Hi All,
Not on the forum as much as I was to begin with due to work etc but just wanted to update to say I just had my HbA1c checked which represents the 6 month mark since my low carbing and running regime started on Dec 19th 2014.
HbA1c on 25/6 was down to 36 mmol/mol from 39 in March.
Cholesterol is 3.5 mmol/L which is up from the 3.1 so I am assuming that's the additional protein having an impact.
Triglycerides was 0.70 mmol/L
I have stepped up the running to 25-30 miles a week and joined a running club. Managed to get my 10K time down to 52 mins and my 5K down to 25 min so pleased with how that is progressing. I have the Birmingham half marathon as a goal in Oct.
Diet wise I am still low carbing and keeping to the routine that has worked for me in the past 6 months.
Weight wise I have been stuck at 61kg for over 8 weeks now but on the positive side I am not gaining. I can only assume that the muscle gain and toning from the running is balancing out what I losing in fat.
Overall pleased with the results but no point in resting on the laurels and falling off the wagon.
