How to spike my ground beef?
About the only messy ingderient in my regime is the occasional satchel of tex mex goodness that I throw in with the pound of meat. It's all sugar and salt and sodium glutamate. I have a problem with the sugar. I've been trying to recreate the artificial taste before, but failed miserably. Is there a recipe for a low carb…

Setting goals is not straightforward, advice?
So, I've been on the current train for two months or so, lost the easy 20 lbs, muscle memory has kicked in, and lifting starts to show. I'm experienced enough to keep myself engaged in the weight room, but I've never really dealt with body composition goals. Life has tended to get in the way before I've managed to go down…

Can I just buy a juicer
For my veggie needs (pound+ a day), and drink my salads, or is it too much of a pain to empty and clean if used on a daily basis, as some tools are? Good ones seem to cost enough to pause for a think. I'll hire a cook before I upgrade the company car from the current beater, but in the meanwhile I'm still responsible to…

Low carb impact on lifting
So, I've been diligently taking the slack off my weights with SS after a few years of inactivity. Started exceptionally low as a token of respect for my new decade. Got into trouble really soon with squats, like "holy crap I'm weak" soon. Been at about 50 grams of carbs for maybe two months already, and then accidentally…

Optimizing stretching for least suck
So, I doubt I'm alone in neglecting stretching. The world has caught on the goodness of free weights, but outside athlete circles stretching feels like a dim witted cousin. I've gone through coached periods where pre and post workout stuff doubled the amount of time in gym clothes. Suck. And with as many regimes as…

Lembras wafers?
Unlike Sam, I would never tire of them. Cannot find the recipe though. No-one here, it seems, has ever mentioned them. I would gladly dispense with cooking and have my meals like my cigarettes. A pack a day with no fuss. Has anyone ever tried to make a real life equivalent? The most calories I've packed into hard food was…

Doing keto the wrong way, how long until it bites me?
Hello, Foregoing the personality dump and just getting to the point: My daily keto as it stands now equals a pack of smokes, maybe half a dozen cups of bad instant coffee with whole milk, a can or two of tuna with chunks of dolphin for variety, six or more eggs, half a pound of luncheon meat, and an additional source of…

Old fat and weak
By my 20 Year old standards anyway. I recently found MFP from my phone, and was surprised I've got five years of super intermittent data on it. Going through some life rebuilding, biennial thing with me, traditionally. Falling back on my old staple: ketoish paleo with dairy and weights. Finding it hard to find motivation…
