An "The Stamp Forum", Social Awareness topical. A Worldwide epidemic. In Australia a person is diagnosed with Diabetes every 9 minutes. ("The Sporting Nation) I no longer have diabetes, due to my cycling and diet, I am, today, beginning a 56 day, "800 calories a day" diet. There is good science indicating, Type 2 diabetes can be reversed, with a low calorific ingestion, esp for diabetics < 10 years It's not going to be easy, I am dreading the pain, but will be so interesting to see my blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels etc. Today I bury the Ice cream bucket, the loaves of bread, hello! vegetables, hello Pumpernickle and Quinoa. hello! hunger.  |

rod222, 800 calories/day is about 1/3 of the estimated energy requirement for an active adult male. Have you consulted with a physician before attempting such a regimen? If so, exercise caution!

Thank you Steve.
No, I havn't. But I can.
The 8 week "diet", is targeted mainly to lose weight,
I'll revisit, the program, I taped it.
"Active Male" ? we stamp collectors do a lot of sitting down.

Thank you Steve. No, I havn't. But I can. The 8 week "diet", is targeted mainly to lose weight, I'll revisit, the program, I taped it. "Active Male" ? we stamp collectors do a lot of sitting down. That's a bit harsh Rod, only 800 a day, listen to Steve's advise, he knows a thing or two about keeping guys in shape, if you are going to be on the bike you might just pass out on the side of the road one day. You will burn about 60 cals just sitting down, 800 intake, you may go into Ketosis see a doctor or a nutritionist and don't be watching then TV shows. I watch a show many years ago on how to be a millonare in just 2 weeks, still waiting. You could always take a trip to Frog and do some hard back breaking work, that will get you in shape, plus you get to spend a day or two helping out with Mom's WW collection. |

Thanks for your concern Admin,
I shan't be silly.
I take protein for long rides.
We have our 60km ride arriving April 3rd. Great fun, amongst 5000 other riders.

....and help she does need. I am only there a too short five hours /week.we try not to arrive before she wakes from her mid morning nap,and must leave shortly after diner.Her main problem at the moment is retrieving the catalogs from the bottom of cabinet they reside in.My sister insists she clear everything off the table, so she wastes a lot of stamp time getting things out and putting them away.
Rod should spend a couple weeks there although he would fail the diet,Mom loves food and hates to eat alone.
I counted her binders last week and it is now at 132.Quite a collection to behold.
