cold food is easier. i eat a lot of things at fridge temperature now and i cannot explain why that helps

alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five

small portions six times a day is how i get to 130 grams on a bad week

a shake is food

resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly

eat more please

ok so nobody here is your dietitian. we can tell you what we eat and what happened afterwards

smaller containers

dexa if you can

i lost 9 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through, i have it written down somewhere

coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now, ymmv
