[QUOTE="betic, post: 347998, member: 24374"] hi all, i have been attempting body building for the last four years since discovering i was type 2. i trained on a low carb diet initially for the first 18 months and to be honest whilst i lost weight i made very little impression on muscle mass. over the next 18 months i developed my training methods and introduced a protein powder and vitamins and fish oil supplementation to my regime and things improved quite well , with some muscle gain albeit slow but i felt generally better heath wise and energy wise allowing me to push further in my weight lifting endeavors due to the supplementation. this also assisted my early neuropathy i was feeling in the feet area and reduced the leg cramps i was getting. at the start of the new year after a lot of reading and studying i also added glut amine to my diet 5g daily , which helped me in the digestion area and made me feel overall more comfortable. i intend to take this at this rate for 8 weeks, after which i will reduce to 2.5 grams three times weekly as a maintenance dose. i also started taking creatine two weeks after this , i didn't load but just had 5 grams per day taken with water in between protein shakes. i took it this way as when i mixed it with my protein i felt a little hyper afterwards for a while so take them separately now. i have seen considerable gains in the weights i am lifting since adding creatine , but as yet no real noticeable mass difference but have a lot more energy so will continue this for a 8 week cycle, then 1 week off and see what happens as it is early days yet. coconut oil if taken raw trips me out and makes me hyper, so again i use it to stir fry chicken and veg in which gives it a nice flavor and doesn't affect me if i use in this way. good luck to you all with your muscle building ventures... :P [/QUOTE]
