Thanks former the reply mate. The shake I'm taking is PhD Diet Whey, which is really low sugar and carbs. I'm only having 1 scoop and mixing with 500ml water instead of the instructed 175ml, to keep my water intake high. At the minute my BG is quite steady and lower than it had been, so I'm...

Trying to train fasted atm. See how that goes. I'm ok on just water and my diet protein shake after, just wondering if I can take BCAA+ drink during. May get some and try it.

Thanks mate I'll take a look. Already had Daisy's great info pack on a previous post but thanks. Lol. Got a Wavesense Jazz Wireless meter that I've just had replaced as old one was faulty, and started testing again today.

I'm just starting out on a LCHF diet, to go with my new training regime, and I'm wondering if their are any good books I can get to go on my Kindle. Would like something with recipes and a section that shows nutritional info in different foods. Also I see their a split views on eating veg, and...

Can anyone tell me if taking Intra BCAA+ drink during my workout will negatively affect my BG Levels??? Or is just best to try and see???

Massive thanks for this. I'm going to do a bit of research on some low GI foods to have for dinner. I have a couple of books given to me by a friend I'm going to read on it. I'm going to stick my PhD shakes for now as well, as I'm happy with how I'm eating with it and the weight is coming off. I...

Massive thanks for the response. Can you explain a little more as to what you mean by Fat Adapted?? I think get you but not sure, lol. I'm defo going to be training fasted now, and eating after. I also see above that you walked 1.5 hours after a meal and weight trained before, do you think...

Many thanks for the response. I am finding so much out since being here, it's great, and it's given me more motivation to get on top of my BG Levels and eating. Really glad I joined.

Massive thanks for the response and advice. I am going to start testing again Friday when I am back at the Gym, to see if what I am doing is ok. I'm taking your advise on the snacks and going shopping later. Thanks again.

Thanks, I've changed what fruit I eat now to berries etc, so should be ok. I've posted on the fitness section and getting some good advice. I have a BG Meter that I'm going to start using again Friday when I'm back at the gym, sonic can see if what I am doing is ok, as I'm happy with the steady...

Thanks for the advice, I am defo going to train fasted, and i always stay well hydrated. I'm going to start testing again on Friday when I am back at the gym, and see what my levels are like with what I am doing, as I'm quite happy with the steady weight loss atm. If need to change it I will. I...

I struggled with eating at work mainly. Instead of making a healthy lunch to take with me, I became lazy and when at work I'd go and get a Gregg's or even worst KFC!!! Since being back at the gym it has given me more motivation to eat correctly at work, hence either the MRP Shake, or an egg...

Thanks for the reply. I am now going between 5 and 7 times a week, and really enjoying it. I stay well hydrated so that's not a worry. Think I'll do the same though and continue to train fasted, as the long term benefits seem better.

I generally do a cardio and weights session. I have read the same that it may be better to do it fasted, so I'll probably stick at that, thank you.

Thanks mate, appreciated. Really happy i found this forum with so many people and great advice.
