    "Small edge".

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15248788/

    For being a guy called IAmTheCasino you apparently don't know what a small edge is. a 20% strength gain and an increase of 2-5kg of lean mass is a massive edge. That's why your dick skin looking model appears like a grotesque caricature of a human.

    Unlike your dumb ass I look at pubmed and examine.com before I open my mouth. But yeah, I'm imbecile. Rich coming from the guy who believes a professional bodybuilder that juices knows dick about the "thermodynamics" of the body.

  2. "I look to pubmed" you area fuckin tool. He has a masters in Kinesiology. He did 40+ BB shows natural. You know fuckall and probably cant read a study properly. O but its on pubmed so its legit. Im sure it is, just dumbasses like you that misinterpret the data on a regular basis.

    Just published on Pubmed, more dick in your mouth gets you better at trading. Prolly running to your local pub as we speak.

  3. Just got back from a twelve mile walk. Starting out I had some lower back pain. I need to watch my posture when trading or driving. At least it fairly quickly went into the background.

    Twenty minutes into my walk, I felt warm, suggesting perhaps my body was beginning to use free fatty acids in my blood for energy.

    Fourty five minutes in, I felt like running. The power of endorphines. I forgot to hydrate before leaving but found a gas station after an hour fourty five minutes.

    My heel started bothering me after little over two hours so I tightened by shoes. I should have done this before I started. Three hours in, my heel started to bother me more and felt a bit squishy, like a large blister forming at the bottom. I took a five minute break and retightened my sneakers. That helped and my walking pace picked up again.

    After a little more than four hours I arrived home and noted I had a crust of salt on my forehead.

    I’m feeling slightly hungry, but will wait until tomorrow before eating. I don’t have fresh vegetables in the refrigerator right now.

    Based on advice received by El OchoCinco and gaussian, I will be less aggressive with my calorie restriction. I will shoot for an average deficit of 250 calories per day to start. I will also go over my bodybuilding book, Natural Bodybuilding by Tyler English that suggests when cutting, varying one’s calorie intake where a deficit is achieved only on a certain number of days per week may be optimal. Tyler is huge advocate for meat eating for body building, but I’m going to focus on losing weight through a vegetarian diet and regular excercise.

    Thanks all for your comments so far.

    Calculate this based on your BMR. Don't take shots in the dark. If you've got the cash and insurance pay a nutritionist to advise you further. Depending on your age you may need extra supplements. As we get older our bodies are significantly less capable of repair.

    Several years ago when I started taking fitness seriously I used a book called Starting Strength. It's a little pedagogical but when combined with a trainer that matches your goals it's a good resource.

    Keep an eye on your bloodwork. One month intervals is probably too much. I get it done once a year. If you are taking in higher than normal protein you will want to monitor kidney function as well. You will find strength gains difficult without animal protein. It's not impossible, but you aren't going to beat lean steak, fish, and chicken. Though with the availability of alternative meats and avoiding overdoing soy protein you can probably swing it. When I started there wasn't such a thing.

    Good luck.

  5. Don't overdo the exercise as long as you are not yet well-trained. Getting an injury will put you (probably long) at the sideline. During which you can't do a thing and thus burn zero calories. Avoiding injury and being able to continue your physical exercise is much more efficient in the longer run (no pun intended).

  6. Just woke up. Not feeling hungry at all. I have a half dollar sized blister on my heel. My $17 Walmart sneakers aren’t very forgiving when worn too loose. I will invest in a better pair.

    My night vision and visual acuity saw a massive improvement from last night. Hard to quantify, but at least double as in 1 stop plus improvement for night vision and going from 20/25 to 20/15 visual acuity. This may be simply more time away from a computer screen than usual, but damn, the lights really came on tonight so I know I’m on the right path.

    Full panel blood tests are dirt cheap the last time I checked at one of the major testing companies such as Labcorp. You need a sponsoring physician, but if you don’t have one they can set you up. As a truck driver, I am required to have biennial health exams. I have piggy backed a personal blood test off said medical exam.

    Good point on avoiding injuries. This is why I’m starting with walking and will start to do weight training starting with a high number of repetitions per set.

    NO! This is not correct and is based on decades of improper and unverified studies. It is a paradigm you have to break if you ever want to get healthy and lose weight with any permanency. Happy to discuss in private messages OR in another thread but I won't pollute the journal with further commentary.

    Can you post your weight and height (so we can get to BMI - or post that if you have it). Also, please post your most recent cholesterol panel, along with when the sample was taken. This is the proper way to document this.

    You can PM me this if you don't want it in public. But without this data, this exercise (no pun intended) is not a very good test.

    Quest Diagnostics allows you to purchase a cholesterol panel for $59.00. Results in 3 days. No doc's note needed. I recommend you add the Vitamin D test to it.

    Best shoes for walking. Not cheap. Awesome support. I use these to run a few miles each day and they last. I put a support in them to help.

  10. Might I suggest you replace some of that walking time with shadow boxing. You will burn far more calories in a shorter period of time, more muscle will be used and it's great for improving balance and coordination. There are many videos to get started. Nate Bower is a good one to learn from. At some point you should consider some resistance training with weights, though that is not necessarily simply for weight loss.
    Your diet sounds a bit unsustainable but that's your choice. Eliminating fast food and sugars will be very helpful. Stay consistent and you're all good.
    I walk 4 miles or so per day, shadow box 3 times per week for 30 mintues and weight training 3 time per week. Works for me.
