Bulletproof Coffee

Ent, I've tried bulletproof coffee, but not in connection with weight loss. It was OK as a curiosity, but didn't really float my boat. I'd probably opt to have the butter on something else and enjoy the coffee on its own.

20 pounds in two weeks is pretty ambitious. If you're training during that time and are on a severely carb restricted diet, you'll probably be dragging ass much of the time. Once you start eating carbs again, you'll be able to support workouts better and will probably find that the exercise you got during the carb restricted period did benefit you, even though it may not have felt that way at the time.

I'm on a juice fast right now, to quickly unwind some weight I've let creep up over time. At another time I lost 40 pounds in five weeks this way. It stayed off for a long time, but I did eventually redevelop some bad habits.
 
I have been trying to cut way back on my carbs and sugar, kind of a 1/2 ass attempt at getting my body into ketosis. It's really, really hard to do.
 
is it possible that the term 'ketosis' is actually what 'normal' is supposed to be, and the fact that our world culture is so stuck on carbs, that not having them is now considered abnormal?

I wonder if this whole labeling someone who cuts down on carbs as having a name-able condition, smacks of something the Sugar industry would try to promote.

But Jordan, if someone on an MV comes up on you and puts a serious rub on you and maybe steps on your shifter, or does a kdiney punch on you, you'll know who it is.

ha yeah, totally agree the food pyramid is a joke.
 
20 pounds in two weeks is impossible to dangerous unless you're talking lipo.

If you starved yourself on nothing but water and vitamins, you would have to burn 5,000 calories per day. If you were big enough (say, 6' 200# 30yo) to have a BMR of 2,000 calories, you would have to run for 3 hours and about 20 miles every day to burn the remaining 3,000 calories. EVERY DAY. WITH NO FOOD. FOR 14 DAYS.

You would die.

Ive cut 15 lbs in two weeks for martial arts comps and been just fine. Your exaggerating.


Cutting weight is about more than intake, it's about kind of intake, when you intake it, and how.


Entropic hit me up I'll give you some pointers to maintain abilities while losing weight (say for a same day weigh in)
