Guest guest Posted April 21, 1999 Report Share Posted April 21, 1999 , thank you for your words. I think I miss the exercise part of it. Actually I hasn't done any kind of exercise since I was diagnosed besides walking for about 15 minutes each day. Just diet. So maybe I should start controlling that body, and not that body controlling me. And you're right, when we succeed, it feels great and we get more energy.

I read in the ADA book that T-2's should limit their exercise to 40 minutes...so I do 38 at 4.3 mph...which is as fast as I can go for that long. I work up a sweat (while watching my trusty tv) but if I stop exercising I'd stop losing. Maybe you can increase the time and the speed a bit.??

Guest guest Posted April 21, 1999 Report Share Posted April 21, 1999 Today, when I came home from school, I thought of starting to walk from my home to the railroad and back again, when I return, instead of taking the bus. It will give me appx one hours of walking each day and may help me loose some more weight. Thank you for the tips. I have thought alot about this. Re: weight > > > > <<<, thank you for your words.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 1999 Report Share Posted April 21, 1999 Hi Gail, The response by Susie, which follows this, was excellent. I'm certain that a minimum of 10 lbs has been water, as I had severe leg swelling prior to restricting my carbs. In fact, it was this swelling and pain associated with it that led me to the ER in Jan. My GP noticed a few weeks later that each time I went to the ER my BGs were over 200. I'm not quite sure why the ER DRs never mentioned it to me! Anyway, here's the scoop.... I am a big guy, 6'2 " tall, weight 280 to start with. Severely water-logged. I have been keeping my carbs at a minuscule 5 grams a day during this phase of my diet. Waahhhhh! I really miss my bread! I still eat at Mcs all the time, but just pull the muffin off my Egg McMuffins or the bread off my Grilled Chicken Sandwich. I really hate doing that, but I'd rather waste it than waist it! I mention my size because the larger a person is, the higher the number of calories burned " just maintaining. " I have eaten till I was full at each meal. I had a few " rough " days for the first 4-5 days. But once I got past that point, I haven't been nearly as hungry as I was when I was chowing down the carbs like crazy. I used to eat a Grilled Chicken sandwich, a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, a Super-Sized fry and still be starving. It was ridiculous! I was always watching every one else eat, hoping they'd leave a few fries for me!!! (my own family of course - not the strangers in McD's!) I'm sure my caloric intake is down, because I'm not eating the carbs. I am eating more protein and my diet already had plenty of fat in it! Didn't need to *add* anymore! Drinking at least a gallon of water a day - this is not a joke - I thought DMII made me thirsty! HAH! Not like being in ketosis! Have been walking for 40 minutes every other night. Have been doing that for about a month now. So... whether it is water or fat, I needed to lose both. I'm in it for the long haul so I'll take it as it comes. Tomorrow is my wife's Birthday, so I plan to *break* my diet for a piece of b'day cake. Such is life ) !

I too don't understand why we have the ADA spending (our dues) money to " educate the public about diabetes " when the people who treat us and test us either don't know or don't realize we are diabetic! It still bowls me over how little diabetics are told about their own disease. That extra fluid was just dead weight for your heart to drag around, and it squeezes on your internal organs, including your heart. It sounds like you have a good understanding of what is going on, and that you have the situation well in hand. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 1999 Report Share Posted April 22, 1999 Dear Merry, I know that you are doing wonderfully and please, keep up the good work. I myself being a professional dieter know that there is a letdown a few weeks into the weight loss program. At first, it is all new and exciting but about 6 weeks down the road, you feel sort of deprived of all the goodies that you once could eat. Now, for you and me and the other members of this list, there is no choice and we must follow an eating program. I am trying to get used to it also and am having ups and downs with eating and exercise. Sometimes I just don't feel like it and want to have my old comfort foods back. Unfortunately, that is not an option for us anymore and can have devastating results. Keep your chin up. We are all in the same boat and have to lean on each other for support. We can do it and get those numbers down. You are doing the right thing and do not let it get to you.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 1999 Report Share Posted April 22, 1999 Suse, Sometimes we just type carbo in the messageboard. Be sure you're in the reader recipe exchange message board. All of the Healthy Exchanges cookbooks list the diabetic exchanges and the nutritional information. Look for " Cooking Healthy With A Man In Mind " or " Cooking Healthy With the Kids In Mind " among others. There is also " Desert Every Night " which also list all the nutritional information. Look at the message boards on the website. Below is just one of the recipes in the book. I like them all. From " Cooking Healthy With a Man in Mind " , page 187 Cabbage Patch Meat Loaf 1 pound ground 90% lean turkey or beef 6 Tablespoons dried fine bread crumbs 1 1/2 cups purchased coleslaw mix 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper 1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic 2/3 cup Heinz Light Harvest or Healthy Choice ketchup Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5 inch loaf pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine meat, bread crumbs, coleslaw mix, green pepper, garlic, and 1/3 cup ketchup. mx well using hands. Pat mixture into prepaired loaf pan. Bake 45 minutes. Spread remaining 1/3 cup ketchup over top and continue baking 15 minutes. Place loaf pan on a wire rack and let set for 5 minutes.
