“Most people don’t know how to lose weight. They try different diets with good intentions and hope. They fail. They try again and fail. Then they often give up and return to eating for satisfaction and fulfillment. 

Why have so many failed? They’ve tried cutting out sweets. That helps, but it’s only part of the cause of their weight gain. They’ve tried counting calories. That’s burdensome and, again, only part of the story. They’ve failed because no one has ever told them, in clear, everyday terms, how we all gain and lose weight.”
― Rick Mystrom

You control the amount of glucose you put into your bloodstream. Put in less glucose, your body will produce less insulin, and you will lose weight. Put in more glucose, your body will produce more insulin, and you will gain weight. That brings us to the premise of this book: Control your blood glucose, and you control your weight. 
 
Lower blood glucose, and you will lose weight. This is universal. 
How do you lower your blood glucose? The answers are in Glucose Control Eating©.”

“Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Volume 2, 1836 - 1841

“Managing Pressure: Protecting Relationships and Staying Balanced

Pressure is something we all face, whether in our personal lives or at work. It builds up slowly, and if not addressed, it eventually spills over. Sadly, it’s often the people closest to us who bear the brunt of our stress and frustration.

How we deal with pressure matters just as much as the pressure itself. Instead of letting it build to a breaking point, it’s important to find healthy ways to release it — whether that’s through honest conversations, practicing self-care, or seeking support.

By managing pressure in a constructive way, we not only protect our relationships but also approach challenges with a clearer mind and greater resilience.”
― Abdul Wahid Sarguroh
