Hi Mike,

I always find talk about intuitive eating and alternative ways to eat with 
diabetes useful!  Go for it!

> dietitian who subscribes to a food plan regimen different from the usual
> "lose tons of weight; eat low-fat foods, even if the carb count may be
> moderate to high" mantra. The dietitian we featured was of the "Intuitive
> Eating" school associated with the "Health at Every Size" movement which
> emphasizes health no matter whether one is fat or thin and letting your 
> body
> and intellect govern what you eat. We've also featured diabetes educators
> and doctors speaking on various aspects of diabetes care.
