WTF - I've gained 6 pounds and DID NOT CHEAT!

Thanks, Alex!

I love to learn about the body so that’s part of the journey. The other part is that now that I’m 50, it’s like trying to figure out an entirely new (or let’s just say different) body at times.

Here’s the skinfold caliper I’ve been using.

Body by science talks about cardio being potentially catabolic to type 2 muscle, hard on the joints etc. It’s a good read. Sounds like hyperinsulon. Sounds like our visitor was not insulin resistant so the fat came off easy with the weight lifters ideas, most of which are not insulin resistant either.

So, changing things up for the next 3 months then I’ll retest.

1. Will incorporate IF and regular fasting into my plan
2. Will reduce the amount of red wine I consume (my only vice…)
3. Will reduce the steady state cardio and replace with HIIT (jump rope) and weight training

Hi there! I just read through this thread and would love to hear how things are going for you! Did you make the changes you mentioned, and if so, what have your results been so far?
