First Month...WOW

Postby ChristyWest » Tue Apr 23, 2013 6:05 pm

Monday was my one month check in with my doctor. Amazing how easy and fast this first month on program has gone. The short story, diabetes has been in complete control and I have lost 24lbs. I have not been hungry at all. I eat till I am full. I also eat when I want. The only thing I am a wee bit embarrassed about is I only exercised three times. I have promised my doctor that number will be much higher at my next check in. :-D

Keep doing it. The benefits should only get better with time and adherence.

Thank you everyone. I was surprised to hear my doctor say he pretty much has the same way of eating. So thankfully I did not have to hear or be shown once again "the healthy food pyramid" and walk out with a little booklet on proper eating guidelines. I wish everyone a great day!

Yes, congrat!!! I too am new here. Day one of eating this way and posts. I too am very curious on some of the foods you ate. Today my staples are potatoes. After reading on here and some other articles Mary mini plan... and MWL book, it seems that potatoes are safe to eat. But, I have to tell ya, I'm still a little scared because of some of the old programming I have about "starch"/"potatoes"----

So, I would love to hear what you you ate!
Congrats again!
