What you're doing is fine. You are probably in ketosis in the morning, but just aren't excreting ketones in your urine. You can get a glucometer that measures ketones in the blood and you'd know for sure. the other possibility is that your liver is dumping its glycogen after your initial 60...

Raising test levels will do nothing to burn estrogenic fat. Only lowering estrogen will do that. Raising test levels doesn't lower estrogen levels. In fact, the opposite is true. Your body regulates the ratio of test to estrogen through a process called aromatization. So raising test levels...

Got it.. finally I got 300 yesterday on flat bench without any help from my spotter. It wasn't pretty, but I got it.. My left still got a little ahead of my right and I stalled about 4 inches up, but I was able to get back inline, and get the rep.. I went for a second one, but it wasn't even...

It hurts to say it. But I agree with Diamond.. :) If you eat above your maint. calories, you will gain weight. Now if you're working out hard and you're in ketosis, it might be muscle, but you won't burn your fat stores if you're above maint. calories. Some say that your maint. calories go...

The fat seems awfully low You fat calories are below 10%. I also calculate your calories to be about 1850 with 255/167/17. You need that higher if you are working out regularly. Your protein and carbs look good, but add in some fats. Maybe add some flax to your shakes, or eat a tbls of...

That's a lot of questions. I'll try to go through them one at a time and see if I can help. 1) Alternative to suppliments for what? Do you mean protein supps? If you mean creatine then red meat is the best natural source I know of. You should take a multivit. Other than that, the...

You're still pretty new, so I wouldn't think a ketogenic diet would be called for unless you just want to do that. A good balanced diet (40/30/30 is good) with your calories around 2000 a day is probably good. Make sure you are doing cardio at least 4 days a week, and lift heavy. As long as...

Like gymtime said, it's not true. It's been going around a while, but it's just another piece of netlore that's being passed around and scaring people. Check this site out.. debunking site

I don't think anyone downplays carbs when bulking. When you are bulking, especially if you are doing a lot of cardio, you have to keep your carbs way up so you stay at a calorie surpluss at all times. I agree with what the others said on the protein. 2Xbw is plenty even bulking.. At 139lbs...

I go to the gym to workout and not meet people. That's just my personal preference. People do come up and ask questions occasionally, and I try to help, but I don't approach people at the gym ever. I'm not there to make friends or socialize, just workout.

Everyone's different, and you can work your way up to it. I take 50g with my shakes and don't have any problems. I've also eaten 3 large chicken breasts at one meal without any problems. I think when you first start out you might want to just take 25-30g, and slowly work your way up.

Those percentages are actually ok.. Some people respond well to a 50/30/20 diet, so 45/30/25 is certainly not out of line. You might add some peanut butter in there (very little) just to get the fats up and make sure you're getting the fats you need. Any kind of nuts would be ok. The only...

Thanks, Evilution.. Good info.

Celery's pretty good for what you're saying. It has almost no calories, and it's a good fiber source.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out, Mann. Thanks to everyone else that replied as well. You better believe, I'll let you know when I hit 300. It's something I've wanted for 2 years now. I can actually see it now...
