Thanks Rip. It's hard when all these guys are shreddy mcSixpack and I'm over here just doing the natty strongman dadbod thing lol. I do think the results I am seeing from Ursa so far make it worthwhile on its own merit. I'm going to try to use the same spot in my gym with the same lighting to get a progress pic series to figure out if I am just imagining my recomp or if its happening. It's hard because I see myself every day so some of that gets lost
I have been half assing diet frankly. I was at 333lb in august from COVID lockdown depression eating really. At present I am trying to hit 2500-3000 calories daily. Usualy meals will look like this:
Fukk a six bro!!! Big thick guys like us throw them lil 6 packs around the room!!!
Hunger isnt bad really, I stay busy and i have the zyn pouches of nicotine to kill it when it crops up. I feel i could be doing better though. I really need to cut out alcohol entirely as well, but I do so enjoy my friday evening old fashioned. I guess considering I am 20lb down from august and stronger on my lifts by comparison I shouldnt complain. I have a hard time with lifting and body comp right now because I cant help but make the unfair comparison of me on test and tren vs me on just what my body produces lol. Gotta get out of my own head
I'd love to be 260, but I dont know that I have the gumption to cut that long and lose the muscle that would have to come off to get there. Maybe one day. To get to 200 there would have to be a stint in a somali prison camp or maybe an act of congress lol

i have done that with some success in the past, but my 3:30 AM workouts make it less tenable these days
Maybe we'll have you do a Helios log next...
Don't threaten me with a good time lol. I am curious, the improvements from the helios, is it something you run for a few months, improve the healing of problem areas, and then come off and are better for the healuing that took place once the anti-inflammatory works its magic and allows things to heal properly? or is that amisunderstanding of the product?Maybe we'll have you do a Helios log next...

I read you on this. It was a rather open ended question. A product cant be all things to all people.How to make a concise post on this...
Let me start by saying yes; you could use the product that way.
Injuries, chronic pain and the best ways to approach those issues are a topic of some debate and there is value to the body's inflammatory response. So, there is a school of thought that would say use it for a while but not indefinitely. On the other hand, if there's a chronic issue another school of thought that would say chronic inflammation requires chronic use of an anti-inflammatory.
Long story short different people will probably end up using it differently and for different things.
Honestly, I do not think you can find anything that increases metabolism to any significant degree without some increase in body heat, at least none that I know of. Some very extreme stimulants make me feel cold eventually if I go long enough fasting but as soon as I eat it is heat city. At least you know there is a positive effect of the product.
I like an "attack dose" upfront or a "loading dose" to get the pain under control. Once the situation is in hand then you can back down to a lower maintenance dose. If we were talking ibuprofen or baclofen or ketorolac it would be a different story but curc has so many benefits I like to keep it all the time.How to make a concise post on this...

I actually started adding lunches back into my meal plan, fearing that I was going too deep in deficit. I have been eating way below maintenance and actually have seen better effects with a bit more food. My diet has been far from dialed in thus far, so I can happily attribute these beneficent effects to the ursolic acid. It seems to be the real deal in that regard. I'll keep reporting back and dial my diet in better over the next few weeks and keep taking progress pictures
Another thing people forget is when they are dieting the tendency is to be less active and their NEAT can drop substantially if they don’t prioritize activity. Adding in a moderate lunch might even give you the energy to move a bit more.
I dont want to change much, just more consistent so I can track things. Instead of using leftover rice in a varying amount each morning for my eggs and rice just measure it, that kind of thing. That way I can better quantify my macros and know what works and what might need changing
