Did the HIIT. Diet has been spot on a little over on protein but that's ok. Fat is at about 95 grams right now so I gotta shovel some more down but a couple shots of olive oil plus some nuts and I will be good.
Tomorrow is legs should be hittin some squats to really fire up the metabolism.
Pics will be up in one week.

wouldnt necessarily say they reset them.
Beta agonist increase histamine in the brain which in turn can blunt appetite giving the effect leptin usually has on appetite, but the increase in catecholamines with depress leptin levels.
what this essentially means is he antihistamine will reduce histamine receptors, increase your hunger a little, and when you do start up again on the beta agonist they will be able to work by increasing histamine levels.
the sensitivity to it (not burning more fat) happens at the fat cells them selves, in essence a resistance to the action of adrenaline. Which is more of a reason to take a break. this happens more with clen due to half life then with ephedrine.
you can damage your adrenal glands by over use of any stimulant. your adrenal glands are what secrete the hormones. thus over stimulation, increased stress. depressed leptin = increase glucocorticoids (cortisol) and and end up making you worse for wear if taken for too long.

I know three days is to soon to tell if something is effective or not but I can tell some minor changes mainly that I'm not holding a lot of water. Energy remains good despite staying under 25grams of carbs a day. Today is legs with squats lookin at 315x6 ass to grass plus some other stuff. I don't normally do cardio on leg day but I might go out on a walk for thirty minutes or so

i promise you your problems were glucose related.........most people think they have to take something, when really all they need to do is cut down on the carbs and increase light cardio for 30 min a day

I'm not so hard headed.... I'm open to try new things with my body- helps me learn! I KNOW they where glucose related I have insulin resistance. My body hates complex carbs I have known this for about 6 months. Then i tried all simple carbs like fruit milk etc which worked better but fat loss was still very slow. This seems so far to work the best so far

I find my body had a very very low threshold for carb consumption, well and food consumption lol. I can get away with carb intakes of fruits only when I drop protein out almost completely. Bodycomp wise I look leaner and fuller but I feel like death all day. This works well for looking lean. I drop almost all long sessions of lifting and do a 5x5 type full body with cardio. Then I have to ramp back up protein in about 5 days of this or my body gets really mad and I notice my body starts to eat only muscle as I start looking flatter and feeling weaker.
Anyhow, I am glad the keto is working for ya so far. Gotta get lean so you can hit the next cycle hard and eat up!

Had an absolutely **** workout. Remember how I said my shoulder has been bothering me? Well I've finally concluded that I need to rest off shoulders and chest for about three weeks. I'm still going to hit back biceps triceps and legs it's just I gotta listen to my body.

So how many days are u at with >40g of Carbs. How many lbs have u lost since the first day trying to enter ketosis?
Im just wondering cause ill be starting day 4 in a couple hrs, I've lost roughly 2lbs/1.0% BF with no cardio! Besides a g here and a g there, only carb intake has been from my protein shakes 8g and broccoli 8g. Def >40 ED for 3 days, lol got me backed up though.
My energy was so bad day 2, but I worked 14hrs and had to skip the gym. I feel like I entered ketosis by the articles I've read, I wish I had a tester. Maybe you should pick ip a tester? Hopefully I can keep a good pace today doing legs. Keep up the good work bro!!!

Also you've listed your cal #'s, are u sure your counting all your Carbs, my thought is maybe your Carbs have been too high still. Have u logged all food intake for a couple days or do you count in your head? I don't think your body is messed up bro, just everyone is different.

Hmmm ok, yeah im on digestive enzymes and I always eat broccoli. How's your hunger throughout the day. My stomach had felt pretty empty all the time. But the hunger is very manageable. I feel like im burning off fat when my stomach is empty. Especially when I go to bed man in the morning I feel like my body had no choice but to feed on itself lol. Also how's your energy throughout the day? And you didn't say what day your on since u cheated last.
Funny thing last 3 days, I take benydrl before bed each night so I get a solid sleep. Last 3 days I woke up after 5-6 hours ready to get up no problem. Empty stomach, not really hugry, just fine.

Thirdly how long have you been lifting?

broccoli is good ****, i buy a bag and eat the whole thing for the day.
i would recommend looking into pecans and macadamia nuts as they are mainly just fiber in terms of carbs.
you can get a decent amount of fiber from those if you have what you have. 2 -3 servings will get you about 6-10g of fiber.
broccoli is good, put some EVCO on it with salt, tastes amazing!
fasting.... there is so much science behind it. it works well, but im not one to try and change your mind about it.
however you will see a noticable difference in body comp going from 5-6 meals a day to 2-3. that i will assure you. space meals about 5 hours apart.
