[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1582843, member: 93504"] When my husband lost a lot of weight (via strict low carb) soon after diagnosis, over four years ago, he was found to have very little muscle left underneath it all. I joked for some years that he was a man who could barely lift his own brief case, never mind carry suitcases or the shopping, that was all down to me. Keeping to a ketogenic diet and with the assistance of a personal trainer, he soon began to build up some pretty good muscles for his age (mid 60's) just through appropriate exercise. (Our diet includes good quality proteins, meat, fish, eggs.) Some months later, I was astounded when he happily picked up a block of concrete, which had been lying around for several years after some building work, and carried it down the garden to a more convenient place. He's even put MY suitcase up on an overhead train luggage rack, a task which i wouldn't even consider! So, very low carb, good protein and appropriate exercise has turned at least one T2 middle aged male into someone who can carry out most reasonable activities, plus a few. Hope you enjoy your holiday, Sally [/QUOTE]
