Diabetes Symptom

I have put off writing a motivation article because of two
reasons: 1) There is a glut of articles out there already; 2) My
philosophy is so simple, I didn’t think it justified an entire
article. I was amazed at the incredible number of articles on
the net and in the news that dealt with motivation to diet and
exercise. Everybody and her cat have written about ways to trick
yourself into exercising or changing your frame of mind, or
making the exercise or diet more enjoyable. I can’t compete with
that sheer volume, but what I can do is make my Best Weight Loss
Program for Men complete by including my tip for motivation to
exercise and diet.

Defy Gravity

Gravity is pulling you into the grave. The heavier you are, the
more pull Death has on you. So try to become Weightless, like
me. I usually phrase my philosophy in a positive way, saying,
“If you lose weight, you will feel better and live longer and be
able to evolve, defy gravity!” But that doesn’t work for most
people. So I have to yell: “Lose weight or die!” Every day you
have to ask yourself if you’re going to contribute to your own
death by overeating and being lazy. Or are you going to do
something to prevent that? I can hear you saying it, and you’re
right: Nobody lives forever. But most men wait until they’ve
been diagnosed with cancer or diabetes to make a positive change
in their lifestyle. When you’re staring at your doctor who tells
you that you may only have 1 year left to live unless you eat
better and start exercising… then you decide that life is
worth extending. I’m terrified of that. You should be too. Why
not make sure that meeting never happens?

If you’ve read my Obesity Statistics article, then you already
know the risks. Every day experts are finding more ways that
being overweight is a hazard to your life…

Here’s the list:

Diabetes (type 2, the preventable kind)

Heart Disease

Several Cancers, including:

bladder

lung

oral cavity

pancreas

stomach

small intestine

larynx

lymphoma

and every man’s favourite: prostate

GERD: gastro-esophogeal reflux disease (chronic heartburn and
acid regurgitation)

The recent discovery of a link to Alzheimer’s disease

It Is Easy to Stay on a Diet

Unless you actually have an Impulse Control Disorder (talk to a
psychiatrist), you CAN stay on a diet. The second you have a
cookie in hand, just think of it as poison. It may not kill you
right away, but it eventually will. Diet or die!

Here’s a diet secret that I normally would never mention: the
diet products you can buy from my online store are pricey. If
you need another form of motivation to stay on a diet, consider
paying for it. If you don’t use the program, you’re wasting the
money you spent to buy it. Use the products, so that you know it
was money well spent. If you’re just buying your groceries like
normal, you might not eat that salad because it’s cheap to throw
it away. If I gave you my products for $1, you might give up on
them in a few days just as easily, and you’d never find out how
great they are if you use them consistently for one month.

Too Fat to Run?

It Is Easier to Die

I will not deny that it is easier to die: to lay around, eat
chips and wait for an early death while watching TV. When you
exercise, they call it “working out” because it is work! Staying
on a diet takes some self-discipline, I grant you that as well.
If you have a death-wish, by all means, take the easy path. But
do not try to pretend that having those extra 50 pounds is okay.
You’re just lying to yourself.

It makes me so angry to see overweight people who aren’t doing
anything about it. I am Weightless, and I still exercise and
keep a diet. If I have the motivation just to avoid gaining
weight, how much more reason does the obese man have? Is it
harder? No, it should be easier, because he is the one in real
danger. I am not. I could put on 10 pounds, and my mother would
think I look healthier. But I run. When I do intervals, I
pretend that there’s huge dog chasing me who will kill me if I
can’t outrun it. And I run for my life!

So, that is all the motivation you should need: Diet or Die.
Exercise or Die. Run for Your Life!

Before the discovery of insulin in 1921, everyone with type 1
diabetes died within a few years after diagnosis. Although
insulin is not considered a cure, its discovery was the first
major breakthrough in diabetes treatment. Today, healthy eating,
physical activity, and insulin via injection or an insulin pump
are the basic therapies for type 1 diabetes. The amount of
insulin must be balanced with food intake and daily activities.
Blood glucose levels must be closely monitored through frequent
blood glucose checking. Healthy eating, physical activity, and
blood glucose testing are the basic management tools for type 2
diabetes. In addition, many people with type 2 diabetes require
oral medication and insulin to control their blood glucose
levels. People with diabetes must take responsibility for their
day-to-day care. Much of the daily care involves keeping blood
glucose levels from going too low or too high. When blood
glucose levels drop too low from certain diabetes medicines–a
condition known as hypoglycemia–a person can become nervous,
shaky, and confused. Judgment can be impaired. If blood glucose
falls too low, a person can faint. Treatment of type 1 diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes must be treated with insulin shots. This
involves injecting insulin under the skin — in the fat — for
it to get absorbed into the blood stream where it can then
access all the cells of the body which require it. Insulin
cannot be taken as a pill because the juices in the stomach
would destroy the insulin before it could work. Lack of insulin
production by the pancreas makes type 1 diabetes particularly
difficult to control. Treatment requires a strict regimen that
typically includes a carefully calculated diet, planned physical
activity, home blood glucose testing several times a day, and
multiple daily insulin injections. Treatment of type 2 diabetes:
Treatment typically includes diet control, exercise, home blood
glucose testing, and, in some cases, oral medication and/or
insulin. Approximately 40 percent of people with type 2 diabetes
require insulin injections.

Question: What’s small, weighs about an ounce, and comes in
dozens of different models? Answer: a Pedometer.

Would you have guessed it had I mentioned this item can help you
lose weight, decrease your chance of diseases like hypertension,
diabetes, and heart disease, and improve your overall fitness?
Using a pedometer to count your steps is one of the cheapest and
easiest ways available to improve your health and fitness.

The tremendous variety of pedometers available today make it
difficult for people who want the health benefits of a pedometer
to decide which one is right for them. There are flip-down cases
versus open-face units. There are those that just count steps
versus those that count steps, distance, calories and time. Some
pedometers come with lights, radios, alarms, step filters,
scanning, pacing, auto start/stop, memory, voice, and on and on.

The most important thing to decide is what features you need.
The basics are steps, distance, calories, and time. If you’re
doing a 10,000 step program or something similar, you will need
to know your steps. They are the foundation for all other
calculations within the pedometer.

If you are interested in knowing the distance you cover in your
walking or running, get a pedometer with a distance calculation
(in miles or kilometers, some have both). Make sure you can set
your stride length or your distance measurements will be
inaccurate. When walking or running, make sure you are actually
taking steps the length you entered into the pedometer.

A pedometer that measures calories burned is helpful in giving
you an idea of how much energy you have expended. If you are
counting calories, this can be a good way to see if you’ve
earned that extra doughnut or not. Again, make sure you can
enter your weight to get the most accurate calculation possible.

The time function comes in a variety of forms. Some pedometers
will show time of day, while some have a stopwatch or countdown
timer. There are units that will start and stop only when there
is movement, so you don’t have to start and stop a stopwatch
manually.

After features, another factor will be the physical properties
of the pedometer itself. What sort of case configuration will
work best for you? A flip-down case means the reset, and other,
buttons are protected, and you flip down the case to see your
steps. An open-faced pedometer is just that, open, and you have
to look upside-down at your numbers. Not bad when you are
checking steps, but it can be cumbersome if you are looking at a
lot of data. Some pedometers have a holster-style case where you
can pull the unit off your hip and look at it.

Consider where the pedometer is manufactured. There is general
agreement that the best units are made in Japan, with Taiwan a
close second. Pedometers made in China are generally believed to
be less accurate than Japanese or Taiwanese models.

Price is always a consideration as well. The law of “you get
what you pay for” works to a certain point, but is not the only
guideline you should follow. I’ve heard of a few people who
thought their free McDonald’s or Kellogg’s pedometers worked
well, while most of the feedback I’ve heard was negative. I’ve
also seen very expensive pedometers that just weren’t worth the
price.

It pays to shop around and find the pedometer that will work
best for you. Consider the features, the structure, and the
country of origin, then factor in the price. You will end up
with a pedometer that will give you motivation to keep moving
throughout your life.
