and unfortunately just diet alone may not do it.
in fact it won't do it.
maybe temporarily it'll reduce your weight, but you'll put it back on later. almost 90% of individuals who lose weight thought dieting put it back on (and more often then not more then before) with in 5 years.
like my ex, she was 144lbs when we split. i guess she got lazy and now has to be well over 220lbs.
It is not about losing weight, it is about depleting the fat stores in an internal organ. I know a lot of type 2's that are skinny as a bean pole but that doesn't mean they are healthy. It isn't a diet to control diabetes it is a possible cure by trimming the fat from the organ not the BMI.
Diet is more important than exercise for controlling type 2 diabetes. Exercise helps because your body burns more carbohydrates when it is being used (this is why you can't just cut carbs out completely). However, it is a whole lot easier to just lower your intake of carbohydrates in the first place.
Oneslowz28 is following the diabetic diet with 5 to 6 small meals a day. The smaller portions and fewer carbs will make a person loose some weight. I lost 60 pounds in about 4 or 5 months after being diagnosed with type 2. After all that weight was lost, I can control mine with diet alone.
Keeping that weight off and staying in control with just diet requires a lifestyle change. I am certain that our friend who started this thread can do it.
Sorry to hear this man I know really nothing about diabetes, but I read a little about it. I am very sorry to hear this
I have a lengthy reply to post but dont feel like typing it right now. I am 7 hours into a 12 hour BBQ roast and am about as tired as one can get.
