Hey all! I just joined the forums, found this place while looking for other information. Let's get down to it!
I do fairly well on the exercising portion, at work I'm constantly walking. At previous jobs when I was allowed to wear a pedometer, I pushed nearly 10k - 15k per day, 4 - 5 days a week. I also exercise 30 minutes a day on my bicycle trainer (I'll be increasing the time by 15 minutes every 2 weeks, including the pressure). However, I suck at the dietary portion of being healthy.
I'm a Type-2 Diabetic, I'm fairly careful with my sugars, they range from 120s - 180s, depending on the day. On special occasions, I sometimes push it to 250s. I know, bad bad bad. But hey, birthdays, marriages, and friends returning home from 4+ years in the military deserve a few beers & cake. My doctor suggested I check out Alli, and have urged me to give it a try. I plan on trying it, however, I wanted to get the diet down first. I have a myriad of health problems, High-Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Chronic Sinus problems, as you can imagine, it's pretty taxing on the body.
Here's what my plan is, hoping you guys can help me balance it out.
Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs with a pinch of salt/pepper.
Greek Yogurt (Low Sugar)
Banana
Strawberries/Blueberries
or
Strawberry smoothie
Protein Powder
Spinach leaves (+stem)
Small scoop of frozen orange juice concentrate (no pulp)
V8 Fruit Juice (4oz or so)
Rest is water filled to the top of the strawberries to help defrost.
Lunch
Pretty much anything from a PBJ sandwich, an array of nuts, water/diet Pepsi, or Fast Food. Sometimes I'll crock pot a Southern Chicken n Gravy mix with brown rice, add carrots, peas, corn, and green beans. As a side will be cauliflower and broccoli.
Dinner
I generally skip this meal due to working nights. At working I'm constantly snacking on food.
My plans for Lunch are;
Small Salad
1/8th cup of cheese (or less)
baby corn
Dressing (Vinegarette)
Garbanzo beans
Red Kidney Beans
Unsalted Sunflower Seeds
Sliced Chicken, unseasoned.
Chunks of Ham if I don't have Chicken.
Drinks: Diet Pepsi, Water, or Tea.
Tea: Citrus & Oolong or Wild Raspberry Hibiscus (Breakfast/Lunch Drink), and dinner is Chamomile & lavender Herbal tea. (I add a small amount of stevia Pyure sugar to it)
Hoping y'all can help me get this done.
