Exercise is an important part of the GRID Diet!
Exercise Recommendations:
 Any exercise is better than no exercise. Regular (daily) exercise is best. Start with walking or riding a stationary bicycle. Progress to more intense activities when you can tolerate them. Many things help with maintaining a consistent exercise schedule. Exercising with friends, joining a gym, or something as easy as writing your exercise schedule on your calendar can help to improve and maintain your consistency.
Regular Exercise
- Reduces baseline insulin levels
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- Improves mood
- Raises basal metabolic rate
Walking Recommendations
 Start with a 30 minutes walk several times a week (at least 3). Increase frequency to daily. Increase intensity as tolerated. Walk with a friend or partner when possible.
