Jillian’s Diabetes Tips – From Losing It With Jillian Michaels

I don’t see Jillian’s diabetes tips posted on the NBC website yet (usually takes a day or so after the episode airs) but you can always get them from JillianMichaels.com. She mentioned on tonight’s episode (Indian Reservation) that she would have them posted on NBC.com. In the meantime, here are a few tips to reduce your chance of getting diabetes type 2.

1) Daily exercise. Just move, however you can move, just move.

2) Whole vegetables and clean foods. Avoid foods that are processed, fried, have cartoon characters on the packaging and don’t spoil. You want foods that will actually rot. Have you see the 4 year old hamburger on YouTube? Yuck.

3) Cut down your sugar intake. We get way more sugar than we should and it’s in the form of added sugar to things like ketchup and salad dressings. Really look at your nutrition labels try not get more than 25 grams of added sugar per day. (Natural sugars from fruit are ok)

4) Put down the salt shaker. Salt is the same as sugar. We get way to much of it. Aim for under 1500 mg per day. Read the labels and you will see how quickly that adds up.

Jillian’s Diabetes Tips will be posted here as soon as they are available!
