She is a researcher and has a great portion of her website http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/<br />(also available in book form, which I got from local library) about how it really is not your fault. I was sceptical of that until I read what she shares, which is quite well researched. I am prediabetic and my uncle has diabetes but does not control it well. Also, Dr. Bernstein has great resources.

You told it like it is.....we see so many obese children and adults in our area, too.....and it makes me wonder if they ever THINK about what health problems they are creating for themselves...lack of exercise is another problem...too much TV and computer games on hand for today's youth. They need to get outside and run and play!!!<br /> Adults are just as guilty.....!!<br /> Thanks for the tip on Splenda..my hubby is a diabetic, so I, like you, have not used real sugar for a long time. I use Splenda to cook with and no one knows the difference!! LOL<br /> Good luck with your new life-style<br />I know you have inspired ME today!<br />FrancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690459268429711213.post-60689422222823573302011-08-10T22:44:58.351-04:002011-08-10T22:44:58.351-04:00Jil, Thank goodness I popped by your blog today......Jil, Thank goodness I popped by your blog today...You have given me the inspiration to get my self healthy and lose some weight....something I keep putting off for far too long, I have a sweet tooth, so it's going to have to be Splenda for me too!<br />Julia ♥Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207957464039686839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690459268429711213.post-60509412828485474022011-08-10T17:59:45.087-04:002011-08-10T17:59:45.087-04:00Hi Jil, What an excellent blog and I have to tota...Hi Jil, What an excellent blog and I have to totally agree with you. You know I have begun juicing and I am really enjoying the fresh fruits in the morning. Now that said I nearly threw up with the Kale, celery and carrot mix. I gagged it down but boy it was hard, imagine an equally green face.<br /><br />I myself am taking things in hand but it is really tough. Still I am going keep on trying.<br /><br />It will be great to see some of your recipes, enjoy, your friend, Maureen.A Rose Without A Thornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734965001850808156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690459268429711213.post-20962506782921158302011-08-10T16:12:12.973-04:002011-08-10T16:12:12.973-04:00Thanks for the tip on cooking with splenda.

So, I've lost 42 pounds since Feb.22 and I'm now eating healthier and using portion control.<br />I think I'll pick up a copy of that magazine. <br /><br />Good luck with your new healthy lifestyle.<br /><br />hugs<br />SissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690459268429711213.post-50907681865022352672011-08-10T13:04:24.725-04:002011-08-10T13:04:24.725-04:00Great post, Jil!

Although we must each take responsibility for our own fitness (or lack of it)...I learned that it's not ENTIRELY our fault. We have been grossly mislead by Big Food, Big Pharma, the USDA, our government and the scientific community. The low-fat-high-carb diet we've all been told would save us is actually doing us harm. This movie exposes those lies in a very entertaining way. In the last few months, I have totally changed the way I eat...I feel much better for it...and I'm eating foods that I love. Yippeee!!!<br /><br />KathyKatyDidStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924565488913959754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690459268429711213.post-60474463274982031642011-08-10T11:56:45.624-04:002011-08-10T11:56:45.624-04:00Ooooo, don't look at my tea party recipes, the...Ooooo, don't look at my tea party recipes, then! But wait, you could make them with Splenda - and the Peach Champagne Soup has fresh peaches!<br />Seriously, as a nurse, I know you are right on about the increase in morbidity with obesity. My solution was a lapband - I lost over 100 lbs. But it brought my overeating to a screeching halt - a big lifestyle change, and not for everyone, but 4 years later, I'm still keeping my weight under control. Good Luck!
