Hey everyone, Just want to introduce myself. I am a personal trainer/nutritionist that works with people of all types to help them reach their goals. Honestly when it comes to how the body works and the whole health and fitness thing I am a nerd so I like to learn and share information. I saw this site and became interested and joined to make myself available to those who have questions or need advice. By all means feel free to ask me anything that you think I can help with. I am not trying to sell my services or get new clients but I am available for that as well, but I am not going to push that to anyone on here because I know people like that are a pain in the ass. I also have a website www.hodgeapp.com and a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC26tio4S7ItMr0tJLbo6q-A that i just started showing some of the interesting people I train lol, as well as give some insight here and there. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this and I hope I can be of some help.

I want to get into lifting. I read the blog. I want to do this. The primal diet sounds up my alley for the most part (I will have to have a sad funeral for a package of Oreos of course, but I suppose the grief will subside in time). My main question for you guys is this: Has anyone else on here done Primal/Paleo and lifting with a diagnosis of Insulin Resistance? According to my doctor and nutritionist, I am SUPPOSED to eat carbs at meals, though very small amounts. And never as snacks. The idea is that my body needs some carbs to process insulin and keep my levels steady. I am supposed to only have whole grains though. Wait, I came up with another question: Do you guys think I could lift while still eating carbs with meals? I would be eating mostly veggies and proteins otherwise. Thoughts?
