Hey sorry for the upcoming long post but need some help from any experienced lifters with similar diet.
I've always been an Easy Gainer and ate like a Horse, Problem was when lockdown kicked in I continued to eat like a horse but wasn't burning it off. This along with my Genetic Disposition led to me getting Type 2 Diabetes.
I was diagnosed in the January and by the time I got my next blood test which was a few months later I had reversed my Diabetes all down to the LCHF diet it's very restrictive but it really agrees with me.
Anyways in the this time I also cut a lot of fat and with hard workouts have managed to retain quite a decent amount of Muscle which I'm surprised about due to the lack of Carbs and drastic diet change.
Anyways very shortly when I reach my Bodyfat% I'll be looking to go back to bulking/gaining and have no idea how to approach it now that I'm diabetic.
My two biggest issues or concerns are Low Carb can I still make massive gains and How can I gain without gaining too much fat... not from a vanity POV but purely because Fat gain is almost as bad for diabetics as eating the wrong foods.
Do I just bulk for a month then cut for 2 months ? this way I limit how Fat I get or is this going to be pointless in terms of gains ? how much can be gained in a month ?
Do I long bulk and just increase my current eating a tiny bit this way its very slow gains and very slow fat gain ?
I'm completely stumped on how to approach this... I dont lift to get nice and tones I lift to get bigger so the idea of just lifting and never making any gains would greatly get to me.
Any advice would be great and sorry again for the long post but needed to be clear on what I'm wanting to achieve and the obstacles.
Thanks.
