I would beg to differ. He's not even hit "retirement" age yet. (He'll be 55 in October)

I know I can only do so much, and he has to want to do such also. I want the big lug around a while longer, but if he won't do what it takes to live better, who am I to argue? See, I remember the horrible effects of diabetes, and how devestating it is when you don't take the 10lbs of prevention. I saw a friend's dad lose both his legs to it, then succumb to the aftermath of the surgery.

Now, let's see if I can add my $.25 worth of low carb food... (Off to check my books)

Forget my recommendations. I didn't know your father was so young. Age really makes a difference where diet is concerned. At my father's age, I feel he should have what he wants (within reason). He is now insisting on a parachute drop for his 87th birthday. My mother and I hope we can accommodate him...only problem is...he wants a parachute! LOL!!!!
