That's fantastic result, Osakarose! AHA recommended 20g of daily sugar intake for women and 40g for men. I also have a friend who has halved her triglyceride level and LDL since she started paleo/low-sugar diet. I think the trick is to increase one's fat intake to take the place of carbohydrates and limit protein to 20-25% of the daily calorie intake. Don't starve, OK???
Harvard researchers put pre-obese people (they had just lost 10-15 percent of their body weight) on three different diets—a low-fat, high-carb diet; a low-glycemic diet with fewer carbs; and a high-protein, high-fat, Atkins-style diet. Each participant ate the same number of calories on each diet, yet at the end of the study, they found that people burned the most calories at rest while on the Atkins diet.
t let yourself drink your sugar - fruit juice is filled with sug, soda is of course, Gatorade, basically any drink that tastes sweet is high in sug), you need to monitor your carb intake - starchy foods like potatoes, corn, and beans are high - carb and grains are high carb so they need to be limited. Fruit is also high carb, though it's better for you than sugar or grains. Your main diet should consist of high protien, high fat, and vegetables.
I talked with a dietician after finding out that I had insulin resistance last week. She said to limit my carb intake to 180g per day. So instead of counting calories I count carbs (I also keep track of calories though). I worked out 3 of my 6 days for p90x and still lost 6lbs last week by doing this. So excited because I did p90x for 30days without skipping any days and I was staying in my calorie range, and I only lost 2lbs and I gained a body fat percentage. I was not watching my carbs.
The same things that work for non-diabetics trying to lose weight work for diabetics. Reduce caloric intake and increase exercise. Many of us believe in low carb eating and the lower carb you eat you will also lose weight. Be sure if you do this to reduce your insulin intake as it will also lower your blood sugar. Obviously lowering fat intake will also help lose weight and you will have to eat a lot more vegies, salads, and more lean meat (skinless chicken or fish) to compensate.
When you cut carbs you still energy so you get this from increasing your fat intake and making sure you have enough protein. Enough protein can be at least 100g for a woman and probably about 120g for a man. You can use a diet tracker to work out which foods have how much carbs, protein, and fats.
Other helpful natural means to control include exercise and normalizing weight.
Hope this helps.
Protien is super important to build a healthy placrnta. Meat, eggs (eggs are like, the perfect food!), nuts, cheese are all super good for you to eat. A simple meal of a fried hamburger patty with cheese lettuce tomato etc is easy and healthy. Whatever you can do to incorporate a good serving of protien into every meal, and of course veggies as previously suggested, you'll be doing well. Watch your sugar and carb intake and don't eat TOO much fruit.
I got to lose Wight ,be for it kills me . I have always had bad health , and trouble just walking. Now with a bad back and other health problems from that. How do you lose over 100 lb. When you trouble just trying to walk.
My numbers were okay yesterday, but today they are very high. I have been well within the range of carb/sugar intake the dietician recommended. I have also exercised faithfully each day. I followed the no fruit/dairy at breakfast and dinner snack recommendation, as well. What else can I do to lower these numbers?
if you cut down on the fat whilst still eating a balanced diet you should notice a marked improvement in ur weightloss. if ur fond of biscuits for e.g. then make it a plain tea or digestive and no more than 2 at a time. use lean meat and trim off excess if there is any. dry fry stuff or grill/oven bake more and always drink loads of water, if u dnt like plain water add a little sugar free diluting juice to it.
