A Brief Background on Diabetes
You may currently be managing your diabetes, or you may have been warned by your physician that being overweight could lead to adult onset diabetes (typically Diabetes Type 2). Experts advise that even a 5-7% loss of overall body weight, combined with exercise, could reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes by more than half. By achieving the recommended weight loss rate of 1-2 pounds per week, in a time span of only 14 weeks, a person weighing 200 pounds could achieve the weight loss of 7%.
The Ideal Chocolate Milk Diet™ (“ICMD”) Tips for Diabetics and Weight Loss
To use ICMD for weight loss:
- Start each day with ICMD.
- Eat snacks that are both high in protein and contain some carbohydrates. ICMD in skim milk is a great choice. It is high in protein, and has some carbohydrates as well.
- Snacks that fill you up are often high in fat – candy bars, potato chips, fries. ICMD satisfies without the fat and cholesterol.
- Crowd out the hunger. Consuming ICMD at regular intervals helps you crowd out the hunger with high quality protein.
