You might also contact Donna Rose and ask her. She was a wrestler as Dave and has lost much of her bulk, though she is wrestling again as Donna.

Thanks Andrea. From what iI've know about working out and bodybuilding, I figured I would need to do the negative of that - in which is what you recomended. I just didnt know the time frame and such on how to do it. I'm curious as I will start this process this comming Monday 7/26/10 and will blog about it. How do you think this will affect a few things:

A. Will the fasting effect the effects of the HRT I am takingin a negative or positive manor?
B. How will this affect my glucose levels as a diabetic?
C. Being a diabetic my glusoce was never "great", as it was always high. I notice I have to do about an hour of cardio daily just to keep my glucose steady (although not great) due to the estradiol effect on insulin regulation and production

I hear that if your a diabetic, HRT is hard on you because it raises your blood glucose levels. As I have also heard that many tg & ts become diabetics later on during their transition, especially if you are predispositioned for diabetes since it has a genetic family connection.

D. How much water should I drink? And what is considered too much?
E. What exactly are you eating that consists of 1400 Calories?
F. So I should continue to do the cardio, just bump it over an hour like you said 60-90 minutes @ a brisk walk.
G. One week on the fast, then one week una desired weight is achieved?

I think this will work well for me since I am layed off currently and have nothing but time :)


Thanks in advance,
