Howdy all. What’s everybody’s amount of electrolytes ? I ask as I’ve been having about a tub a week. Today I only had a few pinches of Celtic salt and about 1 liter of water and I felt alive. I currently use the flavoured keto pro ones. I think the flavoured ones trigger some sort of eat more food signal. As today I’m not hungry and also I’m eating and I don’t want much as it’s a rest day I’ve only managed 500g of chick steak. Anybody else notice this cutting back

This is from the low carb skool group - where everyone is lapping it up as usual I can't be arsed posting much on there, because there is never any comeback or detailed questioning of anything. So here is the counter Corrections worth making. A glucose-fed individual already oxidises fat continuously — at rest and at low intensity, β-oxidation supplies the majority of substrate. Nobody is "locked into" glucose. CPT-1 activity, mitochondrial density and fatty acid transport are constitutively present. Keto-adaptation raises the rate and shifts the crossover point upward. It does not enable a pathway that was absent. On glycogen: the FASTER study found keto-adapted athletes had similar resting muscle glycogen to high-carbohydrate athletes — not higher (Volek et al., 2016). Utilisation and repletion patterns were comparable across a 180-minute run. Maintaining normal concentrations on ~82 g carbohydrate per day is the genuinely notable finding. "Higher" overstates it. Third point: metabolic flexibility means efficient utilisation of either substrate as demand dictates — including rapid glycolytic flux at high intensity. Sustained ketogenic adaptation can attenuate pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and blunt that capacity. What he is describing is unidirectional fat-adaptation, which is a different thing. Terminology. "Glycolysis in reverse" is wrong. Gluconeogenesis bypasses three irreversible glycolytic steps using distinct enzymes — pyruvate carboxylase, PEPCK, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase. "Twelve weeks minimum for full enzymatic adaptation" is not an established threshold. Reported timelines span weeks to months with wide inter-individual variation. Volek, J. S., Freidenreich, D. J., Saenz, C., Kunces, L. J., Creighton, B. C., Bartley, J. M., . . . Phinney, S. D. (2016). Metabolic characteristics of keto-adapted ultra-endurance runners. Metabolism, 65(3), 100–110.

I hate the word diet. I prefer to say I’m Animal Based. Diet I think means something you won’t be doing for long. I’m interested to see what people’s eating ways are so setup a bit of a survey, mark what your way is and give a brief bit of feedback. Cheers ears

Haven't had many over the years as I'm piss weak and use good form but a few years ago after diving straight in on Sprinting I got a sharp pain while running, in the area I'm pointing at. The sprints now are making it come back . The DMSO helps with pain but I don't wanna McGregor myself and my sprinting comeback bf two years hence. What do you think I've done to it ? And what should I do to rehab (Wolverine stack I guess ?)

Ive never been one for wraps and belts. My own old rule of thumb was no support below 1 1/2 x body weight lifts. Ive just bought some knee wraps to give me confidence whilst squatting. I am genuinely afraid of my knees going sideways, snd that fear is effectively controlling my leg progress. Ive always felt that wraps make a joint weaker in the end. What do you guys think?
