Anything about easy, gradual weight loss?

[KarKingJack]

I've just recently been diagnosed with diabetes (type one, not the too-much-sugar kind), and I've put on a bit of weight since, 'cos it turns out the diet you have to adopt actually included more food (and fat!) than my original diet!

I had started loosing weight a few years ago, 'cos man, I used to be fat. I just have a bit of a tummy, now, but I'd still like to feel like I've completed the effort. Thing is, I can't exercise properly because I'm still really shaky as blood sugars go - doing liberal amounts of exercise could be dangerous until I'm really used to it, but that could be next year you know?

So I was wondering, is there any way I can loose weight without exercising excessively, or changing my diet?

sorry I don't think there's something... I've been struggling with some weight for a while and the only thing that works for me is when I work my a$$ off exercising... I was thinking to say that you could try light exercise for prolonged amount of time - like walking - instead of 30 min - do 90 but you mentioned that may not be an option...

there are fruits that someone kick your metabolism up (grapefruit , etc) - but not as much as exercise for sure... if you find something yourself about this post!

Grapefruit would send me into a hyperglycemia man! They're like eating out a pick 'n' mix! Hahaha. And as well as that, I walk about 3-4 hours a day regardless - to and from college, out with Samantha when she's walking the dog, or to the shops and back. That's one of the reasons I get so low all the time, but it doesn't seem to help, otherwise I'd be walking to Belfast and back, haha! But thanks anyway!

SwimmingSwimmingSwimming! its good non stress cardio so it should help you lose the bit of tummy weight you still have and tone you up a little too, without stressing your body too much.

Also try yoga, but I guess you should check your blood sugar levels right before doing any of these and of course have someone supervise you (especially fo rthe swimming!)

For the record, you look very slim in your photo.

...Cheers for your great answer to my heroin question by the way ;)

[KarKingJack]

Thats a brilliant idea! I can't afford the leisure centre mind you, but I'm sure I'll find a way to try and swim. And yoga sounds good, actually. I've heard its similar to taking salvia, LOL!!!! My vocal/theory tutor does it so I could ask her for a few pointers. And yeah, I have to check my levels before going to the shops, so I'm assuming so! Haha.

And thanks! I am slim, really, but I see myself as fatter than I am, you know? I think that'd go away once I loose my tummy, though, you know?

[KarKingJack]

And your very welcome, haha. I was ecstatic to see other heroin enthusiast posting away, actually.

....eww, Salvia! I did that and tripped out in the worst way (hmm, may ask a questionabout that...)

[KarKingJack]

Really? I had an amazing time. I did nearly walk onto the road, following 'The Tree', mind you, but it was amazing otherwise. I think you just have to be prepared for it to blow your everloving miiind, and terrify you. Afterall, Salvia doesn't have good or bad trips, just unique trips. You'd get some amazing answers from a question like that, since it essentially transforms the darker recesses of your mind into a self-percieved double reality.

And ofcourse 'Kills your children', oo-err

Just exercise a little, mainly with strength exercises like pushups and squats you can do at home so you're safe. Just doing a few of each every day won't hurt you but will tone you up.

[KarKingJack]

I'v decided to do situps every morning, just after breakfast, which should help, because they only count as 'minor excersize' which the breakfast will account for, but I've heard they don't really help you loose weight, just as you say, tone up. Thanks though!
