[QUOTE="SWUSA_, post: 1291387, member: 337910"] I hit a small plateau last week and added a little more exercise to my routine after reading a Danish study. The study found that walking 3 times a day just 10 minutes after a meal reduced blood sugar spikes a lot more than one 30 minute walk per day. They found that walking after the evening meal which was the most carb rich meal for most participants in this study seemed to have the most benefit. I found the article on the home page of this site. I adapted this to myself and added a 10 to 15 minute walk to my day after my noon meal which is usually the most carb laden meal for me. I made this change for the effect on blood sugar but found that it also produced a greater weight loss 2.5 lbs this week vs. 1 lb the week before. Also I am making a great effort to sleep regularly. The regular sleep is supposed to help with keeping weight down by effecting metabolism. I do not know the specific mechanism. Are you on any medication for diabetes or blood pressure? Do you have dietary needs with those medications? Dairy and egg protein are regulars in my diet and always have been. I do not plan to change that at this time. Actually measuring portion size of higher calorie items helps me as well as I find that I am over generous in estimating the size of a portion. I do not measure leafy greens or most raw vegetables, just fats and meats as they are generally the higher calorie portion of my diet. Use what works for you and motivates you to eat healthy and exercise.:) [/QUOTE]
