[Stayinfit]

hey guys I need help and this is the only place I could think of because of all the experience from some of you in bodybuilding or fitness.I have a client that I've been training for 8 weeks and in those 8 weeks she has lost 26 pounds she's excited and has been telling everybody about her diet and training that I have her doing. she is doing a ketogenic diet and weight training along with HIIT cardio. she's not the reason for this post a friend of hers who has been watching her change wants me to help her now as well she is type 1 diabetic which means of course she isn't producing I know if insulin to shuttle the sugars or glucose around the bloodstream into the cells. do any of you have any experience with the nutrition side of this the macros obviously she cannot get on a ketogenic diet so we need to really watch her carbohydrate intake. do type 1 diabetics have to consume simple sugars or can they consume complex carbs only if so this shouldnt be a big problem right? hall health and life is truly appreciated the site is the only 1 that I would get information from you guys keep it real thank you

She can definately eat a ketogenic diet, she just needs to adjust her insulin dosage accordingly.

She should contact IFBB Pro and Type 1 diabetic (since age 11) Colette Nelson via her website Colette Nelson - THe Official Website

Colette is a genius at helping athletes manage their diabetes while attaining their goals, her consult is very reasonable and it will be the best few bucks she ever spent.

I cant recommend Colette strongly enough, she is a wizard.

Stay,

I'd be happy to help. I've been a type 1 Diabetic for 48 years and have been competing since 1979.

First comment I'll make is that no one should be on a keto diet. Long term it is very hard on the body, especially the kidneys. People will defintely lose weight on a keto diet but rebound is guaranteed.

One can get their BF% very low without ever being in ketosis. It's really not a healthy place to be.

Complex carbs are much better than simple. I eat almost no simple - only if I have a sudden BS low. I would need to know her insulin protical, bodyweight,
desired bodyweight, and current exercise and nutritional proticol.

It would also be very helpful to know her A1C, cholesterol, LDL, HDL and how long has she been diabetic and how many times a day she checks her blood sugar. If she doesn't have her blood work done every 3 months, that's s big problem. If that's the case, I would insist she has it done before advising her.

Send along the info and I'll do my best to help steer the ship.

TRAIN,

Mack
