hey raynor. ive been lifting for about 2 years now so im pretty comfortable in the gym and such, but i just have a quick q for u
im type 1 diabetic (have been since i was 15, so about 5 years now)
have you ever trained with a type 1 diabetic? or talked to anyone that is?
im just curious to know if there's anything to be aware of for strength and size gaining as one.
obviously i know the ins and outs of the disease, so i dont need a 101 on that. just didnt know if in regards to bodybuilding there is any little things i should be aware of
thanks man.
Hey there.
The best diet for type 1 and 2 diabetics is always KETO.
This drastically reduces the body's need for insulin by converting the metabolism away from glycogen (sugar) and into fat (ketosis).
anyway, here is what you need to do:
first read up here:
http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=21269614&p=304616466 anabolic cutting diet (cyclical keto diet)
That diet plan is the CORE for which you will use - that particular one is for cutting, for you I want to do muscle growth. In order for that, you need to increase the total calories per day by around 500-800.
So figure you will need between 2,500-3,000 calories a day but with keto parameters.
With that in mind, here is a sample diet:
Meal 1 - 4 whole eggs + 1 oz full fat cheese + 4 strips bacon + 1/2 cup green veggies
Meal 2 - 1 large chicken breast (approx 8oz) + 2 oz melted cheese on top + sour cream to dip it in + side green salad w/ olive oil + vinegar
Meal 3 (or Post-workout meal) - 2 scoops of 100% whey protein isolate (no sugar variety - I recommend NOW! 100% whey isolate) w/ 2 tbsp peanut butter + 2 tbsp heavy cream
Meal 4 - 8 oz ground beef (90/10 lean) mixed with spices and stuffed into a large cooked green pepper with a couple tablespoons of tomato sauce on top and plenty of grated romano cheese
Meal 5 - 6 oz of sliced meats and cheese (any variety is acceptable - but make sure they are all full fat - no reduced fat varieties) w/ raw celery + cream cheese (4 stalks is good)
Meal 6 - 1 cup cottage cheese + 2 tbsp peanut butter + cinnamon + 1 tbsp heavy cream
You can obviously change things around as long as the basic structure is still there. Hope this helps!
edit:
OBVIOUSLY BE SURE TO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS!
