Hi I am a type one diabetic and would like to lose weight before an up coming wedding. What is the best way to do this as I find it hard to lose weight quickly. Thanks.
Don't worry, you're not alone. Most people find it hard to lose weight (even slowly). Remember, if it were that easy, we'd all be thin and have washboard abs.
Why don't you start out by telling us a bit about what currently isn't working for you?
What do your diet look like?
What kinds of exercise do you do and how often?
Do you have a target body weight and a time frame you need to reach it by?
Thanks Steve. . Wow u have done well. I will continue thing the carbs, maybe I'm not doing enough. Must get serious about it as June will be here before I turn around ..lol .. any advise is welcome ..Hi I'm steve I'm 44 and i've been T1 since dec 2015 and since being diagnosed I've lost 2.5 stone! I have a manual job which keeps me very active throughout the day and I walk my dog on weekends when I'm home (I work away Mon - Fri) I have always been a fussy eater so changing my diet was pretty daunting. Breakfast is 4 weetabix then a snack of berries and nuts before bait. Bait is Porridge then again I snack on berries and nuts. Dinner is soup with seeded wholemeal bread then snack before tea. Tea I pretty much eat what I want but always carb count and counter with Novorapid. If I need a snack between tea and bed I don't have anything over 10-15g of carbs. I inject Lantus at 8pm every night. I think being active and watching your carb intake may help it works for me, I'm no expert at all but I hope this helps you achieve or try to achieve your goal. Good luck.x
Steve seems to have had some great results, and I'm not discounting them in any way. However, if your goal is to avoid carbohydrates, just about everything he mentioned is best to avoid. Us men are very lucky in that our daily calorie requirements are much higher than women. Consequently, it's much easier for us to lose weight.Thanks Steve. . Wow u have done well.
