Since gyms re-opened on 8 June after lockdown, I've been on a 750 kcal cut, been doing a 6-day PPLPPL split (at least I have time for this, being unemployed, eh?), and four 15-minute HIIT cardio sessions per week.
Went from a disgusting (on my frame) 82 kg to 76,5 kg as of this morning, and packed on a fair bit of new muscle.
I've got veins popping out everywhere: forearms, biceps, neck, there's a web of them coming up in the deltoids, and two big fat ones are making themselves known in the right light across one pec and the centre of the first and second row of abs.
Yet — for all that — my stupid BIA scale says I'm still at 17% BF, and I can't get rid of my fucking love handles for the life of me.
It's fucking frustrating.

I ran for the first time this morning.
2,65 Km (1.64 Miles) in 19m 43sec- What do you mean by "for the first time?"garbage
- i never ran before. As a trainning activity... Am I clear?Bennn
- Ha, sorry. Just seemed like an odd sentence. Pace yourself and google "forefoot striking". It'll save your legs.garbage
- thanks!Bennn
- 8km/h, er? Short legs?
J/k, congrats, take care of your kneesOBBTKN - My walking time is better than that brah.utopian

so after the first lockdown and an excessive amount of whiskey, pizza and general terrible diet, 3 weeks ago I decided to switch to OMAD.. well, Mon-Fri is OMAD, black coffee and water..
That one mean tends to be on the healthier side, although the occasional pizza or Enchiladas has happened.
Weekends its 2 meals.. Brunch and a dinner.. again, same type of food..
No coke or energy drinks, no chocolate or chips..
lost nearly 6kgs so far..
first couple of days were hard.. but once you get the hang of it, its not that hard at all.. we usually eat around 6pm.. so by 4:30 im definitely feeling like im hungry.
but honestly, its actually been really good. I have been sleeping way better, a bunch of aches and pains I have been having the last few months have gone away and I feel my head is a lot clearer..
On the weekend I smashed out a 2000 word essay in 4 hours..
granted it was a first draft, but it was a solid draft..
that would normally have taken me a week at least.anyway, OMAD for the win.
- that said, I definitely have KG to burn.. so im sure the weight loss will taper down a bit.. but for now, its goodautoflavour
- trying to make those meals with low GI foods.. definitely offsets the hunger betterautoflavour
- This has essentially been my natural state my entire life. Always getting crap from family and friends how unhealthy it wasGnash
- not going to lie, it was pretty brutal the first week.. but that was also sugar detox combined.. but now, its pretty goodautoflavour
- omad ftw, i lost 16kg doing it. was getting really fat for my height even.renderedred

Breakfast.
Before OR after running ?
- Aftermoldero
- Just skip it, better for youmoldero
- https://www.youtube.…PonyBoy
- Yes, skip running.deadsperm
- my app keep running when i walk thats why my times are shitty lolBennn
- just ran 2,75KM in 15minBennn
- ^thats not a bad pacedmay
- But if you only run for 15 minutes, you can skip or eat a piece of fruit so you don't fill your stomach emptydmay
- coolBennn
- If you're only running for 15 min you shouldn't be worrying about fueling or hydration even.deadsperm
- I would only recommend running without breakfast for up to 1 hour. Sometimes you can do "fast" runs as part of a training but I wouldn't recommend it long term.deadsperm
- If you're running around 30 minutes it's just a matter of personal taste. You shouldn't worry about it unless you're training for something specific.deadsperm
- afterdrgs
- cool. i just started running. iam starting with 2,75KM. I'd like to push it to 4KM before Fall.Bennn
- Small breakfast and a coffee.
BM.
Run.ideaist - After. You're done with a coffee for a run of less than an hour.OBBTKN
- If you're taking tips:
Focus on increasing your time running, not the distance. Adapt your pace accordingly.
You'll be running 10K in a couple of months.deadsperm - just fix mr yaris lolsted
- Whatever you feel comfortable with. Personally I can't run too soon after eating. But I also wouldn't do a long run on an empty stomach eitherBaskerviIle
- @deadsperm, good tip, i should probably start by running the whole 2,75KM without stopping and running faster when my body will say its ok :PBennn
- duringpango
- Before. I need the energy to last all four miles.imbecile
- never do the running, but instead enjoying 2 meditarenean breakfasts.neverscared
- I eat before running.SimonFFM
- I eat breakfast after running. Eating before gives me un upset stomach.instrmntl
- why not both?Nairn
- I eat breakfast about 15 to 40 times between runs.nb
- I eat running before breakfastChimp
- Full English, during.calculator
- Nairn, I prefer to eat then burn calories as opposed to eating then becoming sedentary.imbecile

Actually Nobody talks much about whats in the water.

Also a good start is to eliminate GMO food from your diet and keep away from processed foods. Also eliminated pesticides. Dont buy anything that uses them.

Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset for 30 consecutive days is associated with anticancer proteomic signature and upregulates key regulatory proteins of glucose and lipid metabolism, circadian clock, DNA repair, cytoskeleton remodeling, immune system and cognitive function in healthy subjects
https://www.sciencedirect.com/sc…
"Our study has important clinical implications. Our results showed that intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset for over 14 h daily for 30 consecutive days was associated with an anticancer serum proteomic signature and upregulated key regulatory proteins of glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin signaling, circadian clock, DNA repair, cytoskeleton remodeling, immune system, and cognitive function, and resulted in a serum proteome protective against cancer, obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, Alzheimer's disease, and several neuropsychiatric disorders. Importantly, these findings occurred in the absence of any calorie restriction and significant weight loss. These findings suggest that intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset can be a preventive and adjunct therapy in cancer, metabolic syndrome and Alzheimer's disease and several neuropsychiatric diseases."

Hey, just seen this on twitter, it's from a nurse I guess, explaining what to get if you indeed go down with that coronavirus:
https://twitter.com/smasheroteac…
Nothing alarming, just basic stuff, but I guess most of it is for the US - in the EU most of the meds carry different names, but you can still get them overthecounter, no antibiotics it seems?

"There are many additional treatments like vitamin D, glutathione, iodine and selenium, even hydrogen, but the first thing we should reach for is sodium bicarbonate...."

The keto diet focuses the immune system on the flu virus
If you want to reduce the chance that you will be struck by a flu virus, reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your diet. According to an animal study from the University of Yale, a low-carbohydrate diet activates a particular type of immune cell that helps keep flu viruses out.
- Noodles are carbs. They eat the most noodles in Italy and China. Don't eat noodles if you don't want Corona.robotron3k
- Yes, also we eat lots of bread in the EU, especially old people. Bread and pasta went of the shelves here in Romania this week.grafician

- Garlic when chopped finely and placed on the skin overnight, will result in a chemical burn. People use this to burn off moles and warts. It would make sense ..ShenanigansTV
- That the garlic could do some damage to a virus or bacteria.ShenanigansTV
- there's 1000s of tricks to fight cold, none really work, your immune system do the work, you just have to waitBennn
- ^ Exactly, about 95% of healing is NOT being sleep-deprived & NOT being dehydrated. Oddly, many people don't achieve & pharma products can't replace those two.BustySaintClaire
- WTF I ordered warm milk.dibec
- Replace Vinegar with fresh orange (just one) and garlic with fresh kurkuma. I do it regularly to prevent.SimonFFM

Doing intermittent fasting to detox. I’m not fat at all and not doing this for weight reasons but it has many other benefits.
Right now on 24hrs. Doing a 48hr fast. Will probably do this every 2 weeks.
- 'Detox' is a joke, you can't clean your digestive system like a jar. If you want to 'detox' just stop eating toxic shit, your body will clean itself up.deadsperm
