I currently have a 38" waist on a 6' frame. I'm bike riding 3-4 times a week approximately 1.5-2hrs. I'm also walking 2-3 times a week 1.5-2hrs. I've been in this routine for 1 year with no significant weight loss. My diet consist of 3 meals day with small breakfast,coffee, waffles or eggs,lunch and dinner with fish or chicken( very little meat),vegetables,salad . Usually have crackers or small snack before sleep. My cardiologist says my blood sugar is borderline but has monitored for 3 years. There's a family history of diabetes on my father's side. Any suggestions on reducing weight i.e. 20lbs with a life style change? I’m currently at 198 lbs and have my weight concentrated around my stomach. I currently have a 38″ waist on a 6′ frame.
