[QUOTE="brassyblonde900, post: 1925858, member: 445897"] I do hope this thread is resurrected this year, Xmas is round the corner, it would be fun to see how us carb sensitive folks navigate this carbcentric festivity. As I research this condition, it becomes apparent that, its not just about the obvious, in this case BG. A lot of underlying pathology is driving this condition and High Insulin level is implicated. That said, my diabetes control now includes building muscles, for signalling via the GLUT4 pathway which does not require insulin whilst lowering BG.. Most of my adult life I was overweight. In my 40's I became obese. In my early 50s I became morbidly obese In my mid 50s a T2DM dox has meant for the first time as an adult, I have lost weight and kept it off, long term. Thank God for this condition, and going low-carb. I am now a normal weight. I was one of those people who would exercise within an inch of my life. I was the queen of aerobic exercise. I shied away from resistance exercise, because I loved seeing the numbers show a downward trend on the scale. It would have been dispiriting to see any muscle gain counteract what I then assumed was progress. I could not risk muscle gain counteracting what I thought was fat loss, if there was likely to be any slight increase on the values on the scale, I did not care how efficacious that would be for my goal. That strategy was not for me. Yet the weight piled on year after year. Now I know better. So with Your Kind Permission [USER=256617]@Mbaker[/USER] , I am going to go with your strategy of last year. I will enjoy myself within low carb reason, whilst I also employ strategies that will mitigate any BG and Insulin rise as a consequence .
