L-Arginine 30 grams a day - Count it as Protein or just Calories? Better sleep and HGH output?
Good day guys, Cutting straight to the chase... If I were to start taking L-Arginine at 30 grams per day should I count that as 30 grams of protein... allowing it count toward my daily macro goal? Or would it be better to show it as just full calories with no specific macros. Or perhaps count full calories and only a…

Keto and Fasting has been amazing thus far.
Good Morning all... I'm only on week 6 of my new way of life (At least that's what were telling our selves. And I have to say I believe it.) My fiancé is on week 7.

Then add however much BBQ sauce you want and continue grilling. When completed I just bring it all in the house and I measure my meat with BBQ sauce on…

Changing up my diet slightly this morning.
I may well be getting into the weeds of Keto this morning, but I've decided to tweak my diet slightly and remove my 5 day a week Vanilla Pudding ( 7 carbs).

Magic Spoon the latest addition to our meal repertoire.

It hurts to see people disappear.
I imagine for many of you that have been here for Years, seeing people come and go is pretty old hat. I just noticed a "friend" is no longer on my friends list whom I was actively supporting and encouraging as best as I could.

You can do it, don't give up!
Maybe it's just me, but I have to wonder if a lot of us re-initiated our journey of losing weight and getting healthy around the new year! I know I did.
