Nathan was started on a diet for Seizure control...Ketogenic Diet. He had his last grand mal seizure the 3 day on the diet. His muscle and drop seizures ended 2 months later completely, but we noticed they were less harsh with each one he had til they just stopped." - excerpt from KetoGenic Diet for Seizures.
I have just read a book on fasting and using a ketogenic diet for weight loss and diabetes reversal. I am trying it now and am finding it very easy to implement. There are various fasts you can do. I am sure you can find one or two ways to work for you. You should get this book! I have tried all of the diets in my 63 yrs of life and none have given lasting results. I feel like this way is going to be much easier to do than those I have tried in the past.

Cardio Exercise is one of the most successful ways of achieving quick weight loss, at least in the beginning. Here are a few cardio exercises. You can try any one out of them.
Walking
Jogging
Cycling
Rowing
Jumping Rope
Cross Trainers
Steppers
Upper Body Bikes
While you can begin with cardio, you need to progress onto strength training later to build lean muscle.
Honestly it's dangerous on your health to loose weight too quickly. Extreme dieting can lead to malnutrition and rapid weight loss can cause problems like gallstones. I know the Biggest Looser makes it all seem so easy to loose fast, but they are constantly watched by drs monitoring everything they do. It's recommended to keep weight loss between 1-2 lbs a week.
May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.
Some people, including me find that a ketogenic diet (focusing on very low carb, moderate protein, and unprocessed natural fats) is helpful for blood sugar.
Aside from exercise, which you are already doing, weight loss, if you are overweight can help in lowering blood sugars.
Other than this, you may wish to consult with your dr in case any change in medications can also assist your progress.
Hope this helps.
just checked what a ketogenic diet is, this type of diet is extremely unhealthy and damages livers of any person hbver or not
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet:
high fat damages the liver
adequate-protein is ok but from vegetable or little white meat, no red meat, no diaries
low-carbohydrate leads nowhere, it is processed and refined carbohydrates to increase blood glucose which makes damage, so the problems is refined cereals not not carbohydrates

What I found as the most effective way to do this is via a ketogenic diet. There is a great book called the Art and Science of Nutritional Ketosis, by Dr Phinney and Dr Volek. There are a lot of free youtube videos by both doctors Phinney and Volek who describe how to lose fat, while protecting and building physical and athletic strength. Really good stuff.
So, through proper nutrition, you can lose the fat and maintain/build muscle.
Hope this helps. Good luck!!
2 in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows the low carb high fat diet excels for weight loss and heart health. The low fat diet saw more lean muscle lost than body fat. Good tip: avoid low fat everything. :)
"People who avoid carbohydrates and eat more fat, even saturated fat, lose more body fat and have fewer cardiovascular risks than people who follow the low-fat diet that health authorities have favored for decades, a major new study shows.
I’ve also been on a ketogenic diet since July and and this week I’ve broken my diet by snacking on a few popsicles and some crackers. I’m worried this weight is going to stick around and I’m very concerned. Help!
Ps. Sorry if this is TMI, but I haven’t really pooped much this week. I assumed it was because I haven’t really been eating, but could it be a contributing factor?
How much weight? And why rapidly? You probably know that losing weight quickly usually means you gain it back later because it means you have to do something fairly extreme rather than make lasting changes to your diet and how much you exercise. Slow weight loss stays off, quick usually doesn't.

Low carb, adequate protein, fat for energy balance - otherwise known as ketogenic of low carb diet. In this diet carbs are typically restricted to 30g or less per day. This diet also includes abundant non-starchy, non-sweet vegetables and plant foods.
2. Very low fat, adequate protein, high carb. This is the plant based and even vegan diet that some are promoting. This diet does not have processed foods.
There is no way to safely lose very much weight... But you can start your weight loss program now and continue it after the wedding, so when something else comes up, you'll be ready for it.
Start by giving up sodas, sweets and processed foods... That's the best thing you can do for yourself... Also take a 30 minute walk every day...
I personally eat a Ketogenic diet of 20g or less net carbs a day. Most of my diet comes from meat, cheese and non-starchy vegetables. The high levels of fat in my diet help keep me satiated and promotes weight loss. I also tend to avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible. I eat gluten free and grain free.
