Have you tried MCT oil? Heard it improves strength and recovery when weight lifting.

Yes but balanced according to who? Sorry for the double reply. I will get used to posting on these boards one day!

Yes but balanced according to who? So many theories out there these days and I'm rethinking what the so called experts tell us we should be doing. I think the important thing is to make informed decisions and use self experimentation. If it works keep at it and if not try something else. I had been following 4HB to the…

I agree with the beans (as well as earlier posts of more protein) however fruit contains sugar and while a simple (natural) sugar and is easily digested it contains high levels of fructose which definitely spikes insulin levels. BTW bananas are highest and strawberries the lowest. I would also be careful of eating 20…

Ditto that. I always have a stash for the ready : )

G'day from WA :))) Maaaaate!

Not used to how these threads work but were you talking to me? I have been following Tim Ferris's 4HB slow carb diet for just over 3 months. I started at 67.5 kg and dropped a bit of weight when I first started then plateaued for 4 weeks. Since then it's been a steady drop except towards the end of cycle days but had…

Glad to find this thread as it's my cheat day tomorrow and something I've been wondering about. I have been here 1.5 weeks now and the weight is stripping off me. I have been SCD for about 4 months and the first 2 showed little. I'm not sure if recent success is due to calorie counting (1200- with most days under my…

Hi All, I was surprised to find this community on myfitnesspal especially as Tim suggests not to count calories at all as long as you eat the allowed foods. I'm finding though that with the beans it is very easy to eat too much and then see little or fluctuating results. I am also in The Lift community which is a great…

Hi, new here and testing this space :) I have been following the slow carb diet for 3 months now. Would like to experiment with calorie counting for added weight loss. With the SCD and following Tim Ferris's four hour body principles you are allowed one cheat day per week. After a while you don't feel like consuming the…
