Looking For a Diet That Works
Diet, at our house, means much more than losing weight. Truth be told, none of us are really overweight. (Frankie is positively skinny, the brat!) I would be happy to lose 5-10lbs, especially around the middle.
In Mark's case, we need information on diets that work for managing his blood sugar. A sweet tooth and carb-loving appetite, is just not good for diabetes. But, with the price of meats around here, it's really difficult to keep him full without shooting his sugar through the roof.

I was curious about the Glycemic Impact Diet from eDiets. It sounds like what we need - but, they all do, until you look a little closer. Still, it does bear reviewing; if for no other reason than knowing - for certain - that it's a bad idea.
After some review, information input, and eDiet recommendations, I have to say I'm rather impressed. Naturally, we can't get any actual information or help until we pay the monthly fee (not happening, right now). However, the system is easy and does seem to accurately assess needs, based on profile details.
Oh, it wasn't the Glycemic Impact Diet that was suggested. It was the Living with Diabetes online plan. Which includes dietician support, meal plans, personalized menus, shopping lists, and custom fitness guidance.
Could be a workable idea. We'll just have to see what we can afford - or find some good recipes on our own.
