Results are back. Everything was in exceptional ranges except for total test which was 231L (250-827 normal range). I do wonder if its because I took the test in the afternoon. Also, since im fat my test should be naturally lower? In any case I could probably argue for test supplementation...

Unfortunately I don't think I got anti-tpo, anti-tg or t3/t4 tested: test order here I'm awaiting the results right now. On another positive note my weight is starting to drop again after a long plateau, i spent the last weekend doing intense mountain climbing in the smoky mountains. Today I...

FierceRedBelt: I'm an executive producer in software development field. I run complex projects and oversee a bunch of developers. Been plateaued for awhile now and not sure why. On April 20 the shit hit the fan in our office and I had to work 80 hour weeks for 3 weeks. I went from walking 4-5...

For the record I do rough calorie counting - the low carb thing is just a mechanism to stay at a large deficit and not be hungry all the time, fat and protein is satiating even at low calorie counts. I feel better (no crashes) while eating like this, and generally more content. Calories ARE all...

A long coming update. I feel like I owed it to you guys to be honest. I gained back a lot of weight - as I think everyone understands now there is something wrong with me where I gain weight in an incredible rate. During the same period my girlfriend and I eat virtually the same thing and...

I haven't been to the gym in awhile (going on 3 months now). I'm restarting again next week - wanted to ratchet down my diet before introducing new variables. As is clear, I didn't actually lose that much fat, it's probably 75% water. I'm a camel.

so let's look at how the new plan is going: June 1: In from New York vacation, ate a bunch of crap over past week June 2: did not record, started eating as above June 3: 289.6 4: 287.4 5: 282 6: 278.8 night of went to girl's city until the morning of the 9th: brisket/texas links with green...

Thanks bruh. Monday: 289.8 Today: 278.8 The great pee of 2014. I'm sure this weekend with the girlfriend will probably make me regain a few (or all) - even considering how cognizant i'm going to be of limiting my empty calorie sources, but it goes to show much of my body mass is water and...

Also dude it's roughly 100 grams of protein per lb of chicken. The cooked rotisserie chickens are honestly an amazing value considering if you buy a frozen chicken its only like a dollar less.

And today down another 5 lbs. Last few days: Breakfast was 3 pickled eggs 2 babybel cheese wheels (140 cals of cheese) Dinner half chicken 1 head romaine small handful pumpkin seeds 2 tbsp whole flax 2 tbsp ranch dressing small handful sliced almonds half cucumber

I can't find it, I believe it was by Aragon or Schoenfeld. It basically said that large deficits are fine as long a you also lift. Lifting will minimize hypertrophy even with a large deficit, the calories overall doesn't matter as long as you maintain protein. Maybe it was cited in Schoenfeld's...

Studies show that you can cut as many calories as you want as long as you get your essential protein intake (0.5 grams/per lb of lean muscle mass) AND lift You could theoretically eat low calorie protein sources like fish and chicken and easily achieve your protein demands with a 1000 or less...

One thing you're missing are cooked rotisserie chickens from supermarkets. Good way to get protein while you're traveling. Avocados. Sour cream. Nuts/seeds. etc etc

I have read the same as well, but i'm not sure what my addiction tolerance is. Just this week I started a cold turkey detox, i'll wait until sunday and then try decaf, then try stop drinking it completely and see if i have withdrawal symptoms after a week.

I wasn't going to post another update for awhile.. but just as an example of how retarded my genetics are, between yesterday and today i lost over 3 lbs, and yesterday did not involve exercise, just carb restriction. Some dude needs to write a paper on me. I am a legit camel.

I have quit caffeine before and done so cold turkey. It is brutal. DO it when you don't have to be around other people if you can help it. You're gonna want to fall asleep constantly. There is no way to make it better. I have had a real problem with this because I really love the taste of...

I gained about 50-60 lbs since being at my lowest (i'm at 289 now after a week of vacation/eating crap in NY). It's amazing how fast I can gain weight. I have no idea how much of that is water since I slacked off on weighing myself. It's a new experience for me to try to eat socially and...

My objective: increase energy expenditure so I can eat more cheat-style stuff on the weekends I already lift, but have been experimenting recently with trying to introduce a cardio regiment. Problem is, i have seen so much conflicting information, it's unreal. It seems that amongst the...

Yes I forgot you were canadian. Thanks for the advice, I will see about getting some bloodwork done. I feel quite good, but am just bloated right now. In the past STOPPING exercise and over-hydrating has often led to a "whoosh" where I shed 8-10 lbs in a week's time, and then consistently the...
