TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

Hi Guys,

I wanted to ask everyone about what to eat when very active. I jog 6k, 4 times a week and then walk 6k each of the other 3 days. Since being diagnosed as type 2 I have cut out 90% of beer and a lot of the high carb foods but I think I'm overdoing it as I've lost 10lbs in the 2 months since being diagnosed.

I get frustrated because most of the food labels I read all have high carbs... What would you suggest for an active guy like myself who wants to gain that 10lbs back and get back to 160lbs, 150lbs is getting a bit to light for my liking...

Thanks in advance for your help... Paul

Protein is right, as Gerri says. Lots of meat, lots of nuts, lots of eggs and low fat milk and cheese. Also lots of green veggies.

Eat, eat, eat.
