ARE you diabetic and want to loose weight but you do not know how to get started?

Well, start off by setting a realistic weight loss plan, for example, plan to loose half to one kilogramme a month. If you keep at it, you are likely to reach your ideal weight without gaining it back.

* Write down your goal and keep it where you can be reminded of it each day.

* Share your goal with someone who will encourage your progress, such as a friend or a relative.

* Set aside a particular time for exercise every day, join a gym, or a form a neighbourhood exercise group, or simply walk daily.

* Start at a comfortable level; gradually increase to the next level.

* Commit to small daily actions, such as packing a healthy lunch rather than eating from vendors.

* Avoid a quick fix approach to weight loss. Instead commit to long-term small increments. Over a year’s period, or even six months you will certainly see the results.
