@Kilgore Those kind of cravings are mad, consumes your whole mind 😂

The problem I have is because I'm always active, my bodies craving fuel constantly. Feels great when I'm having decent amount of carbs with moderate fats and protein but if I'm trying to lose weight I'm just constantly thinking about food at anything less than 3k calories.

But with carnivore I could easily drop to 2.5k or even a bit lower and the fats make me feel so full I barely even think about food, outside of occasionally craving fruit/rice.

I might just switch for a couple of weeks, I know it's not optimal but I'd rather do that for 2-3 weeks and get lean and get back to eating properly instead of trying to work a small calorie deficit for with carbs for a longer period.

@cokefiend Yeah I agree, focusing on reaching your energy requirements with lots of carbs is the main thing. For muscle building there isnt really any reason to go over 1-1.2g/kg

@Androbolic, do you know what your temp and pulse rate average first thing in the morning and 20–30 minutes after you eat? Having rid yourself of serious depression and anxiety, it sounds like you improved your thyroid function, but given your lack of joy and poor energy levels, assuming your life overall is good and your food/caloric intake is adequate for your body’s needs, your thyroid may still need some improving.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have a look into the DC programme I've heard of it before but never tried it.

It's a good point about the concentric, I'm going to try speeding it up to 2-3s and just keep the eccentric phase slower.

I've read people say it should be harder on the joints but I get no joint pain at all when I do this very slow and controlled method and it always comes back it I start going faster and more explosive, even with good form.

Reckon I'll stick with the slower tempo to keep my joints feeling good and just focus on everything else nutrition and lifestyle wise to make sure I'm minimizing any negative impact from it.
