Newbie is not overweight - he actually looks to me to be almost underweight. He's one of those who eats well, salads and lean meats, no junk food. He'll indulge sometimes and says his blood sugar levels stay pretty low overall. Since he's type II he is not insulin dependent and does pretty well maintaining himself.
