Hi Chuck:
I too had the same health problems several years ago. My wife also had the same problems, overweight, diabetes, blood pressure, bad hdl ldl etc. The Dr. suggested that we start medication to help cure the problem. I suggested that we should wait and see what I can do for my self.
My wife started us on the South Beach Diet. At the end of 30 days, I had lost 30 lbs. and all of my other problens were abated. I also tried to take the dog on a walk every day. When I returned to the Dr., he and his staff were amazed to see the progress that I had made. I think that diet and exercise will work better than taking medications.
Try it for weight loss control and other health problems.
Try the SBD. You can pick up sthe diet book and the diet cookbook at a book store. Follow the diet,and I will promise that you will improve your health.
Good luck,
Franchi
