Got Built?

I wish I could set up a PSMF or a ketosis program that involved distilled liquor or even better.........BEER :blush:

 

[Built]

So B you did 12 straight days of basically ketosis? What was your carb level during your pmsf? I've cut 10 lbs over the past 5 weeks. I would do pmsf during the week and carb-up on fri and sat or sat and sun. I might hit another week or two of this.

When, in January? Yes.

200g protein
45g fat (including 10g from fish oil)
50g carb, of which 17g was fibre
1400 calories.

I'm lucky in that I really don't like the taste of alcohol. Not fond of the effect either. It's just not my drug.

No but I think I've heard you really......no, really like donuts

This might sound like a stupid question...... What's ketosis?
I've heard of it but forgot what it was.

No thats me! I can do 12 Krispi Kremes easily.
-----------------

Ketosis basically means you are using more fat as a primary energy source due to lack of available glucose. Ketones are created after breaking fats down, and your body uses them instead of glucose. Basically...to sum up....

Anyone correct me on this. I'm not the guru. Built could probably make it sound way more...official!

 

[sara]

Built, question for you.. Do you count the carbs coming from fibrious veggies? especially Spianch, Romaine, Green Beans?

 

[Built]

Merkaba's got it.

Sara, I just fitday everything and forget it.

Cool! because fit day subtracts the fiber off the carbs.. and only counts the non fiber carbs

 

[Built]

I don't really pay much attention to this part.

Damit...........you said the B word! Now I'm craving one!

Just curious how UD 2.0 is treating you since you said you don't function well on low fat diets and yet UD 2.0 restricts dietary fat pretty heavily?

 

[Built]

I go higher fat than most do. This slows down my losses, but I can't do it any other way.

I can manage low fat for a few days though, so I try to keep it fairly low for the low carb and carbup days. I'm still fiddling with where to put the fats though. As long as I have one high-fat day a week I can ride it out. Maybe the first low-carb day...

Now TODAY won't be a struggle - mmmmm Easter eggs....

great read, thanks for this article!

Built - so sorry to hear about the herniated disc..! I know how much injuries suck. Nearly a year after re-injuring my left RC, I'm finally able to hang clean and press 80 lbs with no pain.

While the recovery is great, I'm being really REALLY careful with it and not overworking my upper-body these days.

 

[Built]

Hey, thanks. I'm gradually noticing it settling down, taking it one day at a time, but yeah, it sucks. LOL. I HATE injuries, I invariably take them as personal insults.

Thanks for the note.

 

[sara]

Hey Built! How you feeling? I am sorry to hear about your injury! .. I haven't been on here for months now.. things are good to go now.. But I sticked to my plan and met my 1'st goal..

 

[Built]

Sara - I'm getting close to better enough to start logging workouts again, thanks for dropping by to say hi - and I am SO stoked to hear of your goal being hit! I'll go see what you've posted!

 

[JerseyDevil]

Hi Built,

This it news to me also about a herniated disk. Godspeed girl

 

[Built]

I shall have to update folks. The long version will come soon - the short version is an x-ray, a ct-scan, an MRI, a bone scan, several thousand dollars' worth of physio and some really unpleasant drugs. I have a herniated disc and osteoarthritis in my c-spine. The disc is pressing on a nerve in my left arm and lat, and for a little while I lost fine motor control of my right hand.

I'm back though.

How much soft tissue work does your physio do directly for your lats. Especially grasping the lateral/free border and rolling and manipulating the tissue for trigger points and ischemia?

[Built]

I haven't gone in for physio in about three weeks, but she hasn't. I'll ask her about this next time I go in.

Sara - I'm getting close to better enough to start logging workouts again...!

close enough to ahem...get an RDL video????

 

[P-funk]

I haven't gone in for physio in about three weeks, but she hasn't. I'll ask her about this next time I go in.

Because the lats perform both internal rotation and extension of the shoulder, it puts them in a prime position to place tension on the brachial plexus when there are trigger points (latent or active) or high amounts of tissue tension and ischemic build up. Just something else to check.
