| Well there has been a lot of debate around here about carbs and loosing weight. I can quote you books and your bmi etc but I think what is more important is lowering your total daily dose as we all know the effects of insulin. The reasons I suggest lowering your dose is because it's harder to give higher doses i.e. increased margin of error and you shouldn't feed insulin taking only enough for the carbs you consume. You have several ways you can do this one is eating less carbs say around 50-200 its up to you how low/healthy you want to be, in my opinion I don't think it's very healthy to eat 15gs of carbs a day but neither is eating 400gs of carbs. Make sure you adjust your dose when/if you begin to low carb to avoid lows.
Your other option is exercise which I personally think is the best as it increases your insulin sensitivity which ultimately reduces your TDD (total daily dose). Find an exercise you enjoy even if it's just walking the dog every day, you could then build up to twice a day and keep pushing yourself at your own pace. There is no rush slow and steady wins the race.
Doing both in my opinion is really worth while however whatever you do make sure it's a life choice and something you can stick to. Yoyo dieting won't help you in the long run and neither will playing a sport for only a day. The key to all of this is being motivated and turning them into habits that way it's not a question of shall I workout today or shall I test today it's just something you do like taking the dog for a walk. Sounds hard? I thought the same but it all gets easier once you get into the thick of it. Keep asking questions and be positive. |
