Let me be honest…I’m feeling downright frustrated!!! With all the eating, hard training, anabolic support for past 28 days my weight has only gone up by 1 kg. And I’m not a hard gainer by any chance. I grew on from 78 to 96 kg. just on food and supplements and of course training.
I feel very sleepy and tired these days and especially after carb meals. My pre-cycle blood check up did indicate my fasting blood sugar at 119 mg/dL (d doc said it’s ok…u just need to do mild exercise!)…Anyways went to another Diabetologist today and checked up…still fasting blood sugar at 107 mg/dL. which in a nut shell means my Insulin sensitivity is messed up. The Doc says u can have half a potato, half a cup of rice etc. no sugar, no juices…blah…blah…
Now I’m wondering, 1. Can reduced Insulin sensitivity halt muscle gains?
2. What do i do about the 400 gms of carbs I’d included into my daily gain diet?
BTW, let me just put down the Diet I’m following right now:
As you may observe, Rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes etc. were my major ingredients for carbs. What do i do now!!!
My Sustanon250 cycle is now in it’s 4th week. What do i do about that…as in should I continue the cycle as is and re-adjust my diet plan…or I get going with PCT, get on with another diet plan, observe results and then re-start another cycle?
Please provide you valuable opinions…also if you have any information about how Diabetics go about Gain and cutting would be really helpful…
You taking just 1 cc of sust a week? How are you dosing it? I cannot comment of your diet /health questions.
I know even with the prop ester in sust, you really don’t see any results until week 4 of cycle( at least that’s been my experience). You should start seeing some solid gains over the next 6 weeks.
Total calories a day is almost 4000? At 200lb? My maintain. Caloric intake is at 3500 at 210lbs so gaining about 2 lbs is about right especially if you’re training hard. Although I would expect to see you gain at least 5 lbs in water weight relatively quickly. Are you running an AI?
I would try taking in carbs mostly at preWo and pro. Keeping moderate through out the day. You may need to post this in the supplement section as I think Biotest has some supps for insulin sensitivity.

I’m running Sust250 at 125mg EOD…u r right about the water weight…i’m running Femara at a very low dose E2D for AI…i can actually notice d difference in Bloating…
Maybe I should get one of those blood sugar meters and test at regular intervals to determine my Insulin sensitivity and decide how to go about it.
BTW do u think reduced Insulin sensitivity can hamper Gains on a diet high in Carbs?

Sust took over a month to kick in for me…be patient.
If your working out hard and not gaining - EAT MORE!
Just my 2 cents - best of luck [/quote]
Finally got out of depression and went for a light training day Chest, Shoulder, Triceps…maybe after 4 days. And I observed something strange: Now that I’m scared to eat carbs most of the day was Peanut Butter, Whey, Creatine & Glutamine. Had Oats for breakfast and pre-workout…2-3 Arabic bread for Lunch with chicken nd eggs.
So as you may see all the rice & sweet potatoes have gone out d window
But I felt much fresher and happier training today…feel dumb why i didn’t think clearer before it came this far!
Anyways, trying hard to get a > 4000 calorie diet using carbs only in morning and around workout.
