I, too, need to become healthier, but having diabetes pretty well rules out any kind of fasting. I'm trying to eat more fruits & veg, good carbs (e.g. beans) but not too many, lean meats, and some soy products. The main problem is that temptation is everywhere! I wonder what people from poor countries think when they come to Canada or the US and there's opportunities to eat junk EVERYWHERE!
My main focus right now is fitness. I'm starting very slowly, with the focus not necessarily on losing a lot of weight (too stressful, which causes overeating!) but on become more fit so I can learn how to scuba dive. I'm taking swimming lessons 2x a week, and 1 aquafit. At home, I put on music and dance for about 20 minutes while holding 2-lb weights.
I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do (remember I'm 47 and out-of-shape, but no heart problems), or how do I know when it's time to increase the time and/or intensity of anything I do?
