Pills are fine.
All I keep seeing and hearing is "pills are goooood, pills are goooood" from Dumb n Dumber.
I’m on a great diet right now, feel great, 2200 calories, 50% protein, 20% fat, 30% carbs and almost zero sugar. It’s the most disciplined diet I have ever tried.
The only problem is that it is high in sodium. I am doing a myfitnesspal for it and it has recommended 2300 mg of sodium per day but I’m finding myself coming in at 2500-3000.
It’s coming from things like fish, chicken, eggs, bacon, seasonings and whole wheat bread. It adds up quick, but these items are essential to me hitting my other targets.
Should I try to cut it down? Also, I have read that potassium balances it out so I am considering getting a vitamin supplement although I may be getting enough from the diet anyway.
Do what works for you. If you get too strict on your diet it won't last. The only reason to be super strict on a diet is if its for a limited time because you are training for a specific goal.
Yeah, I’m sticking with it. This works too good. From a numbers standpoint, it looks really strict but I enjoy the food and am very satisfied.
Some things that have helped:
-Eating a big breakfast, 4 eggs, 4 pieces of bacon, 2 pieces of toast
-Putting chicken in my salad for more protein, I’ve been getting chicken tenderloins, tasty, defrost fast, cook fast
-Tzatziki sauce, this is my one source of dairy, I make it with non-fat greek yogurt and just dip raw veggies in it as a snack
-Avocados, a true wonder food, make guac and salsas
Got my creatine yesterday afternoon. Started on my loading week today. 2.5g pills. 2 of them at breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 15g a day.
Next week down to maintenance which will just be 1 pill with breakfast and 1 pill with dinner for 5g a day.
You don't need to load
Hmmm everything I’ve read recommends it. Obviously not necessary, but to get faster results at the first week or so, it’s recommended. Maybe I’m reading the wrong stuff though.

No load. Scoop a day, ton of water, swole af
Just about everything I read says for best results to load for the first week, so I think I’m going to. Definitely continuing to drink lots of water. Swole AF
If you use gloves I can only assume you’re also wearing a thong
So I’ve got some pain in my outer left knee. Gets worse after squatting and then randomly after not being on my legs throughout the day it’ll hurt when I get up.
Any ideas?
I’ve been just squatting through it but had to stop after my 2nd set today. Hurts more after the squat than during the squats...
Would a knee sleeve help?
Go to the doctor
