@lemurcat12 the quality of the beans and the roast. they use dark roasted beans with lots of acidity so it always gave me a bit of tummy ache. they do this to hide the inferior quality of the beans. I found a great organic coffee from a local farmer (I live in Thailand btw) and his beans are much milder and lovely! Somehow…

Psulemon, what I wanted to say in bold was that the hungry feeling is 'real', and not one of those sugar cravings I used to get when I was eating lots of sugar (from fruits for example). so when I am full, I just stop eating. I am just happy doing what I've been doing, that's all I wanted to say, but I am still…

As long as MCT oil contains lots of C8 and C10, it is great. a guy in a FB group posted a link - https://www.amazon.com/Viva-Labs-Non-GMO-Gluten-Coconut/dp/B00MGW5UVY/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1477751168&sr=8-1&keywords=Viva+labs+MCT very good price indeed! As long as your body is in ketosis, you should be able to eat…

When you say 20g of carb, do you mean net carb? otherwise you will starve yourself!! anything under 50g of net carb would put your body under ketosis, but less would speed up the process. taking MCT oil would help. I have been feeling great with the cyclic ketogenic diet. The key is to find your sweet spot - some do well…

Been doing the Bulletproof Diet (cyclical keto) for several weeks and I feel great! I've been cooking lots of keto snacks and desserts as well, they keep me satisfied! like keto bread using almond powder and psyllium husk and seeds/nuts. tastes incredible and yeah, totally low carb :) eat it with lots of grass-fed ghee!…

My husband lost 20 pounds with ease by drinking the Bulletproof Coffee in the morning instead of eating breakfast. He eats moderate amount of carbs. His health improved dramatically, so did his energy level. I have been drinking it too, which really helped me to quit Starbucks! The last several weeks I've been following…

hey! It is keto but food you eat is least harmless to your body, it is very interesting. Bulletproofexec.com has lots of info. I have learnt a lot from his book (Dave Asprey). For example he recommends a cup of bulletproof coffee every morning (coffee with grass fed butter and MCT oil). It is super delicious but makes you…

me too :) 4th days into keto now and I feel great! following the bulletproof diet actually!

There are too many theories about nutritions and every body reacts differently... but one thing is true, we don't need to consume refined sugar! Natural sugar is present in most of the vegetables and fruits. You could try to count how much sugar you have been taking. you will be surprised how much sugar you are actually…

I am 14 weeks pregnant and I am getting back to my old lifting routine but with less intensity! During my first trimester I was throwing up all the time so I really could not do a full program, so I did an occasional 5x5 and did some swimming. Now I've just changed my diet to a keto diet, I am no longer taking much…

hi, you should read Dave Asprey's Bulletproof Diet (or read his blogs). basically what he proposes is a ketogenic diet, but the book goes on to 'biohack' your own body so that you don't get any craving for crap food, which includes sugar. hungry feeling is induced by hormones so you just have to know how to deal with it.…

been almost a year since I started this app but so many people I knew dropped out... or became inactive! I've changed my focus from "weight loss" to "gaining strength" and I've never felt so good in my life! I've been doing the bikini comp prep for the last 3 months and it's been super interesting! Feel free to add, I…

Download Freeletics app, it is fantastic! You can do all the workouts for free but there is also an option to get a weekly training plan from a virtual coach and it is super cool! Makes me work hard and challenge my limit... Their workouts are like HIIT and burns a lot of calories! I don't go to the gym btw. All you need…

oh good for you!!! so you are NOT substituting wheat products with those GF products? you are just cutting down your carbs right? I've been doing the same, I hardly eat bread nor pasta, not even rice. but I take enough carbs from fresh vegetables and fruits. I also feel great!!! I guess everyone is different, we should all…

I think GF products became niche, that's all.... just makes me giggle when people eat GF cakes thinking that that doesn't add extra inch on your waist.... haha

oh god no, I still like eating a few pieces of pizza from time to time, I am not that fussy! I never said anything about going GF, all I am saying is that if there are real health benefits from consuming less gluten, then I would, that is all. I don't mind only using almond flour for my protein brownies I eat religiously,…

I just know one person who says he is gluten intolerant but I swear he used to eat pizza all the time!

Thank you for sharing!!! yes I agree, many people seem to think that GF is the key to losing weight... I just eat less wheat products these days and I feel better, but in general, my lifestyle has improved a lot due to better nutritions and fitness routines! intersting you mention auto immune diseases - coz I have a very…

oh my, thank you for sharing. that is great for you! I've been suffering from migraine since I was 10, but now I work out a lot more than before, it's more or less gone, just like that. right now I just keep my carb intake as low as possible so I hardly eat gluten anyways :smile: I am very happy that you found your…

totally agree! I guess it is easier for them to say "don't eat all these evil things" but come on, you need to enjoy life, too! like I said, she just passed electricity through my body and checked how I 'reacted' with those foods. I was like.... INTERESTING!!!

It was fabulous but once I ate too much of it and I can never eat it again (so is my hubbie!) lol

every day, just became a habit, but I measure my body fat % once a week with SkuptAim. weight loss became totally uninteresting since I started lifting, now my focus is on reducing my body fat and gaining muscle mass :smiley:

Just download the app and get started :)

Thank you - it is so interesting, you really have to watch out for every small detail!!!

ohhhhhh you, too!!! thank you! I was soooo happy I could do it! you are right, this visualization is very important. I still have to concentrate a few seconds before I do it (coz I am still scared and insecure about my form), but I have managed every time. Felt so amazing! what, 225!?!?!? that is incredible! you can lift…

my chiropractor said my hamstrings are very weak! I do hip thrust with a smaller barbell and man, it kills my butt every time! I haven't tried single-leg one, I will probably die trying! hahaha thank you for the tip, I will incorporate those in my next workout! thank you!!!!!! :D

gotta look into all these goodies, I am still new to weightlifting with bars! my powerblock dumbbells are for now quite perfect, 7-8 inchs high :) not too low I think... oh rows, damn. I find that very hard! THAT I can only do in the cage, not from the floor!!! :s

yes it was because of my crappy form!!! I just didn't think it would make such a difference! yesterday's lift was super easy for me. I've been training my core and back all this time so I guess that helped! but I would also do Romanian deadlift to help me strengthen my muscles to carry out more efficient classic deadlift!…

hi there! yes I figured and I use my Powerblock dumbells as the blocks to place the bar on it and it is much better. i am still scared xxxx less, whenever I try to lift, but yesterday I made very clean deadlifts and I am happy! yes rack pulls would be less efficient, I know.... I think I will try to do the normal deadlift…

hey! today I was so excited that I could do the normal deadlift, I didn't do sumo! hahaha. adjusted my forms and voila, it was fine! no I do this at my home gym, have a power rack and Olympic bar (45lbs), I have no hex bar unfortunatley. it corrects your form automatically right? is it worth getting? so much to learn with…
