    Need to lose weight type 1 diabetic

    Good points though a couple of clarifications: I did mean skinniest cultures with proper access to food, not talking about malnourishment here. I'm talking about cultures where the food emphasis is on veggies not meat. Most if not all of those cultures are healthier than the general western...

    Need to lose weight type 1 diabetic

    My personal opinion is that sustained weight loss comes from a change in lifestyle not a short or even long term diet. So if you're not the dieting type you're setting yourself up for failure from the start. I lost about 50 pounds 3 years ago switching from my regular meals to more plant based...

    Weight gain powder

    Most weight gainers have an insane amount of carbs. Usually when i bulk i eat a mix of nuts (no pun intended :D). The amount of carbs vs calls is doable. Some online shops offer a good amount for a reasonable price. I also get about 500-600 calls from protein shakes a day. But usually on a...

    Since you drink a lot of water dehydration doesn't seem to be the problem. So how about the minerals ... especially magnesium and potassium? A lack of those two can lead to cramps and i've read somewhere that diabetics can have a lack of magnesium. Furthermore magnesium has slight benefits for...

    Weights vs Carbs

    I can only wholeheartedly agree that muscle is made in the kitchen. The majority of people that fail is because of a lack of proper nutrition. A cheap and easy solution to get your protein intake up are whey shakes and you do need a good amount of protein as been said. You can also make plenty...
