Apart from supplements, have you tried including well-tolerated green leafy vegetables, like asparagus or kale? It is often overlooked in the peat-sphere, but can be very helpful. Asparagus for example lowers excess ammonia, which often is a culprit for fatigue.

every morning, i wake up so bloated before having eaten anything.

Hi,
Tell what you do and don't do, on a regular basis. Don't comment. The comment may come later. Separate the problems and the comments, if pertinent.

Butchered and banned.

Why China. Why.

@ThinPicking ha!!!

@rohmilchbubi
We hunt and process our own meat. So the safety guidelines are our own.
The longer the animal hangs, and ages, the better the meat tastes. Its the same with processing a chicken, you slit the throat, process it and chill it for about 24-48 ours and then you freeze it or eat it. If you do it wrong the animal will taste like leather. It's terrible to eat.
When it comes to pigs, probably all the store bought pork you eat has been slaughtered under extreme stress. Visit a facility where they process them and you will hear their death screams. They know exactly what's coming.
My experience is that any animal eaten too soon is tasteless and tough. If we hunt elk, moose or deer the we make sure the animal is not chased and after being shot, hangs long enough so the meat is tender and tasty. It would be a waste of money to do it otherwise. Tags are not cheap.

@Mauritio Thanks 🙏

Interesting effects
*) Many of the pharma antiviral drugs used caffeine as adjuvant.
Caffeine Is a Strong Antibacterial Agent
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3125025
"...Caffeine and aminophylline had the ability to inhibit many strains of pathogenic bacteria."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8700184
"...Three purine nucleoside analogues, penciclovir (PCV), acyclovir (ACV) and ganciclovir...”
*) Caffeine Lowers Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4207951/
PTH increases when calcium intake and blood levels fall. Its role is to get more calcium in the blood. PTH does this by increasing calcium absorption from the intestine by increasing conversion of vitamin D3 into the "active" vitamin D called calcitriol. However, PTH also increases prolactin so the net effect can be quite detrimental to the bone. If a person gets PTH as a drug and does not also increase calcium intake then it will shed their bones by elevating prolactin.
Conclusion:
A physiological high dose of caffeine inhibits PTH secretion in human parathyroid cells, possibly due to a decrease of the intracellular level of cAMP. The observation demonstrates a functional link between caffeine and parathyroid cell function.
*) Caffeine is a dopamine agonist and is expected to reduce prolactin, as dopamine agonists do.

As a follow up on my previous post on caffeine being a dopamine agonist, it follows naturally that it is expected to reduce prolactin (as dopamine agonists do):
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hup.470040106/abstract
The study on life extension said 200mg every 4-6 hours. Other studies used different amounts for different purposes. For me (Haidut), 200mg every couple of hours works just fine without bringing in a stress reaction.
Note: The other studies are showing increased prolactin from 500mg caffeine per day but lower prolactin from 1,000mg+ per day.
*) Coffee is anti-inflammatory and good for diabetes (DT2 & DT3)
https://doi.org/10.1093/ajcn/nqy295
Results
Compared with nondrinkers, participants who drank ≥4 cups of total coffee/d had lower concentrations of C-peptide (−8.7%), IGFBP-3 (−2.2%), estrone (−6.4%), total estradiol (−5.7%), free estradiol (−8.1%), leptin (−6.4%), CRP (−16.6%), IL-6 (−8.1%), and sTNFR-2 (−5.8%) and higher concentrations of SHBG (5.0%), total testosterone (7.3% in women and 5.3% in men), total adiponectin (9.3%), and HMW adiponectin (17.2%). The results were largely similar for caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee.
Conclusion
Our data indicate that coffee consumption is associated with favorable profiles of numerous biomarkers in key metabolic and inflammatory pathways.
Comment: While it is known to be a factor in hypertension, recent studies show that, within reasonable limits, coffee actually has a hypotensive effect! A beneficial effect is seen with just two cups a day (between 2 and 4 cups).

The hardest part isn't losing weight, but keeping it off.
Not to mention the fact that if you're a frequent yo-yo dieter, it will become increasingly difficult to lose the weight you regain as you get older. And you run the risk of your brain slowing down its metabolism (starvation protection mode).
Not a good idea to get lower than 80 % of your required calorie intake. Otherwise, you will pay the bill early or late (deferred problems).

@evan-hinkle said in Visceral fat reduction by enteric-coated lactoferrin:

@Ismail hey man, doing well! I was taking 500mg Jarrow freeze-dried lactoferrin.

And just a general update: I’ve been taking the enteric coated for a few months now, and I actually think I prefer the ones I was taking before. I replicated the study above taking 300mg of the enteric coated, and really didn’t notice anything at all, (which is odd because I respond to most everything I try, (good or bad)).

TMI: I saw an undigested enteric coated lactoferrin in my stool last week, (great, they’re making it past the stomach-bad, I’m literally shitting my money away…).

Lol! I guess the enteric coating is working erm too well!

Since this event I’ve begun chewing the enteric coated pills, (now we’re really defeating the purpose, lol) and this has not made any difference. Still not noticing any effect. I’ll swap back to my old brand for a month and see what I think.

Yes will def be interesting to see how you respond if you go back again 🙂

@samson the ribose is not being reduced if it is interacting with MB, it is being oxidized.

I think about this thread once in a while to this day.

@Turk said in Why Does Wine Help with preventing Nighttime urination?:

Most nights I have to get up to pee, 1am, 2am, 4am most of the time, but have noticed when I drink wine, usually half or a full bottle, I dont need to wake up to pee. Does anyone know why this helps?

For anyone in the future searching for key terms like nocturia, waking to pee, night time urination, wake to pee, etc... When I am not calories restricting and just eating how I feel like, wine and or icecream about 1.5hrs before bed helps me to not pee during the night. And when I'm in a calorie deficit those dont seem to work, but what has worked was taking some cynoplus 1.5hrs before bed, a smaller dose than with my meals, it was about 20mg of cynoplus = 3.75mcg of T3, 15mcg T4.

@winters2 might just be bacteria thriving due to lack of dental hygiene, would repeatedly brush teeth until it no longer stains the toothpaste

@BroJonas @raytreats yup this guy is great. keeping a stack and doing incline presses and chest dips is the way to get big pecks fs.
