Stop or cut down eating the sugary and processed foods that make you fat, have a little more exercise, think about your lifestyle.<br /><br />The New Year is a great time for New Year resolutions, they needn't be too many or too extreme - simple is best and what simpler way to start the new year than cutting down on unnecessary foods and perhaps increasing those that will do our bodies far more good, bring on the humble veg and change to butter from marg - it's a start<br /><br />Whether you are a diabetic or not, if you haven't given it a go give it a try.<br /><br />Wonder if next time I go to my local hospital there will be some slimmer looking NHS staff?<br /><br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-42286560719553414082012-12-31T12:44:29.180+00:002012-12-31T12:44:29.180+00:00Hey Lori you could have a good point here.It has t...Hey Lori you could have a good point here.It has to come down to what we eat and the amount we eat. If you go back even 20 years we were not so obese then and go back further still and I think our diets were so much better. Our lives may see progress in some areas but in others we are making a complete hash of it. Not too sure what has got to happen. We all need to realise something needs to be done and a lot faster than the 'powers' are moving at.<br /><br />Sal (still cutting down the carbs and doing well)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-89630203926260392922012-12-31T00:55:41.451+00:002012-12-31T00:55:41.451+00:00Maybe they're overweight because they're t...Maybe they're overweight because they're taking their own advice.Lori Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612141535162268390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-33653537765161445742012-12-30T18:31:54.682+00:002012-12-30T18:31:54.682+00:00Hmmn not only NHS staff.

Yes, NHS staff should set an example but more needs to be done to highlight and educate the public that action needs to be taken. We are eating too much of the wrong food.<br /><br />Kate Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
