[QUOTE="Bez__, post: 1160570, member: 22126"] OK - some possible words of wisdom from (I believe at the moment I am) the reigning topic lock down champ! I hope you will all allow me to pontificate a bit. As a guy who lives a different kind of life from the average bear, I have been under the mandatory military care of a dietician for many years - as have nearly all of the guys who travel with me. For anyone who is serious about diabetes and wonders about food - their best bet - and it truly is - is to set up an appointment with a registered dietician. They have the food answers, meals ideas and recipe answers for you. Plus the meal plans that will suit your life style. [u]This will be some of the best money you spend and it might even be covered under your plan.[/u] However you have to make the effort because they will not come and knock on your door. I live and die on some of their ideas and I have also participated in some pretty interesting experiments - you would be surprised at what you can eat and survive on. LOL Another thing - while this does not work for everyone, most people here watch at least one hour of television every night. In conjunction with the above ...... No diet required - just a slight reduction in caloric intake and serious reduction in sugars (most here would be very surprised at what foods contain sugar) and drink lots of water - stop drinking any kind of fruit juice asap - more sugar in it than in Coke. This is where your dietician advice will come in handy. Real handy! Eat your big meal in the morning, your next sized meal at lunch and your small meal at night. If you are unable to sit down to a meal, then pack a lunch. Make it a smart lunch - not full of crap and processed foods. Do not play with this because excuses are easy to come up with - it requires effort. And stop! And actually eat it - on time - no matter where you are. Period! Allow yourself to cheat once or twice a week - those days become highlights but do not make it a habit. Then - Set up a BowFlex Tread Climber in front of that television and watch that favourite program while walking for one hour every night. Do not miss! Most, if privately honest with themselves can find that amount of time in the evening to do this. Put that machine in a central part of the house - not hidden away in some boring place that you begin to hate less than 5 minutes after you step on it. Use it! Watch your favourite TV program while doing it. If you have heart probs / blood pressure trouble start slow and only after being cleared by the doc. Weigh yourself at the start of your three month program. Do not step on the scales again for at least a month. If you do not miss one night and are religious about the above, you will lose weight. A lot of weight. But only if you really want to. For most, not all - this simple weight loss and diet adjustments will reduce and in many cases remove medicinal requirements. Trust me it works. Start with your Doc - then the dietician and then YOU! Only you can make those necessary life style changes - it is easy to find an excuse - and never forget - it is usually easy to find some pall bearers as well. The choices are yours and yours alone. All it takes is discipline. A small investment in your health for a huge return on your life. Best to all Bez__ [/QUOTE]
