Hi all,
This is only my third post on here and I am at a loss on how to start looking after myself. I am 43 years old and have had type 1 diabeties for 30 years, my blood control has never been good and now am suffering with problems with my right eye. I am going on a lovely holiday with my husband - 4 months today and even though I know I wont lose all the weight I have put on (6 stone) I would like to be considerably lighter.
So......
Carb counting it seems is the answer, my questions are
1. How low should I go carb in order to lose weight?
2. Does low carb mean eatting higher fat, eg cheese, full fat yogurts etc as in the Atkins
3. With the lack of fruit I will be eating surley I will end up constipated?
4. Eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch, meat and veg for tea ? Surely this becomes very boring after a while?
Exercising -
For someone who sits in front of a PC from 0715 - 1700 each day and has no sportscentre within travelling distance,(we live in a village in Norfolk) what on earth would be a good exercise to burn that fat off and tone the tummy up?
Last question, do any of you live in East Anglia, I would love to know which hospital you are under and what you feel to the care you receive ? I am under the QE2 in Kings Lynn and the Diabetic Nurses always make me feel I am wasting their time.....
Thanks for reading and hopfully replying.
