Alcohol presents two problems:

Firstly, it is full of “empty” calories, calories that just sit there on your body as fat.

Secondly, alcohol reduces inhibitions. If you find it hard to stay on your diet when sober, you will find it much harder after a beer or two. And even harder after three whiskeys.

So the rule is simple: don’t drink alcohol until you have built up a bit of “equity.”

We all know that we can’t keep eating as we did and expect a different result, at least if we aren’t willing to spend several hours a day exercising. So if you did as we have suggested and ate only rice (or rice fried in pig fat) until you reached your weight goal but are finding that the weight is slowly coming back on, you are no doubt thinking you can resume your former eating and exercise habits in some fashion. Rather than undergoing daily disappointment upon looking at the scale, you might give this a try:

• eat only rice fried in pig fat Monday through Friday.
• Saturday, or Sunday, (or both if you are at your desired weight) add other foods in moderation, foods that you used to eat,
• Friday and Saturday are booze days, but drink only after 8 pm if you are not at your desired weight.

You can, of course, vary this to something elxe that works for you. You will likely feel much better eating this way. And, as they say on the TV ad, you will like the way you look.

We are approaching Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Christmas season and we all know that that means some parties, some invitations…in short, some great food. And, experience tells us that we normally exit that season up a few pounds and that that January is therefore devoted to recriminations, fasting and the like. It doesn’t have to be. Rather you can start now and build up some of what I call “equity.” Stick to your diet now and get ten pounds below your target weight. Then, when the season hits, you can live it up a little.

The basic problem, in the experience of the undersigned, is that the solution to his diabetes did not require him to buy anything other than organic short grain brown rice, Aurelius’ The Emperor’s Handbook, pig fat, and salt. He already had a stove, a rice cooker and a skillet. He purchased no pills and no speciality food stuff. Therefor no one really made any money on his cure. And if no one makes a dime on a cure, normal capitalist sentiments don’t work as there is no money to speak of to pay to get the word out. If the best cure for a disease costs nothing, no one will know of that cure. We hope to eventually carry ads for skillets, rice cookers, The Emperor’s Handbook, brown rice, salt, oil (pig fat, coconut), blood sugar testing meters, aprons, splatter guards, containers and the like. If we make a dime doing that, we just might be able to spread the word.

The reason diabetes is so prevalent today can be readily determined by simply looking at the people around you. Too many of them are fat. There is a bar/restaurant on just about every block in most cities. We gravitate around food. If you give a party, you put out food or have guests bring their own. Booze, mostly empty calories, is everywhere.

There is nothing we can (or should) do about this. But there are still some things we can do.

Firstly, since most of us eat most of our food at home, we can limit what we eat at home. Cook good, healthy food. And don’t eat much of it. Another meal will be coming around soon enough. Learn to enjoy the pain of hunger.

Secondly, we can eat (mostly) salads when we eat out.

So we put this site up in 2005 but low and behold, in the Spring of 2019, it disappeared. None will be too surprised to learn that its administrator had neglected to back it up. But we have that information somewhere and are looking for it now. As we find it, we will add it to the site.

Sorry to inconvenience our many fans.
