Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
I think tanning in the way you are talking about is a good example of Goodhart's Law:
“When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”
Sunlight is good for us, but setting out with an explicit goal of tanning kind of ruins the fun, turns it from something that happens while enjoying yourself in good conditions into something boring.
@atlantean1488 said in feeling warm yet my body is ice cold to the touch to others, am i of the living dead?:
@brad fluctuates between 33-34 degrees c
Yeah that really ain't good. 33-34C and cold extremities but warm core would suggest very underperforming thyroid and overactive adrenals. How much food do you eat in a day. and what does it typically consist of?
If memory serves it's usually either the liver running out of glycogen or potentially a lack of salt. I find most of my sleep issues could be solved with a large glass of OJ with some salt added (unironically delicious). As nice as ice cream is I find chilled dairy more difficult to digest, especially at night.
@PissBoy said in "Fat Free" Short grain rice and skimmed milk diet highly effective for fat loss:
what's the skim milk fat %? Lowest in my country is 0.005% but it tastes disgusting.
The one I get is negligible, less than 1g per litre. Honestly could probably get away with light milk, just know from experience that milk fat is fattening for me. Had to shop around a bit to find a good one, and I live in a country with pretty good dairy so YMMV on a source.

@GuantanamO-Shea How do you feel with that low fat?
Honestly really good. Just as thermogenic as always, if anything I feel slightly more responsive when it comes to things like the gym.

How's digestion and endotoxin with so much rice? This very interesting anecdote.
The reason I went with short grain rice is because amylopectin is way easier to digest than amylose, which makes up about 30% of your standard long-grain or basmati rice. If I ate the quantities of rice I do as long grain it would probably be far less pleasant,

@GuantanamO-Shea How quickly did the weight come off? And did you experience any symptoms of excessive lipid oxidation?
Was seeing visible change within the first few weeks, and while I don't pretend to understand the exact mechanisms of it fully I haven't felt any worse over these three months. It's my completely unbacked by anything speculation that since muscles burn mostly fat at rest they are better able to deal with fat oxidation than more glucose preferring tissues like the brain and vital organs, for which fat oxidation is a bit of a warning sign.
Am currently roughly 3 months into a dietary experiment where I get almost all of my calories from short grain white rice and skimmed milk. Had had this idea bouncing around in the back of my head for a few months and finally decided to try it out starting last November.
I had three main presuppositions that led to this diet being formed:
So far the results are absolutely incredible.
I have rapidly and consistently slimmed down over the last 3 months, even though I let both the diet and my gym training slip during December due to Christmas exams. All the while not actually having lost any weight, suggesting if nothing else this diet must be quite anabolic as I have gotten slimmer, stronger and feel very thermogenic.
Obviously I do get some fat, but the actual quantity consumed is probably less than 5g a day, with total calories being <2% fat.
The rice and milk are consumed ad libitum, I only measure my foods by volume but based on 5 minute math I am getting 2500kcal minimum a day, with the amount of food consumed slowly rising as time goes on.
The only slight bit of complication to the process is having to pre-soak the rice, but just leaving it in a pot with some boiled water for an hour and stirring halfway through does that. Then a quick rinse in a colander/sieve to wash off the starchy goo that forms and it goes into a pot and boiled for 10 minutes. Add a stock cube or 2 for flavour, chicken stock is pretty tasty.
Have been peating for several years, not sure if I would recommend this starting out to your standard skinnyfat PUFA-elemental without having done some groundwork to improve their muscle mass and liver function but it is extremely effective. Also very cheap, a months supply of rice costs <€50 & 2L/day milk being <€60.
Happy to answer questions if people have any!
Made an improvised version of bloo at home for a while, I founds best thing for making it stay in the hair was adding an egg yolk or two. Was really good stuff, need to start doing it again.
More than 4-5mg I start seeing significant pigmentation, though it's dependent on how active I am. On a sedentary day 8-10 drops of Oxidal tints urine very noticeably, whereas the same dose before a gym session results in very little pigmentation.
This leads me to believe the more you use MB to counter hypoxia, the less pigmented your urine will be at a given dose.
I remember seeing somewhere that aspirin combined with caffeine could, with ideal dosing produce effects around ~75% of the potency of DNP, but that was a while ago and I don't know where I saw it. Probably Twitter, though I have an inking haidut spoke about it on the old forum at some point.
I think it was 1g caffeine combined with 1.5-2g of aspirin per day, though obviously not all at once, more spread out.
Obviously depends on bodyweight, the gnomelings probably need less
Had my ribcage get noticeably larger in terms of both width and depth after I spent 6 months doing GOMAD with raw milk and K2.
I am much less of a raw milk supremacist now than I was then so would probably use either skimmed milk now or unhomogenized milk.
Wasn't an explicit goal I set out to have to embiggen the chest, but was a nice side effect. More immediately noticeable was I grew an inch in height, which was also good.
I reckon one could get much more pronounced results with combining the above with something like the Hise shrug or some form of pullover. I think I remember watching a good video on exercises for the ribcage, will see if I can find it.
