If you are altering your body's natural processes with drugs then all expectations change.
Why would you eat 400g of table sugar a day?
I'd be interested to know what your factors are that are noted as being an indication of metabolic syndrome.
I'm on "sports TRT" pretty much. Roids but no GH.
I have had catastrophic abdominal obesity for a long time. Ate absurd amounts of sugars and carbs for decades with zero consideration wrt health. Periodically extra insulin on top. No excuses, just what I did. When I've had my a1c, and of course fasting glucose tested it's always been normal, amazingly enough. I had pancreatitis in December of last year, it cleared up, but last about 3 months I again started feeling something was wrong. I was losing weight, appetite was poor, but I could drink Cokes so I drank up 12 cans a day to try to stop the weight loss. I also drank a lot of RTDs and 2 solid meals where I tried to eat fatty meats with gravy and so on. But I got amazingly lean for the first time in my life, I mean who can't do subq insulin shots in the belly due to there being no fat? LOL. Doctors didn't think the illness itself changed my metabolism, I must have simply eaten less, but I kinda doubt that.
When I was fat I could sometimes shoot a large dose of insulin and not eat so my insulin sensitivity must have been absolute shit. I don't know how much damage my lifetime consumption of sugar has done to my body, must be considerable, but I don't have high cholesterol or trigs, my HDL though is low due to roids. Currently my insulin sensitivity is extremely high based on my reaction to comparatively very low doses of injected insulin and it's working very well for what I'm using it for.
I'm trying to change my eating habits at this very late stage of my life. It's cool being lean, always thought it was ideal but couldn't muster the motivation to actually get lean. Now that I'm lean let's see if I can keep it
