Over the past year, I have increased my protein intake considerably. Although I have not taken a DEXA scan, instead relying on my usual bodyfat calipers, it is clear I have added muscle mass. I had promised myself not to try to lose any body weight until one year post accident. Now, I am trying to decide whether to go back to LCHF for some months to shed 20-25 pounds. But am worried I might lose power.
I've heard David Sinclair speak about his metformin use. From what I understand he takes it as a longevity drug rather than to lower blood sugar specifically. I do not remember the specifics.
