We went to the judges table and they said paella is an acceptable cheat.
how did the paella dinner go, Danno?
I didn't eat it. Brought some apps to share and ate some of those, ate some cheese, and some grilled eggplant they made, and ate a bratwurst that we brought. Two vodka/LaCroixs helped.
Shoot me.Quote:

Result is increased storage of dietary fat as body fat. The insulin response from CHO also inhibits hormone-sensitive lipase, which impairs your ability to metabolize stored body fat.Quote:

This is why fried shitcarbs+sugar is so bad. You down a cheeseburger, fries and a big soda, then sit down to watch TV. You've consumed a ton of refined carbs and fat together, so your body has no choice but to ramp up glucose metabolism and shunt the fat into body fat. You are not moving, so a large insulin response is required to clear all the glucose from your bloodstream. This would be bad enough if the soda was all glucose, but it's half fructose which reduces your insulin sensitivity and requires your body to pump out even more insulin to clear the glucose. The extra insulin crashes your blood sugar not long after the meal, and further inhibits HSL. Now, your blood sugar is low and you cannot access body fat for energy, so you feel tired, hungry and shitty. You grab a bag of potato chips and a coke or a frappucino and the cycle repeats.
I'm no expert, I'm just fumbling through it. But in what I have learned, that's too much carbs and too much protein, and not enough fat. Getting fat is hard, that's why people drink bulletproof coffee and make "fat bombs".Quote:

As another test, did a similar 20 miles today, but planned ahead better, at lots of cheese and salami and an avocado with lots of salt. Also chugged some Nuun. No cramps, lots of energy the whole time, still not even hungry.
Drink your fucking Brondo bitches!
Slow burn > fast burn.
Here's a backstory for anyone like me not familiar with bulletproof coffee.
I think I'll stick to my regular coffee and a few chocolate bites.

I mix MCT oil and this Laird creamer. It's not a bad mix. I wonder if I could throw a smear of ghee in there with MCT and get what he is doing. Might try some of that aniracetam.
Bulletproof coffee with pepper and turmeric. And Ceylon cinnamon. That’s the ultimate.
Not for flavor I mean.

And to be clear I’ve never tried this but I am curious about the benefits of turmeric. But I’ve read you need to take it with black pepper and a fat.Quote:

And giving a 5 year old espresso? Wack job. But hey, he has 6 mil in the bank, so I guess he'll be good.

At my peak swimming days I was less than 5%. Last summer I had no alcohol or junk food between July the 4th and Labor Day. I lost 20lbs like it was nothing. 230 to 210, 6’4”. My Keotones were elevated, but as a diabetic you have to be really, really careful you do not go into ketoacidosis.
I pretty much realized that beer alone adds 10lbs. Eating out another 10.
I enjoyed my spring and put 10lbs back on in a flash.

But I generally choose to just take it in tablets or get this stuff and blend it in my shakes and it dilutes the flavor a bit:

Turmeric in cooking is fine, but generally other stuff is kind of a different mindset...more aiming for sweeter if anything.
Sounds like the benefits come from the root not the spice?

Anybody else get the Hershey squirts from MCT oil? Got no problems w/ coconut oil, but MCT oil + coffee turns on a hose coming from my b-hole.

No problems here. Think you are supposed to start slow and get used to it. I didn't though but haven't had issues. Is it a quality product?
my coworker had that issue and she reduced the oil at the start and then gradually increased and was good- i think start super slow on the MCT oil and build up
Maybe I should actually measure how much Is going into the coffee.

I did this for once and found that I was overdosing. That shit is expensive so it makes sense to measure. I'm assuming you can only absorb so much at once.Quote:

Seems a little expensive at 72 cents per serving, but worthwhile? I'm thinking of trying the bulletproof coffee thing with minimal hassle.
Well, it is "Popular with Crossfitters, Paleo & Ketogenic dieters, and Pro Gamers" so must be worth it. Pro Gamers? WTF?Quote:

I'll have to see if I can get grass fed ghee/butter and MCT locally.

Sandy and Murray Costcos carry Kerrygold grassfed butter, so good chance the Ogden one does too. For MCT oil, Whole Foods, Good Earth, Shirlyns or other hippie food stores probably carry it. If you're going to go to the cost and trouble of buying MCT oil, make sure you get one that is all C8-C10 fatty acids. Otherwise you might as well just use coconut oil.Quote:

Fragmentation reactions result in low-molecular-weight compounds that may be volatile and may contribute to flavor. Polymerization reactions lead to larger-molecular-weight compounds that contribute to the dark-brown color.

Any of you keto folks get blood work done? Cholesterol checked? Metals, macro/micro nutrients?
Just curious, my kids was on a whole whack of supplements due some pretty insane bloodwork.
