Hi Luella,

I'm not following a specific diet. I just keep my calories between 1,500 and 1,800 per day, eat no more than 3 Egg Yolks per week, use Morningstar Bacon/Sausage substitutes at Breakfast, and drink nothing but Water, Unsweetened Tea, or Black Coffee with all meals. As you may remember I have not eaten Red Meat for over 5 years now, so I eat Fish, Chicken, a lot of varied Vegetables and moderate amounts of Fruit due to my Diabetes. I stick to Whole Wheat Bread and Pasta, Whole Wheat or Almond Flour, Miracle Noodles whenever possible, and I use Egg Whites wherever possible for Protein.

Unfortunately, since my Foot Surgery to remove a Diabetic Cyst back in 2011, walking is a challenge and I rely on either a Cane or a Walker to get around. Therefore, regular exercise is almost impossible. I use the following daily...

I also use the Sit and Fit: Diabetes and Balance Workout DVD daily as often as possible.

I appreciate your kind words and your concern and support. I've got one advantage over you since I'm 6 ft tall, so it's distributed a little better. However,according to the Doctor, I still need be down to the low 200's at most, so there's a long way to go yet. One day at a time, with a lot of Prayer and the Support of Friends like you and I'll make it one day.

Thanks My Dear Friend & God Bless,

Phil
