I can't believe that HHS Secretary RFK Jr posted this:

I ate a large extravaganza pizza from Domino's all by myself on Saturday. That's the one with all the meats and veggies. I looked 9 months pregnant! As far as geometrical dietary models go, forget the pyramid. The spoked pizza wheel is by far the best. Meat, veggies, fruit (tomato sauce and black olives), dairy, and grain. It even has fungi in the form of mushrooms! It is the delectable food of the gods.

And someone wonders why they're diabetic. 9_9

The only thing undiabetic about pizza is the crust. And even the whole grain version of that is ok.

Oh, it's as much about portion size as it is about ingredients.

Not when you eat one meal a day, take Metaformin, and take daily "out of breath" walks. Recent A1C level at 7.0.

Losing any weight at all?

[Magical Realist]

I fluctuate from 235 to 245. I need to get back down to around 210 or maybe even 200 which is what I was in the Navy even when I worked out.

Oh, is fluctuation weight lose?

Oh, is fluctuation weight lose?

Weight includes a lot of variable factors--water weight, muscle mass, stomach contents, and of course seasonal fat accumulations. You should know this. For instance, if I don't lose much weight when I first begin walking, it is probably due to the building up of muscle mass that replaces the fat loss. Long term walking will resolve that as more fat is lost.
