does it make sense to use insulin

Here's my plan.Strict low carb diet.Twice a week a balls to the walls work-out followed my high carb/protein liquid meal.Then take blood surgar level
and inject insulin and hgh.I'm a type two diabetic.My understanding is that the slin will transport nutrients into the cell and the hgh will do the same for the proteins.If this is a workable plan,I'd think I'd get mass gain from the weight training and weight loss(no mass loss,only fat) from the low carb diet.Also,I'd supplement
my weight training with light to moderate cardio.After the work-outs I'd take a full day off.Then build up to a moderate cardio daily.Then I'd start the process again.I'd be using hgh twice a week,after the weight training.Thx kneedeep0.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mr. Test--any relation to David Allen?

Gorky--milk thistle extract helps your liver dump glucose, so you can get into ketosis faster. Also, dropping your carbs to 0, and exercising like a madman (there's no other way, right?) will help.

KWK--I'm glad you're having success for Atkins, but remember, most everyone here is a bodybuilder. Atkins is also very hard to maintain in the real world, I think. Here's a link to some other sound diets (I like Isocaloric) should you ever want to think of changing.\

Mr Testosterone - Don't forget that most people on atkins do not want to be body builders. I agree, atkins is not the way to go if you want to look like Fabio.

I'm on Atkins for a few reasons.

1) I'm tired of being unhealthy
2) Genetically i'm high risk for heart disease, diabeties and cancer
3) My major is Criminal Justice and by job will require being physically sound.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being on Atkins. There isn't a single documented case where an Atkins patient suffered kidney failure, heart disease, or any nutritional deficency while eating the Atkins way.

If being on Atkins for over a year was so bad, then there would be 10's of thousands of people dropping dead. Atkins isn't really a diet, its a change in life long habits. If your "on" Atkins, your never off.

I understand what you are saying. My main point in posting my response was in reference to the original post. That person obviously has acquired some muscle mass and probably wants to hold on to it. Do I think Atkins is a good program for the average guy, one whose only concern is to drop bodyfat? Yes, although I feel there are certainly better methods. The main problem I have with the Atkins program, as I said before, is the monstrous consumption of O6 fats with little emphasis on O3 fats. So, add some flax or fish oils, and I have no problems with the diet so long as the person is not a typical bodybuilder. The SKD is not for athletes or bodybuilders concerned with maintaining muscularity and strength. If I came off as being hostile, I apologize, but I still do not care much for the program.

BTW, no relation to David Allen. Coe's my first name

If you say that Atkins diet is not for a body builder then what is a good diet for a BB other than CKD???

 

[keiko]

Isocaloric works great, try my link for more info.

THE METABOLIC DIET

You don't have to be in a ketogenic state to drop bodyfat (see my post on insulin sensitivity). Most people do quite well on a restricted-calorie diet that incorporates all of the macronutrients. Making subtle changes in the diet such as replacing a portion of one's carb calories with O3 fat calories is one way to do it.

If you are sold on the keto diet, go with a CKD or a TKD. Personally, the TKD is my favorite among the ketoes, but it is all a matter of how each person will respond to a specific diet. While one person may do extremely well on Bod Opus, another person may do just as well on a (much less painful) restricted-cal diet.
