Good info on the diabetese. I had never heard of that before. I thought you got type II from being fat and eating too many simple carbs. I didn't know that worked in reverse.
MMA trainging. Hmm well I know grappling is one of the hardest workouts I've done. Demands every muscle in the body to work... I could only imagine adding stand up + wieghts + cardio in one session. Well I've done that, but in totally separate time slots with meals and rest in between. |
Thanks bro. My Dr was very vocal about the possibility that my pancreas may react to the sudden drop in sugar intake and monitored that really closely with a twice a day test kit. Luckily enough my blood sugar level was, is remains perfect.
My MMA training is awesome. Start with warmups, then I box with with a bit of Mauy Thai and dirty boxing (up close, lots of grappling/body work) mixed in for 2 - 3 minute rounds with a guy on the pads constantly moving, swinging and changing levels, then it's Thai push-ups, storks, crunches, finishing off with 3 minutes of grappling. Followed by 10 minutes of puking lol.

Took me 7 days to bounce back for dropping carbs. Key is to overload with protein right from the start, egg based shakes, egg whites, lean meats, fish, chicken etc...

What is a standard meal for you?

Thanks George. I'm on a custom high protein, low fat, low sodium, almost 0 carb diet designed by a nutritionist assigned by my Dr.
Standard breakfast would be 4 egg whites mixed with one regular egg in scramble or omelette form, maybe some sauted mushrooms and green onion tops, some low lactose Allegra cheese and a piece of pea-meal bacon.
Lunch I'll make wraps with lettuce instead of bread or tortilla's with either plak smoked salmon with dijon, bbq steak, chicken breast...all lean meats with little fat but grilling really helps that out.
Dinner I'll steam a half of a head of broccoli and cauliflower, with a bbq steak, fish or chicken/turkey breast.
No sugar, alcohol, flour, wheat, gluton, yeast, fruit, fuit juice, any vegetable that grows below the ground like carrots or potatoes and allot more than I can list.
