@Voxel As is the case with all things I do, “nothing is true, everything is permitted”, haha. I don’t have a set timeline I abide by: I just listen to the signals my body sends. Which, thankfully, it’s quite good at sending those signals. Almond butter is a pretty good example for me. I love the stuff, but I develop an intolerance to it if I eat it daily. It’s a slow death but the peak is terrifying. I’ll first notice just grumbly stomach, then loose stools, and then finally, one day, I took a big spoonful of the stuff and found I couldn’t breathe. For the fruits and veggies it’ll be the same: I introduce them into the diet, over time I notice digestion is not running the way it was before, I take them out, things return back to normal. Typically I’ll do a re-introduction at that point just to see if it happens again, and if it does, it’s enough to rule out.
I honestly don’t think I’m fat adapted, simply because I’ve never taken the time to drop carbs enough to get into a state of ketosis. Between the greek yogurt, fruits, veggies and nut butters I’m getting in enough residual carbs, to say nothing of the occasional cheat meal (although those have become pretty rare). Based off my last blood work my glucose is square in the middle, for whatever that is work.
I measure my food cooked. Raw makes no sense to me, considering different cooking methods will yield different outcomes. But I also batch cook things and throw them together for meal prep. Funny thing is: I weigh food to make sure I don’t UNDEREAT. I discovered that during Building the Monolith the first time: what I would eyeball to be “1lb of meat” was typically around 12oz. I’m good at eyeballing consistent portions, but not accurate ones.
@davemccright Haven’t run the Deep Water Express or Deep Water Thrive/Badass, but I bought them. They were fun reads, and they’re on the bucketlist.

Notes: Do I know how to deload or what? Added onto Faust. You make your deal with the Devil, then you die for one round and pay up in the afterlife with your own ironic version of Hell. I started the death by burpees at 4 reps.
Rest of it was just getting in daily work, and, of course, can’t neglect the Poundstones.
Schedule is all screwy, which is a good time for a deload.
