If the fat loss starts halting, keep the calories down a bit. Maybe reduce the fat from 170 to 140. keep protein at 200...and watch the carbs.

good job though, 30 lbs is a lot of loss...keep up the good work!

Yeah, Im happy about it, but if i didnt slack on cardio for 2 months in between id be doin alot better atm lol

I think since i JUST started cardio again, il give it about a week or 2 to see if il lose more, if not then il lower , thanks for help

When ever I left something a little heavy there is a bit of pain in my forearm, not a lot though. Any idea of what I should do?

Any lift? or just a cetain motion ie: pulling, pushing, etc.

There is a chance you might have a strain, sprain, tendinitis, or even a more serious injury.

Your best bet is to see a sports medicine doctor or chiropractor and let them have a look at it. I would advise going the chiropractor way first as they are more eager to find a less complicated solution for smaller problems.

Hey Raynor. I am a few days away from my carb up day. I had a question. If I were to change up some meals on the carb up day, do I need to aim for only complex carbs? A mixture? I was just wondering if it made any differences.

Also, I was looking around some websites and I came across a website that said that a person with 180 pounds of lean body mass should be taking in 810g of carbs on the keto carb up day? wtf? It says that as long as the fat stays under like 80 or something you wouldn't gain any fat from eating that much either? They said this is what was NEEDED to fully refuel your glycogen. Opinions? I assume that is mad overkill but I thought i would ask.

Edit: And why do you recommend GAT jet fuel for a fat burner over anything else?

Also, is HIIT cardio THAT much more effective for fat burning than just jogging on the eliptical?

I am sorry for the extra questions!

for your carb day you need your regular amount of protein, approximately 40g fats (total), pretty much the rest from carbs. So for carb day, being about 500-800 cals more than a regular keto day, That puts you around the 400-500g of carbs area. 800 is extreme and that would be for someone around 250-275 lbs who is taking in a lot more calories. Your body does NOT need that many carbs to refuel glycogen....maybe over the course of 2 days it does, but not in 24 hs.

Next, any carbs...complex or simple, doesn't really matter....but you should be getting at least 50/50.

Jet fuel is just a very complete product that I have had a lot of experience with. It works very well and is also very inexpensive.

HIIT cardio is much better than anything else for fat loss. It also spares muscle loss. I highly recommend it. You can do it on the bike, eliptical, treadmill, stairs, etc.

Hey Raynor,

So I took a total of 5 weeks off after my knee injury (diagnosed as a laterally torn meniscus and sprained acl).

Can't have surgery til May, although I'd prefer to avoid surgery.

Dr. prescribed celebrex for anti-inflammatory.

Last week started lifting again, pain free on squats/deads/walking/climbing stairs/etc.

Only feel knee pain when putting weight directly through it (i.e. kneeling or when doing laying/seated leg curls).

Do you think that's just because of the stretch put on the ham by the machine? What're the odds of healing this w/o surgery?

Hiho Raynor!

Is raw eggs any good?

If bad / good, tell my why please!

- Johnny.

I think I have some loose skin near the lower abs due to cutting from 232 to 139 in a somewhat short period of time.
