[QUOTE="twhincup, post: 89407, member: 18500"] i've been in the gym every 2 days for the last couple of months, whilst also sticking to a lower carb diet (i'm t2, metformin twice daily). I dont have any notion of calories and never count ( probably why i got overweight in the 1st place :D ) i just count the carbs and keep them less than 100 at worst, but ideally aim for 30-50. For example of food, i have just eaten 2xbacon, 3 scrabled eggs and a buttered crumpet - about 20 carbs with a cup of tea. i'm down just over half a stone and have no side effects, admittedly i did feel lethargic and have a headache the 1st week of low carbs but that passed. ~The best part is i dont get ravenously hungry and i have energy to last the day hope this helps [/QUOTE]
