    Keto Weight Loss Plateau

    Lots to unpack there. The reason you don't feel as hungry on a ketogenic diet is protein is extremely satiating and fat slows absorption out of the stomach. When you limit carbohydrates and starve your body of glucose the liver starts to produce ketones. The process involves no having enough...

    John Bolton

    I would vote for him on one condition - he gives Pelosi the People's Elbow on the floor of Congress.

    John Bolton

    Biden is senile and crazy. The thing with touching kids is insane and makes you wonder how he is not dead. I keep hoping there is a third party non crazy candidate that emerges but it wont happen. Trump is concerned with legacy and the value of his name. I see that as being important to him and...

    John Bolton

    It is easy to sit here and cast stones at the opposition. But It makes sense in this current political climate to listen to both sides and see if the truth is in there to some degree. I think if you just dismiss everything that doesn't fit within your narrative and just reside in your echo...

    John Bolton

    More like a slow train coming for a car stuck on the tracks.

    John Bolton

    Bolton has always been a war monger battling for preemptive military strikes on North Korea and Iran and wanting to bring the fight to Russia for harboring Edward Snowden. But I still want to read his book. Here is exert that got leaked yesterday, "President Donald Trump asked Chinese...

    Ruptured Achilles tendon this afternoon, what's next...

    The CBD stuff is interesting. I have friends (and my wife) that swear by it for pain and swelling. My wife blew out her ankle recently and put CBD rub/cream on it while taking CBD gummies from NeuroXPF and the healing was pretty dramatic. https://neuroxpf.com/ Worth a shot. I would recommend...

    Ruptured Achilles tendon this afternoon, what's next...

    I had a mid-patellar rupture and it took about a full year for a full recovery. And I came back stronger that any doctor expected. The one thing I do know about achilles ruptures is you have to let the tendon heal before you start stretching it. I had a friend that was pretty aggressive on his...

    Any other members do any of the olympic lifts?

    Those are kilos. I wouldn't be super excited about a 130 pound snatch. And a 500 pound front squat was pretty solid. Near Olympic level? Sadly, no.

    Any other members do any of the olympic lifts?

    I used to Olympic lift a lot for my training. My coach in college introduced to it. Snatched 130 and C&J 172.5 with a 180 PC and 230 FS. The 3 people doing it better than anyone right now are - Dave Spitz @ Cal Strength, Greg Everett @ Catalyst and Travis Mash @ Mash Elite Performance. Those...

    How do your macros breakdown as a percentage of you calories?

    I like Stan and I like his diet. Focusing on micronutrients instead of macronutrients is pretty smart as most of the world is stuck on macros alone. The blood testing component is what opens the world of micronutrient deficiencies to the user. How can you wrong with rice and ground beef.
