I got a 58 this morning. I have eaten about 15 minutes ago and will test again in about another 15 minutes to see what happens with the glucose. everything I see online on websites is telling me that a 50 or 58 is not life threatening, but it should be looked at. I dont see the harm in seeing a endocrinologist?
58 is definitely on the low end and explains feeling shaky or off, but it’s not a dangerous crash. Since you already ate, checking again after 15 to 20 minutes is the right move and you’ll probably see it climb back up. Protein shake and some yogurt is plenty to handle a dip like that, just keep your meals consistent so it doesn’t swing too much. Don't need to see an endo for some blood sugar level like this, it's nonsense.
@LevButlerov is it normal for people to feel hypoglycemic when they are fasted? Of course I think I have felt that way before but for the most part I don’t. Sometimes I’ll be working all day with no food and I’ll be hungry, but I rarely if ever get shaky or anything. I made a comment above, do you think I’m off base?
Yes that’s normal, not everyone feels shaky when they’re fasted. Some people run low and still just feel a bit hungry or flat without the typical hypoglycemia symptoms. If you’ve gone long days without food and only felt hunger then that’s just how your body handles it, doesn’t mean anything is wrong.
@toddthelineman
You panic for no reason seriously. Stop taking peptides if you think you need a doctor tbh.
It’s more just a case of, the government will subsidise it by 90% anyway, why not just see one? There’s literally no harm in seeing as they can do more tests than I can with a 50AUD blood glucose meter yknow?
@Rurx7 solid work and log right here bro!
What tests do you need? you didnt eat a lot and your blood sugar dropped, I dont understand the medical issue you have. @Rurx7
That’s a huge jump, doubling your situps and pushing past the 30 pushup mark shows adrenaline and prep paid off. Passing the beep at 7.5 right on target is clutch, means you timed your run perfectly. Solid work under pressure, you clearly rose to the occasion.
Ill see how my blood sugar goes over a month and then decide from there. If it starts trending towards healthy ranges, then I will presume its fine. I am overreacting slightly.
Yes sounds like you’re overreacting a bit, giving it a full month to see where your blood sugar trends is the smarter move. No point stressing day to day when the bigger picture is what really matters. @Rurx7
Do you think its a dumb idea to start gh secretogogues in this case? My understanding is that they would lower insulin sensitivity, whilst im currently insulin sensitive. It makes sense from my perspective, but I also understand that the endocrine system is complex, and its probably not that easy.
Yes, no need to add secretagogues right now, you’re already insulin sensitive and running them won’t give you anything extra in that spot. Better to keep it simple and save that card for when it’s actually needed.
Check out Dr Ben Bikman’s content. Glucose, insulin, etc. one of if not theee most published PhDs on the topic, and he shares his findings so the public doesn’t have to wait years for it to make it into text books.
I’m so dumb. It’s 5.8 not 58that means that my fasted glucose is a little bit too high rather than too low. Ie I need to be cutting carbs not adding to them…
Not dumb at all, good you caught it before making changes in the wrong direction. A fasting glucose at 5.8 means it’s smart to tighten carbs down a bit and let insulin sensitivity improve before adding growth. Once you get that number into the lower end you’ll be in a much better spot to introduce GH without pushing it higher. Solid call to hold off and fix the base first.
welcome to the EVO family
@angelmakeup With peptides and powders you’re really just working out the math between the amount of drug in the vial and how much liquid you add, so every line on the insulin pin equals a set dose. Example with your BPC-157 vial: 10mg powder = 10,000mcg. If you add 2ml bac water, then 1ml = 5000mcg, and 0.1ml (10 units on an insulin pin) = 500mcg. So for 200mcg you’d pull a little under 5 units, for 300mcg it’s about 6 units. If you want easier math, add 5ml water instead, then 1ml = 2000mcg, 0.1ml (10 units) = 200mcg exactly.
@Rurx7 nice training update. Looks like you got some good volume man keep killing it big guy you’re getting where you need to.
Nicely done on the workout
Good pull day, rows and shrugs at those numbers will build your back thickness fast and the curls after finish the arms nicely. You’re handling the weight with solid rep ranges, just keep building consistency and you’ll see those lifts climb week to week.
Not really, I just need to bide my time until I get my glucose low enough so I can use gh secretogoguesGood pull day, rows and shrugs at those numbers will build your back thickness fast and the curls after finish the arms nicely. You’re handling the weight with solid rep ranges, just keep building consistency and you’ll see those lifts climb week to week.
how is your look, you getting more mass? @Rurx7
That's the way, you need to start working harder in the gym and eating more to grow. Post updated pics please. @Rurx7
You’re getting stronger. That means your muscles are getting bigger. If the scale isn’t going up, then you are getting leaner. Stay at it. Dial in your sleep and food continually. IMO 90% of what gh does happens while you sleep and because of the sleep the gh causes. I still maintain that you don’t need gh or secretagogues but if you cannot get optimal sleep (you can though), the gh will make you get the sleep. A lot of people (I’ve been guilty) take gh and then wind up drinking a ton of energy drinks. But that’s not what you want, ideally.
Good update right here. Nice work
That’s the easiest way. And it yields results. Something about the simplicity can really take your digestion to another level. Single ingredient foods with very simple seasonings you add yourself. Easy to track, easy to ship for, streamlines your whole life really.
Bench numbers are moving fine, 70 for reps after hitting 80 shows you’ve got decent top-end strength and endurance. Shoulders and back work are consistent too, 22.5 presses and rows plus curls all in good ranges. You’re stacking enough volume, the main limiter is really just dialing food.
@Rurx7
Food needs work, can you add healthy fats like olive oil instead of mayo? @Rurx7 and you stopped the peps?
@Rurx7 The diet could be worse, but it also could be way better. You need to do a better job of sticking to high-quality whole food options. Food prepping is going to be crucial for you.
you need to fix your diet. its all processed foods it seems. these ready made meals are not the way to go @Rurx7
Any reason why you lacked time?
check out the other logs on here. @Rurx7 look at how guys are eating. you need to food prep.
@Rurx7 way too much packaged foods. pre made frozen foods are not good. you need to cook your own stuff for sure
bros a short gym session like this okay. 9 sets is better then none. good on the dinner with lamb and potato. @Rurx7
The food will be the shortcoming definitely work on adjustments
@Rurx7 make sure youre eating high quality foods!
I had mayo because it was my dads cooking lol
yep, im about to go to the gym, ill buy some more food and do some meal prep tonight. ive been having those as a last resort when time didnt allow
i had to get home for dinner ~ im living at home (because im 18)
Very fair
Honestly it’s better to not eat anything then eat junk food which goes against conventional wisdom molded by the food industry
meal prepping is huge!
whats considered junk food? If i have a shake from the gym or pineapple juice like today, is that junk food?
All the processed ready made meals are junk and fake food. Yes including protein powder and juice as they are both processed
Protein is high, can you get it higher? @Rurx7
@Rurx7 nice update man. Keep it up.
thats not going to be possible for me to achieve realistically. I try to eat as clean as possible, but if Im spending all day at uni, I have no way to store fresh food, and then heat it up and eat it at night (considering I may arrive at uni at 8am and then leave at 9-10pm). I do agree tho that I need to include more "actual" food ~ im gonna try ramping up food prepping. rn im doing a 1 day fast cause i feel bloated af and usually fasting helps.
thanks bro
When you food prep add salt to ur foods. That will preserve it pretty good. Take a cooler with you. Plenty of Whole Foods can be eaten cold or you can find a microwave at uni to use in the cafeteriathats not going to be possible for me to achieve realistically.

dont cry boost protein
Ill look into it this saturday.
I need to cut!! I have to take all the military photos and give the oath on the 21st, I dont want to be bigger for those. when I go to military training in jan (or another time it hasnt been confirmed as of yet) id also rather be a bit leaner to help with cardiodont cry boost protein
How long have you got? A few days to a week on zero carbs will transform your look like nothing else. You’ll lose at least 10 pounds of water. Especially in your face, it will look very anthletic, but your whole body too. Eat all the fat and protein you want. It won’t make one ounce of difference except to make zero carbs not feel like you’re dying. It really works man, this is well known. And when you become truly lean you can use carbs to pump your muscle back up, it’s wild how you can manipulate your appearance
ok yknow what ill do that. Ill try to do 0 carbs for next few weeks until miltiary enlistment ceremony.
You can do it! It really only takes like three days. But you’ll want a test run at least. You need to know that there’s a point where you lose all the water in your guts, I guess? And you will have a bout of diarrhea the first time. Might be day one, might be day three, but DO NOT trust a fart. And don’t cheat. Not one piece of candy, don’t eat a berry. It’ll just slow the process down and make you want more.
ok ive already had two monsters today so my carbs are very high - from this point on ill cut down. how many can I have? if a zero cal coke has 0.1 carbs is this fine etc??
I mean, I can’t really say for sure. My instinct tells me that a Coke Zero won’t stop the process, I’ve had a tanker with of zero sugar red bulls.
You need to go up in cardio but more protein will NOT make you fat. @Rurx7
Just drink water, eat meat, eggs, fish, etc.
Yes, that will work and it’s not a bad idea. You’ve got plenty of time, also.
you're no in ketosis why do you think you are?
not enough protein again
That’s pretty low! Not zero. There’sa phenomenon that can happen where you get close to zero carbs, but not all the way there, and it sort of teases your body and you a get prolonged keto flu. Many recommend going ask the way to zero as quickly as possible. It worked for me, but I rarely go to zero for even a day now, but I am no longer keto adapted, I can get there very quickly
Good leg session even if you hate it, the effort on extensions and curls shows strong control. Keep the top set at 96 for 3x8–9 and try adding one back-off at 84 for 12 to build density, calves can move to 130 next week if reps stay above 12.
im trying to get into it cause im doing the low carb thing that todd suggested.
How do you even do 100% no carbs tho?? everything has a tiny amount of carbs in it. I cant just eat raw beef without seasoning
Seasonings can definitely be ok for what you are doing. I can only share what I know for sure, you know? I can’t say if 30 or 50 grams of carbs is going to give you a failed keto adaptation, but I have heard that it can. It’smy intention to encourage your best chances for success, but I understand how taste and cravings can be
I dont notice any differences
Protein is high I like that
@Rurx7 remember its not about the macros. its about the QUALITY of the foods. don't forget that
Or have a meal preppedProtein is high I like that
and VERY smart you fasted at dinner, happy to see you got self control @Rurx7
if you have budget, buy protein bar so you can eat that next time at dinner
terrific work on laying out the food for today. not a bad breakfast at all. i would go easy on olive oil though @Rurx7
fasting is a nice little tool. i never believed in it until i started to do it @Rurx7 its a great option and works well
@Rurx7 seems like you're doing a good job trying to clean up your diet. Beef mince and eggs is a really good option. Just make sure on that chocolate it's 100% pure cocoa.
Bros. You're doing a great job on this setup. The eggs are really solid. Make sure you're cooking them very light. Don't smother them in oil that ruins it. @Rurx7
Let us know how it goes
very true
Cut doesn't mean cut protein, keep the protein high cut carbs and do more cardio.
good make sure to drink water and some salt, like 1/4 tsp in water and 1/4tsp baking soda.
@Rurx7 I like this food log! Good tool!
My meat was going to expire so I ate it yesterday and will fast today
Today when I do my cardio it will be fasted
Did you do fasted cardio today? I see your protein is higher but carbs low fine but fats get to 100 @Rurx7My meat was going to expire so I ate it yesterday and will fast today
Today when I do my cardio it will be fasted
