I drink double that but yep as long as you burn more than you put in its all good. I play sport two to three days a week, In summer I kayak regularly and my job, even though I don't work many hrs is a non stop one and is a bit of a work out in itself.

My major down fall is a pack of biscuits every night. Good God I love a biscuit.

Are you a diabetic? I love biscuits too but never eat them anymore. You might as well eat a dozen packs of sugar.

Sometimes make me own biccies, sugar is substituted with tagatesse (brand name for tagatose sweetener), you can't tell they're zero sugar.

And they taste better than stuff from the shop.

You sound like the teacher I had in a diabetes class! lol. I find for its just easier not to buy stuff like bread,pasta,rice etc. I think its too hard for most people too control themselves, if it isn't in the house, you can't eat it. oh yeh, my cholesterol and triglycerides have never been high. How high is your A1C?

Just got results back from blood taken yesterday and A1C down to 5.7, fasting level at 81mg/dl or 4.5 mmol/l but 3.8-4.0 mmol normal before first morning brew, so Metformin cut in half to 1 850mg pill per day.

Oh, LDL down to "borderline high" at 158. Statin dose to be cut in half, Coversyl to protect heart no longer needed.

Not bad for a mere 5 months since diagnosis.

I plan on all of that being lower for next test in 3 months, but if it's ok with you I'll stick to what I'm doing...

I doubt the a1c will be lower but there is no need to try. below 6 is great.

I’m 38 and a big guy. Used to drink a lot. Don’t anymore. Just recently started lifting free weights again after 8 years. And started eating nothing but whole foods probably 5-6 meals per day. It’s working and I get to eat a lot of good food so I like it.

That's why it works,
Its amazing how much you can eat
When you cut out the shit and still lose weight.

As in if your hungry, eat
Full, stop.

Its really that simple unless you have the carbs triggering your "im starving"
Hormones then life is all about food and when I can have some.
Thats no way to live.
Might as well do crack.
At least bitches love crack...

I am eating 3000-4000 calories per day. Non of it processed. Mostly protein and produce. It’s awesome and I feel way better. Not to Mention I am not sore at all after lifting.

Lol I love crack, just know better then to do it.
