[QUOTE="JUSTJOKING, post: 1621314, member: 264046"] I have read these forums for a while now and the one major issue that people rarely point out is exercise. I honestly believe that thin people can have T2 because although their weight may be okay that have reduced muscle tone so the muscle to fat ratio in thin or fat people is an issue. I have never posted before but feel that people of whatever age, weight, size and shape that increase their muscle tone and therfore their body shape including waist size and hip to waist ratio whilst following a low carb or lower carb diet will improve their T2. This does not require weight loss although in obese people there is likely to be some weight loss. I myself now maintain a weight that is around 25 BMI a fraction over weight but I have reduced ny bosy size from XL to medium whist losing approx 10lbs. I have reduced waist measurement to below half my height, increased my hip to waist ratio, increased leg and arm sizes. Regular physical activity including some cardio, yoga, pilates and strength training everyday with a diet of only fresh food based on high natural fats and reduced carbs is my regime. My last two Hb1AC results have been 37, I have been off all medication for 16 months and I have no doubt losing weight helped but increasing physical activity with regular weight training has been the biggest factor in controlling my T2. I can now eat ice cream pasta, cake etc and still have a BS of below 4.5 two hours later. Note I do not do this very often but very occasionally I have a cheat and then check the effect on bloods. More muscle allows more storage of glycogen, the more muscle you have and the more you use the muscles I beleive imroves BS levels along with a low carb diet. I rarely see anybody offering increasing muscle tone whilst reducing body fat as an option. I had no idea my muscle tone had reduced so much and at 61 male and over weight I have shocked myself at the level of fitness and body fat I have managed to achieve and continue to improve. My blood reults improved with weight loss but normalized with improved fitness and increased nuscle tone. [/QUOTE]
