This is why GH levels skyrocket for the first 3 days. GH is sparing protein and mobilizing some fat for fuel even in the absence of ketosis.
I'm split on this. Starting keto definitely makes it much, much easier, but there's also merit in pushing through day 3 and overcoming. I think for a...
I would eat a very high fat diet on Sunday, zero carbs, limited protein. I would also start taking 300 mg of ALA after every meal starting right now -- this will make your transition to ketosis easier.
For fasting: Monday will be easy, Tuesday harder, Wednesday very very *very* hard, Thursday...
It declines slightly after day 3, but still is very highly elevated for the duration of fasting:
"The 5-d fast resulted in a significant increase in discrete GH pulse frequency (5.8 +/- 0.7 vs. 9.9 +/- 0.7 pulses/24 h, P = 0.028), 24 h integrated GH concentration (2.82 +/- 0.50 vs. 8.75 +/-...
I respectfully disagree.
Muscle loss while fasting is minimal -- estimated to be about a lb every 10 days. You have to bear in mind that after 3 days of fasting GH levels are around 1500-2500% elevated (like being on 7-15 iu rHGH/day pinned every hour), and T3 drops down to just enough to...
Push slowly -- about 15 seconds for a 1.5" needle. Don't jab like a dart, there's no advantage to this. You will feel a sharp pain when the needle begins to poke the outside of a vein which feels nothing like the feeling of a needle pushing into muscle, so just pull out and re-pin if that...
I maintain my adamant stance that AIs should not be used. For E2 control on cycle, Masteron or Proviron should be used. For PCT, SERM only.
AIs are for cancer treatment, and lab numbers are meaningless. Gyno should be treated with raloxifene and a DHT-based drug.
I may post some before and after pics:
1. End of cycle, muscled up, fat (fattest I've been in years) and watery
2. End of PCT and beginning of 14 day keto
3. End of keto and starting fast
4. End of fast
5. End of fast after glycogen refill and with a pump
We'll see. I tend to be camera shy...
Well, given that opiates, endogenous or otherwise, block DA's inhibition of PRL release, it would make sense that a pure opioid antagonist like Naltrexone would reduce PRL levels.
The dose I'm taking though is 1/2 of the smallest starting dose and is not considered sufficient to effect full...
Update: Cruising along nicely 600/600/600 TE/NPP/Mast E, still running Clomid at 25 and Naltrexone at 25. Honestly feeling pretty awesome. Only thing that could make this better would be 30 mg of pharma Var ED.
Still not running any prolactin control...
That's because you stopped right before it got easy. If you had waited 1-2 more days, you'd have been fine. The first 72 hours of a fast for any person who isn't fat-adapted is utterly horrible.
People quit 2 days in because they mistakenly think the whole fast feels like that. It doesn't. By...
Go ketogenic for 7-14 days first and when you end your fast you'll have lost ZERO natural strength. Fasting is like running a very short and very high dose cycle of rHGH, somewhere on the order of 16-20 iu/day.
My ex-wives all say the same thing: “I honestly don’t know if you’re a super-genius or totally insane.”
Umm, both. Duh.
I’ve yet to get someone to fast for at least 7 days who hasn’t called it the most profound experience of their life.
You really get to see and prove to yourself just how...
Me too — as a child, twice, in an inner city. I’m pretty (read: very) messed up psychologically because of it, even decades later.
Homelessness is a literal every day traumatic event to experience. You either go nuts or go numb, those are the only two options.
No training, just long urban hikes.
For the first few days I’ll probably do black coffee/green tea to prevent raging caffeine withdrawal. No other drugs except oral hydrocortisone if my energy is zapped and I need to do something important or that requires stamina, like a 4 hour drive...
This has not, by any measure, been a clean bulk... 10 days just will not be enough time to shred me after this bulk, but 21 will.
Honestly, if you can fast 10 days you can fast 21. After day 5 you're able to just completely dissociate from any desire to eat, especially when every morning you...
