My diet

[TeenAscender]

Yes , I view PEDs in an unfavorable light so not planning on using them

At 82kg at 6’3 do you feel big or do you think that PEDs are necessary to achieve the size you want

L-Carnitine
30 mins before exercise I intake 1 000 mg from tablet. Helps with exercise performance and aids fat burning.

Oral bioavailability of L-Carnitine is quite low (14-18%), so a dose of 1,000mg is likely lower than the optimal dose for your desired effects. Doses equivalent to the injection of 500mg are considered to be efficacious.

I am recommending that you eat a clove of raw garlic every day as this aids in reducing TMAO levels (to prevent cardiotoxicity and cancer) (oral L-Carnitine increases TMAO production in the gut).

Very nice. You look kinda like me just a couple of % leaner. I've been eating similarly for about 5 years with great success. Look into "lean mass hyper responders" the research is quite compelling; the most metabolically fit people who eat low carb animal based diets often exhibit the same lipid biomarkers and extremely good metabolic health (very high insulin sensitivity, low inflammation etc). I would bet that you fall into the category. It's characterised by extremely high HDL, extreme low Trigs, extreme high LDL. This is the optimal profile for health. Most normies have poor HDL:Trig ratios and too low total cholesterol. Being fat-adapted means the body becomes very efficient at using lipid transports (HDL/LDL) for energy.

I thought high LDL is bad?

I don’t think they are necessary at all, they are overkill and come with downsides

I would only consider using them if my career depended on it (like being an actor), otherwise I don’t see the point

 

[Acne Victim]

@Prettyboy

As my name suggests, I am someone that has suffered a lot from severe acne. I've read and researched a lot on the topic. Here are some recent quotes I got from a book on the topic in case you are curious to read:

Spoiler: Acne and diet

Dairy:

"As for the possible association between the dietary dairy intake and acne, there was an interesting study that investigated more than 47,000 women [41]. The authors found signifcant association between acne and milk, sherbet, cheese, trans-unsaturated fat, and vitamin D supplement.... Especially skim milk had strong association with acne which made fat content of milk unlikely to cause acne. [41]. In addition to estrogen and progesterone, milk contains androgen and its precursors which are involved in the process of comedogenesis... Clinical relationship between acne and dairy products was confrmed again in a large case-control study."

Omega-3:

Omega-3 fatty acid andgamma-linolenic acid decreased infammatory and non-infammatory acne lesions signifcantly. Although the exact mechanism is yet to be studied more, omega-3-fatty acid was known to have anti-infammatory effect, reduce sebum production, and decrease IGF-1 while increasing IGFBP-3."

Conclusion:

"Roasted pork and fried chicken consumption was more signifcantly associated with the aggravation of acne. Although these kinds of foods have no or very low carbohydrate, they have higher fat content so that increased consumption of such food can lead to acne aggravation... Conclusively, high glycemic load diet, dairy food intake, high fat diet, irregular dietary patterns were found to aggravate acne"

"In conclusion, the relationship between acne and diet cannot be overemphasized in view of accumulating scientifc evidences. High glycemic load diet should be avoided. The ingestion of high amount of fat, leucine, milk, and dairy products may aggravate acne. Because we cannot test all foods, it would be appropriate to advise patients to avoid foods that they believe would worsen acne."

At this moment, I still suffer from a rare occasional pimple, but it has reduced by nearly 100% compared to what i used to get. One of the main changes was accutane but, besides that, I started to reduce my dairy intake, increase my vegetables + low glycemic load diet.

Do you think I'm missing out on a lot by not consuming dairy and IGF-1 in high amounts? Having to resource to plant-based sources is kinda fucked tbh.

 

[Acne Victim]

And how the fuck do you have so much money for this diet lol.

 

[Acne Victim]

Part of the point of not eating processed foods and to eat whole foods is to avoid chemicals and shit, so wouldn't taking a lot of supplements and pills be bad?

I would like to see a study guide from you. I too like to do the same shit everyday and not have to think too much about my routine, so I was wondering how you manage other parts of you life besides looksmaxxing.

It seems that you've figured it all out: diet, skincare, skin tone, gym, etc. I'm trying to become a complete expert in all of these topics because completely relying on others without you understanding what you're doing is something to avoid from my experience.

I’ve long had this theory based on my anecdotal experiments that the inflammation (which may manifest itself as acne on the skin) some people supposedly get from consuming dairy has to do with it being the skim, low fat versions.

Acne at it’s core is caused by hormonal imbalance / senstivity to their fluctuation and high glycemic load can certainly trigger that.

While carbohydrates and protein increase blood sugar level, fat counteracts as a brake for the glycemic load.

What this means is if you consume the natural (high fat) version of dairy products instead of the skimmed ones, their fat content prevents the lactose and protein from fluctuating your hormone levels.

I’ve came to this conclusion after seeing that the dairy products that gave me pimples before always were the ones that are exceptionally high in protein while low in fat (most notably whey protein concentrates and zero fat milk).

While products high in fat - such as cheeses - never gave me any problem.

do you eat fish everyday? too much mercury is bad

 

[Napoleon1800]

Should I be eating aged, French cheese?

 

[Deleted member 33579]

BTFO!!!!

 

[HTN_Mentalcel]

Come back please

 

[jsp]

It's been 1 week since I started adopting your diet but I hate cheese even more the one with raw milk the taste and smell are unbearable there won't be an alternative or pasteurized milk cheese would not be enough?

I. Overview

View attachment 1410542

II. The meals

1. Meal
After taking a shit and washing my face, the very first thing I do in my day is I eat a breakfast consisting of home grown free range eggs fried on Irish Kerrygold butter, with cheese and milk. I like a wide variety of cheese, the only thing which matters is that it has to be aged and non processed (so American cheese is off the table). I drink a mug of whole cow milk among with it, in some cases raw cow milk or goat milk. I wait around an hour after devouring this meal and afterwards I head to the gym or track to exercise.

2. Meal
After I got my daily exercise in, I drink milk again, this time usually in the form of kefir. I eat cheese again and to top it off I consume some kind of fatty fish. It can be salmon, sardines, hering, mackerel. etc. Icelandic mackerels are my favourite as they are extremely fatty with 5+ grams of omega3 in the portion, among with lots of vitamin D, which comes very handy during the dark European winter.

3-4. Meal
In each of the third and fourth meal of the day, I'll be eating 200 grams of red muscle meat. I most commonly stick with 80/20 ground beef as my college student budget is finite, but I'll happily eat lamb, deer, wild boar, horse etc. if I can get my hands on it. I avoid pork as I have digestive issues with it (seems to be a common problem people often have on reddit's r/zerocarb too). I don't use any additional fat to cook the meat as it's already pretty fatty.

5. Meal
In this meat I always consume some kind of organ meat but it greatly differs what exactly it is. Most commonly liver (beef, pork, turkey, chicken etc.), but I also eat hearts (pork, chicken), beef tripe and sometimes even pork kidneys. I always keep in mind the high vitamin A content of liver in order to not eat too much of it.

6. Meal
I usually eat my last meal of the day 1 hour before going to bed. It most commonly consists of some kind of white muscle meat (chicken, turkey, duck, lean fish, but I have already eaten rabbit too for example). I like to cook the meat on goose fat as it has a very pleasant taste to it. Sometimes instead of meat I eat something like quark or cottage cheese - the high caseine content is nice during sleep.

III. Supplements

Multivitamin
I consume a tablet with my first meal, it covers a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin C
I consume 3x1000mg tablets split between my meals for a total of 3g. I use it to aid collagen production.

Collagen
I consume 20 grams of hydrolized beef collagen peptides dissolved in milk during my first meal. I use it to get better hair and skin texture.

Beta carotene
I've been megadosing it lately and went as high as 100 000 IU / day, but generally I would take 25 000 IU, consumed before I go out to the sun. I use it to achieve warm skin undertone and to tan better.

Magnesium
The carnivore diet kinda lacks magnesium so among with mineral water, I supplement an additonal 2x250 mg of it. I consume the first tablet before exercise, the second at evening. Magnesium helps prevent musce cramps and helpsfalling sleep easier.

Caffeine
30 mins before exercise I consume 160 mg of caffeine in tablet form (I don't drink coffee). It acts as a stimulant, elevating concentration and speeding up metabolism.

Taurine
30 mins before exercise I intake 1 200 mg from tablet. Helps with exercise performance.

L-Carnitine
30 mins before exercise I intake 1 000 mg from tablet. Helps with exercise performance and aids fat burning.

Melatonin
I sometimes take 1-2 mg of melatonin before bed when I really need to get a good nights sleep.


IV. Water & salt

Water
I drink around 6 liters of water a day, equally split into 333 ml portions. I only drink one portion at a time and I do so frequently. I mostly drink tap water, sometimes mineral water - in the latter case always from glass, never plastic bottle.

Salt
I salt my eggs at breakfast to get a better pump during exercise, but other than that I don't salt anything (or use any spices on my meals for that matter).


IV. Macros & calories

Protein
I aim to consume around 40 grams of protein with each of my 6 meals which equals to around 240 grams of protein, all coming from animal sources (+ the collagen peptides).

Carbohydrate
The only carbohydrate I regurarly consume is coming from milk in the form of lactose. I sometimes eat honey or seasonal fruit with low antinutrient content (mostly berries), but even with those my daily carb intake is no more than 40-45g usually. I only consume simple carbs (sugars), I don't eat any starch or fiber for that matter.

Fat
I don't directly track my fat intake, rather try to adjust it to my activity level. The more active I am, the more fatty cuts of meat I'll consume on that day (probably around 200 g on average). With the fatty fish being consumed daily, I can guarantee that I'm not exceeding a 1:4 omega 3-6 ratio in the PUFA department. My meals contain a shitload of saturated fat and cholesterol, which are both crucial for achieving mogger testosterone levels.

Calories
I never count calories, only protein & carbs. I measure my weight daily after waking up and track it to see if my weights deviates over time. If it does, I adjust my fat intake accordingly. Overall if I had to estimate I'd say I'm consuming around 3 000 calories a day on average.


V. Results

How it started

Spoiler: 70 kg

How it's going

Spoiler: 87 kg

Last meal at 23? Good way to destroy your sleep
