Fabulous report!
I've read that you must choose your diet:
Either high fat, low carb or
Low fat, high carb.
Most peeps just do both: high fat and high carb, LOL!
If I wasn't up to my eyeballs in high blood sugar and testing and trying to
figure out which way to jump NOW, I'd be interested in hearing more about
what you eat!
I'm tired of being jiggly with all my weight training but now knowing that
I'm insulin resistant, that could be part of my problem. So I must fix that
prblm first.

Hi everyone, I've been at this for a few months now and I wanted to let you
know how I'm doing. It's been a lot of trial and error for me but I've
reached my goals.
Firstly, I've read countless times on this board that nearly everyone here
advocates a low carb diet. I have found for myself, with my weight training
and running that I absolutely cannot eat low carb. It doesn't work for me AT
ALL. It was pretty frustrating that I'd actually bought into that for so
long and if I hadn't, I would've gotten to my goal sooner.
What does work for me however, is a low fat whole grains based diet. I open
my eating window at 3pm and I'll have a hearty bowl of whole grain cereal
with soy milk, whole wheat pitas stuffed with hummus and spinach or natural
peanut butter and a protein shake with some glutamine. Then I'll have some
low-fat yogurt and some popcorn. By this time, I'm easily satisfied until
dinner where I'll cook some lean meat/fish and have a huge portion of
veggies. I'm not eating fruit because it doesn't seem to benefit me in any
way. For a while I did "low carb" and ate only veggies and fruits as my
carbs and found I was spinning my wheels. I was still soft and jiggly with
no muscle and had no energy for my workouts. Now, I eat my meals and workout
about 8pm with TONS of energy.
It wasn't until I centered my diet around whole grains that I could put on
mass and cut body fat. I started out here at about 140 pounds and I'm down
to 115. Not only that, I'm not starving while I'm fasting. The hunger is
easily manageable with my high intake of bulky low glycemic carbs.
I'm not saying this is for everyone but it's definitely healthy for me. I've
also read dozens of research articles on studies done by universities that
demonstrate the huge benefits of a whole grain diet.
Hate to be so in your face in refuting the rampant low carb dogma that's
everywhere these days but I wanted to share that I'm living proof that low
carb isn't the be all that ends all for everyone.
Thanks for listening.
