  2. Any Way to Induce Ketosis Faster? Ketosis salts?

    In fact, because of weight gain due to a medication, I may take Metformin just for general medical reasons. Let us see what effects it has.
  3. Any Way to Induce Ketosis Faster? Ketosis salts?

    Thanks. 1. I understand the principal: I need to look at my individual situation, my individual history, and see what works for my individual self. Doing what another person did is a world of difference. 2. I agree, this is easier said than done. Many charlatans saying "functional...
  4. Any Way to Induce Ketosis Faster? Ketosis salts?

    Thanks, guys. Honestly, I am just jealous that weight is so slow to come off, even when I really do stick hard to a caloric deficit plan. I am jealous, and even angry, at people who drop weight super fast with IF, keto, or any other plan. Some of my friends lost 5 lbs a week with IF. Another...
  5. Any Way to Induce Ketosis Faster? Ketosis salts?

    For some reason, I have always failed at ketosis diets. It takes so long to get into ketosis, I never lose much weight while in ketosis, and I have the worst fatigue while in it. 1. For me to show those ketones, using the albeit flawed method of Ketostix, it takes six days of ZERO carbs to do...
  6. What Is the Best Source of Info on Intermittent Fasting?

    Thanks. 1. As far as this info, some of it was left on the clipboard. Hence the identical posting. Thanks for being tolerant. 2. Yes, I agree that I need to do some S.M.A.R.T. goal setting and do. While "Body for Life" is over-hyped, their goal setting process (visualization...

  8. What Is the Best Source of Info on Intermittent Fasting?

    Thanks guys. To me, the main reason I would try, yet again, is the metabolic advantage of this, or any other method. 1. We know "caloric deficit or surplus", over a long period of time, determines weight gain or weight loss. 2. However, since the 1970's, there have been so many methods of...

  11. What Is the Best Source of Info on Intermittent Fasting?

    Hi Everyone, 1. There seems to be so much conflicting information on Intermittent Fasting. What is the best conclusive evidence that it works, and works better than simply cutting calories alone? Any research or actual data, not anecdote? Where are the advantages that make the difficult...
  12. Does Yoga "Blow You Up"?

    One of my co-workers, from many years ago, really believed Yoga could be used in supplement, or even substitute for free weights. He thought Yoga really can add core strength, muscle size, etc. Is there any truth in that? Which yoga, if any helps with bodybuilding goals? My guess is power yoga.
  13. Too Much Sitting All day; Should I Stretch Hip Flexors or Hamstrings First?

    Hi Everyone, As I have posted elsewhere, I have very bad anterior pelvic tilt, tilt sideways, etc., very tight hamstrings, very tight hip flexors, weak glutes, weak abs. 1. I saw the "UnlockMyHips[dot]com". I decided to try it. While I am not fully sure if the science and explanation is...
  14. Any Modifications to Stronglifts.com Workout? Rest Periods? Etc.?

    I have not been to my local gym in six months, due to Coronavirus. I am eager to get started again. 1. I plan to do the 5X5 routine on StrongLifts.com: Invalid Link Removed 2. However, I am trying to modify just a little: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 5 X 5 Squats 5 X 5 Deadlifts 5 X 5...
  15. Best Specific Exercises to Strengthen Abs (and Nothing Else)

    Thanks. I just remember that my core has always been so weak. Even when I was lean, I was slouching, etc. If I had to list my weak links, core strength would be one of them. I like Mark Verstegen's "Core Performance" even though his workouts take so long. So, beyond asthetics, I want...

  18. Where Does Walking Play Into a Health and Fitness Program?

    Hi Everyone, I am wondering, what role does walking around the block have in a fitness program? Can it be deemed essential, optional, or an inefficient use of time? Background: Due to Coronavirus, my gyms have been shut down for months, and I am stuck in my apartment for months. I have...

  20. How Much Do We Need High Amounts of Animal Protein? Research?

    I agree. In my mind, I have a tripartite arrangement: 1. For people who regularly lift weights, etc. it is important not to have deficiencies: A rough guess would be 0.5 grams per pound of lean bodyweight. So, for most people, 50-75 grams would be enough. The amino acid pool lasts a day...
