Greetings and Salutations

  • Howdy, all. I am new to dieting and have some questions, but first my introduction.

    My nickname is Z. On 08/27/09, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The following week I enrolled myself into a weight management program and meet with a dietitian. I was weighed (285 lbs) and my BMI was calculated (46). I received my initial counseling session and got my first week's worth of food for the Omnifast diet plan. I started my diet on 09/02/09 and also started a diary to record everything (blood glucose, food intake, supplements, medications, exercise, water consumption, moods, etc...). I've browsed numerous forums for diabetes and dieting. I chose to join this forum on dieting because it is an active community, has useful info, and I like the name.

    I have searched the interwebs and have not found much info on Omnifast. I am curious to find anyone with firsthand experience with Omnifast. I want so much to get feedback from others concerning this diet.

    Oh, and one more thing. Are dudes welcome here?
  • Hi, Z, and welcome. I wish you the best in reaching your weight loss goals.

    Cheers,

    J
