Restoring normoglycaemia by use of a very low calorie diet in long- and short-duration type 2 diabetes

4

A 2015 trial shows that a very low-calorie diet (<700 calories per day) can resolve Type 2 diabetes within one week in the majority of recent diabetics and within eight weeks in half of long-term diabetics. The regimen also was associated with significant improvements in blood pressure and lipid levels, which suggests such diets may be a potent and underutilized tool in diabetes treatment.

Imagine mixing the VLCD and CrossFit methodology and it's effect on T2D.

M/ 45/ 135 lbs

So I FINALLLY did this yesterday morning. I ran my dog in the woods for a nice long 5K ish run and jog and when I got back I figured why not bang this one out since it's almost all upper body and different.

I have not done ring MUs in a long time so wanted to give it a try.

My iPhone bonked out after the first round, so I ran back home and borrowed my kids. I wanted to wear earbuds while doing this but it was fine. A bit buggy but that just kept me walking around in the rests.

Rd 1: 14 (I did 7 round of 2s)

Rd 2: 15 ( I tried 5 rounds of 3s)

Rd 3: 14 (did the same as rnd 2 but failed on my last rep)

Rd 4: 13 (I did the same as last 2 rnds but I failed again)

Rd 5: 13 (I went for couplets and quick rebounds but I failed 2 times)

total of 69 reps.

Actually my back felt fine, but my wrists were really sore and get beat a bit. I do try to use a false grip. I was strict and not kipping but there was a bit of motion at the top just locking and coming down.

Well, for me, I was a definitely tired or drained later on in the day, but 69 MUs is a bit especially considering I ran for about 3 miles and I also did yard work, so understandable. I did almost no real warm up and post stretching which I'm big on, but wanted to be done. I did this outside off a basketball hoop and across the street. I love working out outside. not as serious and more fun.

Would love to know the level of activity of those involved in the research. Should be interesting to know if the VLCD supports or not high levels of activity. Very interesting stuff, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing.

Much better than I expected, though my transitions were getting ugly in the last 2 rounds. Lost a fair amount of skin on my left hand, but that always happens to me with high rep false grip.

I did more of a dynamic, kipping-style muscle up off a box or to a low bar to practice the transition and movement. Maybe it would have been more productive to do strict pull-ups and dips?


5 x 4 x 4 x 4 x (off box) and 9 (lower bar)

Went off script.


"Twins"


Two rounds, of each couplet, for time of:

750 meter Row

20 Handstand Push-ups


115 pound Thruster, 20 reps

20 L-Pull-ups


As rx’d, 22:30 (PR).


Had hoped to do this in about 20 minutes. Felt good through the first couplet. Rows at ~1:55 pace. Broke HSPU 10-5-5 each round. Just got smoked in the second couplet. Both thrusters and L-pull-ups took longer than anticipated. Thrusters 10-5-5 and 9-6-5. First round, shoulders were tired coming out of the HSPUs. Second round, shoulders felt better but I was dying. Tried to do L-pull-ups in sets of 5, which worked until middle of the second round. Had to go to singles at the end. 7 ½ minutes better than last time (10 years ago). Holy smokes, 10 years!

I’m going to do the strict muscle ups on rings but with heels on a box to reduce wait and provide something to push off if necessary. For me the pulling power and transition are the weakness. The dip is the easy part.

Here are some thoughts on this workout and scaling:

I expect higher level athletes to accumulate a high volume of reps. I could be wrong, but I could see some athletes accumulate 40-50+ reps. I will utilize movement modifications, for my athletes, that keeps their movement strict. For athletes that can do some strict muscle-ups, but cannot achieve more than 3-5 reps each round, I may have them accumulate a designated number of reps or attempts each round before moving to a challenging movement modification for the remainder of the round.

The main muscle-up scale will be to perform a low-ring muscle-up drill where athletes keep their feet on the ground and straighten the legs, with the feet in front of the rings. The further the feet are away from the rings, the harder the movement will be. This movement seems easy at first glance, but, when performed in a controlled fashion, it can provide a pretty significant challenge. The difficulty of this movement can be further increased by elevating the feet on a box.

If an athlete cannot perform muscle-ups with straight legs and feet on the ground, I will opt to have them perform rounds of 5 false grip ring rows and 5 scaled ring dips for the two minute duration. I typically have these athletes perform a leg-assisted muscle-up, but I am going to change things up with the ring row and dip combo today.

Commented on: Restoring normoglycaemia by use of a very low calorie diet in long- and short-duration type 2 diabetes

"Small sample size". Is it really a limitation here? I'd suggest not. The study shows that the intervention was effective in 29/30 participants. And the one for whom it was not effective did not comply with the study protocol. So that's 100% effective for people who follow instructions. How many more participants would be needed to make the findings definitive? 10? 20? 100? 1000? It's like asking how many apples did Newton need to see fall from his tree to prove universal gravitation. How many smokers need to die of lung cancer or heart disease to prove the link between smoking and premature mortality?


Based on fundamentals of inferential statistics and probability theory (e.g. the law of large numbers), I'd suggest that we can be quite confident that this study's results justify conclusions that have better than chance predictive value. Reducing calories is an incredibly effective treatment for type 2 diabetes.

In a practical sense, you're entirely right. I am convinced based on this study that in - at the very least - a very large share of the diabetic population, significant caloric reduction can lead to rapid improvements and even resolution. If there is any value in a larger sample, it would be to find whether there are a small number of exceptions in the population that don't respond, or respond with side effects. But this is also data that could be gathered in clinical practice, so long as patients are monitored properly. Thank you for the comment, it's a great point.

Intended Stimulus

.

High Skill + High Volume = Sneaky Intensity. Today is all about working hard, and focusing on quality of movement. Your brains and your body will get a good dose of awesome. Today scaling is very, very important. Whatever you are doing we want to preserve the following things: 1) the specific movement pattern (muscle up); 2) strictness; 3) integrity of movement at high reps. It will be hard to estimate your capacity in this movement, so have scaling options ready in case on your third round you cannot really do any more reps. If in the 1st round, you get 10 reps, but in the 4th and 5th you are fighting for 2, it will be almost certain that those last reps will be on the shitty side, and you will be taking way too much rest. Scale! If you don't have a strict muscle up on the rings yet, you can still achieve the stimulus we want if you select the right drills. Below are some options that I think will do the trick, but make sure to check @pamelagnon's youtube channel for even more ideas.

2 minutes of strict muscle-ups

3 minutes of rest

2 minutes of strict ring pull-ups + strict ring dips (any combination you want)

2 minutes of strict ring dips

3 minutes of rest

2 minutes of box strict muscle-ups

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

This is a similar format to how I’ve been treating the max effort days, except we’ve been doing tons and tons of rounds. The set rest means there’s intended to be a stamina factor… which also means that this workout is for athletes with an elite level of gymnastics strength. I am not included in this mix, so instead of doing modified versions of this, or even kipping ones, I’ll sub strict burpees (strict push-up, feet together) for this. Then I’ll practice the muscle-ups either before or after.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF:


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — as is, just double or triple the rest

Stamina — unless you’re in that muscle-up club, try two rounds each of pull-ups and dips — 2 mins on, 3 off,

Endurance — the burpee scale in the rant would be good, just don’t be as strict on the push-up and add an extra minute of rest

Flexibility — put 15 minutes on the timer and practice muscle-up transitions. That is a deep dip that needs to be primed.


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — as is except kipping muscle-ups instead of strict

Accuracy — put 15 minutes on the clock, mix kipping and strict muscle-ups, and make it a goal to fail the least amount of attempts as possible.

Agility — do sport-specific practice then do this after. Or before.

Balance — spend some time at the top of the muscle-up to work on ring support


GROUP VERSION:

Check the rant, or do a 20-min. team workout where one partner does a 200m run while the other practices muscle-up transitions.


WARMUP:

Either use this as a 15-minute warmup if you’re behind in the cycle and need to catch up, or take the time to practice a lot of things you suck at.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 2 as written because it’s going to be a lot of down time for people. 5 with the burpee sub
