  4. quick Keto Diet question

    What happens when you fall out of ketosis - does your body convert the carbs immediately to fat, do you get really tired? Do you have to decrease your carb intake slowly going into keto and increase slowly coming out?
  5. Time Under Tension

    Yes, I've been doing a similar TUT workout Web. I've been doing an 8-1-8 timing scheme with light weights, mainly because I am coming off of a wrist injury and this is all I can handle. It is my only training option and I feel the TUT is working well. After experiencing my injury I have a new...
  6. shoulder & db press

    My left shoulder keeps popping out when I lower the dumbbells to my chest or even lower (while doing dumbbell chest press). Well, I think that’s what the sound and feeling is. I'm using light weights as I'm re-entering the lifting scene and even with light weights I feel my shoulder popping out...
  7. Question about fasted cardio

    If you keep the exercise in the aerobic zone, you should be fine.
  8. How much fiber is too much?

    Yeah I've eaten beans all day sometimes and made it up to~70g+ of fiber. Sometimes there is adjustments to accommodate all that fiber i.e. flatulence lol. I've also read ~30g is a good target number. I think the body doesn't necessarily digest dietary fiber? So technically those calories don't...
  9. Do you let yourself go hungry?

    I've fasted for days earlier this month, just to try it. I've fasted for 1-3 days in the past. I've read fasting for a day or two can greatly increase overall insulin response.
  10. Need some Quinoa recipes idea's

    I like quinoa and blue agave nectar (honey); it’s awesome! Maple syrup works similar too. Regular honey is alright, but maple syrup and agave honey taste similar and well in quinoa, imo. Gives me a reason and a use to buy blue agave nectar, but I don't know how great of a concept that is. Also...
  11. Simple vs Complex and timing

    When you ingest simple carbohydrates: example: 30g carbohydrates x 4 kcal/g = 120 calories, ask yourself are you going to burn 120 calories in the next 30-60 mins? Calories are energy and if they're not utilized they will be stored for survival/future energy. That is just a basic concept. There...
  12. Meal timing

    Sometimes I have a protein shake with maltodextrin in the morning. Sometimes I feel real food is more important and on certain tight schedules where time is limited, I take every opportunity to eat whole food instead. But of course it varies and I am always mixing it up and I advise this option...
  13. Casein Protein Gas Leak?

    How long has it been? Try giving your body time to adjust to the casein.
  14. COFFEE COULD ALSO BE PART OF HEALTHY DIET!

    Yes, once or twice a week is it for me. Sure it may have antioxidant effects, but so do vitamins and so does alpha lipoic acid, acetyl l-carnitine, etc. Just note the negatives and positive and decide what fits for you. Caffeine may have antioxidant effects but it also strains the CNS. Combined...

    Go to a butcher shop or a butcher section in a supermarket. Usually lower prices.
  16. maltodextrin gd for bulking up?

    How well does your maltodextrin dissolve in water? My source is terrible, I have to wait thirty minutes before it's soluble.
  17. Greek Yogurt

    All it is is milk protein concentrate mixed with yogurt. Which is fine, milk can become boring. That's why I personally use cottage cheese at times, just another variation of milk. (Watch the sodium with cottage cheese) Whether the added protein to Greek yogurt is from milk or powder, I don't know.
  18. Empty Stomach?

    Insulin begins to rise shortly after it has reached baseline levels (fasting insulin levels). There is a limited time window when insulin is low and continues to stay low. Since this rollercoaster effect takes place 2-3 hours after a meal, i would recommend taking the supplement 2 hours after a...
  19. Caffeine pre workout. Good or bad?

    I'm not discounting the use of magnesium nor would I of any mineral. I don't know how cost effective magnesium oil is over other options. Other options such as: a multivitamin or ZMA or both. I don't think magnesium oil would be necessary if one was already taking a good multivitamin, a...
  20. L-carnitine health, working out, and dose

    Then you will only get 10% of the total carnitine you ingest orally. A lot of it will be lost through the various pathways it must pass, such as first-pass metabolism. A drug must pass through the digestive system on to the liver. Many drugs are greatly consumed by the liver. Not every drug can...
