I'm done with the carnivore diet. 🐄

I defeated carb addiction, and boosted my testosterone with lifestyle changes, in 5 months.

Long read:

I'm currently 5 months into a cut, working on reducing body fat. Before that, I ate a carnivore diet for 5 years, paleo/keto since 2011.

I agreed to add 60g of carbs pre-workout at the start of my cut, per my trainer. Also 1g protein/lb body weight, with fat for the remaining calories.

Carb addiction is something I battled my entire life. Moderation was impossible for me - the cravings were the worst! Keto and carnivore diets can be lifesaving for people with this issue.

That said, I still couldn't lose stubborn body fat, so I was willing to make changes.

The cut was going great initially, but my energy levels dropped off a couple months in. I felt like a zombie. I knew at some point it could happen, and I know hormones are impacted by a cut.

I had blood work done pre-cut, and my total testosterone was 575ng/dL. Normal for a mid-40s man, and I always felt great & healthy. No complaints!

10 weeks later: total T dropped to 205 ng/dL. 😲

My body was telling me something needed to change.

For the first time in nearly 15 years, I switched to a high carb diet. I started eating 165g carbs per day, timed around pre & post workout meals.

My weight skyrocketed ~10lbs, even with only 1885 calories/day. Most of that was likely water weight, but my workouts at the gym started progressing at crazy levels, likely because of increased muscle growth.

Even so, it felt bad seeing that scale number shoot up when I'm trying to *lose* weight. I rolled with it, understanding that body recomposition can take many months.

By the end of November I felt incredible. Energy through the roof, huge mood improvements, etc. The carbs were working! So I decided to get more blood work done. The results?

Total testosterone jumped to 1005 ng/dL. Free testosterone 205.2 pg/mL. 🤯

This...WAS a surprise, to say the least. WOW!

My long break from carbs helped overcome the addiction and cravings. For the first time I can moderate these foods with ease. This is the biggest win so far, and I've had a lot of W's recently.

My perfect diet down the road (post-cut), will still be heavy on beef, but also foods like fruit & honey. Never processed garbage.

It took a long time to fix this issue, but it's real growth to be able to have a healthy relationship with carbs. I still have a ways to reach my current goal, and lots of building to do after that, but I thought I'd share this interesting development.

Can't say I expected my total T to drop 50%, and then nearly 5x within a few months, like it was the #Bitcoin price chart. 😂

(FYI: all blood work took place early AM in a fasting state)

Bring “your” platform. I’m happy to hear it out.

Just one rule. No creating money through seigniorage to fund it.

It’s so easy to get caught up in all the other bullshit and forget that the Fed is the root of most of the worlds problems.

END THE FED

Sound money is apolitical.

PERSON: CATEGORIZE YOURSELF INTO A LITTLE BOX SO YOU CAN FIT WITHIN MY SHALLOW WORLDVIEW.

BEN: NO. I AM VAST. I CONTAIN MULTITUDES.

This makes sense. Hugs 🫂

I tried to explain this to my brother in law, and he said "oh so you're a trump supporter..."

Nope, I am all in on freedom and standing on a pile of useful idiots who believed they could achieve their political ambition *and* control bitcoin after.

Satoshi already destroyed central banking. We are living out the slow unwind.

It’s beautiful but why not just pick a winner 🥇 from people who reply

My political stance is orange coin good 😂

This could go a couple of different ways. Your sister could realize the value of hard money, self custody, and individual sovereignty or, like my girlfriend, provide her personal information to a website named CoinDog or CryptoMadness and spend her limited resources on a Trump-themed NFT.

Whatever you do

Don't dance

Gonna be hard

..it it's for real, then I hope she'll don't get too much depressed about it, and sure she'll never lost a seed phrase again.

Bitcoin is a constant responsibility learning curve, many times we learn the hardest way.

Can you believe all we had to do was get lucky? I have survivors guilt.

To be fair that's tangentially covered in your bond auctions point.

The people want the soybean oil. It's heart healthy unlike that poisonous lard that gums up your arteries and kills kittens in Africa.

It’s almost impossible to find anything in a package, can, or jar that is worth eating.

Show off. I've checked the bitcoin price every day since 2017.

What?!? Is she tired of sitting on your lap?

Your wine is better than ever too. Good stuff, man.

Need higher

I need most!!!!

That was so mean why would I say that

When I lived in the city, I admittedly found myself looking down on the rural population.

Now that I live here, that feeling is reversed

This is my drive to the grocery store.

My wife hates this, but I’m still proud of my 3rd grade “invention”.

It’s a piggy bank, coin toss game. My goal was to make saving money more fun.

WTF is a math?

I hate it here

There will be signs
