Hi all, I spoke to Nancy this morning, she has been a little MIA lately, so I hope she managed to get back on track today. I haven't. Still a little off track, carb wise, but keeping calories pretty low for the day.

Went to MacDonalds today and had one of their advertised chicken flatbread sandwiches. It looked really good on the advertisement, but I don't think I've ever eaten anything that had LESS flavor than that. It tasted like things always do when you have a cold and can't taste anything, only I didn't HAVE a cold. I don't know how that place manages to stay in business, I really don't. I rarely eat there because I just don't feel like they give me any value for my dollar, and today was no exception.

Anyway I guess I shouldn't have been eating that sort of food anyway, but still what a disappointment!

My father in law is in the hospital. He entered thinking that he had had a heart attack. All the symptoms, chest pain, pain in his shoulder, shortness of breath. We were supposed to go see him today, but didn't get there yet.

He doesn't take care of himself. Was recently diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. Is on blood pressure medicine, is supposed to eat a low carb diet. He drinks and smokes, (and probably the most discomfort he has from being in hospital is not being able to have a cigarette), and doesn't eat right.

I feel like I should give him "Protein Power" to read, but I doubt if he would read it. All the classic indications of "hyperinsulinemia" are present in his case, and yet he has yet to consistently do anything about it. He has changed his diet somewhat, but not really much. I guess it is hard for any of us to stick to (myself included), but with death knocking at the door you would think he would try harder.

It certainly makes me stop and think anyway. It can happen to any of us, all that modern way of eating is just deadly. For some of us more than for others, but it is bad for us all.
