    Go see Dr. Terry Grossman in Golden Colorado and read his book Fantastic Voyage. He is my doctor and he is the best!
    The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you???re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
    *1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/...
    Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
    Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
    Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht...
    Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/w...
    It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
    Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:

    *2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
    Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid ???High Glycemic Load Carbs??? (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

    *4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
    *5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is ???Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005???. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
    Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.

    My husband is also-- I am trying to help him.. He has gained 30 lbs. since being on the pump. He injected for 2 yrs. before that and gained maybe 5 lbs. But his A1C is WAY better. SO we feel good that his health is better even if her is 20-30 lbs. overweight. I am going to see what suggestions come in for you. He asked his Dr about South Beach and he said no.

    I am not in Colorado, but I do know of a plan that you might be able to use & I think you're doctor might approve of.
    I have a cousin who is a juvenile diabetic & I know these products, and program have helped her. I also have a friend who lives in Pennsylvania who is diabetic and has finally regained feeling in her feet, which she lost due to diabetes.
    If you'd like to talk some more, you can email me at:

    I'd love to help if I can

    hi
    You can get a lot of information from this particular website here goes,
    If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
    Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx
    good luck
