I'm a fat fuck that was diagnosed with diabetes.

"You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality"
--Ayn Rand

I'm learning to eat healthy.

First, WTF does eating healthy mean? Eating healthy means limiting your calories, salt (sodium,) and carbs. All food breaks down into grams (g) of carbs, fat, and protein. Sodium is a special problem.

You limit calories to whatever will keep you at your current weight at first. When you get used to eating right and exercising, you may try to lose a pound a week. Normal weight guys should stay around 2,000 calories a day.

You limit your sodium to avoid heart disease, which kills 1/3 of Americans. The govt. recommends adult males stay below 2,300 mg sodium in a day.

You limit your carbs to avoid diabetes, which is a bitch to deal with. Once you are a diabetic, limiting your carbs lets you take less diabetes medication.
