Anthony Anderson added "Diabetes advocate" to his list of credits. He is an actor and writer. This actor occupied since more than 20 films, including the hair salon, Scary Movie 3, transformers, hair salon and infiltrated them.
His television credits include all the words of the Andersons, The Bernie Mac Show, and law and order.
He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2002. He had family members with diabetes, including his mother and his father. According to him, he already had a lot of knowledge about the disease and of minimal lifestyle changes. When this proved unsuccessful in his management, he decided to be serious. The actor received a loss of weight of 40 pounds since January 2009.
In 2010, he became a spokesman of F.A.C.E., which stands for connected African-American Fearless and power. Their mission is to give, to educate and to eliminate the main obstacles successfully living with diabetes.
We have all celebrities views that are passed to drastic measures to lose weight or reach fitness. Show you how simple changes can be-able and powerful. What changes did you make in your life, to get to where you are today?
They were always simple changes. It took me becoming a Type 2 diabetic to make these changes. I eat healthier. It is not on a diet. It is a change of lifestyle. It is not that I stopped eating certain things. I eat them in moderation now. I eat better food quality - hormone-free meats, fruits and vegetables without pesticides. I am in the gym, which is the most important room. It comes to getting your body out, which extends from these muscles, get your heart to beat and then pump as blood better than it has before. I am healthy now as a diabetic Type 2 I was until I was diagnosed.
You never tempted to leave the diet or exercise slide?
Do you know what? We are all tempted. I would be foolish to believe that I can continue my life without putting something in my mouth that I should not, but everything goes well with moderation. Can I take a bite of a donut as opposed to eat three donuts. We had lunch here at the Office, and he have a cookies in this room the size of my head. If you know how big my head is, you know how big these cookies are. Well, I went and oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite. Now it is impossible in the world that I will eat a cookie that is 6 inches in diameter, but can I take a bite and that satisifes that hunger. Before I would have eaten may be two of these cookies. This time, I just had a small bite. I learned from a nutritionist that it is unrealistic to say that you are not going to eat this more but to consume with moderation.
How do you make time to take care of yourself in your life? You have any advice or strategies for when you are short on time?
The most important thing is planning. As long as you plan your days will be, it makes it much easier. If I know I will be on the road, by air in a Room 8 hours of interviews I know that I have to plan for that. Helps me stay on target and get through my day successfully. I never stress enough the importance of planning meals and snacks of planning. This is what we must do to keep our sugar in the blood at a certain level, but [he] did Spike and falling. This is what I do. It takes that much time just for planning the previous night.
I recently read a Web site comment on an interview that you did for the prediction of diabetes. The commentator named Brian wrote, "wow"...Its history is a source of inspiration. I did not know that he had diabetes. "If it can be seriously on his diabetes so can i." you have sources of inspiration yourself?
Well, my inspiration is my family – my wife, my children, my brothers, my sisters, my mother and my father. Unfortunately, I lost my father to the disease. Then when I was diagnosed, it was my inspiration. It was my will to live. I made a pact with myself to live with this, and not die.
A journalist listed my credits and she said, "How does it feel to add a lawyer to the list of credits. It's great to have someone I never met be moved and touched by my journey and my story. Where the world will motivate them to become more healthy, to live a better life and take care of itself means me. That motivates me to motivate myself, to make account that I can make a difference in someone's life just by telling my story and share my journey with them.
Your father is dead because of this disease, and there is a lot of diabetes education. What is F.A.C.E. could help others in these situations?
They bring known disease in the community. We have no idea how long my father had been living with diabetes at the time wherever he has been diagnosed.
What the F.A.C.E. campaign through their Web site provides information and awareness. They provide links to other sites where people who have questions about the disease, or who may suffer from the disease, can get these questions answered.
They are also teaming with people like me and Angie Stone, and in partnership with events such as the real Cookoff of men that I was a part of. Angie and I, and Eli Lilly were part of take a Loved One to the doctor day.
He is also National Diabetes awareness month here in November. The program F.A.C.E., Eli Lilly, myself and Angie Stone - it is the dream team and it is our mission. We are passionate about this because we have lost members of the family; We have lost friends. We are performed by this disease and we see how it is to make our community. We are here to share information, our personal stories, our personal triumphs.
