 Well All I can say is -I dieted&exersised by brisk walking,and I lost
90 lbs. That was 8 years ago,I've not put any of that weight back.
Don't tell me diet and moderate exersise can't work,my friend,I'm
living proof it does work.I had a blood sugar of 300 and was spilling
4+ I'm now at 70 or 80 fasting,so at least in my case it did work.Eat
less,not starve ,and exersise and your weight will come down.I didn't
lose 90 lbs. overnight,it took over one and a half years.....
                                       Good Luck
