Sounds like a perfect evening meal and the fbg was **** jolly fine as well. You set some very high standards but I like a challenge.good afternoon allwas 4.4 this morning,
well today started off being cold and windy this morning when I left the house, then the wind direction reversed and we've got a lovely sunny and warm afternoon so it a nice salad for teawith lashings of spicy chicken breast, cheese and coleslaw
Anyone on this thread who can answer 3 questions re training with weights please. 1) is low weight high rep ok for potential lumbar issues; 2) Is it right that low weight high reps is essentially moderate cardio? 3) Should I avoid squats and deadlifts? I would be doing the exercises sitting down on a multi station machine largely.
Thanks in anticipation
Thanks @Goonergal I have an MRI scan on 16th so hope to know more after that. I don't want to cause more damage but I know muscle is important. Hope your weekend is relaxing and gets you back to normal.No expert but using the machines should minimise risk and help you to take the weight off your back - would just avoid anything that uses those muscles. Heavier weights and fewer reps will be better for BG as they’ll increase strength and muscle mass more quickly and give the liver another outlet.
Plan to get back on the weights wagon myself tomorrow morning.

Enjoy your time at our temporary home - must be an odd feeling that!Thanks. Good luck with the MRI. Off to the women’s FA Cup Final tomorrow. At least one Arsenal team can play.
@ziggy_w Just looking at the keto rolls recipe from DD. The 5 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder seems loads - I ad 1 tbl spoon for fibre. Do these have "side effects?"
@ziggy_w You are amazing. First Bilkman now this recipe and reassuring me re psyllium.Hi @ianpspurs,
Just got back from being out all day.
The basic recipe is 5 quarter cups of low-carb flour, 1 quarter cup of psyllium husks, seeds and spices to taste, one package of baking powder, about 2 teaspoons of salt, and about 1 and a half cups of boiling water (depending on the amount of seeds you add and the types of low-carb flour you use, some (such as chia flour) absorb more water). Then bake at 175 degrees centigrade for approx 1 and half hours, they are done when they sound hollow when tapping them.
No issues with gastrointestinal problems -- if that what you are refering too. The psyllium husks takes the role of gluten, making the dough elastic. Remember, the recipe is for somewhere from 6 to 8 rolls, so you won't have all the psyllium husk in one setting.
Hope this helps.
Good luck with the rolls. Let us know how they turn out.
@DJC3 Thanks for the concern. ATM I can't see any effect. I was more concerned when I was told they were considering CMT. Appt is May 16. Considering I started this process to see if a podiatrist could sort out my gait/walking technique in order to speed me up it is all interesting. Hoping something not too bad is found and fixed so I can stop dithering about and put in some proper hard yards. I think lifting more weights and core work will shift the dial on bg but I am very wary till they give me the all clear on my back. Anyhow, how are you now you are becoming hyperactive?
5.2 this morning can’t wait to finish work and enjoy what’s left of the weekend have a good one
@DJC3 I bought and used a weights machine way back in 2015 soon after dx as I read doing resistance and building muscle lowers bg. I think it worked, certainly I could lift or carry more working outside. Resistance training is good for me as a wrinkly anyhow, as we get sarcopenia. The aching and tiredness will pass but take it easy. I'm off for some light weights instead of bike today!Have you founds weights/resistance exercise better than cardio type for bg? As to your question, how am I now I am hyperactive? Aching and whacked!
