This has made such a big difference in the way that I see my food and in the way
that I eat, and the way that I feel.
The last usage went down to 35 -- from 110 to 35.
Because I was starting to
go low and even though I was eating 250 carbs a day, my weight -- I weigh 165
pounds.
I haven't weighed this since high school and
I'm 55.
I've always though -- been told -- once you
pass 40 you can forget about losing weight.
Never in a million years would I have thought how
much weight I would lose doing this or I would have done this a long time ago.
This is the way to go.
If you're diabetic, it's definitely the way to go because of how much
help you're going to get with your numbers and with your diabetes.
It can be reversed.
It's just amazing.
I'm 55 years olf.
Most of my adult life I weighed over 215 pounds.
Tried all kinds of fad diets,
exercise, diet pills, shakes, Weight Watchers, you name it.
I could lose about 10 - 15 pounds and
then I would just gain it right back.
Back in 1998 when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,
probably very similar to what they do now, the doctor put me on Metformin, 500
milligrams to try to get it to come down.
Then he sent me to a diabetes education class where
the main topic that they taught was how to count your carbs,
read the labels, and limit your carb intake to 60
grams per meal, no more than 15%.
Not once did they refer to anything that had to do with fat and diabetes, which
after seeing the online summit really opened my eyes.
My A1c would range anywhere from 10.7 to 7.9.
I went up on my Metformin usage because I wasn't
really maintaining control of what I was eating and
my diet.
And I was under a little bit of stress too.
Around 2013 is when my primary care
physician decided that it was now time for me to start taking Lantis, so he
started me on 25 units.
Well that took me about a year to get up to where I was actually taking
10 units of it.
My blood glucose wasn't under control and I was
still heavy.
My cholesterol was still high.
My triglycerides, blood pressure, everything.
Now I've also been living with heart disease since 1994.
I got 9 stents.
The last heart procedure
that I had done was in February of this year.
Prior to that in December of 2016 my cardiologist
had me come in to do a nuclear stress test which is something that I've been
doing every year.
He saw an area that looked like the blood supply was low, so he decided I needed
to have a heart cath done to see what was going on.
Okay, my experience had been stress test, heart
cath, 1 or 2 stents, and go home, do 12 weeks of cardio rehab and start all over
again.
Well, that didn't happen this time.
This time, the cardiologist came out of the cath
lab a lot quicker than he ever has and was telling my wife and
myself that I had extensive blockages in my heart,
which I don't think he was really surprised to see.
This is the same one that's been putting my
stents in.
And he was like you need to actually get with your regular
cardiologist.
He said because what I see is you need to have 6 bybasses.
I said okay.
And it just so happened that it was on February 3 that I had the heart cath
done.
And the online summit -- the Mastering Diabetes online summit
that y'all did was during that same time frame.
So that Saturday and Sunday my wife sat and watched every one of those people on
the summit.
And we were amazed at what we were hearing and seeing.
We were like, okay.
On one hand, you go in the hospital and you get these
6 bypasses done.
On the other hand, listening to
some of this information on the Mastering Diabetes Summit, it can be reversed.
You don't have to do this.
And that's when I decided I didn't really want my chest cracked open
like an egg, and have my plumbing rerouted so I was like okay,
we're gonna do this.
My wife was onboard with it.
It was just fantastic.
We became members of the Mastering
Diabetes.
Everything that we've been doing is plant-based whole food.
I have not had any meat,
cheese.
And when I say meat, chicken was my big thing.
I loved chicken.
And I could eat chicken
forever.
You know, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Not any more.
After seeing just all the stuff
that I've seen and the information that I've gotten from you guys has made such
a big difference.
Big difference in the way that I see my food, in the way that I eat, and the way
that I feel.
It was nothing for me to sit down and eat 5 pieces
of fried chicken.
And you'd wanna just sit back and
take a nap.
Not do anything.
And I'm sure it did affect my thinking also.
You know it clouded
everything.
It wasn't good, but I didn't realize how good it could be.
It was just a way of life.
The transition process was so much easier than
my wife and I both expected.
And it all mostly
stemmed from the information that we had, that we got from y'all.
You know, again it was like
bypass or lifestyle change.
Because we weren't looking at this as a diet.
This wasn't going to be
a diet.
This was going to be a lifestyle change.
That's exactly what we did.
First it was a little scary because nutritionists and doctors are
always telling you especially if you're diabetic,
"Watch your carbs.
You can't eat the fruits.
You can't eat the potatoes.
You have to watch the
breads."
Going and seeing what a plant based and whole food was I can eat a cup
of grapes.
I could eat like I do for my breakfast now,
I kindof do what Robby does and I'll eat 4 fruits.
Now I'll cut up an apple, a banana, a pear, and
I'll throw a cup of blueberries in on top of all that.
I'll take cinnamon like Cyrus.
I love cinnamon.
I mean I douse it in cinnamon.
I'll throw chia seeds
on there and I've gotten where I every time I eat something for a meal, it's
gonna have either fresh or cooked spinach on it.
I've gotten to where I love spinach.
So the transition was easier than we thought, easier than we expected because of
the frame of mind that we were in.
We were in.
We were all in.
We knew this is what we were gonna do and
we were gonna watch and see what happened.
And it's just been amazing to see the difference
in the way that I feel, the way that I eat, the way that I even act.
My moods, my temperament,
it's just...it's better.
It's just all around better.
Baseline numbers, insulin usage, things like that were high.
Average A1c was around 8.2.
And again I was still taking 100 units of Lantis.
My blood pressure was high, my cholesterol was 230,
my triglycerides were above 150.
And I was still on the Lantis, I was still on 2
different types of blood pressure medicine -- 1 which was a beta
blocker, which reduced your heart rate.
I got to the point of thinking well why am I doing
that because my heart is not getting any stronger if
I'm keeping the rate of it down all the time.
I was just not doing too well with my health.
And that was all before I started.
Now when I went to the plant based whole food diet, I gradually got off my
Varsilia, my Lantis usage went down like the first week down to
like 35.
From 110 to 35.
Because I was starting to
go low.
And even though I was eating 250 carbs a day, and it was all the fruit
and the potatoes.
I was like, this is working.
This is good.
So I was anxious to see what it was going to do with my
cholesterol.
At one point my cholesterol was down to 99 and then it went back up
to 121.
My HDL stayed up at a decent level, but my LDL
was always really high and the triglycerides were
high.
Cholesterol was way down.
The last A1c that I had done was 6.1, so it's way down.
My weight -- I weigh 165 pounds.
I haven't weighed this since high school.
And I'm 55.
I've always thought -- been told -- once you get past
40 you can forget about losing weight.
Never in a million years would I have thought how much
weight I would lose doing this or I would have
done this a long time ago.
It's just fantastic to see the difference from 8
months ago.
From back in February to where I'm at now.
Just to give you another little idea.
When we came out to California, when you go through the
TSA line you present your driver's license and boarding pass.
The guy looked at my driver's
license and was like, "You've lost a lot of weight haven't you?"
Yeah.
This is the way to go.
If you're a diabetic, it's definitely the way
to go because of how much help you're going to get
with your numbers and with your diabetes.
It can be reversed.
It's just amazing to see the
changes that have happened in my body and knowing that it's not me.
It's what I'm putting in
my body.
I've been doing the best I can to anybody that I find to talk them in
to try this.
Try it for 10 days.
You will see a major difference and you won't want to go back to
eating this other stuff.
Do not hesitate.
Go at it as a lifestyle change.
Don't go at it as a diet.
It's not a diet.
It is a lifestyle change.
You will be amazed how much better you feel eating this way.
The one key that my wife and I found that was very helpful
when we started was to focus on what we could eat -
- not what we shouldn't eat -- but what we could eat.
Mastering Diabetes.
Don't hesitate.
Even if you're not diabetic, if you wanna keep
from becoming a diabetic, do this.
And you'll just be
amazed at how much better you'll feel, how much the food tastes better, and all
the options that you actually have.
