ParticipantHeh, I've already looked into this and I do cook more asian as well as my own native dishes. The odd thing is, the one kind of fat and grease that doesn't bother my system is bacon grease, so occassionally I give myself my favorite little treat. As far as my blood sugar, that is perfectly normal, strangely enough. It's my insulin that's high. 33.7 after fasting 6 hours, or just after waking in otherwords. Where as it shouldn't even spike that high after eating. I can't begin to imagine what it rises to when I eat, especially certain foods. Consequentially, I don't have much of a taste for sweets anymore like I used to before chemo. I do see a nutritionist this week hopefully though. My trainer gave me the name of a good one, as well as economical to fit even my pathetic budget. The challenge will be to actually manage a budget for a new diet. I just wish I had the luxury to eat more fresh foods more often. I may have to ask my mom for help in this task.

ParticipantActually, for me it's accidental. I went through aggressive chemotherapy when I was 18. Before chemo, I weighed 135lbs. After, I gained 110 pounds of the next few years because of hormonal disruptance. Today I just got the results back from bloodwork I had done last week and as suspected, my insulin levels are high. Normal range is 3-28, mine is at 33.7. My doc gave me a choice of seeing a nutritionist and trying a different diet or taking a pill. I told her I'd try the nutritionist first since I would need to see one anyway when I finally get to talk to my trainer about bodybuilding. Though there is a certain kind of fibre capsule my dad had gotten for me before that helped when my insulin would spike. Instead of taking a glucose tablet to balance it, I would take one of those and it would come down more easily without leaving me trembling and weak like the glucose did.

ParticipantAlso, there was a bunch of guys at the gym tonight, young, looked like they might be getting ready for something involving some sport at one of the schools…They weren't terribly friendly. I tried to be bright and cheery if one of them was looking at me, but mostly I just caught them giving me dirty looks. Especially these two bigger guys when they saw me go towards the dumbells, talking to each other while looking at me and shaking their heads….Not the usual vibe I get from the place…Kind of unwelcoming. They had their own cheerleader, too….This little petite girl with big boobs and a pixie body and glam makeup….She had on a cute little workout suit, but never actually touched any kind of machine or weight, she just encouraged the boys….I think I was expected to be more like her and not be trying to lift heavy things….That's what it felt like 🙂
Makes me glad the gym I go to has such a friendly atmosphere. There's always so many people that they stay open 23 hours on weekdays. You never see that kind of attitude there. Though it could be being in Louisiana too. You find a lot more friendly people in general here than you normally do in other places.

ParticipantWow! I only hope I can someday achieve a body like that, though I hope I can keep my boobs too! Honestly, I don't think I'd mind if I'd lose them to muscle, but lol would be nice to keep them too.

ParticipantI would say yeah about them carrying the weight, though with me the odd thing is, that and my forearms have so little fat on them compared to my upper arms and thighs. The more central a part of my body is, the more fat it bears, where my calves and forearms are lean. x_x And I was just feeling over my left pectoral this morning, there seems to be disruption in the muscle underneath my mediport scar. I just hope that doesn't interfere with how it developes.

ParticipantNot even a pic of your face? I could at least do a headswap. ^_^
Heh, I suppose I could look. Not sure I have anything decent.

ParticipantGot a pic? note me and I'll be more than glad to do a morph![besides, I haven't done any in a while!]
lol I would, but I have nothing to morph. I'm just a bit of muscle buried under a whole lot of fat.

Participant:: pounces Kulli with a nibble on her bicep :: Hee, I got a ways to go to get to your point even.
NecrochildK
Participant::drools:: Wow! If only it were possible to build up to a body like that!
