bioimpedance scales are a mood ring. they track how hydrated you are more than anything about fat

Highlights from this day
- two_three_lifts — you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it 17:19
- two_three_lifts — creatine has nothing to do with any of this and i still take it. five grams, cheap, well studied 17:34
- VialBot — Channel stats, last 30 days: 48 messages from 47 members. 18:11
- birch_bloods — greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing 19:03
- appetite_back — coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now 19:35
im lifting and losing and i cant tell if im getting weaker or just lighter

if you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to work out
electrolytes, is that just salt in water or do i need the sachets
resistance training twice a week, is that enough to hold lean mass
smaller containers

1.6 grams per kg is the number most of us landed on. at 80kg that is 128 grams a day
Testing queue: 6 submissions open, 23 awaiting dispatch.
dexa or the bathroom bioimpedance thing, is the cheap one worth anything at all

sarcopenia at my age, is that a real risk if im losing 27 in 24 months
please dont go lower
fibre from food
alcohol hitting harder is one of the most consistent reports in this channel. two drinks feels like five, thats one data point
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
did anyone get body composition measured before and after
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing

a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work, someone check my working
thats too few calories
what did people try for constipation food wise before reaching for pills
coffee on an empty stomach with slowed gastric emptying is a rough combination. i eat something first now

i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
the room is quite firm about eating enough and i think that is the best thing about this channel, ill dig out the number
a shake is food
[edited]is greek yoghurt actually as good as everyone in here says
appetite_backif you cannot eat it, drink it. that is the whole trick and it took me far too long to…
liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut
quick one i lost 17 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
cold food is easier
fibre from food first, psyllium if food is not doing it. i went straight to the sachets and regretted it, not advice obviously
dexa if you can
