Carb Sensitivity

Diet and Nutrition
1

Hello,

I’ve recently realized I’m very carb sensitive and am trying to find a way to best put on muscle mass/weight gain while minimizing the carb sensitivity.

I had begun Chris Shugarts’ Quality Mass Diet, and based on my stats (5’8" 165), began consuming about 3300 calories a day. But I realized I had to cut back on carbs, yet still wanted to get the weight up.

So, I’ve drastically reduced my carb intake (except for PWO shake), eating all P & F meals. I’ve maintained the 3300 calorie intake as before.

DOes this sound like a logical way of managing the carb issue while still attempting to put weight/muscle mass on?

I was wondering if age also may play a factor into this (I’m 46 years old).
Thanks to anyone who can offer advice.

Sounds good to me. You may to Spike your insulin PWO as well as early in the morning.

It will depend on you. You are more carb tolerant in the morning, so if you are having difficulty getting all P+F meals, this may also be an option.

Other than that, you have identified the problem, and are implementing the solution.

A lot of people who have adrenal health problems are pretty sensitive to carbohydrates.
