Pastries. For sure. This KFC donut sandwich has been calling my name but I've stayed strong.

Also Dr. Satchin Panda is a good source.

There are several other health benefits with time restrictive eating. Research shows that there could be a correlation with reducing cancer risk due to cellular regeneration and phagocytosis, aids in bolstering immune and overall gut health and can help reduce inflammation; to name a few...as for weight lose, of course you…

I went through the same thing man. I lost quite a bit of size. It's hard not to when you are at a deficit. I also intermediated and still do. BCAAs will help during your fasting window though with keeping some protein synthesis going and hindering catabolism. I kinda live under the rule of got to sacrifice one for the…

I haven't been able to sync it. I'm not sure why it wont

Yep. A lot people think it's all you need. Nothing works better than a good ole diet and exercise. But I do think some things can be beneficial when you add it to those. Especially natural supplements.

Thanks.

Same here. I struggle more with clean bulking than cutting.

Yeah I take in a lot of greens. Some sweet potatoes. Of course, I'd allow myself some sweets here and there. So you carb cycle. Seem to work for you?

Pretty much all complex carbs. Usually a brown rice or oats. I would eat a banana post workout with some rice cakes

What do your grams of carbs usually run during a cut? I'm thinking I was averaging 150 or less.

Appreciate the info. Do you guys intermediate fast any? Or carb cycle? My last cut, I intermediate fasted then carb backloaded after my workouts. Usually quite moderate on the carbs and also depended on what muscle groups I hit.

How many calories in a deficit do you guys usually start out with? I know everyone is different but my last cut, I think started too quick and I lost a lot of size. I coming off a month or two of letting my diet go. Hit a platoe pretty hard and wanted remotivate myself. Any suggestions?

What exactly is this keto diet people speak of?

Carb back loading works for me. Take in your carbs post workout and try to keep them "clean". Brown rice, oats, sweet potato(regular after working bigger body parts. Like back and legs) Maybe somewhat carb cycle. Keep them fairly low(lower on your recommendation) on most days but up them when you do bigger body parts.…

Glad others share the pain of copious amounts of chicken salad or tuna.

That's what I've always done. I may be over boiling.

The "you are crazy" look when you eat healthy or pull out a prepped meal everyday but once summer rolls around, they ask what's the secret...people want quick and easy with everything. Also, it blows people's minds when you do it for more than "looking good" or tell them you aren't on a diet...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks. I'll look into that.

To qoute the great cinematic film Frozen..."Let it go! Let it go!"

That's what I've always done. I prepped some for today and decided to check it after. It was roughly 4oz less after boiled.

Quest and mission1 are my go to. A little on the expensive side. Esp quest but best quality. In my opinion.

Don't get discouraged if it seems to take awhile or you don't see the growth you want right away...bc it's the way it is. But you'll get there.

Most important thing is that you are doing something man. Hang in there with it. You'll learn as you go.

You could try switching to 5 sets of 5. Do that for a while. Then go back to 3-4 sets 10-12 reps. Or do 5x5 on you first couple of lifts (bench, squats, lifts like that). I personally dont like setting a certain rep range. If I usually can do a certain weight 10-12 reps but I can get it up 15, I do 15. Then add weight and…

??

...no one? Haha I was speaking to the clean dirty myth. Saying that you could reach the same weight goals by hitting you caloric and nutrient goals but that's why I personally try to stay as clean as I can.

Yeah. Cheese is something I eat pretty regularly.
