  • Definitely look into glycemic index. Low GI foods can still be full of carbs but not drastically increase your blood glucose. The answer isn't just cut carbs. I am T2 diabetic and carb cycle with some days 300-400g carb intake (with high intensity exercise)...my A1c was last 6.1% and I expect it to go down further next…

  • Understand too that we generally Underestimate calorie consumption of our meals and overestimate calories burned during exercise. This can cause a recipe for disaster if we are not realistic. Cycling for example the apps and heart rate monitor can overestimate calories burn by 20-100%. And unless we are weighing our food…

    in Adding exercise calories Comment by cszulc August 2023
  • I tried it. My problem was I had so much desire at the end of a fasting period and ate all a days calories in that evening meal (and sometimes then some). I have been having better luck from carb cycling. I work it around my weekly exercise routine and notice a big difference in feeling and be able to stay in my calorie…

  • You got it. Three years ago I was diagnosed T2 with a 12.4% a1c. For the first two years I didn't take it very seriously and my meds were increased. 9 months ago I changed path, started focusing on my nutrition and fitness. Currently down 55 pounds and my a1c is 6.1% AND on less medication than when I was diagnosed. No…
