[QUOTE="AGC_68, post: 2467666, member: 551237"] Hi, What you eat and what you do one day has a big impact on your FBG the next. So, I thought I'd start this thread to see if there are others out there that enjoy incorporating physical activity as well as diet in the approach to dealing with T2. So that we can post what we are eating, our physical activities and their impact on BG. Perhaps we can keep each other motivated, swap food (recipes, healthy restaurant choices) and exercise/activity ideas, ask each other questions about what we found helped the most in controlling BG levels? I'll start the ball rolling :) .. Let me know what you did, and any hints and tips for eating/doing the right things, keeping motivated etc. Or if you have questions about what you could do if you are not currently very active, ask and see what people have to say. [B]FBG:[/B] 5.3 this morning (no meds) [B]Yesterdays food:[/B] B: A few raspberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, cup of Greek yoghurt, couple of walnuts crushed & sprinkled on top L: Vietnamese chicken salad at a restaurant (LOTS of fresh non-starchy veg, shredded skinless chicken, light dressing), diet coke D: Singapore style fried cauliflower rice, with broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, coriander, 2 chicken thighs diced, stir fried everything with a couple of cloves of garlic, chopped chillies, and some curry powder .. nice and quick. Huge volume of food and very filling but not very high in calories due to non starchy veg. I find cauliflower rice a real blessing. Really good way of filling up with non starchy and healthy veg in my meals, keeping the carb count low, nutrients and roughage high. [B]Yesterdays physical activity:[/B] [LIST] [*]Walking [/LIST] [INDENT]~ 10,000 steps spread through the day(just doing housework and walking around town with my daughter Christmas shopping)[/INDENT] [LIST] [*]Workout in the evening [/LIST] [INDENT][INDENT]Warmup: Shadow kick boxing for 10 mins Body weight resistance training: 50 chin ups 100 regular press ups 100 pike press ups 100 Hindu squats 100 crunches Cool down: Stretching for 10 minutes[/INDENT][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
