I'm 70lbs overweight. I was 80lbs overweight before I began treatment for diabetes. The weight dropped off exponentially for ten days and has now normalised.
As part of the treatment for my Diabetes,I'm following a healthy diet of mainly roughage, salad ingredients, meat cooked from raw and carbs (replacing my favourite - bread - with diet wheat crackers). This has maintained the 10lbs weightloss nicely, despite, if I'm brutally honest, having one naughty thing a day. OK that's not strictly true...I am actually enjoying my new regime and don't stray outside the rules too often.
Naturally, I have to regulate my sugar intake, but this is reasonably easy, as too much sugar has made me feel drowsy and generally unwell for months, maybe years. As I was also diagnosed with hypertension, I'm staying away from salt too. Again, this is a happiness, as any hint of salt in my diet previous to diagnosis gave me palpitations.
The next step is to get into the pool and gym and start toning up the muscle I'm rediscovering.
