I was reading the paper today and the cover of Parade had a picture of “The Incredible Shrinking Drew Carey”. He has lost 77 pounds on his way to trying to lose a total of 92 pounds. Not good for him but GREAT for him. Before he had type 2 diabetes and after 10 weeks on his diet the doctor said all the symptoms of diabetes had reversed…no more meds. Drew has done it with exercise and eating much better than he had. A lesson can be learned by all.
My story is a little different. I have been a proponent of preventive dentistry for years and had been saying for a while I will change my diet someday. A few months ago I was turned on to a lecture on YouTube called Sugar, The Bitter Truth and someday became that day. I really changed my diet to try and eliminate as much processed food as possible. Even though we may have the best health care around I want to take as much control of my destiny as possible.
While I will continue to share my successes with the change in diet one of the most incredible things for me is that I have been able to control my sweet tooth. I just was able to stop eating stuff like ice cream and candies cold turkey.
In time I will share more of my successes as well as successes of others. We lead by example.
Thanks Drew Carey
