I have not inhave appnt with my pcp on 29th am.sure she will do labs again in couple of weeks to see where they are at, in the meantime time inhabe cut my potassium medication in half and will keep avocado at every other day because that will help my hdl which needs to come up as well... never had too much potassium as an issue i habe always had low potassium hence tske 80 meq or 4 - 20 meq tablets daily. I have cut that in half. @LevButlerov
lets do eod avocado thats fine but lets see the new bloods on 29ths @rayray01
nice meal prep what macros on it? @rayray01
dont buy
Here is the macros breakdown on it.
Man I take magnesium every night, valerian root and still struggle to get 8hrs of rest. Melatonin does not do anything for me, used to take it but switched to valerian in hope of better sleep. Still no liuck.
These are actually hours I slept, I am in bed 8 hours or on dinner days 9 hrs but actual sleep is 4'6 hrs only... and this, it's not new hume days days the same and so did fit but and this is despite taking valerian root. I really struggle with sleep all my life so much so that I have gotten used typo functioning ink 4-5 hrs of sleep
you have tested melatonin? glycine ? @rayray01
Inhabe taken Melatonin but does nothing for me in terms of the quality of sleep.
Lets try to add glycine and see.
good day

This sunday boost your carbs for 1 day by 100 carbs try to have healthy carbs @rayray01 just 1 day and just this sunday
Sure I will do that...
Looking good mate. You've leaned up a lot since I last looked!
Nice food. 260g protein is good going!
awesome
lets get fats up a bit add some walnuts
Glycine works, but mild. I find it’s good for sleep quality, but won’t overpower other things you take that interfere with rest, such as Ashd medication and pre workouts, especially later in the day.
This is a huuuuge change bro I love the new abs!
12% you sure?
Dont take any prescription sleeping meds please.
Ok, won't take trazodone. Melatonin on top of valerian and glycine?? My challenge is not falling sleep, it's staying asleep is where my challenge lies. Hopefully dsip will help.
No man I do not take any pre workouts and my doc changed my adhd prescription from 20mg to 10mg on my request and I don't take any past 1pm
Yes try this, you need to get off your phone pre bed as well.
100mcg of clen you taking now?
Yea man. But it's at 4:30am before my gym session. You think increasing hgh will help with deeper sleep.
No no not yet (on the trazadone) trust me.
Would you one day consider titrating off these? Very slowly mind you. You've come a long way just through the screen to me and in your log so I think EVO is helping your mental state in terms of focus and a sense of expediency on things. I see a big improvement bro.
OMG bro I'd dump the clen and add HGH for sleep for sure. Half life of clean is about 33 hours so it's FOR SURE affecting your sleep. And by now you're saturated with it. I'd dump the clen and add 2iu HGH pre-bed.
Yea I am sure I can stop it if I wanted to... I have the ability to stop anything if I need to. I have fine from 4 20mg a day to 2 10mg a day already. I'm all honesty I can go further down to just 10mg easily.
Ok sure I can do that so currently I am doing 2iu hgh so bump it up to 4iu then?
you can try 4ius of hgh can help
Cool! That helps narrow down the possibilities. Ideally, imo, removing the cause of poor sleep will net much better results than adding something to counteract the cause.
update us later
Hmmmm. Has this inability to stay asleep been a lifelong or long term issue? Is it recent?
I totally agree with Todd on finding the root problem and solve it but you got to try things to see if they work as well. It has become a trial and error for me to solve my problems.tried glycine on top of magnesium glycinate and it didn't do anything for me. I ended up figuring out for my sleep problems was lack of carbs at dinner. I only eat 2 meals typically due to my work. I eat a big breakfast and had my carbs then. Then at night I typically just ate a pound of meat. Sleep got shitty. I tried different stuff kept studying on cause and solutions. Finally recently tried adding carbs at dinner and bingo! Now I been sleeping again my 8-9 hours with amazing dreams. Same issue with my blood pressure. It was going high every afternoon from 130/80 in the am then 150-170/90 pm. Kept trying different meds supplements. I even told the doctor if it could be caffeine he even said it shouldn't jack it up that high. Sure enough I finally said fuck it I am going to go off caffeine and see what happens. I did a taper down weekly to try and curb side effects like headaches. I could actually see my blood pressure curve go down each week along with my caffeine reduction. Now I am completely caffeine free. I only drink water or water with my supplements and protein. I will say that coming off caffeine did help my sleep temporarily but then had issues again and that's when I figured out the carb issue. I will say caffeine has been the hardest drug to come off in my entire life and I use to abuse alcohol and drugs in my 20's- about 40. Nothing compared to coming off pot, coke, meth, or pills like that did for me. Just keep trying one thing at a time or elimination one thing at a time until you narrow down the issue. Keep studying on your own you have to handle your own health. Best advice I can give you. Good luck on your journey because that sleep is the best thing.
If you know this about yourself and your body then please do. Lowest effective dose on any Rx med is advisable especially since we're trying to get you to sleep. Let's try and mitigate sleep issues by cutting out any unnecessary stimulants.
Great read bro, well said.
Sleep last night looks decent. What happened on Tuesday night that caused the blip of better sleep?
I had my 13 month old daughter Friday they Monday, man she tired me out like none other plus when she is here I barely sleep at night just so I can be up in jiffy to changed her diapers or get her a bottle in middle of the night. So when she v left Monday evening I slept good that night.
Bro I have 4 amazing children of my own and they're my best friends (older now) and 3 younger stepkids so this now makes total sense to me about the Tuesday sleep stats LMAO!!
Progressing nicely bro. Once you're back to full form it will only get better and better. And I have that loose skin too lower belly fat, don't worry we can deal with that too.
Great update brother. Working so hard there to keep things on track, many wouldn't, bravo
You're working really hard brother and it shows!
Thank you. Yea being very careful with all my.lifts. no ego lifting, letting my body drive the volume of the weights (usually 60% of my max lift). Keeping everything in comfort zone but just breaking the upper body in slowly after a gap of 2 months. Will keep it at around this for next one month then next month will move 80% of my max for the month and then slowly work towards max capacity.
Smart move, try and overtax your lagging bicep but controlled and avoid injury. Nice genetics on the bicep split I don't get to see that often at all!!
looks nice how much rice?
2 cup cooked but was barely able.to eat half of it
