Sorry I have been MIA for a while.

Have been dealing with yet another shocking diagnosis.... Went to have my eyes tested, and came away with the diagnosis of Macular Degeneration! So me being me, started to look into foods I should be eating for eye health.  I have to take special vitamins for my eyes, but thought everything I can do nutrition wise I would do.

Even though there is no cure for this I'll  be doing everything I can to slow the process down, and keep smiling while doing it!

My weight is still in the 220's and coming down slowly, so it's still a win, win for me.

Hoping everything is going well for the rest of the FTS family

Hi Renee! I too have vision problems.I have been blind in my right eye for years and now my vision is starting to come back.I have been working with the top doctors at Bascom Eye hospital in miami.I drink a shake Spirolina (which is powdered seaweed) which is great for the eyes let alone the rest of your body.I also put hemp powder,chia seeds,zero and almond milk.

So sorry to hear that diagnosis, Renee.

The Good Lord has blessed me with good eyes (albeit getting weaker as I age).
I'll be sure to pray extra for you.

Thank you guys,

Umpa, the shake sounds like something I would like to be trying.  How much of each ingredient do you put in it please?

Sounds as though it would count as a complete meal or snack. It does have carbs, protein and fat in doesn't it?

Have replaced cabbage with raw spinach for my salads, plus if I make a smoothie I add spinach to that as well.

Glad to hear you're gaining sight in your eye again.

I love it -- what kind of reactions do people have to that?  Preach it Doug, Preach it!

Renee -- I admire your moxie.  I need to find a FTS doc myself.

Ok guys....the results are in!!!! Just had a call this morning from the nurse who drew my blood yesterday. She said the Doc wanted her to call me with the results....A1C from 8.3 to 6.7, CBC normal, Blood Sugar 124, Potassium 4.3, Liver Function normal, Cholesterol  196, Bad Cholesterol 131, Hemoglobin 6.7 and finally Kidney Function normal.  She said the doctor wanted her to tell me that whatever I'm doing to continue doing it because they were really pleased with the results.

So that combined with the small weight losses means I really am winning big time!

Go me!

  HOORAY, RENEE!!!

Your body is thanking you for not dumping hidden sugar poisons into it.

FTS is about getting healthier.
And I'm so happy your body is responding so well!
I can imagine you're feeling much better, too!
