[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2352006, member: 506169"] The biggest effect on reducing our Blood Glucose for most in these forums (my belief - no statistical study) is from cutting carbohydrates rather than from extra exercise or from weight loss. Having a Blood Glucose meter and testing before and after each meal you can see what that meal has done to your blood sugars - the effect is immediate, long before any weight is lost. The great side effects of eating Low Carb (rather than calorie counting) are:- 1. No hunger, so the will-power required is less than with a conventional calorie restricted diet. Can eat almost unlimited amounts of low carb food (like I did over Xmas)! 2. The resultant reduction in the Insulin produced by the body mean that weight tends to drop (though not for everybody). 3. High blood pressure tends to drop to normal. 4. Symptoms of inflammatory diseases tend to reduce (because insulin is inflammatory). [/QUOTE]
