I've been going through a lot of peanut putter, because vegetables on their own can be pretty bland
honestly, with all the peanut butter I've been eating, I don't even know if I'm in ketosis anymore, but, I'm not gaining weight, so, whatever
I do the same thing, Jacob. Also berries like blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are great low carb tasty treats
If youre ever worried youre out of ketosis just do a 48 hour fast on saltwater and you'll be back in it
I had sushi tonight with my wife because she can finally have it after being pregnant. Just gonna fast the next two days to get back into ketosis. The keto strips you can buy are also a great investment for $8-$10
That saltwater fast seems really hard
Then again, keto is a lot easier than I though
My mom is amazed that I don't eat bread
It's pretty simple- just don't eat. It sounds a lot scarier than it is.
Dude I love eating so much
I've been flying through these peanut butter fiber one bars since I first had one last week, they're just 👌 👌 👌 👌
@BigBadSaxon - ID What is the significance of the salt?
You should consume a certain amount of salt and potassium while fasting
Does it make it easier, though?
There aren't any calories, so it still serves the purpose. You just have to make sure you're not consuming it in too high of a concentration
Scroll up for that snake juice video with the annoying dude
what if I did a beef broth fast?
has a lot of sodium
I personally don't know enough about the topic, perhaps someone else does
Is there anywa/app or something to at least semi accurately track how many calories you're burning a day?
The saltwater (NaCl + KCl) does make it easier in my opinion. It makes fasting doable by eliminating the things that make fasting hard (low energy, headaches, cramps) and I just think of it as food when I get hungry. @Jacob
looks good!
I have today started a Zinc, Magnesium, Boron, B6, and Iodine regimen for endocrine health. Will post any mutations or organ failures.
What’s the deal with eggs. Healthy or not? They hav cholesterol but some say it’s a good cholesterol? Very confused
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?
