[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2182999, member: 365308"] Hi Sophie and well done on getting back into it. I am a type 1 and a pt so I'll give you my take on this based on what's known about exercise. Its probably good news as you are already doing good stuff! 1) If you do too much long distance cardio it will likely make you hungrier and less active so can be a great stress buster and good for health but not necessarily helpful for losing fat. Your short burst high intensity circuits will help but remember that running up and down escalators/stairs/steep hill could be as beneficial and possibly more sustainable. I hope you continue to be motivated by the Cross Fit type gym. Please take care to keep and eye on technique though because an injury would be bad for your blood glucose levels. Swim if yo enjoy it as it is the one place you can't take a phone. Consider yoga/pilates for the same reason plus it will help you lift weights better and with less risk of injury. Family fun run sounds a great way to get the kids off their gadgets and I know they will warm you up properly. 2) Dropping carbs/IF is critical but make sure you are getting full up and don't feel deprived by pushing too hard. Be consistent before you up the intensity as with the Cross Fit. 3) Getting strong so that you've got plenty of insulin sensitive muscles will help keep your metabolism healthy. Again this can be done with body weight exercises at home. Here's a link [URL]https://drchatterjee.com/5min-kitchen-workout/[/URL] 4) Timing is key too. Exercising after a meal or a carby treat will dent the spike in your blood glucose and inhibit the storage of fat. With fat loss it is all about signalling to your body that it can burn fat by eating less frequently and eating less carbs. Doing intense exercise which challenges your big muscles also gives the signal that fuel needs to be liberated. So keep making one good exercise and food choice at a time so that this time you build good habits for life as it sounds as if you've jumped off the deep end a bit?! [/QUOTE]
