I had an appointment with my diabetic nurse today and my HbA1c is a nice healthy 6.2
She wasn’t too fussed about my weight loss stalling, she said “you’ve got years to lose the weight if needed” – I’m eating healthily and exercising and my blood pressure is 110/70. BMI is 48 and waist 145cm. I’m still taking flaxseed oil every day as well as probiotic capsules, and my interval training is starting to kick in. But she said “listen to your body, and don’t over-exercise”
Hi all
As the new site nears completion I’m getting back into my blog. I just had another blood test today for my hBa1c so it will be interesting to see how that goes. I’ve hit a plateau weight-wise although my diet has improved. I’ve been down with the flu a bit which has hit my gym schedule.
I’ve just read a very inspirational book by a guy called Jon Gabriel called “The Gabriel Method” and I highly recommend it – he lost a huge amount of weight without doing any “dieting” as he believes diets put stress on your body and puts your body into “famine mode” where it just stores fat. He used positive visualisation and the addition of healthy foods and supplements to his eating in order to lose weight. Check out the site – www.gabrielmethod.com I’ve asked my nutritionist to read the book so I can get her backing to try his process out.
By the way I’m taking 2 tablespoons of Flaxseed Oil and a probiotic every morning to help with Omega 3 and digestion.
