i've heard that before on this forum. can you explain how that works? and i assume you can do something similar to your leg/arm/etc muscles too?

sup broski!

is there anything wrong with eating the "same" kinda food (like chicken tenderloins you put in your toaster over) basically everyday?

like 5-6 times a week? Or having the "pizza" 3-4 times a week?

This is not talking about losing weight, but getting the time "nutrients/protein" in your body. Your body doesnt care right? So long as you give it the adequate nutrition?

Down to 179 now and the electric scale said 11.4% bf after a week+ of nonsense haha

Is there anything wrong with pre-breakfast cardio?

Btw MAJOR PROPS for keeping this thread running for so long m8

Damnnnn almost 4 years!

I've been here way too long

over a year ago, my diet was pretty much just sweets. i would eat the reduced sugar stuff which contained sugar alcohols which was great for its laxative effect to avoid constipation. thats why i was wondering how sugar alcohols compare vs fibre for laxative effect.

i tried improving my diet according to your diet plan and started working out, but i had a hard time adjusting to the food/exercise and got unmotivated. within a few months i stopped. so now i'm trying to bake for my carbs (stevia, protein powder, nuts, whole wheat flour), then use eggs/almonds/protein shakes to compensate for the macros. i like the diet a lot better and i more or less hit the macros. unfortunately, flour doesn't seem to the best choice for fibre.

1 tbsp psyllium husk powder = 6.7g fibre, so i need 40g / 6.7g = 6 tbsp = 18 tsp of it. how do you consume that? I tried adding it to my shake but it has a very strong taste. right now i can't get past 2 tsp/shake. is there an easy way to put some in capsules, or should i compensate with extra water/stevia/unsweet cocao powder, or do i just have to learn to deal with it?

Correct, it works with all muscles. Wearing compression shirts (you can google a bench shirt for the real expensive ones), enables rapid compression and consolidation of the muscles which in turn can assist with the "springiness" of the repetition. When you hold all the muscles in a particular area together and make them work as one, you generate more power and fatigue less.

yes, that is correct, your body doesn't care so long as you have adequate nutrition. It takes a very long time for your body to start hating food. However, it's best to try and keep things switching up at least every 2 weeks or so. Make sure you are taking your multi every day.

Nothing wrong with pre-breakfast cardio. Fasting cardio is good for fat loss. However I'd advise at least 5g BCAA with that fasting cardio (30 mins worth) to help prevent muscle catabolism.

also, thank you!

Crazy huh??? Everyone on here who has been helped also owes a debt of gratitude to you for introducing me to this subforum

It depends. You don't have to use psyllium husk for ALL your fiber.

You should be eating raw green veggies which contain a good amount of fiber. Assuming you are NOT on keto, theres a lot of fruits with a good amount of fiber as well.

Also the BEST source of fiber comes from whole grains. A really good whole grain bread is 6g of fiber per slice. There's also some really good fiber bars out there with 12g of fiber per bar.

Those bars are delicious....theres a bunch of flavors, and all of them are good in my opinion.
