"it's calorie amount, not type, that matters."
Try replacing 1000 calories from your current diet with 1000 calories of coconut oil and let me know if you still believe this.
Food choices matter.
Some people believe that changing the composition of your diet in terms of carbohydrates and fats will really rev up your metabolism.
But it doesn't.
In isocaloric feeding studies, the difference in energy expenditure is minimal: it's calorie amount, not type, that matters.

My highest states of energy are achieved with a combination of fruit (dates), heavy cream, and of course, coconut oil.
Maybe not the best for weight loss but definitely the best for energy maxxing.
And in some thiamine and you're on top of the world.
I recommend trying out a week where the only time you eat protein is dinner, and you just do like 1.2g/kg total protein. The rest of the day, eat as much sugar (honey, fruits), heavy cream, coconut oil, butter as you want. Energy will go up

I'm still on 200g, but seriously considering testing out the very low protein hypothesis.
I cut down from 300g beginning of the year and I only had positive results.
I've gone as low as 150g for a few weeks and nothing bad happened. If anything, I looked better due to
Been digging into the papers that suggest more protein = more muscle. The claims are not supported by the science.
For example, see this paper. It compared high (2.5g/kg) v. low (0.9g/kg) protein over 8 weeks in female bodybuilders. The girls who ate more protein gained more

At work, we once had a team building day. We went off site, broke into small groups and did a bunch of team building activities and games. My group was 6 people (3 male, 3 female). One of our challenges was to decide which 3 of the 6 would be chosen to survive a nuclear

Exogeneous hormones can turn a beta into an alpha, but that's not normally what happens. It takes balls to take exogenous hormones, so what you normally see is an alpha who becomes super-alpha.

Peaty care package just arrived from
@ForefrontHealth
I have no affiliation with this company, though they should probably sponsor me at this point 🤔
They are a small company, focused on thyroid health.
From what I can tell, they make quality products.

"Hey brother. Was just thinking about you. Hope you're doing well"
Text that buddy you haven't spoken with in a long time. Your simple text might be just what they needed to get them through the day.
It will take you 1 minute.
Huge ROI

That's worth celebrating.

She used to tell me not to get any bigger. I took up the whole kitchen, whole bed, etc..
Now she says I can't get any smaller because she likes to wear my shirts as dresses.
Even this XXL is getting a bit snug. Hopefully she likes XXXLs :)
