This is on behalf of my husband , who has for the last few weeks been using a personal trainer ( he is type 2 has been for about 7 years , Dr has warned him he might end up on insulin , I found this site what an eye opener )
Today his gym has sent him a diet plan , its not too bad , although it is tending to be on the low fat , more carbs side of the fence
And apparently its a myth that you need to avoid sugar at all costs abd that you have to cut down on carbs :roll:
and apparently high protien causes insulin resistance :shock:
:roll: :roll:
Can you comment on the following recommendations please
Cottage cheese?
Whey protien
whole grain cereal
meal replacement shakes
is mixed bean salad ok
plus multi vitamins , plus vit C plus Tribulus Terrestris plus L-Glutamine
Suggests he eats unhealthy food early in the morning , as your body has a better insulin response in the morning? ( morning is best time to eat sweet foods ) .........Oh's readings are highest then
oh and after training have half a bagel with 2 TABLEspoons of honey !!!...............One other thing his blood sugar levels are higher after exercise
For the last 6 weeks we have been following a low carb , high fat diet , and we have both lost aroound 10llb , but more importantly we feel better and his readings are quite often in the 6's , so we must be doing something right ( I have a wheat intolerence/ IBS )
