I was wondering if there is a way to take insulin with the effect of building muscle faster but not the fat? I want to get leaner and muscular. Thoughts, has anyone tried any approaches? |
Here's an idea. It may not be sexy and fast, but it will work.
The secret to getting fitter, to getting in better shape, the secret is putting in the time and working at it.
If you want to get leaner, you need to watch what you eat.
If you want to get more muscular, you'll need to do strength training, you can use weights or bodyweight exercises for that.
I think it's dangerous when people and we're all susceptible to this, think about how can we shortcut the process. When we think, "Instead of thinking how if I work at it for year where will I be, how can I maybe just mess around with how I dose my insulin to have everything happen faster?"
From what I've been able to do and learn about over the past year, I think guys like Ross Enamait have good programs to teach people about the principles behind getting in better shape, becoming more fit, more muscular, and losing fat. Stonglifts.com is another decent site with good advice.
Following those principles and working at them consistently will make you leaner and more muscular as long as you follow your diabetic responsibilities of doing your best to make your metabolism function like the normal population's.
