Diabetes Weight Loss Natural Treatment With Diabetes Diet
In March 2005, the American Diabetes Association announced
the findings of the comprehensive Diabetes Prevention Program.
The DPP was conducted at over 25 medical centers nationwide and
involved thousands of participants who volunteered to have their
habits monitored and to follow dietary and exercise recommendations.
So they followed a diabetes diet with exercise.
All participants had been diagnosed with 'pre-diabetes', a
condition where the blood sugar levels are higher than normal,
but not yet in diabetic ranges. Untreated, more than half of
those people diagnosed with pre-diabetes will develop full-blown
type 2 diabetes within a decade.
For the study, the participants were divided into two groups.
One half were given dietary recommendations. The other half got
the same dietary recommendations, plus the recommendation to
exercise at least 30 minutes daily, five times a week.
The results? Those who included daily exercise in their routines
and followed the diet recommendations cut their risk of developing
by 58%. The reason? Those who made the recommended changes in
their lifestyle lost 'a moderate amount' of weight. Diabetes
weight loss natural treatment does not have to be hard. Just
change your diet a bit and exercise.
Even more important, researchers found something that they
didn't expect. Those in the treatment group had a substantial
chance of reducing their blood sugar level to normal, something
that had been assumed was impossible.
Apparently being on a correct diabetes diet, along with
exercise, not only prevents a worsening of diabetes, it reverses
the damage that obesity causes to the cells that produce insulin.
How much does it take to have an effect on the progression of
diabetes? The key is in the definition of 'a moderate weight
loss' - 5-7% of your body weight. In other words, depending on
your boy weight, a loss of as little as 7-10 pounds can make
a difference!
The recommendations suggested by the American Diabetes Society
for a healthy diet to prevent diabetes is an ideal diet for steady,
gradual weight loss - the kind of weight loss that stays lost.
The diet includes the following suggested daily diet allowances:
* Grain - 6-11 servings per day (Bread, Cereal, Rice, Pasta)
(Personally, I suggest less of the grain group for my clients)
* Vegetables - 3-5 servings per day
* Fruits - 2-4 servings per day
* Milk - 2-3 servings per day
* Meat - 4-6 ounces per day (Meat, eggs, fish, dried beans, nuts
and peanut butter)
* Fats, Sweets, Alcohol - Occasional treats
(Recommendations for portions are based on gender and activity
level. For instance, a sedentary 40 year old woman needs fewer
portions than an active 25-year-old woman.)
Look familiar? It's also the dietary recommendation for the Heart
Healthy diet from the American Heart Association, and the recommendations
from the USDA's new MyPyramid.
The results just keep coming in, but the message is clear:
losing weight, maintaining a healthy weight and eating a balanced
diet can help prevent most major health problems. Why wait till
you're diagnosed as severe? Start a diabetes weight loss natural
treatment today, with a healthy diabetes diet and exercise -
and it may never happen.
