Hi there,
I’m a T1D & have lost a little over 20lbs over the past year by CICO. It’s worked very smoothly for me. During that time I would eat breakfast (banana, PB) and then work out for ~1 hr & do the same with a snack later in the day or after dinner. Burning around 400-500/day through exercise (then and now) & eating at or below maintenance, depending on the day. Slow & steady, all good. Recently, I’ve been doing the same but have been exercising a little more because ~plague quarantine~. However, my scale has stalled completely for weeks & even is fluctuating upward 0.5-1lb on various days.
So, my question is, should I not snack/eat immediately prior to working out (unless my blood sugar is lower than 100)? Is eating immediately prior to working out causing me to only burn glucose instead of fat? Should I wait until my insulin from my last meal has run its course & then lower my basal rate—will that allow my body to burn fat more efficiently?
I’m on an insulin pump. I’m also at a healthy weight, so I’m not sure if now my body is just over losing weight (I only want to lose a couple more pounds). If it is relevant, I do eat a pretty healthy diet (high fiber, fruits, veggies).
I can’t find a clearly written answer to this online. Thanks in advance for anyone’s advice! :)
