[QUOTE="Ross.Walker, post: 1731508, member: 239418"] was meant to answer [USER=356876]@hooha[/USER] Hi I started by doing or not doing the following No flour products No spuds, except the odd chip No sugar No rice, except 25 grams of wild rice on the odd occasion No booze for 200+ days No squash/juice etc Tea - yes Coffee - hell yes Water, lots, if your hungry drink first Real lemon in sparking water with crushed ice. lots Salad every day Greek yogurt with seeds every morning (you need fibre) Good quality meat and lots of fish Falafel Persian food is fantastic Asian/indian food too home cooked is the key. Beetroot Butternut sqash Carrots broccoli well all veg and tonnes of them Occasional 85% chocolate Count calories and more importantly food content. raise or drop calories depending on your activities if you're hungry and you have eaten your calories for the day, tough, hunger didn't kill me Drink more water Walk even if it's only for 10 minutes that day, its worth it Push yourself to walk further, cycle, swim, climb, gym if you have to, outdoor classes. I was not the fastest when I started, I didn't care to impress other people. I wanted my HBA1c down. Gardening, awesome workout. I tested lots, I worked out what a meal would do and do it consistently. I Can now plan what to eat with some knowledge of how far it will take me, When I got the 34 result I experimented with foods and booze, went up to 39 when I broke my leg, back to 38. sounds simple, but I know why I am doing this, I want a long life with my family. When you have "why", "how" becomes easier yes I still want to revert on days to the old ways, we all do at times, some days you win, some you don't do so well. don't let a day become a week become a month. No I am not a hyperlowcarbnut. I make sure I fuel my body for what I need to do, I just don't do it with processed foods. Does this help? [/QUOTE]
