I am new to this site but I really like what it offers. I am 100% natural. Supplements are Multi vitamin, extra C, A and E, Glutamine, 5htp for sleep ( I really sleep sound on this stuff)

I used to be really fat around 271 with over 50% body fat. I was on medications for type2 diabetes, High BP, cholesterol, and depresson.

Now I weigh 195 with 13% body fat and keep that weight during the off season. I should say the winter season because I haven't competed yet. I want to compete next year. My lowest body fat was 7% but I was getting sick during carbloading and depletion because my sugar was getting too low.

I look forward to reading good information on this site.
