Another reason those
steroids may be worth avoiding. You know..besides the fact that they might interfere with the treatment.
The
metformin file keeps-a-building. It being a caloric restriction mimetic seems to fit right into what you are seeking. If you really want to know if the
carbs and sugar you do consume are keeping you from ketosis, there are keto strips available at Walgreens in the diabetic supply area. If metabolism and insulin sensitivity is askew, you might be surprised what it takes diet-wise to avoid contributing to the issue. Glycemic index of some fruits can be surprising. If you have Stevia and unsweetened baking
chocolate, you can make an extremely low carb chocolate fix with a microwave. Just made some using stevia and Ghirardelli 100% cocoa chips and a bit of peanut butter.
You mentioned previously avoiding
green tea because of caffeine. There are plenty of decaf green teas and decaf green tea supplements like
Capsibiol: decaf green tea combined with synergizing capsaicin...another supplement thought to regulate metabolism.
I'd be wary of testosterone supplementation since there seems to be some suggestion of androgen receptors in breast cancer.
Glutamine seems to be a supplement offered to cancer patients to offset muscle wasting.
Again, there is suggestion that weight resistance training may help in metabolic matters more than cardio. Jumping rope for a half hour straight seems like a lot...especially on a hard surface (back,joints). Some feel too much excercise can actually trigger inflammation and reduce immune system functioning. (Yes..I can hear the couch potatoes cheering)
