Getting fit?

[Englishman2010]

At fourteen and a half stone - which I reckon isn't too bad for someone who's 6ft tall - I guess I'll be needing to lose a bit of weight ... and drastically modify my eating habits after an initial appointment with a Diabetic Nurse on December 1.

I'm 6 foot too Arthur and weighed 14 1/2 stone about 10 years ago. After changing my diet I've been between 11 and 11 1/2 stone for almost 10 years.

Good luck with your diet and with controlling your diabetes

... Wow! That's marvellous, Ian ... what's your secret?

Lots of fresh vegetables and salad, nuts, real meat and fish (not processed), no white flour, potatoes or refined sugar. That means sweets, cakes, biscuits, crisps, chips are off limits. TBH I really enjoy eating proper food and don't miss any of the above nasties - although I do allow myself the odd treat every now and then.

I very rarely drink in the Uk, if I do, it's only ever red wine or light beer (much less sugar in both)
