[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 152233, member: 38930"] Hi, I would say after 6 months on TRT I am close to dailled in, or at least the best I've been. Pre-TRT and during TRT I've had periods where I've trained every day, seen my strength and fitness go up (benching bodyweight, squad and deadlift 2x bodyweight, completed tough mudder, found it easy). In parallel I've been able to sustain disciplined intermittent fasting (16:8), and measuring calories and macros to created a deficit. I have an issue with belly fat not going down. SubQ fat levels are fine, just the mass of visceral fat. I admit I haven't been able to ratchet up the program, due to life with kids, not been a total spartan etc. My BP is in the pre-hyper range (134/84). I haven't checked fasting blood sugar or triglycerides, but I feel it's likely I'm in the territory of insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome. Seems to me if I can add metformin and stick on plan with the IF/HIIT/weights, having AMPK switched on might help, or at least worth a try. I have read and watched everything I can find, including the video where Jay and Nelson give their views. Anyone else been through this and had any luck with it? Forgot to mention, I am 47 years old. Also I do know that metformin will do very little by itself. I am also planning to cut carbs further than before (fruit, starches) and stop taking whey shakes (insulin spike). I never touch added sugar foods, and I'm 6 months into alcohol abstention. I've taken a year off booze before, but that didn't help that much. [/QUOTE]
