The focus of my blog is going to be more focussed on my health over the next little while. Last year, I tipped the scales at 286 pounds. And shortly thereafter I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I had gestational diabetes which can lead to full blown T2; if I was aware of that I am not sure it would have changed my eating habits.
My Dr told me about some research she had heard that Dr Jason Fung was doing around Intermittent Fasting as well as Dr Michael Mosley. Well, I went right out and found Michael Mosley’s website, inhaled everything he said there and bought his book The 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet. https://thebloodsugardiet.com/
It is a plan to eat approx 800 calories per day,following a low carb moderate fat Mediterranean approach to eating. If you follow it, you will lose 10% of your body weight and it will reverse your T2.
I did it and I lost the 10%. Then I started incorporating sugar and carbs back into my eating...then I went nuts over Christmas and in a few months gained a bunch if the weight back.
So now I am back on track. I started back on the plan last week Wed. at 266.8lbs. I have modified it a bit. I mentioned Dr Jason Fung earlier. I am incorporating intermittent fasting into my approach.
As of today, I am down 6.8lbs. I feel full, have more energy, sleep better and have less pain in my joints. Th craziest thing is that my resting heart rate has dropped from 74 beats per minute to 66.
I gave seen from past attempts at losing weight I get so focussed on the hear and now if dieting that I forget to focus on the after part. I will be exploring here how I will maintain my weightloss and renewed health once I hit my goals.
Wow, you have far more self-discipline than I to eat so little every day! Glad to hear that you are finding success with this.
ReplyDeleteI also had gestational diabetes, and my blood work shows that I am have been "pre-diabetic" since about a year after my sons were born in 2012. Between that, my own excess weight, and my family history (paternal grandmother had T2 diabetes, and so does my father, though his is diet-controlled), I figure it's only a matter of time before I am diagnosed with T2 diabetes myself.
We tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use donor eggs. I knew we have to try herbal made medicine. I was terrified. I didn't know how to go about it and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended me to Dr Itua herbal medicine in Western African. I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country and I was afraid with shame I must say I thought it was a little bit...wild? Anyway she convinced me to at least check it out. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr Itua has reasonable prices. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses Natural Herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. I and My Husband give a try and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple. The doctors and staff were so confident and hopeful they projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr Itua and Lori My Dear Friend. Don’t be afraid and just do it!
