- In preparing meals I've reduce the meat and starch portions (potatoes and pasta) and increased the vegetable portions and salads.
- We've eliminated sugar from our diet
- We walk a mile after dinner 4-5 evenings per week.
- We eat smaller meals and have a between meal snack of fruit, nuts, or some other low carb food.
Giving up pasta was a hard thing to do, but luckily I found Dreamfields
pasta on the Internet. With only 5 digestible carbs and a low glycemic index, Dorothy has been able to eat her normal serving with out substantially raising her blood sugar. That was a good find.We took photos of each other and after about six months I'll post the before and after shots on this blog. That is, if we continue this regimen successfully.

It's good that you are having success with your regimen. I wish I could say the same for myself.
It's weird, but fruit pushes up my glucose levels faster than chocolate. Pasta is also bad for me. It puts me to sleep faster than a sleeping pill.
Strawberries seem to be bad for Dorothy. Wouldn't you know it's her favorite. But she does well with the low carb pasta, and it tastes normal.
This is great you're doing this for each other. My husband and I have had to do it, too, and after slimming down, we're a lot happier. We have a stronger bond as well, because we are helping each other age in a healthy way.
I admire your self-discipline.
Hi, Mary Lee, it's good to here from you.
