I had a conversation last week with a very dear relative of mine who is on the cusp of diabetes. She’s very overweight and lives a somewhat sedentary lifestyle. Being Hawaiian, a main staple of their meals is white rice. As usual when she asks for my help, I encourage her to put away the rice cooker…to start. It’s very tough to turn your back on a cultural dish that is ingrained in your every day. But it’s also necessary. Stay tuned for updates on how she’s doing now that she’s determined to lose weight and get stronger.
