Hang in there. Remember...
I second Betty's reply to you. You MUST eat at least five meals a day (I eat every 2 and 1/2 hours or so.) in order to KEEP your insulin from spiking.
Remember, Dr. Schwarzbein specializes in helping diabetics. Be sure to feed your body, and since you are overweight (like most of us), you should get moving. Whatever you can handle at first. I have a Callanetics tape, which is deep muscle stretching... it is nearly impossible to do it like she does on the tape at first, but don't give up... you have to train your body to respond to the new
information you're putting in. Try this, or just start walking until you are uncomfortable.
Do not believe the "You don't have to hurt to get fit" people. It is literally, "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" ~ I had to learn this the hard way; after trying every fad diet invented, I discovered that you simply HAVE to do it the old fashioned way.
Take heart. Look at my stats. I started at 197 lbs. on May 27, and I am 177 now. This is with the TOM coming in a couple of days, so it's likely to be even more. My results aren't typical... I have been in the gym first thing in the morning, six days a week from my start date. I do upper body, cardio, lower body, cardio, upper, cardio, lower... you get the idea.
Give it a chance, but work with it. We are here if you need us. Take care.
