@sunsunsun possible that dianabol, 17a estradiol or 17a methyl 1 testosterone or any of it's metabolites are diuretics... authors say it could be pottasium counteracting the phosphorus

Week 2: Down from 81kg to 79.5kg
Did my first hill climb. I don't even know how long it took but it was a hard climb. at least 15 minutes. felt like 30.
Gonna see how I recover. Durian Rider says hill climbs are the best exercise to lose fat, and I believe it kinda, because as soon as I got home after biking 40km including the hill climb, I felt really hot when I are dried mangoes. -
@alfredoolivas be careful, because once again hard exercise depletes glycogen -> low blood sugar -> high cortisol, or you do anaerobic oxidation which lactic acidmaxxes your cells
-
@engineer Yeah I consumed 300g of sugar during my ride, and took aspirin and vitamin E.
-
@alfredoolivas yeah, but now you're supplying all the energy you need to complete the hill climb. Once you get back home what is your metabolism doing now? Your glycogen is still full or marginally depleted and now you're doing the same thing as before when you weren't biking up that hill. So the net energy gain/loss is a wash. Plus you're not burning much more energy passively because cardio doesn't build muscle very well.
-
@engineer Practice always beats theory, let's see how this goes. 1.5kg lost in two weeks is pretty good...

@alfredoolivas weight on its own means absolute bumpkus, what you want instead is a body fat % or waist measurement

"BTW, the most reliable and accessible way to track fat loss is your waist measurement.
Body weight fluctuates constantly due to changes in water retention, glycogen levels, digestion, minerals balance, and stress, which can easily mask real fat loss.
You can be losing fat while the scale stays the same or even increases, especially during recomposition, where you lose fat and gain muscle at the same time (muscle is denser than fat).
Your waist measurement reflects actual fat loss much more directly."
