[QUOTE="runner2009, post: 698597, member: 95489"] Lol Brunneria your post made me chuckle. Yes I agree with what you say. If you look at Dr.Bernstein's pic he always has a short cap sleeve shirt and his arms look very toned not skinny for man in his 80s and he seems to have absolutely no fat on him. I'm on insulin and I've used it to help build muscles but the minute I stop muscle building exercise I start adding fat. Since I hurt my back I've not been exercising and have been reducing my calories and for me I am coming to the conclusion that the generally accepted base calorie requirements are for most of us way to high. I can see 3 strong correlations; low carbs = better BG control, low calorie 1500 or less = better BG control plus ability to eat higher % carbs and finally more muscle mass = really good BG control and ability to eat more at same time provided you continually stimulate muscles. I understand the strength exercises are problematic look at my back. And 1500 calories a day for me is difficult always [/QUOTE]
