You can adjust the weight based on g or oz, depending on your preference. Even if there's a 52kcal difference between the two, it's not the absolute deal breaker of the century. If you want some leeway, choose the higher calorie version that way it's a bit of an overestimate of your daily intake. Again, these are all…

Search for "chicken breast raw USDA" then use the uncooked weight as measurement. It's about as close to an accurate estimate as you might get.

HIIT is designed to make you feel like you're dying, tabata being the pinnacle of suck. I mean, that's the point of the acronym: high intensity interval training. If you feel like it's a breeze, you're undercutting the intensity. That said, you don't "have" to be fat adapted (actually around ~3 weeks:…

This. Listen to Ted Naiman. He understands how metabolism works. Ted is an advocate of a modified psmf (loosely based off Lyle's RFL). What Ted does well is make it as simple as possible. Eat real food. Mostly meat and greens. Use fat sparingly to adjust for flavor and personal indulgence.

I want to highlight this as a complete cautionary warning that Jimmy Moore is in no way a special snowflake whose carb sensitivity is so extreme that it's messing with his metabolism. Jimmy Moore regained his weight and then some because he willfully ignores energy balance in practice. His snacks he's documented have been…

Not just you. When I get drunk, it's with gusto, and out goes any sort of diet I'm following. Though, twice I have followed Martin's leangains article without any negative effects on body composition, so it does work. You just have to mindfully want to eat lean protein and when you're out with a bunch of friends, it's damn…

Age is just one variable out of many that affects metabolism, but none of them affect it to a degree that escapes energy balance. On that end, you can not out train a bad diet. The possibility exists, but it's in no way sustainable without catabolizing tissue to the point of damage.

Then you're doing well in your position. Science shouldn't involve personal beliefs or bias, which leaves emotion at the front door. I don't pick a side in a dietary strategy because fundamentally, it stems from one unifying concept, which is energy balance. How someone manipulates energy balance to their favor, depending…

For the record, no one here is dropping a deuce on your diet or your results. We've congratulated you numerous times, and I'll do it again because that's outstanding. I'm keto most days out of the year, and I still can't stand Fung, Taubes, Lustig, or the "cabal of keto" as you refer to them. I don't have a personal…

EKs do nothing positive in human metabolism in terms of fat oxidation. In fact, superficially inflated ketone levels have a negative feedback loop to prevent lipolysis, to burn ketones first to prevent metabolic ketoacidosis. So, in a way, they are second to alcohol in oxidative priority to halt oxidation of other…

Dom’s work in cancer therapy was based on the Warburg effect, proposing glycolysis fueled cancer cells, pushing for the use of exo ketones (EK) as a method of treatment, but Chad Macias has been deep in oncological research that suggested certain other cancer cells and fibroblasts can also be fueled by ketones or fatty…

The point is dietary adherence is the ultimate driver for long-term fat loss success, if that's what you're trying to get at. There are a multitude of reasons that might play a factor, whether it's psychological or physiological. The credibility statement is a bit vague, but if you want to know why Fung emotionally reacts…

The thing is, and I'm hearing this more and more lately, "thousands of anecdotes become data" and you bet they've equated anecdote to be singular points of data. The only appropriate response I could give was, "bruuuh.. lol."

I've seen Fung throw middle aged temper tantrums via responses on fb and twitter, even in the midst of his fat shaming tweet. It separated keto into separate camps: "true keto/LCHF ketone chasers" that follow Jimmy Moore, Jason Fung, Gary Taubes, etc. and the adorably coined "CICOpath meatheads" that follow evidence based…

Yes. Their platforms being echo chambers on fb and twitter, blocking anyone that adamantly disagrees with them with evidence. They've confounded the concept of CICO the same way IIFYM was confounded when it was first introduced. And through the distillation of their original intentions, now CICO = IIFYM = "eating…

You're completely entitled to follow Taubes & co. and eat keto since it's obviously working for you. There's no debate that you've improved your overall health with it. The problem with Fung, Lustig, Taubes, etc. is that they misinterpret/manipulate data to fit their narrative, and it's apparent in your responses that…

Congrats on quitting smoking! Nicotine withdrawal hits some harder than others, so hopefully you actually are able to get through it. On that front, there are cognitive and physiological benefits to nicotine intake, including maintaining weight loss (I mean nicotine as a chemical, not in the form of a cigarette), so if you…

You're welcome, and very much right regarding the bolded part. That's where obesity changes the actual neuron signaling in our perception of fullness. Satiety (the physical feeling of fullness) and satisfaction (the psychological feeling associated with fullness) are now separated in most overweight individuals, and it's…

Alcohol has a way of undoing any of the inhibitions to eating off-track food.. or inhibitions for anything, really. Get plenty of fluids, keep up your electrolytes, and go back to eating keto. Your diet doesn't change just because a binge occurred. That said, if you do want to include alcohol during your fat loss, it would…

@bmeadows380 - This is gonna be long given your collective responses. The one recurring theme I'm seeing in your responses is that your consistency in logging has eased up and that inconsistency is clashing with your belief that you're not truly eating as much as you might be. I'm not placing blame because I've mentioned…

@ZoneFive Chris Masterjohn has a very good list of books to get started if you're interested in nutrition, microbiology, chemistry, and A&P. https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/2017/08/05/textbooks/

You're welcome. There are positive aspects to a reduced carb/ketogenic diet, as @mmapags mentioned. My mother also has random epileptic episodes, which might possibly be attributed to her glioblastoma, though, it's not definitive. I have her following a low carb diet in conjunction with general strength training and that…

Don't forget the toilet paper! :lol: Seriously, Costco does have tempting samples, but that's their job. Even if I don't sample anything, the longer I stay in any market/warehouse, the more I put in my cart. I usually get in, stick to my list, and gtfo before I see the 12 pack of ceramic kitchen knives I never knew I…

"Judgmental comments" perceived aside, a modified Atkins diet is technically ketogenic, by virtue of reducing dietary carbs, but it is a variation of the classic/standard ketogenic diet. I would actually promote MAD for dieters who wish to follow a low carb diet. If you're a keto advocate, Jeff Volek and Stephen Phinney…

Just to clarify this, a ketogenic diet was intended for the treatment of epilepsy in conjunction with medication to reduce the prevalence of seizures. That IS THE STANDARD of keto. All other variations of the diet to promote weight loss are actually bastardized versions of the original diet to treat epilepsy, specifically…

The reason why there's so much conflicting advice for diabetic patients is that each person responds differently to food substrates. Potatoes might not spike someone's glucose as high as another, or whole grain/wheat bread might make someone's glucose shoot through the roof.. it's unfortunately not very easy to give…

There's nothing pseudo-scientific about fiber pushing things through; it's true. It also slows gastric emptying and plays a part in delaying post-prandial digestion rates so glucose doesn't rise as high as it would with a high-glycemic index of food. http://jandonline.org/article/S2212-2672(15)01386-6/fulltext#sec2.2…

Lol. Right on the money. You win. I can't confirm or deny that some analgesic properties of an EC stack may or may not have worked in that favor.

Thanks guys. It looks worse than it feels, but it does look like a good area of damage as @PAV8888 pointed out. Lol. Rest assured, I'm still training and I haven't stopped Oly lifting. Either due to my own stubbornness or pain tolerance, I dunno, but if anything, returning the weight back to the floor is done much more…

And this just in for bruise watch 2018, my quad has finally decided to start changing colors. Apparently, yellow hues mean trauma healing. Which would explain why my clavicles turn yellow in cleans. I need a tan, so avert your eyes. It's sad that as an islander I get so little sunlight exposure. Hopefully that changes in…
