There is no bad word filter. It is AI so I do not know exactly what triggers it. Obscenities don't automatically trigger automoderation but maybe obscenity keyword density.

IMost shouldn't worry about it. Most.posts are.quickly approved. The main utility of AI is it throttles the multipage personal flame wars that trash the forum and sabotage any potential for useful discussion.

Iunno man, the carnivore folks are starting to look pretty political to me. Also, the rationale for paleo always struck me as stupid, because paleolithic man rarely lived very long past reproductive age. It just happened to be a pretty good way to eat, that is mostly whole foods and unprocessed carbs

I totally do not want to argue about diet stuff because it’s stupid. People need to simply find what works for them.

I think carnivore has its application as an elimination diet / autoimmune protocol.

Regarding not living past reproductive age, I believe the avg lifespan was driven “artificially” lower due to many folks dying from what would otherwise be curable ailments today e.g. infection from minor cut.

Personally, grains fuck my gut up pretty bad.

I eat oddly higher protein and fat, but lower carbs, when I am on my diet. Recently, eating like an asshole to see what this SLUPP can do!

Think you nailed it when you said mostly whole foods though! Probably the most simple way to eat healthy is just removing processed foods.

As a former and recovering CrossFitter, I bought into the Paleo mantra for a long time. At the time CrossFit was all in on the diet and many box owners promoted it. Not sure if this is still the case as I don't pay attention anymore.

The diet is nutritionally sound, but as you point out it has nothing to do with the rationale of the diet and everything to do with the fact that it consists of mostly whole and nutrient dense foods. So good results, but based upon a silly premise as many other nutrient dense foods are restricted on the diet despite their positive nutritional profile.

Back when I was still lost in Burpee land I was drinking far too much of the Koolaid to see through it unfortunately.

Agreed. Like yourself, I don’t want to argue about any particular diet. I’m more reflecting on my perception of the behavior of adherents to those diets.

Importantly, I think people need to find a sustainable way to eat that works for them.

Understood. Some people are just total freaking zealots, man. Extremes attract extremes I suppose.
 
Hi Guys! I need a little feedback on my current food intake.

- Sorry if this is a little long -

I'm a 39yo male, 5'3" current weight 164lbs - I started with TRT dose and upped (arund 7 weeks ago) to 350mg test a week (split in EOD injections).

My goal is to loose as much fat as I can. For the past 2 months I haven't seen a lo of progress weight wise, I can see some changes in the mirror but the scale is making me a little nervous.

I've previously posted my intake and some people suggested I was high on fat intake so I adjusted and stayed consistent with the below, but I still don't see scale changing much.

Would you make any adjustments to the intake? Or should I stay like this for longer to see slow results? I'm not looking to speed up the process, I just want to make sure I'm on the right path and do not waste weeks doing the wrong thing. TDEE calculator suggests I should be loosing 1lb a week at this defecit but that isn't happening.

I do weight training 4-5 days a week, plus playing soccer on Fridays (90mins games). I do some walking on my rest days to reach 10k steps a day, planning to up that to every day if possible.

BTW - I'm attaching a picture of me at the moment, (a little embarrasing though) but please tell me what is your guess around BF%

Not an excuse but I used to weight lift before, until a become a dad and I stopped all that for 10 years before this January, when I told my self I was going to reach my 40s in a better shape. I don't have a before picture now, but I can tell I'm very happy with the change and I want to keep it going.

How is the mirror changing? I wouldn’t fixate on the scale.

You have increased test dose which would lead to a bit more water retention + glycogen.

It sounds like at one point you may have had more muscle than currently? If so, you’re probably benefiting from muscle memory and recomping better than someone who hasnt been there before.

I would put much more emphasis on changes in the mirror than strictly scale weight, personally.

Looks like a great plan. At your size, the macros and kcal seem more or less right. Scale weight isn't everything. I would guess you are currently at about 14% BF? And perhaps some gyno there? Are you taking an AI?

If your BF% is going down, then your intake may be good. However, if your scale weight isn't changing, and your BF% isn't moving, then you'll need to drop the calories another 10%.

In mirror looking than 2 months ago, but for instance I can't tell if my lower abdominal fat is decreasing or if it's coming off a different place. I had the idea of reducing even more the calories but I'm afraid of that being not too smart decision. Do you see anything off based on my calories/macros wise?

I had gyno + some overweight in my teens, and started weight lifting backthen. Even though gyno is small, it is more visible when I'm at less BF. Now what you see is fat! Haha

I think I wanted to be assured I'm not going too low or too high on calories and macros were balanced.

I'll keep an eye on mirror and stay consistent on food intake, and will adjust down in 2 weeks if no changes at all.

Well imo you look good brother! The diet doesn't look bad either maybe just give it a lil more time for your expectations? You could up your cardio to three times a week and that might do the trick, nothing intense to discourage you just some more cardio, good job

Last time I had an epic sushi experience like that, it was at Sushi Kashiba in Seattle. The bill was roughly 10x that. I lamented how shitty I felt afterward more than the expense (which I expensed).

And since we’re on about Japanese cuisine. More chicken and rice:

Miso chicken, broccolini gomaae, daikon, pickled ginger.
