Newbie diabetic needs diet help
Hello all, I am diabetic, fat, and trying to get in shape. I am working out 5 days a week with some guidance from a trainer. Mostly just cardio right now with a little bit of lifting. I had my diabetes/blood sugar under control with diet alone until about 7 months ago. Then all of a sudden my sugars blew up and I had to go on to insulin. I gained 60 pounds in 3 months,Shit... I was down to 205 pounds at that time and blew up to 265. I am down to 242 now but am not losing weight like I want to. Especially with working out like I have been I feel like it should be coming off at a good pace and its not. I read the diabetes diet thread on here and it seems like a good start but I wasnt real clear on it and thought that perhaps some of you could help me cater one to me a little better. I am no longer on insulin but do inject victoza to control my sugars. I also inject 1.25 cc's of testot enan( for delatestryl) per week for low testosterone as prescribed by the Dr.. I have been eating just meat and green veggies pretty much. I have been drinking a forza pro shake for breakfast, eating an egg and a piece of ham for break, a piece of meat and a salad for lunch, some fruit for break, work out, drink a forza pro shake and then some meat and green veggies for dinner. I like the shakes and would like to keep them if they arent hurting me. I do not know what my body fat is but am working on finding out. I googled body fat calculator and used 2 different ones and one said that my body fat was 19% and one 16%. I now believe those things are useless beacuse if I looked like the pictures of those body fat types I wouldnt be near so worried as I am. My TDEE is 3421.935. I am sure I left something out but feel like I have rambled on. Thank you in advance for any help.
