[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1361043, member: 19322"] Controlling weight has a lot to do with our thinking. The word "diet" has a negative connotation. Like I have to restrict myself to get to a particular weight. Mentally, it has to become a life style. Something you do to have a quality of life you hope to have for years to come. At 22 was working on construction projects, digging footings and forming concrete walls with steel forms. I ate about 6000 calories per day. One day at noon I wasn't hungry and didn't eat anything in my lunch bucket. When we starting back to work I got extremely thirsty and would drink one of those little pointed cups of water about every 15 minutes, and pee every third cup. It rained that night so the next day we didn't work. I felt so bad I went to the Dr. and after some test determined I was diabetic. Required insulin. Body produced none. Just boom. You got to do this, eat this, don't eat that. Dietitian told me I need 2400 calories per day. (that's when I figured out how many I had been eating). I was 6'-4 and 220 pounds and suppose to live on nothing. Endocrinologist have told me, those who have low BS on a regular basis without managing their eating by giving their body protein before the BS drops are on a path to diabetes. Do everything you can do now to prevent further health challenges. I very seldom eat a big meal. I graze all day long! My philosophy is now, I eat to live...I don't live to eat! [/QUOTE]
