Following. Not read any of these but interested

I’m more curious on what you expect to learn from these books, that you wouldn’t just learn from real life experience

Guessing the books will still augment/refine your skills even if you can learn it via experience

Interesting. Had no idea there were so many books for implementation.

Last Spring I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. When I was diagnosed, I think I had had it for several years. My doctor put me on a diabetes med (my A1C was 10.2 and my blood sugar was 270). I knew I didn’t want to deal with the adverse effects of this disease, so I made some drastic dietary changes, started exercising, and brought my blood sugar down. I am now back in the pre-diabetic range, and I got off my diabetes meds. I lost 40 lbs. and feel great! Take care of yourselves! It’s important
