You're right, great results indeed

I'm still doing low carb, but not too low. I've added in brown rice, some fruit. I think I need to add more carbs in my post workout meal, I usually do a ready made BFL LC shake. Then an hour later, I'll have my egg white omlett loaded with spinach and 1/2 an orange. I'm still working on tweaking my menu some.


I would eat the orange (better yet juiced) immediately after the workout and the rice with the eggs one hour later. If you have glucometer you can see that even high GI carbs after the workout don't impact your BGs negatively because your body is so insuling sensitive and glucose tolerant
Dr James Kenney used in fact to say that a diabetic after a workout is not diabetic anymore, in that window of opportunity, when the body is in super glucose absorption

It's in the pre-workout meal that you want also some low GI carb and no fat
So I would avoid fruit in the pre-workout meal and maybe eat a just fruit smoothie 15 minutes before the workout

I have noticed better results immediately when I added concentrated sugar in my immediately after workout meal and I think the reason is that the postwork meals I used to have didn't stop cortisol synthesis so quickly as liquid high GI carbs
Also making sure that there's no over fat in the post-workout meal helped me a lot.

I also added lentils to my diet. It's true that they're legumes but they're actually a great food, extremely low GI, devoid of massive doses of antinutrients and leptins, easy to digest and richer in minerals, vitamins and protein and bigger hard to digest legumes. There are also studied showing reduced mortality in those that consume lentils periodically and increase insulin sensitivity. I use them to make spicy chili with tons of veggies (onions, peppers, cauliflower, zucchini, bruxelles sprouts, carrots) tomato sauce, diced chicken breat and lentils. That's my usual pre-workout meal

My other meals are virtually carb free except for trace amount in greens and veggies. What is improving my results is avoiding carbs at dinner and night, that's vital

The scale has barely moved, but the inches are falling off and for the first time, I'm starting to see some definition in my arms - i still have the flab, but they are starting to shape up.


Yeah, I say throw the scale ... you're not merely losing weight you're substituting undesirable fat weight for health muscle weight, the scale can't honestly tell you how good you're doing

Keep in touch with your progress - the BFL tracker is a great tool too.


Thanks, I will
