New study on whole milk ve skim milk in 17 healthy adults monitored for six weeks.

Effect of whole milk compared with skimmed milk on fasting blood lipids in healthy adults: a 3-week randomized crossover study. - PubMed - NCBI

Whole milk has a better effect on HDLC than skim milk. Their effect on LDLC, blood lipids, insulin, and glucose are indistinguishable.

Is there a distinction made for non milk drinkers?

Going back to the gym after drinking heavily the night before is such daunting task...

Going to the gym on monday after binging on a saturday...It crushes me. I lose like 25% of my strength. It's so annoying. Wish I could be 20 again where I could go to the gym high off my ass and feel like I'm actually more focused...

My biceps have been hurting me so I ended up taking an extra rest day... But yeah, the lower strength and the profuse sweating are really the problem for me

Welp, that extra day off did the trick (nice boost for my EZ curls)

Aiming for the 50lbs mark bro... Even though you said it was easy for you

In case anyone was wondering, getting your ring finger squished between 2 70lbs dumbbells is not a pleasant experience... Really wonder how I'm going to workout in the next few days

Shoulder killing me again on this squat day.

Ez, just squats or bench press. Just hold the ringy like you dont like people looking at you.

That's what I figured as well... Sadly no pulling for a little while

Have you tried a hook grip ? Doesnt put that much stress on the ring finger.

Today marks the end of three weeks of cheat meals including Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving leftovers, a cooking class of Italian food, an office Christmas party, a three day work trip to Virginia involving multiple work meals a day, and an eight day trip to Los Angeles.

I will try to fast for a few days and not look at the scale in that time.

Coming up: ten days in Florida, four days in New Orleans, three days in New Haven, four days in New Zealand, two weeks in Australia.

Let's see if I can weigh less than 180 lbs by February 12 the lol.

I just had one of the worst flights of my life. The fat woman next to me took up a third of my seat.

I always buy priority seats now.
Doing Shanghai - Montreal after tomorrow. 13 hours of pure fun!

At least you weren't in Atlanta (I hope)

But yeah they should definitely pay for 2 seats or be forced to go in first class

 

[Mrb1p]

I had pretty bad flight from LA to YYZ but I was next to a giant of a man, 6 foot 7, guy had his knees next to his hears. Poor lad. It was his first time flying, now he knows.

I'm done with conventional dead lifts I think, Sumo feels sooooooooooo much better.

Always intrigued me. What if I can pull much more in sumo? I never really tried sumo.

It's quite possible, shorter range of motion.

FWIW my friends tell me that starting off conventional is better before going to sumo. I've been doing conventional for 14 months now. Is it time?

Only way to find out is to try it. Ideally, you'd use both, but alot of people make the switch and never look back.

As in Intermittent fasting? If so, been running it since July and haven't looked back. I've lost 30 pounds so far and my strength has been relatively untouched.

yup, was talking about fasting. whats your eating window and calorie count

 

[Suiteness]

yup, was talking about fasting. whats your eating window and calorie count

I workout first thing in the morning so my feeding window starts right after the gym, around 7ish in the morning until 3pm. I'm currently in Maintenance mode so my I'm eating 2400 calories per day. I will be starting a bulk in January so I will be bumping that up to around 2700 kcals per day.

This is the calculator that I use to calculate my caloric intakes: Calorie Calculator - Daily Caloric Needs
