[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1894928, member: 365308"] Hi I am a type 1 who volunteers with type 2s and a trainer though never been interested in anything other than keeping muscle tone so not an expert in hypertrophy and strength. Sean has given you pretty good low carb routine there. You don't have to dive straight into keto as your comments indicate you are not ready for it. As I emphasise if you do decide to eat less carbs, you should be careful to replace those foods with high quality fats and proteins (try and avoid low quality whey protein snacks which can be sugary and don't have any other useful nutrients). Lots of people here do not believe that this fat is a problem; if your wariness is about that aspect of going low carb I'd get a lipid panel done prior to a change. Also you do need to generate a little insulin to make new muscle. so eating a little carb in the evening would be advisable. Your blood sugar will likely rise during HiiT and lifting sessions because it is a stressor; lower intensity e.g. walk on the treadmill will lower your glycogen muscle supplies but as you are aware, an energy deficiency will result in muscle getting catabolised therefore you will need to replace lost energy from carbs with more fat and protein (preferably from natural sources). Maintaining lean mass will enable you to be insulin sensitive and this in conjunction with eating less carb will likely help you not to go onto medication and then insulin. [/QUOTE]
