Nutrition and training advice

[Guest guest]

I came to the supertraining group through the United States Olympic

Weightlifting Team website.

I wanted to join because I am a powerlifter in need of advice. I am 33 year

old; 5 feet 7 1/2 inches 235 lbs. Last year I was diagnosed with diabetes and

my doctor wants me to go down to 175 lbs. I'd like to learn how to be fit

and healthy but still be strong in my powerlifting efforts at 175 lbs. I have

a hard time balancing cardio, nutrition, and training. If I do too much

cardio my seated behind neck press, bench press, squat, deadlift go down in

lbs.

lifted. If I don't do any cardio I can't lose weight according to my

doctor. Should I consult a sports nutritionist? In my teens and twenties I

did

very little cardio; just the gym workouts forcused on the powerlifts and

supporting exercises.

I am just looking for training and nutrition advice.

Thank you.
