Set a reasonable weight-loss goal, such as losing 1 pound a week. Aim for a long-term goal of losing 5 to 7 percent of your total body weight.

Make Wise Food Choices Most of the Time

What you eat has a big impact on your health. By making wise food choices, you can help control your body weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol.

Take a hard look at the serving sizes of the foods you eat. Reduce serving sizes of main courses (such as meat), desserts, and foods high in fat. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables.

Limit your fat intake to about 25 percent of your total calories. For example, if your food choices add up to about 2,000 calories a day, try to eat no more than 56 grams of fat. Your doctor or a dietitian can help you figure out how much fat to have. You can check food labels for fat content too.

You may also wish to reduce the number of calories you have each day. People in the DPP lifestyle modification group lowered their daily calorie total by an average of about 450 calories. Your doctor or dietitian can help you with a meal plan that emphasizes weight loss.

Keep a food and exercise log. Write down what you eat, how much you exerciseanything that helps keep you on track.

When you meet your goal, reward yourself with a nonfood item or activity, like watching a movie.

Be Physically Active Every Day

Regular exercise tackles several risk factors at once. It helps you lose weight, keeps your cholesterol and blood pressure under control, and helps your body use insulin. People in the DPP who were physically active for 30 minutes a day 5 days a week reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes. Many chose brisk walking for exercise.

Reach and Maintain a Reasonable Body Weight

Your weight affects your health in many ways. Being overweight can keep your body from making and using insulin properly. It can also cause high blood pressure. The DPP showed that losing even a few pounds can help reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes because it helps your body use insulin more effectively. In the DPP, people who lost between 5 and 7 percent of their body weight significantly reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, losing only 10 pounds could make a difference.

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body weight relative to height. You can use BMI to see whether you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. Use the body mass index table to find your BMI.

Find your height in the left-hand column.

Move across in the same row to the number closest to your weight.

The number at the top of that column is your BMI. Check the word above your BMI to see whether you are normal weight, overweight, or obese.

How can type 2 diabetes be prevented

Although people with diabetes can prevent or delay complications by keeping blood glucose levels close to normal, preventing or delaying the development of type 2 diabetes in the first place is even better. The results of a major federally funded study, the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), show how to do so.

This study of 3,234 people at high risk for diabetes showed that moderate diet and exercise resulting in a 5- to 7-percent weight loss can delay and possibly prevent type 2 diabetes.

Study participants were overweight and had higher than normal levels of blood glucose, a condition called pre-diabetes (impaired glucose tolerance). Both pre-diabetes and obesity are strong risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Because of the high risk among some minority groups, about half of the DPP participants were African American, American Indian, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or Hispanic American/Latino.

The DPP tested two approaches to preventing diabetes: a healthy eating and exercise program (lifestyle changes), and the diabetes drug metformin. People in the lifestyle modification group exercised about 30 minutes a day 5 days a week (usually by walking) and lowered their intake of fat and calories. Those who took the diabetes drug metformin received standard information on exercise and diet. A third group received only standard information on exercise and diet.

The results showed that people in the lifestyle modification group reduced their risk of getting type 2 diabetes by 58 percent. Average weight loss in the first year of the study was 15 pounds. Lifestyle modification was even more effective in those 60 and older. They reduced their risk by 71 percent. People receiving metformin reduced their risk by 31 percent.

Pyruvate is a carbohydrate naturally found in red apples, cheeses, and red wine. At the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Ronald T. Stanko, MD researched the effects of pyruvate intake in several studies. The recent study conducted on 14 obese women (average weight 256 pounds) Those taking pyruvate lost 37pct. more weight (13 versus 9.5 pounds) and 48pct. more fat (8.8 versus 5.9 pounds) than the control group. These women and a control group were on a 1,000-calorie diet and consumed an equal amount of carbohydrates. In separate clinical studies, subjects taking pyruvate gained back 55pct. less weight after resuming a normal diet than those that did not take pyruvate. According to Dr. Stanko, pyruvate exists in virtually all cells, easily and automatically entering them. In studies conducted by a leading U.S. medical school research center subjects taking pyruvate were able to increase performance from 20-50pct. and they experienced less fatigue.

ChromeMate
ChromeMate (generically called chromium nicotinate, chromium polynicotinate or niacin-bound chromium) is a patented oxygen-coordinated niacin-bound chromium complex that plays an important role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production, and promotion of healthy body weight.* Protected by three U.S. Patents, four international patents and other world-wide patents pending, ChromeMate is the only niacin-bound chromium supplement with proven biological activity.

Citrimax
Known as hydroxycitric acid (HCA for short), or Citrimax, this popular supplement has become a standard ingredient in many popular weight loss products. Derived from the rind of the Indian Garcinia Cambogia fruit, original animal studies seemed to indicate that HCA/Citrimax displayed an amazing ability to block the conversion of carbohydrates into fat by inhibiting an enzyme called ATP-Citrate Lyase. It also appeared to suppress appetite as well.

Carnitine is the most important nutrient for naturally supporting the weight loss process, according to Robert Crayhon, author of The Carnitine Miracle. Crayhon is one of the best and most respected nutritional educators in the country, and his book is a wealth of information, not just on carnitine, but on diet in general. According to Crayhon, whose book is meticulously documented with more than 60 published references, carnitine is useful for obesity, fatigue, athletic performance, general energy and well-being. To get the weight-loss benefits of carnitine, you must take a meaningful dosage. Some manufacturers stick it in their fat burning formulas so that they can say their product contains carnitine, but many of these commercial fat burners contain only about 50 mg of carnitine -- a meaningless amount for promoting weight loss and energy. Carnitine advocates often recommend dosages anywhere from 1,000 mg to 4,000mg (1 to 4 grams) or even higher, in some rare cases. For best absorption, carnitine should be taken on an empty stomach -- half an hour before a meal, right before a workout or a couple of hours after eating. According to Crayhon and other experts in the field, it works best with a diet moderately low in carbohydrates (50 percent or less of calories consumed). Why Because high levels of carbs promote high levels of insulin, which in turn inhibits carnitine activity. Carnitine also works synergistically with a diet rich in omega-3 fats, such as those in fish and flax. That carnitine is only used for people with heart problems is simply not true. But carnitine is a very heart-friendly nutrient. Since the heart depends on energy from fats, and because carnitine makes fats available for energy, carnitine is very helpful to the heart. One study demonstrated that carnitine can protect the heart from damage when a heart attack or spasm cuts off the oxygen supply. That may be the source of the rumor that it is only used for heart patients. Acetyl-L-carnitine, on the other hand, is best described as a kind of supercarnitine. According to Dr. Richard Firshein, author of the excellent book The Nutraceutical Revolution, acetyl-L-carnitine (abbreviated as ACL promotes efficient energy use in the brain. It does that by increasing the brains supply of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter crucial for memory function. Indeed, ACL is often used as a kind of brain food -- it appears to have a positive effect on memory and mood and seems to slow down the aging of brain cells and the associated deterioration of a lot of mental functions. Acetyl-L-carnitine, however, is very expensive. Both nutrients are valuable and can certainly be used together, but if general good health, energy and weight loss are your primary concern, L-carnitine will do just fine.
