What happens if you read the material aloud? You would be 'hearing' what

you said. Just curious.

,

Let me put the " rumor " to rest. That's exactly what I said.

As to the " just curious " question: yes, if I were to read a novel out loud to

myself, my retention capacity would be enhanced, but reading aloud to oneself is

very distracting in itself and extremely slow. Also irritating to those around

you. That is what I do with short emails however. Your suggestion or question

sounds good on the surface and I do appreciate it, but it is not at all

practical for me. Just for the heck of it sit down, pick up a book, and try

reading 100 pages out loud to yourself sometime. The first few pages go all

right, but you'll find that it becomes a real PITA very quickly:-)

The ADA has I think about 150 to 200 carbs a day and Atkins starts with 20

carbs a day and you work up, but most people can't lose or keep their blood

sugar down eating much more than 20 to 50. Bernstein recommends 30 a day for

all diabetics. Some people do well on the ADA, but for me time ran out and

my blood sugar just got higher and higher and the meds were added until the

side effects kicked in and the meds quit working and that's when I cut the

carbs.

Any diet you go on and lose weight, it you just turn around and start eating

the old way again you will gain it back. The sad staticts that I saw on TV

were that 80% of all people that lose more than 80 pounds gain in back in 5

years.

I have to agree with Bernstein here...just speaking for myself...I have

found 30 grams a day to be my limit...if I go much over that my bg starts

jumping. A trick I've been using here is I plan on about 20 grams and then I

figure the other 10 will be taken up by those little grams and part grams

here and there I miss counting...it seems to work for me. The highest my bg

has been jumping lately is round about the 115 to 123 mark and that is only

when I eat breakfast too late from sleeping in and my morning rise kicks in.

The rest of the day I'm down between mid 80's to 100.

Everyone I know that has lost weight is the same way. My sis has spent so

much money and been on every single diet there is. She is loosing weight

right now on her own and she is scaring me cause everytime she does that she

has cancer. I just hope she is ok. Anyway, I think the only real way is to

have a sensible eating plan and to change your lifestyle. I just wish I

could do that.
