Well, we've been away for a while, although we have kept to a lot of the habits, we haven't been "on plan" for over a year. Well, DH got diagnosed last week with diabetes! It was the wake up call we needed, I guess. Right off, after meeting with the diabetic nurse and dietician, he says, "I want to go back to South Beach, Phase I" I was stunned, and lord knows I hated phase I, but I am backing him up. It's just two weeks. It retrains your palate, it jumps starts your weight loss. We each need to lose around 20% of our total body weight to be at a "healthy weight"

Here we come again!

I'm sorry to hear about DH's diagnosis. Good Luck on SB and I hope it helps get his sugar under control!
