Pickles?

They actually compliment each other very well. Dill not sweet... Well maybe sweet, I just ain't a fan of sweet pickles unless they are hot.

I like Peanut Butter and Pickle Relish sandwiches !!

WooHoo, now we are talking. I like it a bit better with dill pickle slices due to the added texture but these are fire!

I have never tried PB on a burger. Now I am curious. I am sure I would like it better than mayo though.

@Rocket3015 I assume your relish is probably sweet and I know you like spicy. These are the only sweet pickles I enjoy. If you have not had them you should definitely give them a try. They are pretty spicy but not worthy if the XXX Hot that is on the label in my spice loving opinion.

Olives??

Not gonna lie, I would definitely order that. I’ve had pb on burgers and it’s not a bad combo at all.

Pb and honey ham is a great sandwich btw!

 

[Rocket3015]

As I read this I am eating a salad with some kind of Hot Pickles in it. I will have to check out the label when I get home !!

I have not tried that one! But I can put PB on anything and for me it instantly makes it better

The wife and I went out to eat to a very high end Italian Restaurant last night with some friends, so I ate very good (aka very bad) and even had desert along with a boat load of good Italian Bread! So no calorie count for today!!!!

Notes; For those of you who follow regularly you know I wine about my shoulder pain all the time, for some strange reason I had almost zero pain doing my presses this week, I have no idea why but it made for a Great Workout !!

 

[Hyde]

The peanut butter probably got down into your shoulder joints and lubed them up.

 

[ZLB70]

I second the peanut butter lube being the fix

Maybe in the supplement logs section? You could start a new thread there for a KetoGenics Zero Carb Protein Review. That way if someone searches for it in the supplement logs section they will see your review on it.

Notes; Todays workout was definitely lack luster, I was just not into it, my knee hurt and my motivation stunk, but like they say any workout you do is better than any one you don't. My but was dragging all day and I just wanted the day to end. I'm sure Sunday will be a much better day, it is suppose to rain most of the day, so I can get a few indoor chores done and get some rest !!

 

[Potbelly]

Do you like push mowing I mean for a workout? I gotta use a rider

 

[Rocket3015]

I have a nice John Deere rider but I only use it to pick up leaves in the fall. Do I like Push Mowing, Sometimes I do find it relaxing (???) but I need to do cardio I have at least (2) lawns that need mowed, so two birds one stone ! Yesterday I did not enjoy mowing at all!!

Hamburger my wife makes still to this day: Has real bacon bits, jalapeno relish and peanut butter. Very tasty!
she made this for me over 30 years ago when we were dating. she's kind of old school. The way to a mans heart is through his stomach.

How do you feel on the SNS Alpha Y?

I have only taken (1) Capsule at a time, the first time I tried it was Fasted Pre-Workout with a Radiate Capsule and I did get a slight case of the cold chills (No Problem) but since than I really can say I "Feel" it ???

That’s great; I don’t want to feel it. I just want it to help with fat liberation quietly in the background. I have seen it work, well, I just don’t want to feel it.

I had some of this once before and @sns8778 told me I think to start out at 1 cap a day and I could work up more (?) I did that with no problems at all.

I woke up at 3am this morning and just did not feel like working out, I had a headache, I was still tired and my whole body ached. So I went back to sleep got up at 5am ate breakfast, got a shower and went to work. At about 8am I thought I feel great!! So the rest of the day was fantastic!! I guess I just needed a rest day. Just don't tell @SHORSE

Just remember that Radiate also has alpha-y, so although it's a blend and we don't know how much per cap, you're doubling up. That's why I'm only running one cap at a time currently.

 

[MrKleen73]

I have found that alpha-y does not give me any negative effects like Y-hcl can. I definitely don't get nauseous from it like if I take too much Y-HCL on an empty stomach. Of course that is only my experience.

@Rocket3015 I went to look up semaglutide, interesting stuff. Although you are already very lean, are you looking at it for lowering BG or are you looking for something to help you lean up more? If something to lean you out you might try low dose clenbuterol if you are already looking into medications. Far cheaper and has been around forever so the health risks are known and easily navigated.

 

[Rocket3015]

@MrKleen73 More curiosity than anything else, I don't think Semaglutide would be a good choice for me, I already have a problem with Hypoglycemia. I may try a bit of a lean bulk over winter and than cut down in the spring. Thank you for you input and suggestion!

Good deal, also with the hypoglycemia, if you really want to get a handle on what is going on see if you can schedule a reactive blood glucose test. They get fasting BG, then have you drink about 100grams of dextrose then take your blood sugar at various time periods following the ingestion of the sugar. It will give a much better picture of what is going on and will give you some insight on how to manage those swings so you don't end up on a carb binge after every time you go hypo. If you have eaten within a reasonable time and are going hypo it could be you produce too much insulin in response to sugars entering the blood stream and it basically shuttles all the BG into the muscle causing you to go hypo, which causes a sugar craving that can easily restart the cycle hence the following binge cycle. I deal with this, and my Dad and sisters also. It is actually pretty common.

I had one of those test years ago and it came back inconclusive, my youngest daughter has the same thing and my grand son has HI ( hyperinsulinism ) so I live in the Low Blood Sugar World. I have learned over the past 50 years pretty much how to keep a handle on it. The biggest mistake I make is when I can tell it is starting to get low and I try to finish a task before attending to it.

Yep Hyperinsulinism is exactly what I was referring to. If you deal with it another option assuming you eat enough carbs regularly, including fruits is to wait the hypo out for about 15-30 minutes. Inevitably your liver will drop you a bit of glucose to correct the situation if you wait and that can break the binge cycle because it normally isn't such a spike that it pushes you back into another cycle of it. I will go from eyes fluttering and barely able to keep them open to full recovery within 15 sometimes 30 minutes. Now I would not do that while doing or trying to finish an activity but if you can just relax for a spell it normally auto corrects.

I have been pretty much MIA since Thursday Evening, Friday when I got off work I went straight to my oldest daughters house and meet my wife to watch the grand kids for the week end. We had a great time, but the kids did wear us out!!
