7.04 Weight: Keeping It Under Control Chart Directions There are many ways to lose weight. Some diet plans are healthy but some aren’t. They’re books, articles and websites teaching you or giving you advice on how to start or things you should do doing your exercise plan and diet plan as well.

“Diabetes can be tackled in different ways- by insulin and diet” (Rudy, 1999, page 19) Diet, when someone had diabetes it is best for their health to cut right down on the unhealthy foods, and stick to the health foods, this is due to the effectiveness of the medication you are on. If you eat junk food and do not eat healthy then your medication will not be as effective as it could be. Sticking to regular mealtimes is also another thing that could help you feel better as it will keep your “blood glucose levels under control”. (Rudy, 1999, page 20) There are 2 types of carbohydrates, 1 that is good for controlling diabetes and 1 that is really bad, these are starchy and sugary. Sugary- this is the 1 that people with diabetes should stay clear of, this is due to the “glucose getting into your bloodstream fast, this could cause a sudden rise in blood glucose levels”.
Often just knowing that we are thirsty as opposed to hungry will lead to a better choice being made in selecting drink over food. As cognitive function deteriorates in the dementia patient these decisions are obviously effected more so. In the extreme a dementia patient will not realise that they are dehydrated or that they are hungry and will go without food and drink for longer periods then perhaps is healthy unless they are prompted by their carers to receive nutrition This factor must also be balanced against the fact that older, sentient, people often need less food and drink then younger more active people and a good carer will also be conscious of this Dementia can effect the choices that a person makes on the type of food they want to eat. For example we have a lady called Joyce who prefers foods (and drinks) that are white. (She also prefers her chair to be white so you can see the level of dementia being dealt with here).

Lowering the limit of sodium or salt consumption can only benefit us. I am curious to see how much the risk of high blood pressure, kidney damage, and water retention would decrease after the reducution of sodium per day. Decreasing the limit to 1500mg per day is a great start, but I think at some point the limit can be more personalized to each person.

Water helps you lose weight! Water has zero calories and the full feeling it gives you helps you lose weight. Consuming water throughout the day ensures that you will eat less and continue to want to drink water.

Although you shouldn’t think you’ll lose weight just by drinking water and going to the bathroom, hydrated dieters lose more weight through feeling full.
Everything is physical from washing dishes, to holding an umbrella under the rain. Physical training benefits you in various ways; you'll keep excess body fat off, you'll have more energy, strength and stamina, and you're more likely to live a long and healthy life. Why keep excess body fat off? If you try and lose weight simply by dieting, you'll lose some muscle along with any body fat you lose and you'll slow down your metabolism. If your weight loss program includes exercise, you'll lose body fat without losing muscle and without slowing down your metabolism.
Managing these stresses better should improve your ability to focus on succeeding a healthier lifestyle. Once you are ready to begin your weight loss plan, set a date to start and then start. To continue, set a realistic goal for example, Its best to aim for losing one to two pounds a week, although initially you might lose more quickly than that if you make significant changes. To lose one to two pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more then you consume each day, through a low fat calorie diet and regular exercising like jogging, walking and running. When you are setting goals make sure they are smart: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time limited.
