So last month I tried the Keto diet, and well it worked, I ate less carbs and I stopped taking insulin completely because I did not need it, so I stopped taking Nova rapid (the fast acting insulin) but I did not stop with Levemir. However I realized because of this diet I couldn’t include cardio training during my workouts because otherwise my blood sugar would drop, so I stuck to weight training only. Fast forward to yesterday I got this idea; the Keto diets main goal is for my body to stop using insulin and glucose as a source of energy, which in that case worked, I stopped injecting my self and I stopped eating a lot of carbs however I thought for my self what if I could eat carbs and incorporate cardio exercises into my workouts to stabilize my blood sugar instead of injecting my self. And well, it worked. Yesterday I had like a mini carb feast before training, I had a chocolate cupcake and a donut, after like 10 mins I started training and I tested my blood sugar and it was normal, about 5,6 mmol. So the question is will I still achieve my goal, shred fat, build muscle while eating carbs while avoiding insulin?</p></blockquote><p></p>
