Medical Question for Doctors -Nurses-Diet- about health?

Question

Being real sick with Shingles and having lots of pain for some time-now better-stressed out before that-now some added stress which will be handled. By testing my sugar i know it has come down from over 600 goin to hit the bottom below 30 to the highest about 300(doing some beter now) I almost died and got in trouble a few other times. When I go to the Doctor weight is mentioned in the past (not that i sit and eat junk all the time)so how do i lose weight-no longer eating much bread even oatmeal is high in calories. If i eat only mostly raw vegetables and apples or other fruit would this be O.K. as i have trouble losing even a pound. Even when i could exercise more i could not lose. I need to be 120 lbs.Is there any hope that i can make it happen? Diabetics is inherited and i can not help being sick -interested in control so life can be better. Please do not be rude. Thanks for any helpful advise.

Answer 1

Guess you have a lot going on. The best way to lose weight, which I understand to be you current concern at this point in time, is to eat a lot of fiber, which means that, yes you are going to eat a lot of vegetables,oatmeal and fruits. You need however to have a balance diet so you'll need definately to eat of the other food groups. Ideally you diet experts advise should be 70% natural.
Yes, if you notice most vegetarians are slim.
You also need not to eat between meals, remember your food takes 4-6 hours to digest. The digestion process should be ocmpleted before you seek to add another load of food in.If you do feel hungry drink water. Drink lots of water, water helps to suppress the appetite, Research on the benifits of grapefruit and weight control. For your blood sugar control I recommend eating more complex carbohydrate instead of refine foods. So you can eat your bread, just have it in wheat instead of white bread..Continue excercising, and get sufficeint rest.
ANd remember trust in GOD, for with CHRIST all things are possible - even losing weight.

By the way I am not yet a doctor, but aspiring to be.

Answer 2

Yeah, it's a bummer! I say some families hand down money, others bad genetics. I've got them too, history of diabetes, high chol, heart attacks, and high B/P. So, my doc told me to watch myself also a year ago. I've managed to loose around 60 lbs. Hard work and not alot of fun, but I do think I look better! I didn't 'diet' per say. I just quit all 'empty' carbs. I cut my portion sizes down too, cause I realized I liked a full plate. I eat alot of almonds, they fill me up and are healthy for you-as long as they are the natrural kind. I excercise every day off. So, no potatoes, cookies, or other junk food. Have had only 1 fast food burger in the last year, no white bread - occasionally I'll have that really thin wheat bread toasted. Nothing 'white' basically. I think those 2 docs on Ohpra follow the same way. They have a book' "You, on a diet." I think that's the name of it. Anyway, good luck. I think feeling deprived from food for me is better than feeling deprived from ill affects of poor health. Good luck
