I just started going to the gym this past Tuesday. The trainer there told me that I have to lower my body fat, in other words burn fat. He started me on some Cardiovascular, Abdominal and some Weight Resistance Exercises. I am probably going to this gym for about 3 months, which is what is in plan right now. I want to loose my body fat not so much weight. I am 27, 5"5' and 168 lbs.
I have a question though. He wants me to cut fats and eat more protein. He suggested going to GNC and buying one of those Protein powder mixers which works taking it at morning and at evening plus one more right after exercising.
For those who might know, being Type 2 Diabetic, would taking this protein supplement hurt me more than helping? Or would you suggest something else. I am already following somewhat of a diet
, not eating fatty foods and avoiding carbs, etc. Mostly eating baked or boiled foods and if fried using Olive Oil, but nothing breaded. I mostly eat Chicken and Fish not so much meat. I eat small green salads with most meals and if I eat pasta, its a limited amount of Multi-Grain Vitamin Enriched.
I don't want to run this by my doctor just yet cause he will be against anything I am doing most of the time. I want to see what you all suggest and then explain to him. What do you think?
