If you have been hoping to lose weight, let’s begin the process. There’s no time to lose… you can’t wait around for the results of clinical trials advising which eating plans will work best. You have received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and your blood sugar levels need to be reduced as well as your weight. The truth is this… any eating plan where you are taking in fewer calories or kilojoules than you have been taking in for some time now, will help you lose weight. It won’t matter whether it is low or high in carbohydrates, fats or protein.

And as well as starting to lose weight, you will find your blood sugar levels starting to be lower. All this in a short period of two to three weeks. Isn’t that encouraging?

How do you find a weight loss program that suits your needs, not just for now but an eating style that you will enjoy and want to stick with? And what do you do if you find your chosen eating plan not working for you? You don’t consider yourself a failure, you consider the plan a failure and find another one.

Some of the reasons popular diets work in the beginning are due to:

• many food restrictions
• few food choices
• not enough flexibility
• repetitive boring food

These same reasons are also why these diets fail!

When looking at various diets, keep in mind many of these diets were not put together by people trained in nutrition and maybe their advice is not safe or effective. As you look at different eating plans, remember these points:

• be wary of any diets that promise rapid, easy weight loss… if it sound too good to be true it probably is
• question diets that limit food selections and forbid food groups
• be careful of diets that promote substitution with food products they are selling

A healthy eating plan for a person with or without type 2 diabetes should contain a balance of the three main nutrients in the world of foods:

• carbohydrates
• protein
• fats

Each type plays an important role in keeping your body going every day. A balanced meal plan provides you with food choices from each of these three types of nutrients.

Learning about food can seem complicated, especially if you have never had to follow a special eating plan before. Meeting with a registered dietitian will give you more knowledge about making proper food choices… you will find you are able to eat a wide variety of foods that will help you to lose weight, lower your blood sugar levels and help you control your type 2 diabetes.
