[QUOTE="Stuart7152, post: 1332499, member: 357020"] I've been going to gym for 2hrs per day ( more towards weights than cardio) x 6 per week. I run 1x10km and 1x5km per week too and have been doing this since T2. I'm loving my new fitness levels and will continue with this level of exercise as can easily fit it in my life style, rather than sat at home watching TVs and stuffing my face with crisps and chocolate as I used to do! I cut out all processed food, limited alcohol and limited saturated fat, but did try increase healthy fats and ensured always calorie deficit, (healthy clean diet - more towards a bodybuilding approach on fixed grams for each macro based on actual daily body weight). This approach worked really well and lost 40kg and got my HBA1c to 39, so back in the normal range. I've got a BG meter recently and trying to moderate my carbs to max 130g per day to see if I can future lower BG levels, but really will only change what the meter says. Currently doing my own research on the effect of low carbs and high fats on muscle building before trying lower carbs below 100g. At this point my body seems to be ok with moderate carbs and it helps the bodybuilding to retain this macro as already high protein and moderate healthy fats. Don't need to lose weight any further so stopped following calorie deficit to maintain weight and increases food intake to find balance point. [/QUOTE]
