[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2065698, member: 365308"] Your high bgs will impair muscle building. OMAD works well metabolically but eating a load of rice means you are likely to be missing out on nutrients as well as spiking you! If you replace the rice with enough protein and fat, your body should be able to use the food to sustain you and make you new muscle rather than dipping into your own fat supplies. Can you add some fat snacks into the regime e.g. butter coffee (bullet prooof) or 'fat bombs' during the day so that you are not stimulating insulin but are getting enough energy and nutrients? You may never be able to bulk up too much for genetic reasons but you can be 'wiry strong' by dong the classic push, squat, pull, hinge and plank type exercises. These could be body weight or at home with a kettle bell and a pull up bar. Anyway I think the key thing is to stabilise the blood sugars by upgrading your diet and then to ensure you eating enough to achieve muscle gain (not fat). [/QUOTE]
