Yes, I reformulated my diet about 5 years ago and got into running combined with weight training. I went from a body weight of 235 down to 190LBS. I cut way down on the carbs and kicked my much loved dairy to the curve. I went from bench 315x6 to bench 315x1. My A1c dropped from pre-diabetic levels down to normal range. I had to hit a reset button cause I was getting way to heavy, knee pain back pain etc.I was into power lifting just as a hobby from about 18-35 years old. That mid 30s metabolism kicked in a ruined it all. I just could'nt keep all those mass protein shakes and extra calories burned off. My goal in the near future after I graduate from college, is to get more ripped and try to up my strength levels more.
