, thought I would forward what worked for me in the beginning. I am not a Dr. by any means but I followed this religiously. Have lost a total of 32 pounds from my highest weight. I get my A1C tested the end of this month. I am excited.
This was the break down of what the nutritionist in the hospital gave me. It was my first information and I stuck to it like it was the Bible for over a month. I started doing my research and was able to add foods and exchange foods.... I weighed 190, had a 6.8 A1C, my liver enzymes were off, my sodium was low, cholesterol was high, triglycerides high. After 1 month I had my liver enzymes down and sodium up. My blood pressure was on it's way down. I had given up salt when my blood pressure was up. That was self induced on the sodium.
