Sandy21 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so I thought I should quickly introduce myself. My name is Sandy and I am from India. I was recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes and my doctor advised me to lose weight and get more physically active. I started going for morning walks and I have lost around 2 kg of weight. Now I am also planning to start some weight training so that I can shed off some fat and builds some muscles. I am not a vegan but I am a vegetarian. I think the concept of this forum (vegan) is very different and interesting that's why I joined it.I would love to make some friends here and know more about body-building, health and fitness.

VeganBadass_CO Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hi Sandy! Glad to hear you're making positive changes. Switching to a plant-based whole foods diet can reverse your pre-diabetes condition, and I'd say even so if you remain vegetarian and not go all in vegan. You'll probably already know, drop all processed foods. White rice, breads, etc. though in your diet that may already be the case. Happy to help so if you've questions please ask away!

Sandy21 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks for the welcome and your support guys. My doctor also advised that if I stay away from processed foods I can reverse my pre-diabetes completely and my risk of getting diabetes will reduce.
