My A1C as checked both Dec 31 2018 & about a week ago is 5.7, just in the range of pre-diabetes. I was hoping it would go down, but glad it at least didn’t go up any. I struggle to get enough carbs without overdoing it. I lost five lbs right after the December diagnosis, which I did not need to do. I would love to gain them back but have no idea how to do so without wreaking my carb numbers. Any suggestions? I have not noticed any decline in my strength levels since the weight loss
Jordan, I am female, 129 lbs, waist worse than I thought at 31”, I have been lifting 17 months currently doing HLM. Before lifting I did dumbbells for years, walked and ran. Still walk my dog daily and run around with him in the yard daily. Thanks for your help.
Given your waist and pre-diabetes, I would advise body fat reduction through slow weight loss, which would be done via a small calorie deficit (250kCal) and maintaining activity- particularly resistance training!
Jordan, Thank you. I don’t really need to lose weight, just the fat in my waist. Don’t know how to go about this. I have completed a question sheet on here about Nutritional Training, waiting to hear back from BBM about it. Thanks
