If you would like to discuss that I’m all in if you feel it’s acceptable, and you feel like you can discuss it without breaching protocol.
If you’d like to discuss in my log that’s fine. The latter half of my log is filled to the brim discussing things like this. Or if you’d like to make a place specifically for this that’s perfectly fine too.
I do need to get a tiny bit of rest though. I’ll be free after 1pm though. U.S Central time? I think?
But you trust yourself to count your calories, somehow?
Jabs and barbs aside, I think you need to try to remind yourself that the average person will seriously undercount their caloric intake. You have the polar opposite problem. Here’s hoping you will be mindful of it and that something in all this crazy posting will stick.
Feel free to @ me wherever you want to discuss the situation further.
You are also welcome, anyone is (really), to use the email in my bio. However, I don’t check it without being prompted to do so. Therefore, if you send me an email on that address it’s paramount to @ me somewhere on here, otherwise I’ll miss it. I’ll keep an eye on it today though. I’ll respond to you @EmilyQ using another email address I do keep up with.
Just so you know, I have no formal training. I’m just a person who’s life has exposed them first, and second-hand, to varying emotions and difficulties.
It’s worth pointing out that what you are doing is, in no way, exercising discipline. This is extremism. Extremism is SUPER easy and requires zero discipline. It’s either 0 or 100. Those are super easy.
Think of the accelerator pedal in a car. If you don’t press down on it, that’s just as easy as pressing it all the way to the floor. Both require no constant focus or attention. But riding it consistently somewhere in the middle to maintain a consistent speed? THAT takes discipline.
If your fear is letting your discipline slip, time to realize your fears have come true. Get your discipline back.
Thanks, all.
I’m at work today and again, not sure I want or need to open it for discussion. I’m not out of tricks yet, and I also realize that people dealing with similar issues have very different MO’s and underlying motivations.
We’ll see! But thanks.
No, it didn’t. 7oz of chicken is about 30-35g protein, but the rest of your protein is from plant sources which means the protein is not complete and also not fully digestible. Nutrition experts recommend increasing protein intake by 50-100% if it is from plant sources.
I looked up those bars of yours, one has 10g and the other 12g. Add 8g from soy milk and maybe 2-5g from oats and seeds you have no more than 35g. But since it’s from plant sources it’s equivalent to no more than about 24g. So in reality your protein intake including the chicken is 60g tops and your fat and carb intake is extremely low, and you are training like a full time crossfit athlete.
You are killing yourself slowly.
A slightly less eloquent way to phrase this, heavily plagiarised from Wendler:
“Discipline is doing what’s necessary for your goals”
Taking your goals at face value, you are not doing this.
If you ever feel the need, don’t hesitate. Whether or not you want to springboard your own approach off of someone, discuss different strategies, be barraged with new ideas or somewhere inbetween. And if you don’t know what you want or need we can talk all the same and hopefully there’ll be some value there to takeaway at the end anyway.
And if you in the process end up changing your mind that’s fine by me as well.
@anna_5588 this goes for you too should you feel the need.
Thanks!
Nice, gotta monitor my diet as well as you do
There’s an article on Poliquin Group about 6oz of meat, approx a 30-36g protein serving, being ideal for protein synthesis post workout.
I also been mixing carton egg whites into OJ lately too haha
Wrong thread?
I saw a glimpse of your day of eating, but then read the other comments and realized how light it was 
But yeah, a few 4-6oz servings and protein snuck in here and there should help
Week 4: Day 4
Treadmill: 30min incline walk- 10%, 3-3.5mph
3x(10incline bench-30kg+20close grip pushups)
Good morning: 3x15-20kg
How does your “Week X: Day X” work?
Maybe it’s just typos but this week it looks like you’ve lifted at least 5 days straight. Some titles say week 3, some 4, some 5. The day also isn’t sequential.
Every Sheiko # I’ve seen are 3 day/week programs
They’re three days/week, but I don’t have time to do accessory work so I modify/move the accessory work (and sometimes unfinished main work) to the other days
This. If you’re ever interested in the other side of the addiction equation, I’m happy to share.
I don’t know anything about training to be a therapist in any country, but as a casual offside remark, it would probably be hugely beneficial if they during their studies or during their practice had access to people that have had various issues that are open to,and capable of, talking about their behaviour in great detail.
The vast majority have no understanding of addiction, in my opinion, and are not open to understanding it. I think that’s why many former addicts go into some type of support role for addicts after dealing with their own addiction - overcoming addiction requires an enormous paradigm shift in your thinking.
Does your own thinking ever regress to pre-paradigm shift line of reasoning?
