About my stopping meds

Diane,
If you want to continue to lose weight, not eating isn't the answer in the long term. Eating tiny meals several times a day is the way to go. If you decide what you are going to eat for the day and divide it up you will do better than if you ate it all at one meal. Also, don't forget your nuts and oils. They satisfy for a long period and delay hunger. Carbs jump the intestinal barrier very quickly, spike your insulin and create hunger very soon after consumption. This is why they give you bread sticks when you are waiting in a restaurant, to make you hungry for the main course. If they served you olives and/or nuts your hunger would diminish. One good thing to eat when hungry that's nutritious and hunger satisfying is about 2 oz of motzarella cheese (2 one by one inch blocks) along with about 18 peanuts or 6 almonds. You have protein, calcium and monosaturated fats going on here for healthy snacking. Good luck with getting your diabetes under control. You may be able to get back to controlling it with just diet eventually.
