It's where I write stuff
I had someone ask me what kind of diet I was on. I replied honestly, by saying I just eat what I always eat, but less of it to create an energy deficit. The follow up question was, so like a low carb diet? No, not at all. Just eating less. People probably struggle with …
It is very much in vogue to poke fun at vitamin supplements, suggesting that taking them is a waste of money, providing nothing more than expensive, brightly colored urine. For many years I took a multi-vitamin as nutritional insurance, and I supplemented with various individual vitamins periodically like C and E, and supplemented with some …
I've taken a long, slow approach to this cut for several reasons, most importantly that we can only oxidize and burn stored fat for fuel at a certain rate. Roughly 25 kcal per day can be oxidized from fat cells and burned. In order to get our bodies to do this, we need to create …
I ended my last bulk earlier than the previous one because I honestly just didn't like the way I looked. I wasn't overly fat as I could still see the outline of my abdominal muscle if I flexed, but I was tired of eating so much food (yes, that is a thing) and feeling unpleasantly …
First off, I'm not interested in a meatless diet. Sure, ethically I could make the case for not eating animals, but ultimately, they'd probably eat me if they could, and even if I didn't eat them out of some sense of empathetic reciprocity, it wouldn't prevent the rest of the planet's humans from eating them, …
People are over fat because their energy intake is too high. Significant efforts are being made in research, medicine, and counseling to battle the epidemic that obesity has become, but for the large majority of people, they're just eating too much energy. I'm sure there are some folks who have some kind of metabolic illness …
Diet now finely tuned, hitting my macro targets each day with precision, I am taken aback by what appears to be something previously unthinkable: I am getting stronger, adding muscle, and losing even more body fat.... simultaneously. I looked in the mirror the other day and was actually surprised for a moment. Seeing oneself each …
Let us review the changes I have made in my training and diet, which have led to what I believe are improved performance and results. The most significant change is dietary. After determining I was ass backwards on the timing of my food, I adopted a circadian timed feeding strategy, eating my largest meal at …
At long last, I've reached the end of my body fat reduction efforts, commonly called a "cut." My current stats are: Body Weight: 169.7 Body Fat: 9.6% Thanks to my meticulous tracking efforts, I can attest that the data suggesting body recomposition is possible; i.e. losing fat and adding muscle simultaneously, is true. Here's where …
I have completed the transition from a low carb, high fat diet to a high carb, low fat diet. It was easier than I expected, adapting to the full sensation following a high carb meal within the first few days. It took a little effort to get my meals planned, but as always, routines develop …
