I`ve been looking into this a lot lately, I am sure I`m insulin sensitive, I have dropped 2 and 1/2 stone, I still look bloated, I have bodyfat around my ab area and need to get rid of it, I dropped my protein intake a lot, I was eating 3 times a day, lost some muscle size but that was due to dropping protein and calories.
I have since upped my protein and am beginning to gain a little size back, not that I`m that small mind, the thing is you can lose weight and keep the protein high or at least at levels to maintain size while you lose the fat, you just have to be careful that you don`t drop protein intake too low and not hold your size, I`ve dieted before and kept the protein intake up, kept the size and lost fat but I must admit its got a whole lot harder with the carbs recently and I need to start thinking around the insulin sensitive idea and work on low carb with higher fat intake.
Fruit or fruit juice before a workout, some complex carbs after a workout thats what Cookie is refering to if I`m correct, we have had this conversation before eh Cookie?
Get the diet wrong and you suffer, either low energy, lose of size or not gaining, get it right and things a rosey.
