[QUOTE="Yorksman, post: 382119, member: 55568"] Congratulations. That rate of loss will slow down at some point but don't let that discourage you. As you get lighter, you are simply moving less weight around and so doing less work. You can help speed up your metabolism somewhat by some exercise and to continue with weight loss usually a combination of some sort of diet and exercise is necessary. The exercise has an added benefit for diabetics, it helps the insulin sensitivity too. Be careful with white bread, white rice, mashed potatoes etc. All the easy to digest starches. I go for brown rice, wholemeal bread, small new potatoes and of course, am careful with portion sizes. I've sort of stuck and it now takes me 2 weeks to lose 1Kg. Last month it was 1Kg per week. However, I am happy with 1Kg per two weeks, if it lasts, if not I will either have to increase my exercise or be stricter with my diet, or both. Main thing is not to get disheartened. Fish, whether tinned or fresh, seems to work very well, drops the BG to low levels and helps the diet in a big way. [/QUOTE]
