Just so I’m not always just being a dick in here,
Vegetables with the highest sources of vitamin C include:
Tomato juice seems to have some good benefits. That’s the only juice that you might want to drink, SPARINGLY.
But dude, if you ever mention drinking orange juice again,
The peppers, broccoli, and tomatoes are also high in vitamin A, as I recall from a stock speech I gave regularly when I worked at a Jenny Craig Weight Loss Centre.
Also, @systemlord, you should spend the time you spend reading and responding to posts reading The One Minute Workout, by Martin Gibala, since you need more help than the people you’re responding to and there’s only so much time in the day.

To put this a way I hope you’ll appreciate, this is about as valid as saying “my TRT protocol is spot on” because the average weekly dose is fine, even though they are injecting once a month.
To be honest, I’m not sure what the difference between you and this guy is. Both of you suffer from severe issues, and both of you seem to be in denial of what’s going on and are rejecting attempts from strangers to provide some degree of help.
Ignoring or diverting rather than rejecting. In both cases.
IMO, people are taking the piling on too far here. Do you just want this guy to not come back here? I get that he needs help on diet and exercise. Say that. Say what you think he should improve. If he doesn’t listen, that is his problem.
I think, if he wasn’t continuing to belittle doctors and telling other people that doctors are dumb while ALSO continuing to provide advice to optimize people’s TRT protocols, he might be better received- and though @magick is spot on with his comparison, what I outlined above is what separates them - both are a danger to themselves, only one is a danger to others.
One is asking for advice, the other is giving it out as a self proclaimed expert. And the difference in the tone of the advice they are receiving is telling. I’d also suggest that the advice early on the thread is of a very different tone, and as additional updates come, where OP has clearly not taken any of it on, the tone has become more insistent.
But @mnben87 might be right that the tone is getting too harsh. But if he wasn’t engaging with it when it was delivered more politely, it’s worth seeing if tough love approach gets through. 
I can understand the difficulty when things change and you’re either forced to see yourself differently and act accordingly or run down the rabbit hole of delusion and wishful thinking.
It’s a bad place to be, and for some, difficult choices to make.
Exactly.
I had a buddy who A1c was like 12-13. I got him on 14 hour fasts right now and 250mg DNP EOD (2 weeks on 2 weeks off) Cleaned up his diet drastically. He was on 60iu lantus and 10-12iu novaliN R pre meals.
In two months his A1C is down to 9.7 and he’s is down to 30iu Lantus only.
We only did the dnp two rounds. I doubt we do it again, but most of the studies showed dnp can damn near reverse NAFLD. He lost about 25lbs so far.
He was so heavy working out intensely was almost impossible but now with the weight loss he can exercise harder.
Just telling a story while I poop.
We just need the OP to quit chugging OJ first lol
WHAT? Your are writing about glucose levels of 240 and a A1c level of 7.7 and 8.3… You constantly complain about the incompetence of doctors and praise your own knowledge but you were not able to solve this one on yourself?
Oh lord of the system…
Anyways, i hope you will find your wax to improve your health.
High triglycerides and non-alcoholic fatty liver deposits are both built rapidly on high fructose/sucrose diets. The liver turns large doses of fructose into triglycerides because it can’t turn it into glycogen faster. Fructose/Sucrose is manageable in healthy people’s diets but not if someone already has fatty liver and high triglycerides.
Triglycerides are your best measure of insulin resistance related to the liver since they are built when the liver is overloaded with carbs, especially fructose (and alcohol in AFLD). Fructose doesn’t even go into general circulation in the bloodstream, but gets taken straight to the liver through the hepatic portal vein where the liver tries to turn it into glucose as fast as possible. If you exercise or fast or are in a calorie deficit you usually have room in your liver to put extra glycogen, but fatty liver and triglycerides usually start to increase at around 25 grams of fructose per day-and orange juice carbs are half fructose.
Fasting and eliminating fructose/sucrose, and really any weight loss are going to rapidly reverse NAFLD. If someone is overweight they probably already have fat deposits in the liver and the main “nutrient” that gets turned into liver fats is fructose since the liver can not turn it into glycogen fast enough, and fructose is highly toxic in the bloodstream (about 10x more harmful than an equal amount of glucose).
Fructose and copper deficiency
My god. Who could have guessed??
so your saying OJ is a bad choice? lol
Well my week starts out cooking eggs, chicken and steak and preparing meals ready to go into glass containers. I started out eating wrong, I started eating more variety and instead of just eating a chicken sandwich by itself (old habit), I will now add spinach, broccoli, carrots, avocados and asparagus and love to bake it.
I do exercise 3-4 times per week even though my work requires me on my feet where I’m never in one place for long.
I’m going to be spending more time replying to questions because I had been avoiding taking care of myself by burying myself in other people issues while not working on my own.
It shoots my glucose by 50-70 points and has lots of sugar which has no business in my body.
There is no sugar in my house, Sprouts is where I shop, Ralphs expect for the produce section, the rest is garbage food and only leads to a worsening of my diabetes.
Actually TSH was 0.9, Free T4 1.35, Free T3 3.6, Reverse T3 17 ng/dl, T4 8.5 (4.0-12), Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb) 1.1 0.0-0.9 IU/mL and Peroxidase (TPO) antibodies 10 (0-34 IU/mL).
