So I'm trying to figure out why, even tho I continue to lift weights, I've lost muscle tone and now I'm noticing my lifts are not as 'heavy' as they used to be (indicating to me I'm losing strength)...
I LIKE the look of muscle. but i don't want muscle at the expense of health. And if i was just as strong as i used to be and didn't look muscular, i'd be OK with that (i think.....).
but to feel like i'm losing strength AND to not LOOK muscular is making me mad!
Before I was aware of my blood sugar issues, i would consume about 125g protein/day. Now i'm taking in about 60g.
do I hear you SUGGEST that i can get STRONG and muscular using Fast5 AND eating high(er) protein?
if so, then i need to figure out how to consume more protein and keep my blood sugar stable.
I find that if i eat 4 oz of meat and don't have enough fat w/it, m BS goes up. perhaps the answer is to have more fat...
I also find it difficult to eat as much as i'd 'need' to w/in a 5-hr eating window... As always, looking FWD to others' input...
