Newman, I am dieting. I try to eat most of my carbs for breakfast in the form of Cheerios or some other whole grain cereal. The rest of the day is mostly high protein, good fats and lots of green vegetables. I do try to eat three pieces of fruit a day. Usually apples. I got very sick and lost my leg so I decided that I needed to make a change while I still have one leg.
I am diabetic and I intend to switch to a high protein, low carb diet in the future. Adam Campbell has given me information and suggested several books which I have read to get me started.
I do upper body weight exercises and some lower body bodyweight exercises and band exercises. I get physical therapy twice a week and use their machines as often as possible for my legs.
As soon as I get a permanent leg with an articulated ankle I will be able to do more traditional lower body exercises.
