Fat, 58 and TIRED

I recently lost 30kgs on a high protein diet (very boring). I had emergency back surgery 1 month later and have put 12kgs right back on. I am borderline diabetic (104 fasting). I can excercise by walking and do a mile a day and that's pushing it! I need help. I have 3 other women my age with the same issues. It's epedemic! HELP

Prevent weight re-gain
by: Steve

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Here is what I suggest doing in order to drop the weight again and keep it off. Please keep in mind that I'm not a doctor and you must check with them first before making any changes to your nutrition, exercise or supplementation habits.

Nutrition:
- Unfortunately, for people who have some degree of insulin resistance, low carb, high protein diets work! However, it doesn't have to be boring if you become very selective about your sources of carbohydrate.

For example, it is summer here in Perth and we've had a bit of a heat wave this month. As a result, I have felt like only having salad with some protein, so Annie and I have been making some amazing salads that taste absolutely delicious.

Just make sure you include in the salad small portions of olives (different flavours), sun-dried tomatoes, Danish fetta, nuts and seeds, and all the standard salad ingredients of course. To find out more, read the low carb, high protein diet in the 'articles section' and the 'chicken salad recipes article.

Exercise:
- If you can only walk a mile every day that is fine. The most important point is that you do it every day. Then, as you lose weight and it becomes easier perhaps try increasing the distance you do.

Also, try performing your walk first thing in the morning before breakfast on an empty stomach and perhaps after taking a thermogenic if you don't have high blood pressure.

- I also suggest performing some resistance exercise. If you can't join a gym that's fine. you do some exercises at home, see the 'Workout Routines For Women' article. It includes the 'Tone at Home' exercises.

Supplements:
- I strongly suggest taking the following supplements regularly:

- glucose disposal agents (with your main meals)
- fish oils
- multivitamin/ mineral supplement
- thermogenic (perhaps)
- antioxidants

If you have any questions on any of the areas I've mentioned here, please let me know.

I wish you all the very best with achieving your goal!

Regards,

Steve.
