So taking last week as my starting week (Monday) i started off at a small dose of 0.6mg - this week i went up to 1mg and this is where ill be staying for a few weeks - day one - my head knew i had to eat, but i didnt feel like anything so its kinda taking that enjoyment out of it - im normally focused on whats for tea or whats for dinner and looking forward to a big feed at some point in the day - instead i had 3 basic meals to see if i could handle not eating anymore after - 250g of lean mince and 3 boiled eggs for the first meal, once this was eaten i had no interest in eating anymore food and was satisfied that the food i had was good enough - Next meal was the same, the 3rd meal i needed to add some fat as on chekcing my total energy pills for the day was well below what i should be eating - so to bump up my energy pills i added tallow and some cheese - to my last meal, this would also help fuel my next days running, woke up this morning and felt spot on - so went on a good trail run just under 10 miles up and down hills and stuff - was a bit brutal on the hills but thats to be expected, who likes hills ? anyway i had loads in the tank to give it a little push on the last few K - recovery from this - i got to the car and had a bottle of water with electrolytes, felt spot on - i felt empty but not hungry - i then had to go get some bloods done for my cholesterol - done these came back but i wasnt overly hungry, but it was already prepped - i decided to have it and scoffed it with salt and water as well - next meal will be the same mince and eggs - and important is my last meal - again added extra fat to it again to feul tomorrow morning activitys in the gym - so yesterday and today have been pretty good and ive felt different - i also seem to be getting more REM and more deep sleep - time will tell on that thou - so overall the 2nd week so far is sound - finally something that helps me with food noise - its not nice having to deal with food issues as i just want to be kinda normal - so for me its helping - but its still early days - i will continue to update you all and bore the life out of you

As you all know, I said I would raise the group price for new members ( founders are locked) on Oct 1st. I thought keeping it at $40 would encourage more people to join, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Adding detailed content is extremely time-consuming. But I can't make myself produce the shit that everyone else doing this sort of thing seems happy with. Thoughts anyone?

Chaps and Chpaesses - do any of you use a Pre workout - ive used one in the past - Beast Stim - knocked my socks off - but im looking into the actual benefits of adding in maybe a non stim pre - currently i have salt (This is my own mix of Celtic, potassium and taurine) water and creatine, EAAs Intra workout and more salt and water after my workout (Gym) - ill have a double expresso and sip this on the way to the gym - i like a morning coffee fix - Come on peeps give some feedback for once 🤣 - happy monday

Every series like this should end by saying where it stops. Here is where this one stops. The cap is a policy, not a physiology. The plan slows fat loss to 290 kJ (69 kcal) a day per kilogram of fat mass, falling as fat falls. That number comes from a 2005 model and has never been tested directly. What is measured is the reason for the cap: at 2,090 kJ (500 kcal) a day, 8.8% of the loss was lean; at 5,230 kJ (1,250 kcal), 1.3%. Slower loses more fat and maintains resting metabolism better across pooled trials. (R§11) Verified for the lean cost; Assumption for the number. There is no daily ceiling on fat oxidation, and that is measured three ways. Fat oxidation kept rising through 60 hours of fasting in a chamber. (R§8) Three lean men on 3,350 kJ (800 kcal) a day oxidised 177 g of fat a day, about 6,550 kJ (1,565 kcal). (R§8) A man in Dundee ran about 10.5 MJ (2,500 kcal) a day from his store, every day, for 382 days, under supervision. (R§9) The deficit sets the rate. Verified. A crash deficit does not make you fatter. Twenty people on 2,500 to 3,350 kJ (600 to 800 kcal) a day for four months lost 16.5 kg of fat on a DXA scan. (R§10) What it does is take the loss from the wrong tissue. You get smaller in the wrong proportions. Verified. Individual variation is enormous. More than half the variance in maximal fat oxidation between athletes is unexplained by body composition or fitness. (R§63) Nothing in this series predicts your rate. Verified. Liver bloods say less than people think. AST and ALT clear from the blood at different speeds, about 1.13 days and 0.47 days. So the ratio keeps shifting after the injury has stopped. A falling ratio does not mean recovery, and a single reading tells you little. (Sherman & Goessling, 2024, from 6.5 million measurements; R§50) Verified. Four things nobody has tested. Whether sodium replacement relieves the first-week symptoms; the mechanism is measured, the relief is not. (R§29) Whether the fasted-morning rise in one day's fat oxidation adds up over weeks; the day is measured, the weeks are not. (R§35)
