Right now ... Hi Escapee! :o) It's just a detox diet. No meat, no wheat and no dairy. No sugar. You can have potatoes and brown rice. All the veggies and fruit you want. And then it's just exercise. And thankfully I get to walk every day at work so that really help. My total gone left is 40 pounds but my more current goal is 9. A little at a time. Hope that helps & good luck!

Rn wow you can eat potatoes on that diet Nick? I'm surprised at no wheat though but I guess you'd get your fiber from the fruits and greens?

RN I'm surprised at potatoes! They are huge in sugar. That's why diabetics can't have them.

RN must be working if you lost 40 pounds! Potatoes sort of get a bad rap. They are carb-ey but a baked potato is pretty filling and low in fat. I think it's all the crap that we do to them that makes them worse.

right now, a diabetic can eat anything that anyone can eat. it has to do with portion control/carbohydrate counting to work them into a daily allowance of carbs.

RN....hope I'm not offending any male posters here but I think this is cute! A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath. "Mom", he asked, "Are these my brains?" "Not yet," she replied.

Right now ... I haven't lost 40 pounds, I have 40 more to lose. And yes, the detox diet says all vegetables and fruits. I was surprised as well. http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/dietarytherapy/a/Detox_Diet_Plan.htm

right now, twinks - you and i know this. but alot of people that don't have diabetes don't and believe me, they like to think they are the "food police". such as... "are you sure you can eat that?" "you can't eat any sugar, you're diabetic!" i'm sure you know what i mean hon!

RN Oh, don't I know it. My cousin was the food police with her mother, my aunt. She would never let her have any sweets at all. I sometimes slipped her some anyway. LOL

RN I got my first cell phone in July with a basic plan for $20 a month (not prepaid). I do not text message. I tried it once and didn't see the point in it when you can dial the number and actually talk.

RN, I just found out my sister (who's 19 FYI) got into an accident today. Rear ended someone. She supposedly had a green light and went and the person basically cute her off and my sis rear ended her. She's at the hospital right now...she's fine, but she thinks she has whiplash and her foot has been bothering her. This is her third crash in three years. She just has another accident 3 months ago...got her car fix two months ago...yeah she needs to be off the road. Her insurance is $2100, now my mom is really scared that they may cancel my mom's insurance because my sister is on it. But she is hoping that doesn't happen and as soon as everything is done with the accident that my sister will have to get her own insurance. And we are pretty sure the car is totaled...she was only $500 away from it being totaled last night...

RN Chili, I think we are going to get cell phones soon now that I'm driving an older car. Hey, we might actually move up into the 21st century. RN Beckie, your sister shouldn't be driving! Yikes! Scary!

RN, Twinkie, yes, but my parents are obilivious to everything about her. She's the youngest, so she can get away with anything, like most kids who are the youngest. My mom is especially a push over with my sister...it's very frustrating...

RN while I might have been the youngest and got my way alot when I was younger - never having to do my chores because I wanted to go see my grandma every night whereas my brother and sister didnt was a good one - it was my brother who got his car insurance paid for, who got his car paid for, who got his cigarettes paid for [ok I've never smoked but never once did I get help with my car or car insurance!], etc.
