Lost I would love a hundred dollars for every "cure" that I have heard and read about got T2 - I would be very well off. I do not know if there is any truth to this or not. I do know that seaweed can be good for people - it is full of minerals including iodine (which many do have to be careful about having in any large amounts) - but a answer for us? Somehow I doubt that. Might help a little, might not hurt most but do not see it as the answer. Sorry.

I was reading the comments on the article and it really makes me so mad that people are still - in this day and age - blaming the person who is over-weight or obese and saying eat less and exercise more and you will lose weight, don't they think that most of us try to do that? For some of us it just isn't that simple.
How judgemental and uninformed. Imagine they have the body fat of a pencil. Sometimes my computer is lucky to survive when I read things like that.

Years and years ago, I heard of seaweed as being good for losing weight. Myself and a girlfriend both tried it and we were really sick from it. I dont think i could ever stand to even look at any of this stuff to this day. Does it work? Well, you lose weight because you keep throwing up lol

Oh Goldi that was TMI first thing in the morning for me - I think I will move on.

Yea too many people are on the see food diet - See food and eat it.
I was looking in the library at all the diet books it crazy the shelves are full of them from the Banana diet through to grapefruit

I Bet I could dream up some absolutely outlandish diet system to write a book about. Some thing appealing like the Maple syrup diet (MSD) for short!

Lost I hate to break this to you but that one has already been done - my hubby has used it.
But nice thought and I get your point totally. It is a billion dollar business around the world.

Yuck seaweed would make me lose my appetite for sure! It is good for your skin apparently but I leave it to the skin care and out of my diet lol.

People are trying so hard all over to lose weight. They will try anything, just praying it will happen this one time.. from foods to drugs. I , myself did the drug thing and will regret it for the rest of my life, because of all the damage it did to my body. We all know what works.. the good old watch what you eat and exercise. It is just so hard to do, so we look for an easy fix.... and there isnt one.

Is Seaweed the stuff which is in Chinese canned food? If not, what does it tastes like and is it low in salt and does it have any fiber, and is it overpriced? I know there is something which taste awesome and I found out how healthful garlic was after I got to love it and I love nuts and I found out they are healthy. If you are very blessed to find out what you love greatly is good for you, that is what I love most of all. Olive Oil has a special acquired tasted and if you love it, it is very healthy and I have some purple hull peas at a price I can afford and if I can afford it I will get 10 more bags of it, it is frozen and low sodium and has fiber in it. I want food which I love, taste great and is affordable and I am going to believe I will get more of the peas which are frozen since they sure fill me up and yummo. I hope someone has found good foods which have blessed there health along with there health. I am trying to eat healthier and it takes desire and focusing on the prize. At 10:15 AM 176bs I had kid cereal and I spent time with mom where I was a blessed as often. My blood sugar was 105 at 2:50 PM and although I got weak, I had an awesome meal, I feel awesome now. I love cabbage which is awesome with a meal which makes it better, but I eat it since its healthy although I know its more better, not good English, to mix in good and healthy items and that makes you healthier although I don't think one product alone can do it alone. I am sure this could be misread, I hope not.

Hi Hathani, Is your dog on insulin? I would have its blood sugar checked QUICK! Why? Because that is one sweet pup.If I rubbed that dog, my blood sugar would shoot up 50 points in no time. Now back to the topic.

Seaweed is green, Vernon.. kind of like spinach, only sure doesnt taste as good. Have you ever gone swimming in a lake or ocean and there is this slime stuff like weeds that you get stuck in? Well, that is seaweed. It really doesnt have any taste at all, but would have fiber.

Sounds like you are eating really well, Vernon and keeping your sugars low too. Just dont get so weak that you cant do anything. Eat your snacks and meals to stop that from happening. huggs

My blood sugar is stable again, but now its 120-135 and that's with little cinnamon so good although I am not sure when I will get more of this, but I might be confused about this, but I know Louisiana has a lot of Moss in the water and I'm sure you will not know what this is, but it is similar to seed weed although the foods which I can't afford often although when the prices are affordable, I try to buy them when possible. I felt weak not long ago and my blood sugar had dropped from March 24 10:15 AM 176bs 2:50 PM 105bs and I felt better when I got to eat although I worked on getting a new doctor I'm sure. I hope this makes sense. That was my highest with only three exceptions when it was higher.

That is good that you have kept your blood sugar stable, Vernon. I didnt find that cinnamon helped me much anyway, so I dont think that would make a real big difference. I hope you get your vitamins soon.

We had lots of moss in our lakes when I lived in Ontario, Vernon. It isnt the same as seaweed. Moss is green and is rooted to the ground, usually. We used to find it mostly in the bush. Seaweed looks more like spinach and is slimy in the water. You wouldnt like it <G>

My grandparents last name was Moss so I related to the Moss, no relatives are named Seaweed. I can't check my blood sugar since I couldn't find my machine although I hope to find it and I check it later or before long.

You will be glad to hear I missed out on some sugar based cake, but my dad was suddenly ready to leave although I had some low fiber rice and I am taking cinnamon, but its the stronger and more expensive kind which works better and I am having better blood sugar and yet I have had more blood sugar spikes of 150-190 when it does spike, I wish I could have had some sugar based cake at the birthday party and if I didn't mention it, it was for my niece and one boy had the company of 5-9 girls near his age I would have loved that when I was his age, I got to spend time with the cheerleaders after school before the bus picked me up, I loved it.

Do you think you could have left your machine at the birthday party, Vernon? I would call them and see if they found it there, although, if they did, you would think they would let you know.

I bet you wish you would have had some of that birthday cake, Vernon and it is too bad that you couldnt have had a tiny piece. What is a birthday without birthday cake, i ask you!
