I get extremely dizzy and tired when walking/exercising should I eat before doing exercising

1. 1
2. Plan to eat an hour or two before you begin exercising. This is going to give your body enough time to digest the food and prevent an overly full feeling while working out.
3. 
   Step 2
   Eat a light meal before exercising. The food that you should consume before exercise should only be a small snack not a full meal. A heavier meal is better suited for after the workout.
4. 
   Step 3
   Get a snack that is high in carbohydrates. Carbs are going to give you the energy needed to get through the workout. Bananas and yogurt are healthy items that have a high number of carbs.
5. 
   Step 4
   Consume a food item that is low in sugar and fat. High fat and sugary foods may give you a quick rush, but your energy level will decrease quickly. High levels of sugar should only be consumed if you have been diagnosed with low blood sugar.
6. 
   Step 5
   Drink a lot before the workout. To stay hydrated, drink plenty of water or a sports drink prior to exercising.
7. How to Reduce Blood Pressure with Exercise
8. 
   Step 1
   Test your blood pressure level. Identify your level will help you determine your risk for disease and how much you need to lower your blood pressure. Routine health checks should include a blood pressure screening. However, if you feel you are at a higher risk, have your blood pressure checked regularly. Many pharmacies carry self-monitoring equipment, and churches, hospitals, fire stations and clinics often offer free screenings.
9. 
   Step 2
   Talk with your doctor about your cholesterol level and set an achievable goal you can work toward. In addition to discussing your cholesterol level, discuss other aspects of you medical history and any medications you are taking. This may alter the treatment options. Work with your doctor to create an exercise and healthy diet plan.
10. 
    Step 3
    Start your exercise plan right away. This can be done by joining a gym. Many gyms offer individual aerobic and weight lifting equipment, yoga and pilates classes, group aerobic and cycling classes, personal trainers, and dietitians. There are many other options other than joining a gym. Leisure walks, jogs, bicycling or rollerskating will increase your heart rate and help you reduce your blood pressure.
11. 
    Step 4
    Find a workout buddy. Working out with a partner, whether in or out of the gym, is more motivating and increases your accountability to continue exercising regularly. This makes working out seem less like a chore and more enjoyable.
12. 
    Step 5
    Include physical activity in your daily routine. Increase the amount of walking you do by parking farther from your office building or the grocery store. If you live close enough, ride a bicycle to work. Whenever possible, take the steps instead of the elevator. This will increase your heart rate and therefore burn more calories. Take a short walk with your coworkers during lunch to help fight that urge for an after lunch nap. Walk down the hall to deliver that message to the boss instead of using the phone.
13. 
    Step 6
    Create a list of healthy food choices and keep it with you. This will motivate and encourage you when eating out. When ordering from a menu at a restaurant, consult your list to ensure that you are staying on track with your diet plan. It will not help your exercise routine if you do not make an effort to eat healthy.
14. 
    Step 7
    Throw away "junk" food in your home, and replace them with healthy snacks and meal ingredients. Removing the temptation to eat unhealthy snacks at home will make it easier to avoid them at restaurants and the grocery store.

Lynette, its very good that you are dieting and walking/exercising, congratulations on the weight loss. You have to remember though that by exercising you are burning calories and if you are only eating 900 calories that may not be enough to sustain your energy level. Remeber the old addage calories in calories out. See if your MD can set you up with a registered dietician to help you with with a diet plan that will provide you with the correct amount of calories for your activity level. Have you had diabetic teaching? Good luck, Vicki

Extreme dizziness and tireness may be signs of hypoglycemia, and/or anemia.  Diabetic medications such as glypizide can lower your blood glucose to below normal level.  It is therefore important that you check your blood glucose when you feel these symptoms to make sure that this is not the case.  I agree with your mom that you should eat a light breakfast before your walk.  Also, starving yourself is not the right way to lose weight, it will only make you malnourished, perhaps resulting in anemia.  You need to restrict your consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates (potatoes, pasta, bread, rice, sugary foods), but you should eat as much protein foods and vegetables that you care to eat.  Eating lots of lean meat will not spike your blood sugar, but it will give you the essential nutrients that you need to stay healthy.Please visit the Weight loss health tips page on my website http://www.best4health.net for more information.

Hello Lynette,

At one time in my life I was about 75 lbs heavier than I am now.  I was experiencing a variety of health issues including allergies to lots of things.  So... I took at look the possibility that the food that I was eating, not so much the quantity but what it is, was a major factor for my body to be in the shape that it was in.  So I started to pay attention to the Blood type diet and practicing Falun Dafa Qigong everyday. That sure worker for me!  I lost ten lbs. in the first week and a total of 20 lbs the first month.  Over the next ten months I lost another 55 lbs.  And I cleared up all of the health issues I was having at the time. That was way cool!.. Love and Light... Gravyee
