I find medics’ diets tasteless and boring. I am diabetic and hypertensive and need to lose tons… well several pounds. Any ideas to help me, please?
Apart from the hypertension and diabetes I also have arthritic knees which make any exercise very painful. Walking is painful!
When I got hungry it seemed like my body did not give me the polite tap tap tap on the shoulder "uh could you get something to eat in an hour or two?" It was like a body slam "Feed me now, #@$#$%$#" I was always tired and always wanted sweets.
It sounds like a stupid faddy diet but the high protien low carb stuff straightened all that out. Drs say it can lower cholestorol and blood pressure and I know it straightens out blood sugar. Check everything you eat for carb count, start at less than 20 carbs per day and add 5 a week until you quit losing and back up a little.
My new diet is something like this, I ate a sugar free candy when I woke up because I was a little munchie. Later on I’ll eat 3-4 eggs and some sausage. If I feel like it I might make pancakes (lo-carb) instead or to go with it.
I’m rarely hungry at lunch time but if I am I get a low carb burger at hardeee’s or just take the bun off of something from somewhere else. Dinner tonight will be BBQ because it’s too hot to cook inside. I’ve got some cole slaw already made up and I’ll get some broccoli out of the garden and microwave it with some cheese sauce. Tonight me and my BF will most likely eat lo-carb chocolate peanut butter ice cream or nachos made with pork rinds.
I used to be so worn out I would cry on the way home from work. Now I think about going for a swim at the river. I’ve lost some weight, BF has lost 60 lbs. I feel so much better now that I would keep on with this way of eating even if I knew I would never lose another pound. Contact me if you need more detail and /or look up Atkins diet
