POP is HORRIBLE for dieting. Reqular pop has over 20 grams of sugar in 1 can and just as many grams of carbohydrates! In order to loose weight you have to cut back sugar and carbs. Diet soda doesn't have sugar or carbs but it has something in it that makes your appetite increase! Just say NO to pop! You will be glad you did!
I recently heard of the Atkins diet,This is a low carb diet, you eat alot of meats and veggies but no fruits for the first 2 weeks, I was wondering if I lose my desired weight but increase my carbs (good carbs such as apples and fruits, and oats) will I gain it all back if I keep exercising, plus I'm a teen so I heard we have a fast matabilism..
I'm a semi pro mma fighter in the middle of a weight cut, I have to loose 12 kilos in 6 weeks... EAAASSY. YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT.
I'm using this app to keep track of my intake and its great.
First things , use a calorie calculator to estimate how many calories you need to maintain your current weight. Now, if you want to lose a pound a week, you’ll want to cut that total by 500 calories per day to hit that goal (3,500 calories equals a pound of fat)

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to eat less carbs but it's hard for me because I am very thin. Cutting carbs causes me to lose weight. It's so confusing because my Dr. said my HA1c was normal but from everything I've read, 5.6 really isn't that great. My Dad got diabetes in his 40's. I am 54 and am afraid my glucose level is creeping up.
make sure the food choices you make are healthy choices. lots of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and good carbs (whole wheat, etc). remember, as i always tell myself and anyone who asks me... it's the calories that count! what goes in must be less than what comes out. you don't want to eat more than what you're burning, so if you're trying to lose weight while not exercising, you must make sure you make up for the calorie deficit by eating less. good luck!
Sorry, about my miscalculation........ you're right, though, at 5'1, you are still not overweight.
You can't go by everything you read on the internet. If you are eating a good, healthy diet, you shouldn't even have to count calories, but 130-140 grams of carbs might be too much, depending on the type of carbs you're eating.
4 months back my weight was Kg 77. So I have decided to maintain the weight loss, for that I have controlled my diet. I had consumed only fruits and juices at night. And I had taken 'Bragg apple cider vinegar. And consumed plenty of water. Now my weight is Kg 66. I thought that this weight loss was due to my diet and frequent urination was due to plenty of water consumption. Last week I went to hospital and I have checked my health condition.
t progressed so far that it becomes almost impossible to separate from Type I. What type do you have? And by the way, when you say no carbs, this is a frequent misinterpretation by people who don't know much about nutrition. The most important foods to eat are carbs, as this category includes all the antioxidant and nutrient dense veggies. Certain carbs that metabolize quickly into sugar should be avoided, but the healthiest diets will be heavy on carbs.
This should bring up a variety of calculators that will take into account your height, weight, age, and activity level, then estimate how many calories a day you need to eat in order to maintain your weight. You can then subtract 500 calories from that.
I've found this to be the most effective and easiest to maintain of all the diets out there. The weight loss is slow, but it's steady and stays off. Plus, it's so much easier to maintain this than a crash diet.
It depends, but if you figure out how much weight to sustain your weight! Minus 500 from that!
Top three tips to be able to maintain any weight lose. 1) eat every 3-4 hrs. 2) don't eat more than 200-350 calories per meal. 3) keep any meals to 40% carbs 40% protein and only 10% fat.
You could up the protein n reduce the carbs too. Also if you exercise a lot you may need more calories. Keep your blood sugars regular to avoid binges. You should be hungry at each meal interval.
You can increase your walking to one hour. Also walk like you mean it, do not stroll. Most important is to control and manage your diabetes. Then limit your carbohydrate food intake for weight loss. Use Google to search and understand the difference between 'simple carbs and complex carbs'. Go to the Atkins web site for low carb information and recipes. Click on programs to get started. http://atkins.com/Homepage.
To do this one MUST adhere to lifestyle changes; proper nutrition, maintain proper body weight, and perform daily 30 minute physical exercise. Ignore one defeats the others.
Do yourself a favor, go to your local pharmacy/drug store/WalMart and purchase a home glucose [blood sugar] test meter. Read the instructions carefully. Post back to this thread if you have further questions or concerns. Good luck.
carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing sugar more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. As asok mentioned, watch the carbs. Carbs are wreak havoc to a t2 diabetics glucose level.
2. Avoid eating foods made with white flour; pasta, white breads, crackers and so on. These turn quickly into sugar after eating.
3. Milk contains sugar. Eat fruit and drink fruit juices with other foods to slow the absorption of fructose [fruit sugar].
