The atkins diet is your friend. Give up all white bread, potatoes, rice, and sugar.

I know that many will tell you to use artificial sweeteners, but avoid these like the plague. These will actually raise your blood sugar.

Hope you like green vegetables and meat, because that's all you should be eating.

It wouldn't hurt to get a lot more exercise. Don't go nuts and train for a marathon, just take up walking and do lots of it.
