There's good and bad cholesterol eggs have some of the good kind
What is the difference of good and bad cholesterol?
IIRC bad cholesterol build up basically just blocks blood flow and leads to heart attacks and good cholesterol basically takes bad cholesterol to the liver to clean it out
HDL cholesterol is the good kind, LDL is the bad kind. Basically if you eat a balanced diet you probably won’t have to worry about high levels of bad cholesterol unless you have some kind of genetic disposition to it or you don’t exercise
Also there’s been studies showing that a KETO diet can reduce your bad cholesterol levels, which contradicts a lot of other studies that basically say “meat and eggs bad cuz muh cholesterol”
Always see who funded a study to get more insight into these contradicting findings
That’s why is so confusing, the contradictions. I appreciate the explanation tho gents. I just want to keep my cardiovascular system and heart healthy because it’s the biggest killer by far in America. I guess it’s best to not over complicate this. Pretty much don’t eat a lot of unhealthy sugar laden food, fast food, keep red meat to a minimum, eat mostly fruits and veggies. Would you say that’s the right idea?
Ah, and workout
Yeah basically, eat good, non processed foods in reasonable amounts. Cardio exercise is also good for your cardiovascular health (who would’ve guessed)
the quickest way to lose weight is to just stop eating. After the 3rd day you don’t even get hungry anymore and you will lose 10+ pounds a week not even working out
But is that the healthiest way?
not at all.
204 lbs and 20% bodyfat according to the body scan that I got today... not bad considering it's bulking season. But time to get even bigger and stronger 💪🏻
I'll be happy with ~208-210 by New Years
What are people's opinions on collagen supplementing?
Bone broth has it among other things, yes?
I have used both. I put collagen supplement in my coffee.
I’ve been taking the YouTheory brand men’s collagen. I like their whole product line. Check them out if you get a chance. I’ve seen it at all supplement shops and on amazon
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN - yes bone broth is a good source of collagen
I've considered trying Primal Fuel collagen supplement by Mark Sissan, which was recommended by David Duke on a JF livestream. His website (mark's daily apple) is a great resource for nutrition as well
Does anyone have experience with a long term fast? Was there anyting you wished you knew before had?
Are you going to be drinking saltwater?
My go to is poweraid zero. I can increase salt
If you're doing an extended fast you should just be drinking water and salt- you'll need sodium and potassium to maintain electrolytes and avoid cramping/being totally miserable.
Per 2l of water use 1tsp of KCl (can be bought at grocery stores, "NoSalt") and 1/2 a tsp of NaCl
Most people prefer Himalayan pink salt for the added minerals but any will do
Thank you for the info!
Good luck with your fasting brah
👍
SNAKE JUICE 🐍 🍹
Is there a reason why you can’t use power aid zero?
I’m also interested in extended fasting
I don't really know, bud. Sodium and potassium are all you really need for an extended fast, which is why 'snake juice' is recommended. But at the end of the day you need to do what works for you.
Power aid zero contains sucralose (tldr. basically splenda). So if you don't have a problem with that, shrug.
You would have to drink a LOT of poweraid zero to get all that potassium and sodium. Fake sugars such as sucralose, erythritol, stevia, have not been extensively tested in regards to affecting insulin levels, which is part of the point of fasting
Wow that snake juice guy is intense. I'll try that stuff.
Redroof me on fluoride in the water is it just a meme?
It's a neurotoxin. The majority of countries in the west dont fluoridate their water and their rates of tooth decay have decreased at the same levels of non-fluoridated countries as time has gone on, so theres no real reason to do it for teeth health
lol I love the snake juice guy. He is hilarious https://youtu.be/KxcshsSXQO8
I understand there may be humor to be found by some in the above video, but I couldn't listen to that guy dropping F bombs for 5 minutes
