My husband was diagnosed as borderline diabetic after a back surgery and I was diagnosed with hypertension, I believe caused by overwhelming stress at work. My husband started with 1800 Cal Diabetic Diet. He does not take insulin, his diabetes is controlled by diet. I joined him because I want to end my struggle on weight loss. The problem was, we both felt too much limited with choices in the lists. 40-30-30 Fat Burning Nutrition is God's gift. By finding our specific Zone, we are able to bake that cake and eat it too while losing weight 24 hours a day!. We stayed on it to make sure we eat balanced meals.
