Getting smacked by Purus Labs!

Quick weight update

I was 194 this morning! :woohoo:

Thats a 4lb drop in 10 days with about no cardio done. Looking to start adding in my BJJ days again for the next 2 weeks, this should help speed up the fat loss a bit.
 
I LOOOOOOOVE bacon wrapped jalapeno peppers with cream cheese!!! My wife and I used to make those all the time when we had company over. Always a hit, but had to worry about the "ring of fire" sometimes...

So, I'm assuming the caffeine in the Fat Smack isn't all that bad? I'm pretty sensitive to stims myself...for instance....OXYEPRO @ 1 cap gives me the jitters pretty bad, more than 1 and I feel like I'm going to vomit.

You can try CLR for the chains, but they look like they have heavy surface rust...so I'm not 100% sure it will work. Then paint them. If you want to spend the extra money, look into powder coating, it's really tough.

Good luck.

Not sure how sensitive to stims you are but the effect from Fat Smack isnt jittery at all!!! Barely feel like a stim really, I mean dont get me wrong you get a little go feeling from it but its not really like most fat burners I have taken. Its more of a mellow relaxed I feel good high then a OMG I NEED TO MOVE OR IMA EXPLODE effect

Hope that helps

NOM NOM NOM!!! :food:

I actually was gonna pick up some more jalapenos again this last weekend from the store but forgot too :boggled:

Half tempted to run to the grocery store just to get some this week just so I can make these

Another way I used jalapenos before was chopped up and mixed into ground meat and then cook like burgers. Mix in some cheese and top with salsa or more cheese or a fried egg :food:
 
Lookin good in here, bud!

And glad you liked the Woodchuck! I worked at a liquor store when I was in grad school and we stocked that stuff in our specialty section pretty frequently; never tried it, myself.
 
Awesome results man!! I've always just used a bench for my box squats, but then again, I don't do squats too often. I love the power it gives you outta the hole after you've done them for a few weeks. Lots of benefits to peepers, so eat up!! How's the little onedoing bud?

yea its not too shabby...

Although I am not 100% paleo it is still a novel idea of having a drink and still avoiding the grains :cheers:

Thanks bud!

The baby is doing great! She is refluxing a bit, think she is allergic to something my wife is eating. As a result my wife has decided to join me on the paleo diet so my house is going completely semi paleo now! Gonna make my dieting soooo much easier without any temptations around the house. Thanks for asking bud :D

I never keep up changing that info.. the last time I changed it was when I got to 185 (my lowest so far) right before I did my havoc pulse. Plan on trying to shoot for 175ish now and seeing how I that is. This purus stack was perfect timing :thumbsup:

I was running paleo for a bit after reading some info about it interacting with hypothyroidism well. I felt great while I was on it. It was nice because you had a steady intake of carbs that you don't get on keto, but it's a very natural diet. I felt hungrier more often, though, that's for sure.

Im definetely not 100% full paleo I disagree with some of their teaching (i.e no saturated fats like WTF!) I like the Primal Blueprint version a little better and am currently reading Protein Power (very good book by the way) but basically I just take the principles and apply them to whatever diet I am doing (which is currently the american diet by scivation). For me paleo isnt really about the macros it is about food choices. The main thing is avoiding grains (pasta, bread, oatmeal, sugar, etc) along with beans, milk, cheese, etc. I still eat carbs, I eat potatoes and quiona (sometimes some basamati) and I still take in my fat intake and protein intake. A true paleo diet doesnt allow for much carbs or even that high of a protein intake or even calorie intake for that matter.
 
Meat and veggies FTW!
 
Quick update:

took 4 caps Fat Smack this morning and WOW! Appetite is destroyed! The stim effects are a little stronger too, not too crazy but definitely more present.

I had to really force myself to eat breakfast as nothing in my kitchen sounded like it would be good. I really had no desire to eat at all I just knew I had to so made myself.

I tried to open a can of tuna and almost threw up when I smelled it! Unless I am getting sick I will have to attribute this to the 4 caps.

I ended up just having a whey shake with some fish oil and glutamine

Ha, I love avocados, I can literally cut them open and eat them as is.



I always get weird looks for buying 4 18 packs at a time.

Those peppers look bomb btw.

josh if you are hardcore cutting, ditch the potatoes. the glycogen issue is wayyy overrated for us non professional athletes. i eat them maybe once or twice a week and my BF is super low

I agree, I'm cutting hardcore now, and my only carb source is oats and veggies, no starch.
 
AntonG42O said:
ditch the oats too, theres no vitamins/nutrients in there. its highly acidic and has a high GI. useless food.
Click to expand...

Oats have a high GI? That is seriously the first I've ever heard of that!

I've noticed that I've put on the most muscle when I eat more oats, more muscle than increasing anything else (assuming already high protein diet).

It just doesn't make sense to me, don't all the big bodybuilders pretty much eat oats as their primary carb source (and sweet potatoes)...?

GI is 61 and much higher if its flavored.

the weight/muscle gain is mostly water from the extra glycogen you are consuming. excess glycogen gets stored as water. sure the carbs do cause a muscle building insulin spike but so does meat/eggs/fish. if you are purely bodybuilding for mass, extra water retention does help lift more weight etc. however when the big bodybuilders wanna get down to a low bodyfat you will see them cut things like oatmeal out of their diet.
 
From what I saw on the low end Steel cut oats rate 42 on the glycemic index, old fashioned rolled oats rate at 50. Some other sites have oats at 48, others sites at 58. Seems to be a wide range there.

I use just old fashioned steel cut oats post workout, so regardless of insulin spike or not, it's a good time IMO.


You seem to have a lot of info on different foods, a lot of restrictions for you. Are you strict paleo Anton?

not too strict. i eat cheese and take whey. but i do avoid grains/processed sugars and other dairy. my whole thing with food is if you are gonna eat something then it better have vitamins/minerals. oatmeal is just empty calories. another thing is the acidity of foods. oatmeal and other grains are super acidic and therefore should be eaten less and in combination with vegetables to achieve a more alkaline state. check this out:

The plan wasnt really toward a hardcore cutting, more towards loosing fat while maintaining muscle and strength. The diet isnt really conclusive to an all out cut ALTHOUGH I was planning on what to do next and its looking like next month its going to be an all out balls to the wall cut for me :D should be fun!!!

Agree'd :fing02:

if you compare foods gram for gram on their nutritional content fruits and veggies will always win when it comes to all grains.

This is because oatmeal is converted rapidly to sugar and if you consider ta most people make theirs with milk and fruit then your blood sugar spikes even more. One of the reasons why we are programed to believe oatmeal is a super food is because it has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol, especially small LDL.

From a blood sugar standpoint a bowl of oats will elicit a somewhat similar response to if you had a candy bar for breakfast :nono:

From a health standpoint Oats are often contaminated with other gluten grains during processing and gluten grains cause leaky gut. Also the avenin protein appears to have similar effects to gluten.

As to why the bodybuilders do it, I would suppose it is because they are under the belief that they need to create a insulin response in order to take advantage of IGF-1. There has been some controversy over this as many believe carbs after a workout can blunt GH response and a GH response is needed for the release of IGF-1. Personally I dont know where I sit on this subject but I still consume around 60g carbs after my workouts. Another thing to consider is oats are cheap, low calorie, quick to eat (you can just toss them in a blender with a shake) and high fiber.

Great link!

I try to keep the ph of food in my mind when making meals, a trick to do is to make sure you add a good amount of fat to your meals. Most fat is more akaline and will help balance out the ph of the meal. Also adding a couple grams of Glutamine will help make the meal a little more base to.

Mmm that reminds me I haven't had my post workout banana mash in a while.

You ever had it befor AZ?

reds too, but not during a cut.
Click to expand...

Honestly though when talking about carbs from a weight loss perspective I feel there is little difference between say a red potato baked with EVOO and a bowl of oatmeal or any other carb source you would use post workout. I like to use red potatoes because they have a little more nutrient content than other carb choices. I usually will alternate between red potatoes, sweet potatoes, and quinoa.
 
So this is what it looks like when you don't prepare food the night before and wake up late without enough time to prepare food before work

3/13-3/19 Update

Sorry the daily updates have kind of slowed up a bit. I have done a couple of random updates on some thoughts I have experienced. I am going to try and summarize the week here the best I can remember.

Pretty much in essence this week has been horrible but not Purus supplement wise but me. Diet has been hit and miss with a couple great days and a couple not so great days. Also workouts have been barely existent along with my sleep. My daughter has a constant stuffy nose and is refluxing/throwing up A LOT. Sleep has only been a couple hours at a time and then I am up with her. I usually workout before I go to work but with the lack of sleep I just havent been able to get up early enough to get a workout in and still have time for work. As you can see from my last post I barely have enough time to prepare my food. I worked out only twice this week both times were on an off day and intensity wasn't really there much. As for BJJ.. forget about it my off days pretty much consist of me getting cat naps and lounging around resting.

As for as Fat Smack and SLINshot everything has been going extremely well, especially considering the circumstances. I have done NO CARDIO and continue to loose weight. My diet has been either at maintenance or a little above and all carb meals I have taken 1-2 caps SLINshot prior. As for the Fat Smack I am taking them 2 caps at a time twice a day now and I think this is where its at for me.

Four days ago (3/16) I was 194lbs and this morning (3/20) I am 191.8! Progress is steady with the stack and I am pleasantly surprised

The goal for this upcoming week is to get back on track with everything and give it 150%. We already saw what this stack can do when your a lazy slacker (this past week) but now I want to see what this stack can really do when you combine it with some hard work and dedication.
 
Last few post were a good read. Isn't the fat loss without any effort awesome? Fat smack was the only fat burner / stim that leaned me out when I was doing little cardio and a bulking diet. Try taking 3 caps before fasted cardio :).

Have you experienced any heart burn from FS?

I was really surprised when I stepped onto the scale this morning. I expected to be up in weight not down :think:

I am going to go to BJJ 2x this week and add in some BB complexes at the end of upperbody days and jogging at the end of lower body days so I should get around 6 days of some cardio in plus I am going to MAKE diet on point. Might start cutting out some fruit and stick to only carbs post workout and the rest of the day keto-ish. I think I have about maybe 2 weeks of this left but I havent counted the caps or anything it may only be 1 week.

I will try 3 caps tomorrow and see how that goes. Did you take it 3 in am AND 3 in pm? I like 2/2 right now
 
I liked 3/3 or on long days at work (16 hours plus) I would do 2/2/2 for a steady flow of crime fighting energy lol :cop: license meow, sir license give it meow!!!!
 
Really great info being put on display here guys, thanks to all!! I agree with the whole "acidity" thing, when I'm dieting I add in quite a bit of spinach, it's high alkaline content helps buffer the extra acidity from increased protein. If I don't I notice I stagnate after about 3 weeks.

Those blue diamond almonds are a staple of mine, but I buy the flavored ones, lots of one s to choose from, I recommend the Habenero Barbeque.

Log is lookin' great bud, adn the results are showing. Seems like this is a very solid supp.
 
Lime and chili, wasabi and soy for me!!

Yes indeed the whole stack has been treating me pretty good. I think fat smack is one of those under the radar supps but it is very effective! Purus just doesnt spend as much on marketing as other companies do I guess :dunno: I never even considered fat smack as part of my fat attacking arsenal but now it definetely is going to be a go to fat burner/appetitte supressent (especially at 4 caps woah!)
 
Yes they are! I have to stop myself from eating a can at one sitting..:puppy_dog_eyes:
