Hey ray how long does it take to get into keto? And do you suggest buying ketostix? Im confident that i wont go over carb limit ill have maybe 10 carbs at most per day


Generally anywhere from 2-10 days to go into full deep ketosis. That's why I recommend taking 14 days straight of 0-10g carbs per day (along with proper amounts of fat and protein) in order to set yourself into keto properly.

Yes, definitely get keto sticks...they are very helpful in seeing when you get into keto, and also if you are sensitive to things like citric acid.

Alright thank you very much sir. A while ago you suggested 20 minute hiit sessions; do you still suggest that, or more?


Depends. 20-40 minutes is a safe area. Anywhere in there and you should be fine.

This kind of pain is fairly normal. How bad is the pain? Does it hurt to the touch? Or only when you bend or use the lower back?

As of right now, just rest the lower back and do some light stretches. Also hanging from a chinup bar will help stretch out the lower back and alleviate some of the pain.

Going long periods of time without ejaculation does NOT increase testosterone...but can actually decrease it.

Frequent ejaculation (greater than 1x per day 6-7 days a week) can lower testosterone levels.

Infrequent or Moderate ejaculation (1x per day 4-5 days per week maximum) actually increases testosterone levels, particularly in the 30 minutes after ejaculation.


Basically let your body be your guide on this one. Also don't overdo ANYTHING - it will always have deleterious effects.

It will heal on its own - it just takes time and effort on your part.

You must rest the area but keep it mobile and lightly stretched. Furthermore you will have to ice the area frequently - 20 mins on 40 mins off about 4 times a day.


edit: I also forgot, anti-inflammatory meds as necessary (ibuprofen) - but don't overdo it!

If you see a doctor they can prescribe a cortisone injection if it's absolutely necessary. Phys-therapy is good, but not a full solution to the healing process.



You make me feel better but i left out a few details. the injury is basically 3 months old. I wasted the first month or so just doing nothing, the doctor told me that I probably strained my rotator cuff muscles, and just do ice and antiinflammatory drugs which I did. It seemed that it was healing super slow, it hurt whenever I rolled around in my sleep, so finally I decided to go to physical therapy instead. turns out my muscles got extremely tight and weak (I lost around 5-10 lbs). The physical therapy helped my muscles get back in shape and kept everything loose and normal. However I still feel sharp pain while doing certain movements such as reaching my arm in a weird position. The doctor suspects that I may need an MRI, and I was afraid that tendons do not usually heal on their own.

Are you sure that tendons can heal by themselves? Have you had any experience with a tendon injury? thanks :)

So if we've gone greater than 2x+ a day for like 2-3 days out of the week if it lowers your testosterone levels how do we get them back up?

stop fapping?
