I to, follow a low carb diet after being pre-diabetic...even without losing much weight, my AIC numbers went down FAST, Dr. was very happy. I find it so difficult not to cheat, but that applies to any diet for me! Another challenge is trying to cook for my husband and grown son who love hearty "meat and potatoes" meals, and my darling adult daughter who does not eat red meat. It's hard to please everyone and stay on track....I know I need to do something differently....Thank you for the info. and encouragement, I applaud your success! S.

Over the past few months I've added in white wine and slowly five pounds have found their way back to me. I know I just need to cut it out completely and if I feel the need to have a cocktail have a vodka with flavored sparkling water. Thanks for motivation.
