may i ask why? or to what end? you dont seem like a 'flippin the bird' kinda guy!

Haha! I am mostly kidding But there is the occasional post where the bird seems to be the most appropriate response….

BTW how is your health coming along? still making progress? having any hiccups or complications? i know more about medication side-effects than i would like to at 26 y/o.

wishing you all the best Lou!

Thanks, man. I am doing well. I've lost 50 lbs and am continuing downward to my goal. I've got about another 85 lbs to go. My doctor has referred me to a nutritionist who specializes in diabetes patients, and I am looking forward to meeting with her. I've been experimenting with different foods, and using my blood-glucose meter to determine the effects of said food on my glucose level. I recently discovered rice has a detrimental effect. I imagine the nutritionist will be able to straighten me out about what I should not be eating.

Last time I was in to see the doc, he gave me a Mediterranean Diet hand out, with some great dietary guidelines for diabetes patients, which includes wine (yay!). Of course, it also includes rice……so…….

hey Lou! great to hear from you, and CONGRATULATIONS on losing 50 lbs!! that is no mean feat!! i think you have reached the -3dB point and it will be much easier and will happen faster with the rest of the way

last semester i took a Nutrition class, with a very progressive teacher who was always open to new ideas, certain things work better for some people than others and i think consulting with a Nutritionist is a great idea. i learned really a lot and was really glad i took that class.

(internet high-five/fist-bump) you da man!!

Given the timing of the request, I think it was fairly obvious what it pertained to. The good thing is I now have permission to use the cbass emoticon.

Lou, glad you seeing positive results from your efforts. Here's to continued success.
