I think he was talking about the gluconeogenic amino acids and glycerol from triglycerides. Obviously if you eat too much protein on a Keto diet they'll become TCA intermediates. The second part he was talking about was probably muscle/liver glycogen depletion and the water lost from that. Then of course comes the fat loss…

If you want to go the supplement route try Beta-Alanine... yes it works at reducing soreness. I use it when I get back into running or lifting and don't want to deal with delayed onset muscle soreness 48 hours later.

The best tasting proteins I've ever used are: Gaspari Myofusion, BSN Syntrax, and Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide 2.0 All 3 are top rated protein products.

This thread just made me realize something really important. There seems to be a misconception that if something is water-resistant it can be used in the water. The purpose of making something water-resistant is so you can take it in the water or get splashed with water and not worry about water getting in and damaging the…

Ouch, Glendale is 105 right now huh? It's 102 here. I just want to lay in a tub of ice... Good luck on your goals!

When you have 30g or less carbs for 2-3 days you deplete muscle/liver glycogen stores. Your liver starts to convert fatty acids to ketone bodies for energy. B-oxidation of fat increases and your major source of energy becomes fats. Basically 65% of your diet is fats while 30% is protein to maintain muscle mass.

No, Carnitine helps transport Fatty Acids into the Mitochondria. This is something different.

Is this a Ecdysterone analog?

DOMS usually starts in 15 hours and lasts until 48 hours for me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness).... If I start working out again after a while I take Beta-Alanine which is a precursor to carnosine. Works amazingly well to decrease soreness...

Something with protein + good source of carbs. Protein shake blended with fruit or liquid egg whites with fruit juice.

The OP probably isn't severely dehydrated but as I mentioned retaining water is proportional to the amount of glycogen stored. So it's more than likely she has lost a bit of water weight. If she drinks water she will gain that water weight right back. What is a way to prove this? Have no carbs for 3 days and use up all…

Assuming your salt intake is constant... It's probably water retention due to glycogen stores. If you were to deplete glycogen from muscle and liver I'm sure you guys would be peeing non-stop... It could also be the female endocrine system... the one subject in my Endocrinology class I went brain dead through.

I've got a better rehydration technique. 1.) Get Cholera 2.) Oral Rehydration Therapy 3.) ??? 4.) Profit

I thought Fructose strictly used GLUT 5 receptors?

I personally would only use it after a workout or cardio for more than 1.5 hour. - It's acidic just like soda which can cause cavities. I think the pH is 2-3 which is lower than orange juice! (http://biology.clc.uc.edu/scripts/pHResl.pl) - Doesn't really have enough electrolytes to "replenish" the body. - Off the top of my…

Eggs whites... I buy cartons of them and just mix them with fruit juice and drink. If protein supplements upset your stomach try whey protein isolates (remove fats and lactose) or hydrolysates (partially hydrolyzed whey proteins might be easier to digest).

What was your average heart rate?

Can someone link me to the topic?

Goal: 7-8%

Well I don't mean dabs of lotion that will take up space in your nose. Just take some and wipe it on your index finger then around your nose so it keeps your nose moist. I personally use lotion but the vaseline idea sounds better right about now.

Probably humidity? Your nose does a good job of warming and moistening incoming air. But if it's dry then... it's going to hurt. I live in a place where there's practically no humidity so when I run I put some aveeno lotion in my nose. Sounds gross but it works...

I think your fat intake is a bit too low. My personal opinion would be to add some unsaturated fats into your diet... a source of omega 3 (maybe fatty fish), olive oil, canola oil, peanut butter, avocados...

If you're referring to me then I never said short-term fasting is bad. I've done IF with good results knowing cortisol wouldn't be and issue. As for the breakfast issue looks I was wrong about the morning spike in Cortisol being lowered by eating. Learn something new everyday...

I'm sure she was being facetious. Not many people know about Intermittent Fasting on this site. Ever see the effects of increased GH over Cortisol? Take a stressed person who has been fasting for a long duration and I'm sure you will see centripetal obesity and moon face symptoms over acromegaly. You're giving the rise in…

I haven't had Endocrinology in a while but I'll tell you what I know about it. When a female gets pregnant the placenta starts making HCG within a few days in very small amounts. This is what pregnancy tests detect. The thought behind taking HCG is that it will trick your hypothalamus to change your metabolism and release…

6 feet * 12 = 72 inches 72 / 2 = 36 Inches? I've never in my life had a 36 inch waist and never hope to. I'm around 31-32.

It's almost impossible for me to eat right when I wake up but I practically force myself to. The biggest reason for me is because I always have in the back of my head that Cortisol is at it's highest level in the morning when you wake up. I always try to have a huge protein meal or at least a protein shake.

My grip also used to be pretty weak. On certain exercises I would do an alternating grip to strengthen my hands (deadlifts and such). I used Chinese meditation balls to increase dexterity. Have you thought about using a hand gripper? I starting using…

Women have a slightly different anatomy then women. I know they make saddles especially designed for women. Might be worth looking into.

There's some differences. Fruit contains fructose while those cookies probably contain sucrose depending on how they're made.
