I'm pretty sure all of my self-control goes towards getting out of the bed before 7 am. I'm screwed.

No message: Kindly write, "New WOE who dis?". If there's a message then I would read and determine.

Girl, I am admittedly the world's laziest person. At my heaviest I was 162 lbs and that was a little over a year ago. Not terribly heavy but my BMI did show that I was slightly overweight. Most importantly, I was living a lifestyle of laziness and I'm fortunate enough to realize if I didn't change my eating habits first…

I bought a really nice pair of jeans about 5+ years ago. One of those "magical" pair of jeans where it fits in the fitting room and then when you get home and try to wear it a week later it feels like it shrunk by 5 sizes; not just a little tighter but you are really wondering how you fit into it at the store. Well I…

You should consume 0.8-1.2 g of protein per lean body mass if you are trying to gain muscle (and are strength training in order to do so). Eat 0.6-0.8 g of protein per lean body mass if you are trying to maintain muscle. That said, your protein may be a little high depending on what your goals are and how much lean body…

@nomorepuke I've read the first page of this thread and skimmed the others. Wanted to ask how you are feeling now that you've been adding more sodium?

If I walked past a coworkers desk several times a day I would probably start to notice what they ate as well, especially if they ever complained about weight loss and/or how they felt, etc. But I'd keep those observations to myself. Because this isn't you or someone who has reached out to you for help, or someone extremely…

Never thought of mascarpone in coffee. Do you mind sharing the full recipe you use?

I love his channel. I've been following his experiment but I think he underestimated his TDEE. I've put his stats in calculators and got around 3,000 as opposed to 2,000. But as @nvmomketo stated, even with that TDEE and a 1,000 cal surplus over 21 days then he should still gain at least 6 lbs according to CICO. If he…

SD: 1/01/17 SW: 144 CD: 2/15/17 CW: 136.2 - Over the weekend I saw one day I was at 134.6 and then it went back up to 135.6 and 136.2 x2 days GD: 3/26/17 GW: 132 (range 129.6-134.1) - I'm not really concerned with weight, I'm focused primarily on reducing my BF even if my weight stays the same or even increases. My current…

The first month is usually the biggest in terms of a drop on the scale because you are losing a lot of water weight. After that it becomes a more steady loss of BF though that isn't always conveyed in the scale. Sometimes people don't see a drop in terms of weight on the scale for weeks, months, or even in some extreme…

Yes

Your list is great. Just make sure to get enough electrolytes (which you might already be doing) but other than that, it looks like you have a solid plan.

Right? And I can put together a stellar vacation itinerary lol.

I think there is a huge issue with the definition of artificial. I don't consider Stevia artificial because it derived from a plant. Yes it is processed in order to be extracted (though I'm not sure what the full extent of that processing is, if it's anything like Canola oil then I would avoid it like the plague). Yet I…

Exactly this for me. Fortunately for me I don't have any major negative stressors in my life. However, unfortunately for me, I get anxious over pretty much everything. Even things people would very much consider a blessing. Like planning a vacation and not being able to sleep because I'm wondering if I should take the 1:00…

@Sunny_Bunny_ exactly, @nomorepuke, in regards to benefits...I experience many benefits while eating low carb high fat. However, because I don't have any existing medical conditions, there's a much broader range of benefits that others experience that I do not so I won't speak to those. For me, I feel like my improved…

Well in 5 days you can drop some WATER weight by eating keto, fat loss would be limited but water could be anywhere from 2-10 lbs. Eat 30g of net carbs or less. 20g or less if possible. By net carbs you subtract the fiber from carbs and whatever is remaining is what counts towards that number. I have found keto to be great…

What is making you want to carb load? It's too early to determine if you are stalling at only 3 days in. So the only other explanation for a carb load would be perhaps for physical performance or simply because you just want to eat some carbs. Are you feeling deprived? Are your workouts suffering? I would say get yourself…

Liquid Stevia for me especially for sweetening coffee, plain Greek yogurt, melted dark chocolate when making desserts/fat bombs, etc. Hazelnut flavor in my coffee, vanilla in my yogurt, clear/chocolate/or vanilla in my desserts. I even used peppermint one time in some mint ice cream but those didn't turn out well because…

@nomorepuke, I eat very similarly to you. It's just odd to ask about people eating Paleo and then posting a chart to describe what Paleo is and isn't and then posting several items you eat that fall under the "What Paleo Isn't" category. One would assume you are asking if anyone eats exactly what the chart is showing as…

I know @Sunny_Bunny_ can agree that you may not see a change in your weight for a while but there could still be huge changes in your body composition. I would start using a tape measure.

You mean "the world"

Best. Thing. Ever.

It would also be much more beneficial for someone to do this experiment that is closer to 15-20% BF.

He does carb cycling. I don't know if TKD or CKD. I think the latter. He is the found of Keto Cycle that is based on 1-3 weeks of keto eating with cycling in 1 carb refeed day. He has been eating keto for at least 1.5 years I think. I think maybe longer because I remember him mentioned he has researched it for the last 5…

If you say you eat a "modified Paleo" then NO you do not eat Paleo. If you name 3 items on the do not eat list that you DO eat then NO you do not eat Paleo. You can say you eat "close to" Paleo. I eat "close to Paleo" but I consume diary and salt and some legumes (really only peanuts and peanut butter but I'm not sure the…

I did IIFYM and CICO before on a higher carb/protein and low fat diet. It was HORRIBLE. I was ALWAYS hungry and always felt sleepy (not enough energy from food). Food was ultra bland having to avoid butter, oil, salt, etc. I was taking a high carb pre-workout and had great energy for that but throughout the rest of the day…

Yea I thought with his amount of BF that 2,000 baseline intake seemed really low. Whenever I plug his numbers into a calculator it says his TDEE is around 3,000.
