Carol Sue I went back to the site you shared and like it better than the other sites I found of his. So I deleted the other one I had found and bookmarked the one you shared. I think what I'm going to like about his book is that he allows the grains like beans and I assume that means I can have my corn too. I think I read where he said eat the carbs earlier in the day. So yesterday I decided to make a steak, corn and broccoli for our main meal and I had grapes for dessert. Then about 7ish, I had scrambled eggs with chunks of butternut squash, a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese and pepper/onion blend and added a splash of HWC. I used butter on my lunchtime veggies and I cooked my scrambled egg mixture in a little bit of Olive Oil and I took a whole Metformin 1000 mg. I was completely satisfied and ate in a 5 hr window.
My weight this morning is down another lb to 220, but not going to change the ticker just yet. Monday is my WI day and since the scale bounced between 219.8 and 220, I just might be down to the weight I was when I got back from my trip. My FBS was 120 this morning. So things are working. I think the Doctor's Diet will probably help me tweak this so that I can live with this. I also like idea that he says lowfat not necessarily high fat. I'm not going to worry about things like eating only 7 eggs a week or adding or not eating fat, because I don't really think that is necessary. And you are right, I like the fruit allowed. I think DH and I used to watch The Doctors tv show, but don't remember what station it was on. I don't think we get that network any more.
I will follow his idea of using berries and grapefruit instead of the sweeter fruits. I do love strawberries which are always plentiful in this part of the country and I also love grapefruit. Can't remember the other fruit he recommended right now.
I feel like I'm finally getting somewhere with all this. I have bloodwork next Thursday and have my A1c the Wednesday after that. But I know it isn't going to be great because of my screwing around with all this since I got back home from the trip. However, I do have a plan that will give me much better results in November. I'm not sure I will tell him what I'm doing until he can see the good bloodwork then.
Going to beauty shop this afternoon instead of tomorrow. Beautician is going out of town this weekend. It will be nice not to have to go anywhere Saturday for a change. I will be doing my shopping tonight with all the people getting off work this evening instead of tomorrow when they are busy with kids or watching games etc.
But will be a nice change.
