I don't want to get diabetes and I need to loose weight- suggestions?


I don't want to get diabetes and I need to loose weight- suggestions? -- Posted by Rick Johnston on 03-02-04 22:14


I am a 33 year old male who is 75 lbs. overweight. Between the ages of
37-40, my brother and father were both diagnosed with type II diabetes. At
the time of their diagnosis, both were overweight also. Bottom line... I
DON'T want to get diabetes and my risk is greatly reduced if I shed at least
75 pounds. Five years ago, I nearly lost the 75 pounds I needed to and then
gained it back all because I stopped power walking and started to eat again.
I changed jobs, so I haven't had a chance to do the intense walking I used
to use to shed pounds. However, I feel that to be totally successful this
time, I MUST change my thinking too. I eat when I'm bored or nervous, and
generally overeat at meals. I've been doing this ever since I was a little
kid. How can I make my weight loss permanent and just stop eating? Walking
would do it, but the minute I slow down or am in a situation where I can't
walk for some time, I start gaining my weight back. It must come from the
mind too. Help!

Thanks,
Rick Johnston

Go to the URL below & check out allergic reactions to Aspartame. This is
no hoax - I'm a recovering victim.

Caution: Diet sodas have been known to cause weight gain and raise
blood sugar count. Most everyone is a candidate for Type 2 diabetes.

Other than that - there are real good weight loss groups. Just go to
Discussion & type in weight loss
----------------------------------------------
CaloriesCount.com. is a good site. It has free calorie counter plus
give you an idea of calorie count per day to lose weight.

I joined as in pay dues. It gives you a longer list to figure calories
plus keep a running diary - also gives you weekly diets. - each day you
can plan your meals & check the calorie count OR you can post what
you've eaten and see what a good/bad boy you've been.

Hope this helps

Nan

I'm a type II diabetic and a member of forum.lowcarber.org. I've been on a
lowcarb diet for almost 3 weeks. My blood sugars are very close to normal
at all times, I'm not hungry all the time, and I've lost 10 lbs. Woo-Hoo!
Check it out.

I have lost 75 pounds and my BGs, BP, cholesterol, and triglycerides are
all in the normal range. My last A1C was 5.2. This is all from
following a lo carb diet and exercise.

There are so many of us who wish they had written this message at
one time, me for one.

I'm not nearly the expert people on the Alt.support.diabetes are, but
I had a physical in December with even better results. But I am still
IGT,prediabetic.
It's a switch, a trigger. An autoimmune response that the body learns
and once learned, it can't be unlearned. So don't go there. Do whatever
you
have to do to get lean and mean. You can have good physicals all along
and then, BAM!

You just eat properly, low carb, cut out bad habits like smoking and
excessive drinking, and exercise an hour per day. Every day. Vary it so
you don't overuse certain joints. Not swimming for some reason. It's
hard to cut fat by swimming, but running, fast walking, biking, heck, tai
chi.
Anything! Get your heart rate up to 85% max for your age, keep it there for
over half an hour. You'll lose weight, guaranteed.
