Hi, Group:

 

I am 59 years old. I've been a " normal person " until

recently, when I had a hypoglycemic episode that

scared me enough to take a look at my general health.

I realized that I'm a normal weight, eat a normal

diet, and have normal health--for my age--which scares

me to death!

 

In my opinion, the average American is overweight,

sedentary, hypertensive, prediabetic, and suffers from

cardiovascular disease(s), which are painless--the

first symptom frequently being sudden death. In my

opinion, the average American is a chronic,

degenerative disease waiting to happen.

 

So I would like to talk about diet, but I believe that

I am interested in more than just losing weight. I'm

interested in overall health and wellness. I'm

interested in renouncing the Western diet and

sedentary lifestyle, which is associated with some

20-30 chronic, degenerative diseases pandemic in the

US society.

 

Is this group for just losing weight? How is a recipe

going to solve my problem? I believe that my problem

has something to do with selfishness,

self-gratification; the desire for pleasure, comfort,

recreation manifested as food. What I need is a

psychic change and a lifestyle change--not a new

recipe.
