I was not rally heavy to begin with, but fear and terror dropped 15 pounds very quickly. A lot of it is heredity. Just glad I forgot to pay a life insurance premium, and found out I was diabetic when the new policy required blood work.

Type II is one of the great contributors to rising medical costs as it is affecting more people than ever.<br /><br />I was on the path to Type II with insulin resistance, together with several other co-morbities. I weighed 320 pounds at the time. It took surgery, but the insulin resistance and all the co-morbidities are gone. Never regretted the decision for one day.<br /><br />Good luck with year seven.<br /><br />—MikeMichael Gorthttp://magort.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834335945349958946.post-10332802519591291172010-02-17T10:48:23.821-08:002010-02-17T10:48:23.821-08:00Great post Brian.

Some of this is documented in <i>The China Study</i>.<br /><br />Good luck and have a great day.Nathan Waddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982547322186517371noreply@blogger.com
