There is no such thing as a heart rate "Fat Burning Zone". Fat burning only works in the absence of insulin; insulin is only low in absence of blood glucose and glycogen in the muscles/liver; this generally only happens first thing in the morning. The moment you start eating/drinking food with any g...

Just a few comments, in support of my original post. 1. WRT Dr. Cywes. Being a bariatric surgeon does not preclude expertise in other areas. E.g., Dr Jason Fung - nephrologist, Professor Tim Noakes - university professor and ultra marathon runner, Gary Taubes - Harvard trained nuclear physicist who ...

I have been where you are and the cure is to lower your carbohydrate intake. Metformin is not a cure - it merely manages the symptom; the problem with metformin is that it causes weight gain - about 10lb a year. Your problem is almost certainly chocolate and alcohol, and those "hidden carbs" in heal...

Many thanks for the responses; some good solid advice there. The advice from my GP has been non-specific - "well, from your past activities, you seem to know what you are doing but, at your age you have to realise that unexpected things can happen - just don't do too much".

Old, as in 74 years old; two heart attacks, 2008 and 2010; reduced lung function from previous asthma; weight 83kg and height 1.78m. I used to be a fit climber; summited Mont Blanc for my 70th birthday as a final gesture - but Covid-19 put paid to all that. How does one re-start? Medical advice has ...
