I'm on a great diet right now. Nearly 20 pounds down since May 5! Clothes that I thought I'd never wear again are too big.
At age 60! Yeehaw!
Mr. AOW's A1c has dropped from 6.9 to 6.0 since he went partially onto this diet..
Anyway, this morning, this June 26, 2012 article caught my eye as my weight gain was primarily due to having to take Lyrica for an extended period of time:
Now, I'm sticking to my diet like you wouldn't believe although I wasn't technicall overweight when I began this diet. Why?
1) My doctor had advised me to "lose a few pounds" so as to lower my triglycerides.
2) Friends of mine who had used the diet looked wonderful.
3) I'm a determined German.
4) The products are delicious and do not taste like diet food. And I can have steak and seafood on this diet.
5) The diet is expensive.
6) Most important, I CHOSE to use this diet.
7) Results are amazing, and I feel better than I've felt in years.
Forcing people into any treatment program, whatever that program is, typically is not successful, particularly if the treatment program is free or nearly free for them.
ObamaCare, if upheld by the SCOTUS tomorrow, will be forcing people into all sorts of treatment programs AT YOUR EXPENSE TOO. The greater good and all that.

Creeping Nanny State

Pastorius, I'm once again a babe!

We're From the Government, and We're Here to Help You Lose WeightExcept that
While most of Washington is waiting around, nervously chewing on its fingernails in anticipation of the Supreme Court's Obamacare decision (may I have the envelope, please), there are some who are still in the fight. As Melissa Healy writes in the Los Angeles Times:a federal health advisory panel on Monday recommended that all obese adults receive intensive counseling in an effort to rein in a growing health crisis in America.And much of the increase will be borne by the non-obese, since that's the way subsidies work. But if it slims the population down enough to cut back on the cardio-vascular afflictions, the diabetes, and the other ills associated with obesity, then maybe we should soldier up and go with more government, less personal responsibility, and a spike in the population of counselors instructing grown-ups on the importance of eating more leafy green vegetables.

Widespread adoption of [its] recommendation would increase ... spending, at least initially.
The panel acknowledged that one problem with its recommendation was that no studies have shown such intensive programs provide long-term health benefits.ObamaCare requires insurance companies to cover panel-recommended weight loss plans.
