Do you have diabetes?

Drew Carey had Type-2 diabetes. He lost 70 lbs this year. He was sick and tired of seeing himself on the TV and being FAT. A lot of people have commented he looked better with that extra layer on him but is he far healthier now than he was and will likely live a longer life too.

“I was sick of being fat on the camera. Really, I just got sick of it. Once I started losing weight, again, like once I started dropping a couple pant sizes, then it was easy ‘cause once you see the results, then you don’t wanna stop,” Carey told People. “It sucks being fat... I was diabetic with Type-2 diabetes.”

He does a lot of cardio, about 45 minutes a day and eats a very low carb diet. It worked for him. So whether you are into Beachbody products or doing your own thing, get out there and get moving.

Kathy Smith’s Project:YOU! Type 2

My Mom is a Diabetic and has other physical ailments as well, Rheumatoid Arthritis being the other major condition. Until I became an Independent Beachbody Coach I did not look at the other exercise programs outside of my regimen. I was not aware of this program until yesterday when I was in a webinar with my coach. I don’t know if she would be able to do this, but I’ll talk it over with her. With her joint issues it may not work for her.

So, what is it?

Kathy Smith’s Project:YOU! Type 2 is "the first and only all-in-one fitness, nutrition and support program supported by the American Diabetes Association and developed in conjunction with the American Diabetes Association, doctors, and certified diabetes educators. It’s a healthy approach to help fight type 2 diabetes."

Kathy Smith has created a no nonsense effective workout program with a easy-to-use meal plan. So if you have diabetes, or pre-diabetes, and are looking for a solution to help that includes weight loss and physical activity, this may be your workout.

Also, for those that have never done an exercise program, this may be a good place to start.
