[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is what worked for me to lose a significant amount of weight, keep it off, and reverse pre-diabetes. Would he be willing to read or listen? https://www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight/dp/1771641258/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

After my health was in a better place I did go to therapy and work on childhood trauma, which also helped. But, when I was in BED mode and having reactive hypos that felt like panic attacks, it was too much to contemplate and I don't think I would have been available in the same way.

My brother is now full blown diabetic. He reminds me of how you describe DH, he always ate a lot of chips, beer, etc. but was extremely active. To him if he kept weight down he could eat whatever. But then the health issues started despite exercise. It was clear that exercise was not achieving the health goals and he was gaining, but he did not have the tools to deal with self destructive behaviors re: starch, sugar and booze. He shares my childhood trauma experiences. but has never addressed it. He lost some weight but refused a CGM or to do Virta Health as his doctor recommended and he is facing vision issues from the diabetes. As the saying goes, you can't outrun a bad diet.

Best wishes to those dealing with these issues themselves or in loved ones. [/quote]
