Leg muscles have become very weak, and I feel they shouldn't be. I am 76, and work out almost regularly--walking, riding stationary bike, leg raises, toe raises, and hamstring exercises. I take a very popular statin drug daily (1/2 pill every evening), and in spite of all the exercise seem to be getting weaker.
Also: You need to increase your Co-enzyme 10, you need more on statin type meds or herbs. That is part of your body's process in converting food to energy. If you are having no other side effects than weakness CO10 is where I would start.
Its all about cutting carbs as fat is not the problem bad carbs are they reckon cut out all the bad carbs and eat more fat and we wouldnt be having all these illnesses you will see that this is going to be the way forward already here they have started to "tax" sugary drinks then watch this space ALL sugars will be taxed so we may be down alleys buying sugar off drug dealers instead of cocaine! I was on a sugarfree diet for a year and i have to say felt like a new person fitter slimmer and funny didnt have sugar cravings? Chromium is very good for sugar cravings but once youre off it two weeks you will be amazed that you dont even crave it. Ok just wish id stuck to it but i will go off it again. Diet and excercise can cure alot of these illnesses and the pharmaceuticals know damn well but wheres the money in a healthier population? even here there is now HUGE debate over this as our medical system cant cope with all the illnesses and diabetes is now the biggest killer here and its escalating even in young children YEP back to sugar and processed food again. Its all about going back to real food meat and veg and fruit!
