Those ads cost big bucks to make and show so the people paying for them

expect results. So the producers use all the visual and audio tricks they

can to get you to go out and buy their junk food. One consideration,

however, never even crosses their minds for a moment - what that stuff is

going to do to your health!

You ought not to forget that, to them, you are the sucker, of which one is

born every minute and they have no intention of giving you the famous 'even

break'. Your only weapon is to put up some passive resistance and never,

never under any circumstance buy the 'food' you see advertised - it is

designed to make its manufacturers rich and take from you your very last

dollar.

One thing is dead certain - your body does not need pizza, Becky. If you are

serious about changing your ways, never ever eat pizza again. You say

yourself that all it does is give you a brief satisfaction and then makes

you miserable - but they already have your money! You already have insulin

resistance, Becky, now try building up some resistance to junk food ads and

give up feeling miserable.

I don't think that you need horror stories to wake you up, Becky - you

already know where you are going wrong. I would rather repeat that a twelve

inch plate holds at least four times as much as a six inch plate, and

because you can pile up the food better, probably six times as much. Take

your meal off a six inch plate from now on. Consume at least 400 grams of

fresh vegetables a day (no packets, no bottles, no frozen stuff) and 300

grams of fresh fruit (no tins, no syrup) and, if you still have room on that

6 inch plate, a little whole-grain bread, and a little meat or fish. Pour

some good olive oil (at least $6 a bottle) onto the vegetables

As a type 2 diabetic, take a BG reading before you eat anything, even a

biscuit. If you are not already well below 120 mg%, you have enough

potential energy going around in your blood stream for the time being - you

don't need any more just yet. Wait an hour then try again. If you make a

point of eating no more frequently than once every 5 hours, you won't even

need to take a reading - with all that medication you are getting, it will

just have to have gone down, and if your previous meal was balanced, you are

unlikely to have gone down far enough in 5 hours for a hypo.

Weigh yourself only once a week and let me know what happens - I want to see

if you get the same results as I do and I have lost 9 kg (20 pounds) bit by

bit since mid-January.
