    Athletes Lose Fat But Not Muscle by Intermittent Fasting

    Is that that much of a sacrifice? To delay breakfast until 11 and finish dinner by 7?

    Coronary Calcium Scan

    Russert also likely had undiagnosed thyroid issues, which can increase likelihood of heart attack. He had several of the diagnostic criteria including dying outer eyebrows, edematous jowls and (mildly, in his case) bulging eyes. Historical photo of a more extreme case, before and after...

    Which Diets are Healthy? Cutting Thru the Hype.

    That article could not be more full of shit. Every recommendation in that article is wrong, but seed oils are just about the worst things you can put in your body: high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2017/02/musing-about-linoleic-acid.html

    Article: New Testosterone Replacement Analyzer App

    One last idea: The program seems to offer no reminders or daily reminders. But I think that people that are having good results with TRT will tire of the daily reminders eventually and turn them off, blinding the app to their continued TRT satisfaction. Yet it would be important to keep those...

    Article: New Testosterone Replacement Analyzer App

    I just now saw this app and installed it. I had no idea it existed. It looks awesome. A few suggestions: 1) I kind of think you guys might be missing one of the biggest opportunities of an app like this: the ability to show the improvement of TRT itself, compared to life before TRT. Right now...

    Life Extension Update on testosterone therapy

    In most drug trials, this would be where they stopped the study to put everyone on testosterone, because not to do that would be completely unethical. But we're talking about TRT, and TRT ain't cool -- so they shrug and go back to writing scripts for Lipitor.

    30 days meat-only before & after

    I've done meat & eggs & water (Vince Gironda) in the past for two months straight and had no problem with constipation. Stool volume & frequency does decrease significantly, however, since you are digesting a much larger proportion of what you eat.

    30 days meat-only before & after

    That's not me, although I am planning testing a meat (actually, animal and seafood flesh) and water-only diet. Re supplementation, it tends to start endless raging arguments, so I won't say anything other than some people are skeptical that there are many nutrients in fruits & vegetables that...

    Can't sleep

    Some people find relief with very low dose quetiapine (as little as 6mg) 90 minutes before bedtime. It's available by prescription, or at All Day Chemist. Quetiapine for Insomnia - User Reviews - Drugs.com

    Left Ventricle Hypertrophy and Nandrolone ( Decadurabolin )

    Thanks for the losartan info. I'm already on that as well, but it's nice to know that it also helps. FWIW, I haven't had an issue with drive or sensitivity on either the carvedilol, or the metoprolol before.

    Left Ventricle Hypertrophy and Nandrolone ( Decadurabolin )

    The athletic version is not necessarily harmless. It depends on how over-size your ventricle actually is, not whether the cause was steroids or uncontrolled hypertension. The reason is basic physics -- the extra muscle actually reduces ejection fraction, because the heart is a round muscle...

    Respectfully, that's publicity copy. (And if I ever again see the phrase "steel cut" used as if blade metal magically bestows health juju, I'll hurl.) Come on. You are a diabetic with a meter and a box of oatmeal. Why not find out for sure? edit: Post on oatmeal's effect on blood glucose...

    Introduction + Labs

    I'd recommend getting a copy of Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. I know that title sounds a little spammy, but Bernstein is actually the guy who invented home blood glucose testing. He is still practicing and going strong in his mid-80s, despite being a Type 1 diabetic who was told he'd be...

    Introduction + Labs

    Did your doctor instruct you to stop the metformin? Or did you do that on your own? You mention you've cut out eggs and saturated fat. Are you now eating high-carb? What are your go-to meals? Are you eating sugar?
