  1. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    It's Invalid Link Removed. It clearly breaks the fast by Martin's rules, but it's an important part of Dave Asprey's Invalid Link Removed. Dave Asprey and Kiefer (the Carb Backloading guy) both make the argument that all of the benefits of fasting are gained by merely staying in ketosis for...

  2. How do you guys get it!

    Same protein, yes. Same cals as long as you didn't leave any fat behind in the pan.

  3. How do you guys get it!

    I'm 34 years old and I have never seen a package of raw meat that provided nutrition info based on cooked weight. That would be ridiculous because the weight of the meat after cooking will vary based on how much water you boil off, and the nutrient content could also change if you drain the fat.

  4. How do you guys get it!

    Why are you worried about the cooked weight? Nutrition info for meat is based on raw weight. Weigh it, cook it, eat it. Also, cooked weight of rice will vary based on how much water is absorbed. It's another thing that's not worth stressing over.

  5. Tracking workouts

    JeFit and MyFitnessPal for me, too. Both are great apps.

  6. LeanGains - Extreme Difference in Cals on Build/Burn Days

    It was a couple months back that I read through the whole LG thread, but I don't recall many people advocating huge calorie swings. Most people stuck with the standard recommendation +35/-10 bulk, +10/-35 cut, and +20/-20 recomp. I've been eating about 2750 on build days, 1750 on burn days...

  7. Monsta65 starts journey to weight loss

    I agree with this. I ate essentially IIFYM style for a while (perfectly fine for altering body composition) and gradually evolved toward eating with my long-term health and lifespan in mind. I probably wouldn't have been able to go directly from eating like crap to eating how I eat now. That...

  8. Monsta65 starts journey to weight loss

    Polyunsatured fats are unstable and easily oxidized. Omega 6 and Omega 3 polyunsaturated fats are essential in small amounts, and dangerous in higher amounts. Most Americans are deficient in Omega 3 PUFAs and get way too much Omega 6 PUFAs. This is a result of feeding our livestock...

  9. Monsta65 starts journey to weight loss

    Don't let the numbers discourage you (easier said than done, I know). Where you're going is more important than where you started.

  10. Before it is too late....

    It's good to hear you're making progress. :) That's a good start. Looking back, I definitely wouldn't have been able to go directly from eating how I was before to eating how I am now. Once you start establishing better habits and taking control of your eating, then it becomes easier to make...

  11. Monsta65 starts journey to weight loss

    You're making great progress so far. Keep it up! :)

  12. Time to get cut

    Congrats on your progress so far. Personally, I'd stick with Leangains if it's working for you. It has been one of the best decisions I've made with my own diet, and I'm glad I didn't give anyone a chance to talk me out of trying it. Looking at it casually, it looks like your calories might...

    I'm cheering you on and looking forward to seeing your progress. :)

  14. My Pet Theory of Ideal Weight Loss Regimen; Critique?

    Excess protein isn't needed for anything--that's basically the definition of "excess". ;) And yes, high protein isn't necessary for weight loss (nor is resistance training for that matter); I just assume that when people talk about "weight loss" (especially in a bodybuilding forum), what...

  15. My Pet Theory of Ideal Weight Loss Regimen; Critique?

    Honestly, the most important parts are creating a caloric deficit through diet, get enough protein, and use a strength training program that focuses on the big compound movements and methodically increases the weight being used (or perhaps climbing up a rep range before increasing weight). The...
