As you may or if you are new to the podcast aware that I have got type 2 diabetes and for the past few 2 years I have been off the medication.  I said in previous episodes that I it was about a year but I looked it up the other day and to my surprise it has been 4 years now nearly 5 which shocked me.

Anyway now being off the tablets for 2 years it has been a struggle with different diets, I stuck with slimming world for the longest but I gave that up about 4 weeks ago now. I am going it alone, well so to speak.

Not only has it been hard but every easy to slip back into old habits but on Tuesday 6th may 2014 I had a grate idea I started to look at my diet and start to design my own diet to suit my type 2 diabetes.  I am going to up it in to affect and see how it goes. I am going to create recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snacks.
I will keep you posted on how these are going.

I found myself very surprised this week as I said no Mcdonalds on Wednesday I was had just got up and I just did not fence it way so ever. I did how ever have a frappe chino but I thought that was good. Specking of food I am did well as of mid week now I am very ware of what can happen I need to change asap to get my eating back under control. How ever toward the end of the week it is becoming more and more difficult to eat well but now I have become very motivated to get going to sort my life and get back to where I was. I owe all this to the Rosetta stone software not because of the software its self but to the scene of proudness of learning my wife's language.

Diabetes and diet tip 4:
Eat regularly and keep a food diary If you’re overweight, you may be encouraged to note that you only have to lose 7% of your body weight to cut your risk of diabetes in half. And you don’t have to obsessively count calories or starve yourself to do it.
When it comes to successful weight loss, research shows that the two most helpful strategies involve following a regular eating schedule and recording what you eat.
Eat at regularly set times Your body is better able to regulate blood sugar levels—and your weight—when you maintain a regular meal schedule. Aim for moderate and consistent portion sizes for each meal or snack.

*  Don’t skip breakfast. Start your day off with a good breakfast. Eating breakfast every day will help you have energy as well as steady blood sugar levels.

*   Eat regular small meals—up to 6 per day. People tend to eat larger portions when they are overly hungry, so eating regularly will help you keep your portions in check.

* Keep calorie intake the same. Regulating the amount of calories you eat on a day-to-day basis has an impact on the regularity of your blood sugar levels. Try to eat roughly the same amount of calories every day, rather than overeating one day or at one meal, and then skimping on the next.

Keep a food diary Research shows that people who keep a food diary are more likely to lose weight and keep it off. In fact, a recent study found that people who kept a food diary lost twice as much weight as those who didn’t.
Why does writing down what you eat and drink help you drop pounds? For one, it helps you identify problem areas—such as your afternoon snack or your morning latte—where you’re getting a lot more calories than you realized. It also increases your awareness of what, why, and how much you’re eating, which helps you cut back on mindless snacking and emotional eating.
