Supertraining

Dear Edwin,

I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis but very happy to hear that you are 
still training.� I believe that you can do a lot with your diet to improve your 
weight loss as well as assist with improving your diabetic symptoms - I don't 
think it all comes down to how many miles you run on the treadmill - in fact 
weight lifting is the best way to�boost your metabolism over a longer period 
and so should be assisting you with weightloss.� I would strongly recommend 
seeing a sports nutritionist as they will be more sympathetic to your training 
goals whilst still being able to make dramatic changes to your diet and 
condition.

I wish you good luck and�keep training!

Kind Regards
Alex Howe

Subject: [Supertraining] Nutrition and training advice



I came to the supertraining group through the United States Olympic
Weightlifting Team website.

I wanted to join because I am a powerlifter in need of advice. I am 33 year
old; 5 feet 7 1/2 inches 235 lbs. Last year I was diagnosed with diabetes and
my doctor wants me to go down to 175 lbs. I'd like to learn how to be fit
and healthy but still be strong in my powerlifting efforts at 175 lbs. I have
a hard time balancing cardio, nutrition, and training. If I do too much
cardio my seated behind neck press, bench press, squat, deadlift go down in lbs.
lifted. If I don't do any cardio I can't lose weight according to my
doctor. Should I consult a sports nutritionist? In my teens and twenties I did
very little cardio; just the gym workouts forcused on the powerlifts and
supporting exercises.

I am just looking for training and nutrition advice.
