New Regular Feature: The Monday Moron Medical Monitoring Thread
I'm going to do this Monday because -- you may have noticed -- it really takes me a while to get going on Mondays. Might as well do a post on Sunday that I can hold over for Monday.
Anyway, if you're now doing some kind of health regime, get your data ready to post on Monday. If you're on the "Take weekends off" type regime, maybe take your data today or tomorrow a.m. I'll also post those stupid health tips I see. Like I'll mention cinnamon in the next one. I know most of this is crap, and I know some will say, "Ace, boy you're dumb. All that supplement crap is for the dummies. It's a sales gimmick." Yeah, I kind of know that, Ill-Tempered Hypothetical Critic, but I have to tell you, there's often a good psychological benefit to this bullshit. If I accept -- wrongly -- that St. John's Wort will give me an extra boost in muscle growth when I lift, buying St. John's Wort will probably give me bigger gains. Not because If-I-Believe-It-It-Must-Be-True or the placebo effect. No, I'll probably have better gains because, now armed with a (fake) magic potion, I'll probably hit the gym more often than I otherwise would have. After all, gotta get the full benefits of this Magical St John's Wort Muscle Stimulator. And of course, there is real stuff mixed in with the bullshit or "bro-science" as weightlifters call it; cinnamon is a stimulant, and, like any stimulant, it will help reduce weight a bit simply by boosting resting metabolism. But, you know, there's like five things that actually have proven effects (beet juice powder will knock about 5 mm Hg off your blood pressure, for example; not a lot, but it's something), so expect mostly bullshit. I might just make shit up like Chocolate Gives You Longer, More Spiritually Fulfilling Orgasms. Seems to be what "nutrition scientists" and the media do, anyway. Also, there was continuing chatter in the last thread. Check it out if you like. For eample, if you like pizza, buy those low-carb tortillas they have at every supermarket. It makes for a low (6g) carb "pizza crust" for oven-baked pizza. 8-9 minutes at 450 or 500 degrees. Watch it, because when it's ready at this temperature it turns and burns fast. That's actually my own recipe, by the way. I think. I think I just noticed those in the market and realized I could use them for pizza. Hmmm... Solution to bunless burgers: Toast a portobello mushroom and use it as the bottom bun for a burger. It will retain some of that sweet sweet fat that has most of the burger flavor.

Good! Glad to see you taking my advice! Like I said yesterday:
Take some time off from the usual grind.
Do something different.
You'll feel great!
Also, if you happen to have any checks for 60 million dollars lying around, endorse and deposit that sucker! Really peps up your day!
Then maybe treat yourself to a mocha or something afterwards, why not?

I've been doing IF since Ace's article came out 2 weeks ago. I really like it a lot. I NEVER thought I could lift in the 'fasted state.' So much so that I took 2 protein bars with me to the gym the first time because I KNEW I was gonna crash during the workout. Never happened. In fact, I have better workouts than before.

"I believe that's because the bread of a bun soaks up the fat of the meat, and fat is flavor."
Butter is the secret in the brioche buns that Whole Foods is selling now. Butter is fat and fat is flavor.
If you're going to eat burgers, buy the best buns, butter them and toast them on a griddle.

I don't buy them much anymore but I freakin' love nutritional supplements. I love the pseudo-scientific packaging and the cargo cult pictures of molecules. I love the fancy reflective paper. I think some sick part of me likes how overpriced they are because it proves they must be valuable. I love that every few months a new breakthrough molecule is found, some new form of creatine dry-oxy plus-omega. HMB. OKG. I have probably wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on these products, but I am strangely not upset about it. Those were some heady days in the gym lifting like I was on some kind of Spartan mission to slay a dragon.

My girlfriend got me to start running. She's been working on her wait for a while now, what with dieting and exercising, and I really haven't been worrying about that kind of stuff because I figure I want to enjoy while I can not having to count calories or spend much effort to stay in decent shape. I walk to/from work every day, so I average just under 5 miles and 10,000 steps daily that they recommend for you.
She really wants me to run a half (or a full) marathon with her, but I really just don't have the motivation to do something like that. I'm sure I could physically do it, but to properly train for something like that, you're going on runs for 3+ hours on your own, on more than one day out of the week. That's just too much of a time commitment for me.

No, deadlifts were the primary move today, but I also worked out upper back before beginning deadlifts. Monday is squat day, but also biceps after squatting. Wednesday, heavy bench and triceps (the exercises for both vary from Wednesday to Wednesday); Saturday is shoulders, very light bench and more triceps. So four days lifting total.

>>no one cares about a .2 pound loss overnight
You know, a few years back, I went against the CW on weighing, and weighed myself twice a day. First thing in the morning, last thing at night.
It was VERY educational. I tended to lose 2 lbs, not point-2, but 2.0 pounds overnight.
It culiminated in one weekend where I gorged on everything and gained 13 pounds. In one weekend. By the next monday, I had lost 12 of it.
They say "Don't weigh yourself so much, or you'll get freaked out and discouraged." I say, "Weigh yourself all the time and you'll realize how meaningless any given reading is."

I've tried burgers between two portobello mushrooms before. It's okay, but strong on mushroom flavor and perhaps a bit tough. Best to shave them down also, they can make the burger too tall.
I like wrapping the burger in lettuce though. In-N-Out's protein burger is a great, but it is a mess.

Ace,
You couldn't be more mistaken about the appeal of bread with a burger.
Here in California we have In & Out hamburger chain that serves a protein burger that has all the ingredients for a regular burger, but wrapped in iceberg lettuce instead of bread.
Delicious!
If you don't have a local In & Out, you really should give it a try at home. Just make sure to load it up with all the fixings, and you're good to go.

48 SH -- at the time, I was doing simple calorie reduction.
I read Fung's book (YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!) and he says so much that I've learned in the past five years, one of the most interesting ones I've seen people balk at being:
EVERY diet works.
I've never met a diet that didn't result in weight loss (unless it's, like, GOMAD, or something designed to increase weight).
It's like the Ferris book Ace mentioned: Yeah, just writing down what you eat helps. But also in that same book, there was a guy who just noted his weight in a spreadsheet, and it went down.
We do a lot of harm when we're not looking. (Not to get into politics again. =P)

Good to hear you're lifting ace. It's amazing the positive affects it can have on your body -- mentally and physically.
I do a a 5 day body part split, with legs twice per week. I've been lifting for years now and have a lot of free time outside work so I can get away with that I just added in legs twice per week b/c my squat sucks. It's been making a difference.

So what's the story on flax meal? The nutritional label says 8gr carb per serving and 8gr fiber. Which Atkins would call a net zero. I've been adding it to salads and stuff just to get some carbish mouth feel and it doesn't seem to be hurting as far as ketosis goes.
I even used it to bread some pork that I fried in lard. It was delicious.

Remember how you said you lose weight before you see the doctor? Would posting your weight every Monday provide similar motivation?

Also, use iceberg lettuce instead of tortillas for tacos. It's a taco lettuce wrap. Way less carbs and delicious. Problem is I can eat like 20 of them at a time.

I find there is an early window of opportunity in
the morning where your body has rock solid blood sugar levels and can
work out HARD. For me after about 9 am this ability goes away...
Posted by: Max Power at July 22, 2016 02:51 PM (q177U)
I'm at the gym from 1000-1130 lifting...by the time I get back home it's around Noon - exactly when my fasted state comes to an end. I have my post-workout protein shake as soon as I get home. But I put off that first meal until 1:00, which is easy to do. Today my first meal was two fried eggs and some bacon. In two hours I'll have a protein bar with a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter - for the fat content, at 4:00 pm I'll have 2 turkey wraps with a slice of cheese rolled inside, 2 grilled chicken thighs at 6:00 with some broccoli and baby bell peppers, and then a casein protein shake at 8:00. That's all the eating for the day.

The thing that sucks the most about working out is what you build to in a year takes less than half of that time to lose it.
I used to do a 1000 rep cross fit routine ( ten different body weight exercises 100 reps each , 90 minutes max) not that long ago. It would take me two days to complete now if ever.

Strongly recommend you look into testosterone supplements. My testosterone is in the normal range but lower than the midpoint, and when I started taking a couple of supplements, I felt like I started making much more rapid gains in lean muscle, burning off more fat, and just having more energy in general. I'm 42, for reference.
I would not say it's dramatic. It's not like having three stiff drinks before getting on a plane, where you feel a difference in 90 seconds. But it's noticeable.
Thanks for the tip on intermittent fasting. I've been doing that (no intake between 8 PM and noon) and it's helped a lot too.

"But you do lose fat.
"
So I have a way to get looooots of fat but it's messy and not a eat with your hands thing.
I make a loco moco burger thing over rice (but that can be switched to riced cauliflower to drop the carbs)
So you make a cheese burger, then fry an egg in the grease.
After that make a roux with some gluten free flour and add cream/ seasoning to make a gravy.
Pour the gravy over the burger/fried egg.
Oh, and pork rinds can be used to bread anything for frying.

Smoke cigars, drink beer every day, work at a job that requires being outdoors and/or physical exertion, eat what you want when you're hungry. It's worked for me, I can still fit in my Class A uniform from 1991.

The 80's called.....
Your body doesn't work one body part at a time.
Training "functional strength" as crossfitters like to call it, or doing routines like PPL (push pull legs) are good for a while, as you point out working muscles together that work in tandem. Eventually, you'll want to do more volume to make the muscles grow, and focus on weak spots, that's when a body part split is good.

the problem with this advice, often offered by people with no weight problem, is that you do not have the dysregulation in your bodily insulin that causes weightgain.
You're recommending a regime that "works" for you but only because you do not have the underlying metabolic disease that causes weigyt gain.
Sure, your regime works. Any regime would work for you. You do not have chronic hyperinsulimia syndrome.

OT but related to health. I just got my statement from united Healthcare for the month of June. I had $394 charges from my doctor which included all the tests being run. Medicare paid $128. My Supplement F Insurance paid $13 and some change. On drugs medicare paid for most of it, by insurance paid nothing. I paid the rest.
If this keeps up I will drop all this insurance that is costing me out the ass. But I can see my doctor was telling the truth when he told me he lost money every time a medicare patient walked in the door.

I love burgers. Love them, but they make me fat. Back in college I had a moron theory that if I just worked in a restaurant with the food I loved, I'd hate it for the rest of my life because the smell would get to me, or something. So I worked as a line cook in a TexMex place.
Didn't work. I used TexMex ingredients to make myself a delicious, delicious burger every shift. Sometimes took one home for later, too.
So here I am now, middle-aged and a good 35 pounds overweight. But it used to be fifty pounds overweight.
What I do with burgers now is just remove the top half of the bun. Weight loss is a game of inches.
Another thing you can do is get some vinegar action going, which reduces the glycemic index of carbs, or so I've read, so your body won't be hit by an avalanche of sugar. I do a small green salad with a balsamic dressing with my burger instead of fries (well, sometimes I steal a fry or two from my kids and dip it in the balsamic - it's delicious) or heck, just drink some water with a couple teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in it before the meal if I'm making burgers at home.
Oh, I do like the idea of posting stats on Monday. Looking forward to them. 192 today, trying to get down into the low 160s or high 150s

Training "functional strength" as crossfitters like
to call it, or doing routines like PPL (push pull legs) are good for a
while, as you point out working muscles together that work in tandem.
Eventually, you'll want to do more volume to make the muscles grow, and
focus on weak spots, that's when a body part split is good.
Posted by: brak at July 22, 2016 03:01 PM (MJuTN)
Don't get me started on crossfit. Oly lifts at breakneck speed for the general population...no, just no. Not to mention the stress it puts on your body and joints. Yes, I know....tons of people do it. Doesn't mean tons of people haven't been hurt or will find out later what they've done to their body. /crossfit rant off.
Muscles grow when you progressively increase the difficulty of exercise using many muscle groups at the same time. Weak spots will strengthen also.

i take vinegar at night to push my insulin down in the overnight hours.
insulin is an antagonist/suppressor to human growth hormone, so hopefully the vinegar is also indirectly boosting HGH.
not sure if any of that works. Fung says it might work, though. But he's not sure.

My advice on weighing thyself-- do so just once a particular day, same time every day you weigh if at all possible. (Like right after you get up and use the bathroom and before you have anything to eat or drink.)
Every day if you can swing it, but at least once a week. (I weigh myself Saturday and Sunday mornings, because I have enough trouble getting to work on time as it is-- so , so lazy.) If you miss a day, or week, or something, just weigh as soon as you remember.
Then graph the shit out of it. Microsoft Excel if you have it, or OpenOffice.org has a nice spreadsheet program.
Yeah, numbers and +/- are nice to read, but the visual of a nice graph is cool.
Especially over a long period of time and if you're successful.

>cinnamon is a stimulant, and, like any stimulant, it will help reduce weight a bit simply by boosting resting metabolism.
Not so much if you eat it in an awesome dessert, which tends to be the only time I eat cinnamon! I do like cinnamon tea, though.
I'm taking a probiotic now. I don't know what all that's supposed to do, but I'm taking it for a specific reason and its helping there.

I took up krav maga a couple of years ago, went sporadically, but then got serious and started going 4x per week.
Haven't burned fat per se, but the muscle is moving around. It's taught by cops and they can be sadistic, which is ok. There is a nice workout for 10-15min at the beginning then move on to the teaching.
One of the guys in class is 69. He looks like he's in his 50s.
It's good knowing how to hit someone effectively in the eyes, throat and balls.

Has anyone found that the time of day when you break your fast during intermittent fasting makes a difference? I have found if I eat a huge breakfast and a light lunch I lose more weight than if I eat in the evenings, even if the hours and basic types of calories consumed don't change. I can eat eat anything I want,including carbs, in the morning and fast after lunch and get results. That doesn't hold true for nighttime dining.

I know this is a meat-lovers' blog, but I gotta tell ya, I haven't eaten meat in 20+ years, and I feel very healthy -- healthier now that I did feel as a meat-eater 20 years ago.
I'm so healthy that I basically never go to the doctor.
However, last year, at the urging of loved ones, I was cajoled to go to a doctor for "a checkup." He found nothing wrong with me, and then did a "blood workup" where they take blood and do every imaginable test on it. When the results came back, the doctor told me that (his exact exact words) I "could not be healthier" and that my "numbers were amazing" and that he "was jealous" of me because on every imaginable criteria I was in perfect shape or better.
Personally, I ascribe this to two things:
-- No meat;
-- Intentionally ultra-low-stress lifestyle.
Of the two, I think the second is actually more important.
Stress leads to cortisol. Cortisol, over the long term, screws up every system in your body.
So chill, and have some tofu.

It's worked for me, I can still fit in my Class A uniform from 1991. My
older brother tells me that I'm about to "hit the old man wall" and
start getting fat, having to watch my diet, etc. Hasn't happened yet,
though.

That works fine until you cross 40. You will start picking up weight then. When you do retire it will go on like loading a truck.

less "humping the bar swinging like a monkey" pullups at the gym so that's a good thing.

The pull-up cheaters. It's pathetic. Someone with a towel handy should give them a rat-tail for every cheating pull-up.

They call it kipping....I have a different word for it. They couldn't do one real pullup if you held a gun to their head.

my dear friend has been trying to get me to take an equine probiotic supplement that she says has changed her life. i would be skeptical except that shes had colon cancer and has had issues ever since with gut health and now thats not really a problem for her any more. i dunno though. i think i am still skeptical.
i have been on the intermittent Fasting and high protien low carb diet and lost 18 lbs, so there is that. I have requred cortisone shots for my back and every time i got one i would gain 10 lbs. it was worth it in terms of gaining functionality. bad in terms of BP.

>>>145 ace, do you take the vinegar straight, or do you mix it with water or something? I downed a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar once and thought I was going to die.
i take it with water, ice, and stevia, but honestly, I might just start doing it by the spoonful, because it's hard to drink a big glass of water that tastes like vinegar.
I often wind up drinking half or less.
there's not really a good way to take vinegar. I think maybe just putting in in a smaller cup of water and gulping it down like alchohol might be a good way.

I'm so healthy that I basically never go to the doctor.
However, last year, at the urging of loved ones, I was cajoled to go to a doctor for "a checkup." He found nothing wrong with me, and then did a "blood workup" where they take blood and do every imaginable test on it. When the results came back, the doctor told me that (his exact exact words) I "could not be healthier" and that my "numbers were amazing" and that he "was jealous" of me because on every imaginable criteria I was in perfect shape or better.
Same here. But I eat like a pig.
Pissed them off at the office.

"No, I'll probably have better gains because, now armed with a (fake) magic potion, I'll probably hit the gym more often than I otherwise would have. After all, gotta get the full benefits of this Magical St John's Wort Muscle Stimulator."
well that is why I can never bring myself to buy the weight loss or cleansing potions. They usually say something like "avoid the *toxic* foods and alcohol while you do this" As a cynic I know that its just the eating right while taking the potion that helps. If it is not something that at least tells me it will reduce my cravings for junk its just handing money to modern snake oil salesmen.

Totally untrue. Kipping isn't working the *strength* from the pullup strictly (actually if done right, you're not using much upper body strength at all). It's actually a very aerobic thing. The problem I have with it is that you might as well just be running and save your hands, because that stuff will rip your hands up bad.
And I hate running.

What you need to do is read a bunch of stuff about supplements and then go out and buy a big EXPENSIVE bottle of Whatever pills.
Put the bottle on the kitchen counter for about 7 days, no more than 10. Every time you see it say, "I need to start taking that stuff." This should be said, silently or aloud, at least 5 times a day.
After that period, put it in a cupboard and let the bottle sit for at least 3 years, until the sell-by date has well passed. Clean out the cupboard, discard the outdated bottle of pills.
Repeat this procedure as often as you like.

I've been doing the IF thing - really, just skipping breakfast and eating lunch and dinner - for a couple weeks now, and much to my surprise I haven't starved to death. I haven't changed my diet otherwise; for now, I'm just adjusting to the idea of eating less on a daily basis and maybe giving my body a chance to burn off some of the blubber that's accumualted since my mid-30s. At some point, maybe I'll start exercising again. Baby steps, baby steps.

And speaking of supplements, all you weightlifters, - experienced or otherwise - should be taking magnesium for nervous system support. (For that matter, everyone should be supplementing with magnesium whether you lift or not.) And not just any magnesium...read the label. The basic magnesium supplement you buy in Walmart/CVS/Walgreens is magnesium oxide, which is mostly worthless. It has a bio-availability rate of only 4 percent. Instead, get magnesium chloride which is closer to 80 percent, meaning you are getting the benefit. Magnesium Glycinate Chelate is also good.
I buy my magnesium chloride on-line via Amazon Prime.

I am sort of into supplements a bit but I'm selective.
I've been taking Ginko for years, and feel my memory had improved and got the SO to take it and he feels his has improved too. Ginko helps build capillaries in the brain, so the 'not verified by the USDA' benefit is increased blood flow to the brain, which people believe helps memory. It's subtle, but over time I really feel there is a difference, as in even sometimes when I am butt ass tired I can remember something I would normally forget.
The other supplement I take is collagen/resveratrol, although I don't take the three pills they recommend, just 1-2 a day. After a while your body produces less collagen which makes your skin look saggy but apparently if it is available, your body will use it.
The last thing I suggest people read about it metformin, which is used by adults for type 2 diabetes. It is being hailed as a potential life extending drug, although you have to be careful about lactic acidosis, which people with kidney disease or high daily consumption of alcohol really have to worry about, (it can also give you diarrhea, and I don't mean of the mouth). I have to be on it for the next few months for something, and I wish I could be on it longer - it has helped my sleep, and I had hit a plateau but am slowly losing weight, I think because my blood sugar is under control and more importantly I am able to resist cravings better.
And I've been absent for a while, was editing my latest book and had a deadline for that, but I've seen mentions that ace is quitting?!?!?!? Scrolled down and didn't see a thread about it, nor is it pinned... care to fill in?

I have hit a plateau.. I slowly lost about 30 lbs since Christmas just doing lower carbs.. I won't say low carbs, because I do eat some.. just cut back.
But I think I have to step it up to get passed this plateau.
I'd be happy to lose another 30, but the truth is I could lose 80 or 90 to get to "ideal" weight.. but with bad knees, I don't have the option of adding a lot of exercise to the mix to speed things up.
I guess I'll try the intermittent fasting again for a while.

I'd been lifting for years and Rippetoe kind of killed that.
Why? I can't squat. I fall over. But I feel dumb going back to my old routines (even though they were effective, at least to a point).
Right now I'm doing something really uncharacteristic and against all the cutting edge: It's called the Mafetone Method, and it involves aerobics at a low heart rate (180 - Age - 5 if you're out of shape, basically).
It's completely anti-no-pain-no-gain. And I wonder if it's not more effective for building aerobic muscles.
When you start, though, you're not supposed to do any anaerobic workouts. Which is just like Rippetoe, interestingly, who says not to do any endurance work while starting your strength training.

I have to be on it for the next few months for something, and I wish I could be on it longer - it has helped my sleep, and I had hit a plateau but am slowly losing weight, I think because my blood sugar is under control and more importantly I am able to resist cravings better.
how do you get that? I read about that a lot and wondered. I'm not diabetic. I assume I have to be diabetic to get a prescription.
eh, i'll stay away from drugs i'm not supposed to be on, maybe.

They call it kipping....I have a different word for it. They couldn't do one real pullup if you held a gun to their head.
The real crossfit guys could certainly do a good number of real pull-ups (they are in great shape) but they could never do the numbers they pretend to do with the spastic writhing their way up to the bar (and many don't get their chins over the bar, either).
When we used to do the Presidential Fitness thing in high school we were not allowed to move our lower body during the pull-ups. The crossfitters should have the decency to just name those exercises something else - not just call them "kips" but have the official name be kips, since we know they aren't pull-ups.

One more thing, for anyone doing high protein, low carb, PLEASE go to the doctor and have your kidney numbers checked. I know two people, one is 27 (!), who have discovered they have kidney disease. There are no symptoms until late and you've lost most function. Protein molecules are large, so they are harder on the filtration system of the kidneys so if you already have kidney disease, it accelerates the degradation.

I've gotten tons of gains while using supplements. But it's true - I can't isolate which is placebo effect, which is the supplements making me exercise more, and which is actual, tangible benefits from the supplements. I *do* research which products seem to help more than others, but I can't be sure some of my supplements aren't snake oil.

Then explain to me why they 'count' during it? What are they counting?
They're counting the reps, yes.
You're missing the point of the workout though. It's not about *strength* per se, it's about work done over time. They're doing the workouts as fast as possible. So "more reps" equals "more work done" OR "all reps done in less time" equals more work done in a shorter time. It's not about HOW they do the pullups, but how many they're doing in a certain amount of time.
Hell, kipping isn't even the biggest form of "cheating" what you're likely complaining about is "butterflying", which is even sillier, and faster.
I'm pretty sure that Rich Froning, for instanct, could do as many strict pullups as you ask him to, but you won't see him doing them as part of a crossfit workout unless they're specified...

there are squat alternatives including the goblin squat and holding a heavy dumbell at chest level.
Both are squats, but they don't involve the barbell on the back, which is where I assume your balance issues come in.

i take it with water, ice, and stevia, but honestly, I might just
start doing it by the spoonful, because it's hard to drink a big glass
of water that tastes like vinegar.
I often wind up drinking half or less.
there's not really a good way to take vinegar. I think maybe just
putting in in a smaller cup of water and gulping it down like alchohol
might be a good way.

Apple cider vinegar? Vicious stuff, taken straight. The Borgias should have used it instead of arsenic. However, if you mix it with water and sip it from a wine glass, you can tell yourself it's some expensive white wine that has gone off a little, and you need to drink it before it's ruined.

Boost metabolism just do the ECA stack. Look it up. Bunch of super effective diet pills (TrimSpa etc) were based on it until the FDA made ephedera illegal to use in diet pills. Some dope kid took too much and died at football practice in 105 degree heat in Illinois and his mom predictably went before congress and said "Wah... my son was a retard... do something!" and of course they banned ephedera which was super effective. Anyway, you can still get ephedera and create your own ECA stack. Really keeps the appetitie in check and and boosts the resting metabolism. Weight falls off quick.

Ah, but you are wrong, Ace. All sorts of vinegar-y drinks are now being marketed that are pretty delicious.
First, look into switchels -- vinegary drinks that were popular in 18th-century and 19th-century America. Various hipster companies (several in NY) are making and selling these now. Vinegary AND tasty.
Also, same with "shrubs," which are usually used in mixed-drinks, but can be drunk straight, too. Shrubs are more vinegary than switchels, usually, but otherwise are similar.
Also, there is a company called Pok-Pok that make excellent Thai-style "drinkable vinegar" for the US hipster market.
Also, look into the "Gut Shot" company that makes drinkable pickle juice and vinegary beet juice. Quite good.
Combined, there are all sorts of way to have vinegar in your diet that is drinkable and even tasty.

Ace--"But do you lose fat?"
I have, but I'm fairly regimented in both my eating habits and my exercise. And I can't even call it "eating habits" because I've always loved meat/fish, green vegetables, and dairy.
To my mind, exercise is key. Not only do I get the benefits of increased strength and stamina, but I feel sharper and more focussed in my thinking too.
Like I said in an earlier post, I'm 52 and in the best health ever.

I cook bacon in the oven because I hate greasy splatter and the oven can clean itself. Anyway, I preheat the oven to 460 and put the bacon (on a cookie sheet) in when the temp is about 360. Still keep an eye on it (takes about 10 minutes or so) because if you go downstairs and get caught up in watching TV or reading AofS, it CAN BURN...

Check out the corps strength website for some good suggestions. I am addicted to high intensity anaerobic exercise with a mixture of exercises that works different body parts with an ever increasing cycle of repetitions (and running distance). That plus a healthy strength lifting routine will keep you in great shape.

When you finish that jar of pickles don't toss the jar and brine, fill it with peeled cloves of garlic and let it sit in the fridge for a week or so. Occasionally eat the now pickled cloves of garlic straight or haave a spoonful of the brine.

Ace,
I love this. Gets us away from politics, and I will be posting my stats on Monday before being off the net for two weeks.
Because you are hopefully reading this, I would like to go off topic. Have you ever thought, if you stop doing this blog, of moving upstream in Andrew Brietbart's sense of politics being downstream from culture. You are a seriously funny and insightful person. You have talent. Maybe you should be writing movie scripts or something like that.

"there are squat alternatives including the goblin squat and holding a heavy dumbell at chest level.
Both are squats, but they don't involve the barbell on the back, which is where I assume your balance issues come in.

Isn't it "goblet"? You know, cuz you're holding the dumbbell/kettle bell like you would a goblet if you were drinking from it.

I thought the new theory for muscle building was the extended rest cycle. Bust ass for 8 weeks and then do no lifting for 2 to 3 weeks , wash , rinse repeat.
I guess the simple explanation is to break the muscle down to where it grows as it is repairing . Allow it to repair completely , and tear it down again .

>>Both are squats, but they don't involve the barbell on the back, which is where I assume your balance issues come in.
Nope. When I drop my thighs below knee level, I fall backwards. So I've been doing squats for years and feeling like I've been getting low but never once below thigh level.
If I hold on to something I can do it, though if I do that too much I get pain in the lower back, hips and/or hams. I'm trying to build up, though, and figure I might be able to go back to weights by the time I'm past the starting point of the Maffetone program.
(I miss my weights, though.)

They say that whatever weight or body shape one has at 60 years old, that will probably be your permanent condition until you die. It's why I don't pay much attention to diets or holistic approaches to body maintainence. I eat what I want when I want it.
And, yes, I'm overweight, but I can still do all the things I want to do. I can still walk whatever distance I need to walk, mow my yard, do whatever lifting needs to be done, go scuba diving, etc. I'll die when God says it's time for me to die. Nothing I can do to prevent that.

You're attempting 'ass-to-grass' squats. Stop it.
Do box squats instead. Most gyms have a platform these days...at various heights...that prevent you from going below parallel. Don't go below parallel. Unless you're 20 and indestructible. And box squat with a wide stance and your toes pointed outward...takes all the stress of your knees and enables the work to be done by your quads, hams, glutes and hips. As intended.

My hand surgeon suggested that I take a Curcumin supplement to help with my arthritis. It's suppose to have great anti-inflamatory properties. It took about 4 weeks but I have totally stopped taking the daily Advil/Aleve. It still hurts but it is better than it was and if I can quit killing my liver with meds that's a good thing. My blood work shows that I have a deficiency of vitamin D. So I'm looking for a good D-3 supplement.

Many years ago, I had a pretty fine rowing machine. The load (which could be ajusted) was actually a small alternator. The output of the alternator drove a microcomputer-controlled load. The microputer also measured the *exact* energy delivered to the load.
The consequence was that the cumulative work done could be accurately displayed in calories.
My experience was that it takes a *lot* of effort to burn off a bottle-of-beer's-worth of calories. I don't think I ever worked off more than 150 calories at a sitting, and that took maybe 1/2 hour of steady, hard rowing.
YMMV

Sixkiller --
I'm not actually attempting ass-to-grass, except when I'm not using weight and holding on to something. For weighted squats, I have a cage, and a I have a bench, and I'd be happy if I could do a box squat but I can't even get parallel.
I just saw a documentary, "My Love, Don't Cross That River" about an old Korean couple who have known each other 75 years. I noted the 96+ year old guy, who was dying of, I dunno, consumption, still had no problem squatting.
Also, none of the pain I get from squatting is in the knees. It's all in the pelvic girdle region, down the thighs. I think handling that is probably more important than the actual squat. I may try that DDP yoga people were yakking about yesterday.

Ace I seem to have noticed your 'goal' as being 150 pounds. Was that a typo? I assume you're in the average height range for a male and that seems really low. Especially if you're doing some weight lifting.
Not to get all mathematical, but I think for an adult male with a fair amount of muscle 2.5# of weight per inch of height would be a good goal. Probably slightly on the unreasonable side.

Logically it should be right? The less fat you have stored, the hungrier you are going to be when you fast?

My low-carb ersatz pizza: make crust from a mix of ground turkey, almond meal, an egg, and some italian spices. Bake that first for a few minutes, then top like a regular pizza.
People should bear in mind that there is not one solution to all weight problems. Those who only need to lose a few pounds for optimal health probably can just do the "eat a little less, exercise a bit more." For those of us in the insulin-resistant camp, that simply does not work. I have been in medically-supervised programs, followed the instructions to the letter, and after plateauing, GAINED weight.
That's why I am interested to learn about IF. I need to reset my insulin, bad. If it does that, a few gnawed arms on my co-workers is a small price to pay, right? Human flesh is low carb!

Believe it or not, Ace, I'm on it for fertility. It's been shown to increase fertility and I am on an IVF cycle.
When I can't take it any more I am considering going to a longevity doctor because I have heard they prescribe drugs for non traditional uses that your normal GP is reluctant to do. Since you've read about it you know there are even indications that it can help prevent cancer.
Controlling insulin though seems like a no brainer, makes total sense with regard to wear and tear on the body and weight. Just being on it for a month and a half earlier this year and the same now and for another month, I notice the difference. I work from home, and if I got bored or stressed would snack and 'try' to be healthy but you know how it goes. I find it easier to tell when I am 'full' too, and push the food aside. Having more regulated blood sugar has been a great.
If you have hyperinsulimia, is it possible to get metformin through that route?

I do think turmeric is good stuff. Anecdotally my older dogs with minor arthritis both started moving better after I started giving them some. I take some too but I'm still taking Alleve so I can't say I've noticed any effect in my own body from the turmeric.
Another thing I take is MSM. The horses and dogs also get MSM. I believe MSM gives the body building material to make minor repairs to cartilage. My knee twinges went away after taking it for a while. However MSM is no miracle cure, my one horse with serious knee arthritis needs Previcoxx for comfort. BTW I read somewhere that one needs like 7-9 mg daily of MSM so most human pill forms won't give you enough to do any good. I dissolve 3/4 teaspoon of loose MSM in tea twice a day to get my dosage. It tastes horrible if mixed in something cold and not dissolved.

But that's like the #1 sign you're a douchebag. I'll just stay away from the thread until I switch to a regimen that includes weight-loss and not just building muscle mass, then I can note my poundage, which is less douchy than touting how much you can lift, bro.

All y'all taking magnesium want to make sure that you're balancing it with calcium, and taking it in a form your body will actually absorb. There are concotions you can buy to facilitate this, and they're mostly based around our old pal--that's right: vinegar.
However, you can also buy or make bone broth. I have some sort of cal/mag deficiency that makes it very easy for me to induce calf cramps, and I've found either cal/mag or bone broth will make it go away.
Bone broth can be eaten (per Fung) without breaking fast, and food is probably better than not-food, where possible.

>>>So for my 'health monitoring,' does that mean noting my lifts each week?
But that's like the #1 sign you're a douchebag. I'll just stay away from the thread until I switch to a regimen that includes weight-loss and not just building muscle mass, then I can note my poundage, which is less douchy than touting how much you can lift, bro.
...
no dude, post that. Any gains. It's not just weight loss, it's whatever goals you've set for yourself.

Sixkiller, I ordered the magnesium - it was pretty cheap, and none of my
supplements had the good kind (they were all oxide, like you said).
Is
there anything I should actually notice different from using it, or
it's just helping my body not crumble apart in the long term?

Depending on the intensity of your workouts, I think you'll notice an improvement in your recovery time. After about 10 days, I noticed I wasn't so darn sore for days after a workout as before. And I'm lifting as heavy as ever. Hell, I'm lifting better.

Hey, y'all. I was too bummed about the state of my body last night to even post. But I read and felt encouraged just by lurking.
This morning, I looked different in the mirror and the scale agreed. 5 pound down, lots and lots to go.
Too much has been getting in the way of exercise--not excuses, real actual problems--but I have been more active lately.

One more thing Ace...
Even though your shoulders are sore, you can still pound your triceps. You can isolate them and work them out hard without recruiting the shoulders. And you can't lock out a bench press without triceps, so blast away.

Ehh, I prefer using lettuce wrap for my bunless burger. You can actually still hold it like a regular burger. The trick to making the big lettuce cups to hold the burger is: Take the head of lettuce and bang the stem of the lettuce against the edge of your sink 3-4 times. The stem will pull right out. Then, turn the lettuce over and run cold water from the tap down into the hold left by the stem. The water will go down inside of the lettuce and the weight of the water will separate the layers of the lettuce for you. This also cleans out all the dirt and grit too. Then, you'll have nice big, clean lettuce cups you can use to put burger patties, cold cuts, or to make Thai lettuce wraps with.

Something I have found interesting is how people UNDERestimate how much they need to lose. I get everyone can be as big or as small as they want. However, when people say they need to lose a few pounds it really is more like 25.
And really big people might think they need to lose 30-40 when really, it's 60-70 or more.
Just an observation.
My friend who looked great lost 35 pounds. Found his abs and looks lean and defined. Not emaciated, not skinny. Lean and muscular. Kind of like those pictures of guys around WWII with their shirts off.
The pre sugar, soda, garbage diet.

If you're taking cinnamon supplements you want to look for "Cinnulin" which is the active component that - taken at the right dose - stabilizes blood sugar. I'm on crutches right now and housebound so the only exercise I'm doing is/are quad sets. Before my first knee reconstruction many years ago the doc asked me "Do you wan't to be able to walk when you're forty?". Now I need to lose weight to take the stress off my effed up knees. I'm too young for a replacement.

For the record, I'm on the anti-government diet. The top three (by far) subsidized foods are verboten. That means no corn, soy or wheat. Virtually knocks out every processed food product on the shelf, so there's that. Funny thing is, I keep hearing the same thing from dog food commercials, but all those dogs look healthier than I, so there's that, too.
Second, I invert Michelle's MyPlate. Bad is good, good is bad. Enjoying 3000 cals per day, 60% fat. And most of the fat is of the horrifically tasty saturated variety. 5'9"/160lbs. My body fat scale is busted, but mirror says no worries. Age 49 and otherwise shitty health due to bad genetics and good fun.

I don't know about cinnamon as part of an exercise regimen, but it is supposed to help diabetics control their glucose levels. I used to mix a teaspoon of it in with a container of low-fat, low-carb yoghurt. The better the grade of cinnamon, the more powerful the effect.

Bluebell,
I got mine at Amazon for around $30/90 day supply. It's by Lean Nutraceuticals. 1/x2 day= 1000mg Turmeric and 180 mg Curcumin. My doctor was selling some from his office for $35/20 day supply. It started working for me after about a month. Not a cure but I have felt a noticeable difference for the good.

@ 435 Bluebell I take 3 tumeric tablets daily (1 after each meal). I have been using 'Youtheory" Tumeric which contains 450 mg of Tumeric extract (which is 95% curcuminoids) epr 3 tablets. It also has 15 mgs of black pepper extract and 300 mg of olive leaf extract per 3 tablets.
For any of you with joint problems or swelling it seems to work. I have knee problems (debris in there and they told me at the hospital in China I should have surgery which I declined). I also have sciatica from the same accident.
The tumeric has really helped with swelling.
I also have been taking Glucosamine-Chrodroitin-MSM supplement (2-3 a day). I have been drinking more vitamin D milk with it because it works better with that.
That coupled with a couple of hours of physical therapy every day has me up and running around again.
They did not give me any physical therapy in China. I downloaded it off the inter tubes and it has been working wonders. I have 5 pages (30 exercises) for the knees and 2 pages (6 exercises) for the sciatica. You have to do them every day or at least 3-4 days a week minimum. I do it daily and have been doing it for about a month.
It's a lot easier to lose weight when you can actually walk again.

I gained weight. It took a long long long time. But now it's gained and it has to come off. All my really nice clothes are 0's and 2's. I have sufficiently decent 4-6 things. A couple of ten-year old 8s (and up), supplemented recently by a visit to the "comfortable loose clothing for women of a certain age" desperation store.
We'll see how the cusp of crone-hood affects my diet success. I had better get it all off now or it will be too late.
Worrisome: I have had some accumulation of fat in the tummy and that never happened before. I hope it comes off.

oops. I said 7-9 mgs of MSM. That should be 7-9 grams, 7000 to 9000 milligrams. But the 1.5 tsp a day is correct. I just bought bulk turmeric spice and put it in size 0 capsules and I take 2. Less arthritic dog gets 1/day, dog with back arthritis gets 2/day and both dogs are about 90 lbs. But then I'm not seeing super results for myself, I only noticed a definite improvement in the dogs. I however take Alleve or ibuprofen for aches and pains. If I couldn't take that I would buy the pills that have the active compound in turmeric if I didn't get noticeable relief with no more than 3-4 capsules of the plain spice.

At age 64, I'm fortunate in having very good health - I'm seldom sick, and I take no meds at all, apart from the occasional ibuprofen. One thing I do take, though, is a daily probiotic capsule. I find that my nether regions are much happier with it; in particular, I'm much less given to flatulence.
