  1. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Yohimbine and hydrocortisone powder mixed into Aspercreme is my go to. You can also use ice packs to spot reduce.

  2. Transgender Bodybuilding!

    I'm fine to classify body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria as mental illnesses. Neither condition is "normal"

  3. Transgender Bodybuilding!

    You are confusing pedophilia (a mental disorder) with child molestation (an act). If it's "normal" (ie, not a mental disorder) to be gay then why isn't it normal to be a pedophile? Why is one a disorder of brain wiring while the other is not?

  4. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    The reason why those stubborn fat areas warm up during fasting is because the loss of subcutaneous water promotes better blood flow -- excess subcutaneous water compresses small blood vessels. Less blood flow = less fat burning to that area.

  5. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    No worries -- I'm the same way. Probably 20% of my knowledge came from higher education, the other 80% was my own tireless research and self-experimentation.

  6. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Both, but here's the thing that most people don't understand, subcutaneous water in the abdominal region* is difficult to get rid of, it requires an elimination in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by adipocytes and this elimination can only occur when leptin, ghrelin, GH...

  7. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    He will most certainly see noticeable physique changes in one week. He's not going to be shredded, but it will be very apparent.

  8. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    You could get to 6-10% (depending on genetics) and keep it. PM me, I'll coach you on this for free.

  9. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    We haven't really defined "better", but I'll give it a shot: 1. Long term CR lowers GH and IGF-1 significantly and causes a permanent decrease in BMR. This is why CR reliably extends life span in all animal models. 2. Prolonged fasting done one or more times per year, followed by a normal...

  10. Transgender Bodybuilding!

    I think it's fukking disgusting.

  11. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Nailed it.

  12. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Muscle glycogen will not be tapped unless you’re using the muscles. Only liver glycogen is depleted during a fast. I leave it to you to guess the reasons why this is so...

  13. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Elevated GH and cortisol. If your DNA/brain had its choice you would forego sleep and hunt instead. Not being able to sleep well is a survival mechanism.

  14. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    You will also notice by day 4 that your stubborn fat areas are no longer cold to the touch. You'll also probably get hot flushes sporadically from GH surges.

  15. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    The benefits from fasting will occur no matter what you do. I understand being a fasting purist, I used to be one, but for the overwhelming majority of athletes and others I've coached/trained, anything that makes fasting easier is going to have markedly better adherence. This is especially...

  16. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Toxicity is only seen at long-term high doses. Anything less than 8 weeks will not produce toxicity except with extraordinarily high doses of more than 2-3 grams/day. All B-vitamins are water soluble and excess is excreted. The problem with long term very high dose B6 is that it can cause...

  17. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    300 mg three times per day, for no more than 6 weeks. When should you be worried? When the IRS decides to audit you.

  18. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    B6 300 mg, three times daily. OR Macuna, standardized extract, total l-dopa per day of 300-500 mg. OR Selegiline, 10 mg/day. Direct dopamine agonists (pramipexole, cabergoline, bromocriptine, etc) are a dirty way to lower PRL and many are cardiotoxic, not to mention that downregulation of...

  19. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    1. How do you figure he's going to retain belly fat on zero calories? 2. Cortisol is a *catabolic* hormone, it does not directly cause one to gain fat. 3. Excess cortisol increases appetite -- this is the cause of weight gain. 4. Cortisol prevents the excretion of sodium. This is the cause of...

  20. 7 Days fasting. Zero calories for 168 hours. HGP's short log

    Agree on the KSM, and during a fast it's probably beneficial since it's more likely to raise cortisol on a fast than lower it (since that's what's needed), my point was about cortisol, but I could have worded it better. Except that it also increases fT3, which is undesirable, but I'm betting...
