Lose Weight - The diet and exercise changes should set you up for losing weight. As you exercise and watch your diet look for the inches to come off before the weight as exercising will build muscle. We all know muscle weighs more than fat so the scale will not show your progress at first. Be sure to weigh at the same time as drinking and eating can cause weight to fluctuate by as much as 5 pounds. I usually weigh in the morning before breakfast.

Our parents may not have been good trainers either. Self education is the key to preventing diabetes. Review our What Causes Diabetes page and reduce your risk factors. Part of getting educated is also learning who to trust. The old saying to, follow the money always applies. For instance the U.S.D.A. has a food pyramid. 
It is commonly known that the food pyramid is influenced by lobbyists from the agricultural, dairy, and food manufacturing sectors. Some of these lobbyist spend millions to get their sectors favorably treated. Always ask yourself, what does this person have to gain?
