[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1083010, member: 138639"] I try to get to the gym a few times a week and am moderately active and healthy - I make sure I turn my pump down to -70% 2 hours before going to the gym, eat 1 cliff bar (about 40g of carbs, 9g protein, and 250cal) about 45 minutes prior so i can see my sugars getting up (usually they are at around 5 when i eat the cliff bar, i like to have them around 7-8 when i get to the gym) This setup allows me to work out roughly 2 hours - weights and ~15min of cardio, no issues, and my sugars are back around 4-6mmol/L when finished. I can't say it will make you loose weight because you will need to burn >250cals you ate + another 200calories. However, the secret to weight loss is in the kitchen not the gym! Every single day you have to make better choices, eat less, eat more veggies, low carb, no junk - consistency is the key. You wont loose weight if you eat 250 cal less every single day just to binge on the weekend and eat it all back! Be smart, be consistent, and be dedicated - thats the only way. After a month or so you will see a difference. [/QUOTE]
