[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1414243, member: 41816"] Your last paragraph sums it up for me. All these professionals are giving you advice based on their training, and their expectation that T2 is a deteriorating condition. None of it comes from personal experience, individual testing or specific tailoring. Meanwhile, you [B][I]with a proven track record, excellent control, a fantastic attitude, and a good understanding of what works for your body[/I][/B], are being pulled this way and that, by conflicting advice - some of which is now disproven, debunked or was always nonsense. (although Bluetit's comment about calories and fuelling exercise is a very good point! ;) ) My own experience, and several recent studies, find that exercise is good for us in many ways, but it is of very limited use in losing weight. And the calories maths have never added up, because they are based on faulty calculations. I would just say, eat to your meter, exercise to your pleasure, and don't mess up your metabolism. (sorry for the multiple edits. I kept hitting 'save' before I finished! :) ) [/QUOTE]
