Wow Paula Dean

Was just scrolling through the channels and saw Paul Dean. I didn't even recognize her until she started talking. Not a huge fan of hers but I must say she's looking really good. Lost a lot of weight, good for her.

Having recently been given a similar diagnosos (Type 2 Diabetes), you sit back and realize, I have to change. Right now, I'm not on any medications; dr. agreed to lay off for 3 months until the next A1C test. However, when you get the diagnosis, it hits you, especially in your 60's. You want to be there for your grand children.

Since my diagnosis I've lost 15 lbs, watch what I eat much closer than before. I go back for the A1C testing in December, so I have the Holidays to go thru.

I've cut out sweets, white bread, unnecessary fats, diet soda, any alcohol and just read labels like crazy.

She does look good. That being said, when she was on DWTS, she was really over bearing and loud mouthed. That was not a part of her good look, IMO.

Hi Helen,

You and I are in the exact same boat. I would be interested in conversing more about it with you.....possibly on the health boards. Let me know if you are interested. I've got lots to learn about diabetes......unfortunately!

I see Luvdoodles called Paula "Paul."

A couple other posters have done this as well.

HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING?

I don't think you missed anything, Insomniac. It's actually 'Paula' and it's actually 'Deen'.

Just a suggestion, consuming lots of cinnamon is very good for lowering blood sugar levels. I take 3 cinnamon caps a day. I use the True Ceylon Cinnamon.

Thanks for that info, Shelbelle! I didn't know about that. I just had a birthday a couple of days ago and have been eating gourmet ice cream and cake - I keep thinking I'm going to turn up diabetic if I'm not careful.

I shall search for these cinnamon caps. Is it easy to find the ones that are true Ceylon Cinnamon? I know that's what I buy, for cooking, at Penzey's, because cassis is not a good choice for me. But I've never shopped for the capsules.

I agree that Paula losing a considerable amount of weight is a great accomplishment, and I'm sure that is a benefit to her overall health. However, I think she looks older, and it is easier to pick up on photos of her that have been airbrushed.

I get mine from Swanson Vitamins online. It is Swanson brand, best price I have ever found, just type in True Cinnamon in the search box. Even Lessmans cinnamon is not true cinnamon from Ceylon, it is cinnamon bark or cassia which can be harmful to you.

Check Retailmenot for Swanson coupon codes.

Thank You for that info, Shelbelle! I really appreciate it and have copied it down so that I can purchase these.

Like you, I'm careful about the cinnamon products I purchase and have been getting Ceylon Cinnamon for some time now - well, ever since I learned that all the others are cassis and not good for me or my bird.

I read somewhere that only the blood sugar lowering testing has been done using the cassia cinamon and not the ceylon.

Hmmm. Now I don't know what to believe!

I so agree, Paula used to be so attractive when she was heavier. I think once you hit a certain age losing a lot of weight is hard on your skin. You can cover up your body with clothes, but the face doesn't lie. I wonder if Pauls has considered a face lift since she's in the public eye so much.

Paula has great legs!

DWTS was her opportunity to shine with a positive personality. Instead, she chose to have a potty mouth, lift up her dress, etc.

Her big, loud mouth has given her a boatload of trouble. You'd think she'd learn to keep it shut.
