The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke
If you have gained a few pounds over the years and have drifted to eating more and more from restaurants and quick meals that come in a carton, it’s likely that your blood sugar levels are elevated and will continue to rise unless steps are taken to reverse them. The amount of sugar in your blood stream is a function of how much you consume at meals and how efficiently insulin acts to move it to cells needing it for fuel. Typically our diets overwhelm our bodies with sugar and insulin loses its effectiveness at moving it from the bloodstream.
The way to reverse this is to eat differently and lose those extra pounds. A normal blood sugar level is one that rises in response to a meal and then lowers a gain as the food is digested and insulin does its thing. Keeping a normal blood sugar level is a matter of 
reducing the amount of sugar your body has to deal with each day and losing those accumulated pounds of excess sugar hanging around your middle.
A diet high in protein and fats and low in carbohydrates will do wonders in lowering your blood sugar levels. This diet provides less sugar to be processed and encourages weight loss. Weight loss can be done quicker by adding exercise to this change in eating and even a little bit of exercise done regularly everyday will great benefits.
This change may be that you take up cooking again and learn to love vegetables, especially the green ones, and leave sweets and desserts alone. It can be dramatic change for some people, but if you can stick it out for three weeks the changes may become a permanent habit. It’s time to teach an old dog new tricks and return to the weight and health of your youth, so get moving and start eating those vegetables your mother told you about.
