This is a continuing challenge for me, and it hits so very close to home. Dad's been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and mom has had breast cancer. Dietary factors are really the only risk I'm in charge of anymore.
I do know I was losing weight -- particularly that abdominal fat -- when I didn't consume sugar. (Artificial sweeteners make me feel ill.) I slept better, woke better, and had better energy throughout the day.
I keep giving it up and then falling off the wagon. ::sigh:: Every breath is a chance to start over, right?
