I’m three days into 1200 calories a day and eliminating almost all carbs and like 3 liters of water minimum per day. Got through the keto-flu this morning and my Lumen readings have me burning fat. Goal is to drop 20+ lbs by the start of the season. All in goal is 25-30. I’ve crashed 30 in 30 on this diet before. Zero fun but very effective.




Enjoy your real food.

20 pounds in a month? That can't be healthy, Dude. And your body is going to think it's starving, so when you do start eating normally again, it's going to try and store every single calorie into fat. I went through it during my ruptured appendix: 190->160->220.

Yeah, it’s not a way to live long term. After the dive you have to pull up on the stick slowly and keep the metabolism in line with the intake. My case was that after coaching this spring my body was broken. Consider what would happen with a pitcher throwing 300 pitches a day 5-6 days a week for four months straight. That’s basically what I did, but at least I was able to split left / right arm reps. I needed to recover and couldn’t effectively work out… and did not adequately compensate caloric intake. On top of that, the calories I was getting were way more carb heavy than I should have.

I’ve done this diet before and did a 60 day run and it’s acceptable for the goals achieved. The meal replacements are very well balanced and I do get a real meal every day… just no beers.

Back when I was in the best shape of my life I was eating between 2,000-2,500 calories a day (play regular cardio and weight training) with an empathize on 200g of protein daily. This is what my typical meal looked like

That looks divine.

Best shape of my adult life was probably same caloric intake and I was on our Precor AMT and / or Erg (rowing machine) every day… and low carbs. Still have both pieces of equipment so the only excuses I have are not legitimate. Other than being legitimately lazy.

Looks like crap now, but in a couple of weeks it will be a guava-lime gose. 1.052 original gravity and I’m taking it down as far as the yeast
F43C2898-7168-4FF9-9F6B-D61A0D28CF55.jpeg


will go by September 1 when I filter and keg.

PH coming in at a nice and tart 3.3 after a week of kettle souring on lactobacillus.

Grain bill was 3 lbs wheat and 3.2 lbs Pilsen.

1/2 oz East Kent Golding hops, coriander, lime peal, lemon peal, and salt.

Should be 5.5% when done.

I don’t make spaghetti often, but when I do, I don’t fuck around.

Sauce made from tomatoes and peppers from the garden + onions and mushrooms. Seasoned with basil and oregano also from the garden. Cooked the tomatoes down for about 4 hours, sweated the peppers, onions, and mushrooms — tossed those in with the sauce to simmer for another hour then threw in the herbs at the end. Served with noodles I made this afternoon.

A pain in the ass but holy fuck is it worth it versus store bought noodles and sauce.
