Dude, you have put in allot of work to get where you are. Looks good too. I have an update to my situation as well. Jjfatz42 nailed the diagnosis of fatty liver disease along with fenofibrate (high cholesterol medication) reeking havoc with my liver enzyme levels. Since I have stopped taking...

Well thank you. The pics are admittedly bad. That is the only full length mirror in the house and as you can see its narrow... and I am wide. :) Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

No worries Lee/Trevor. I know I have allot going on physically, but I also like having options further down the road. The info is appreciated, but at this point that is just what it is...information. I see a GI next week so I should know more about what is wrong internally and what path to...

I will confess, I had to look it up to see what an ECA stack is. :) Two questions though. 1. Would it be best to use this say... 30 minutes or so before a workout or like first thing in the morning? 2. I am reading conflicts on how much "A" some say the full 325 others go with 81? FWIW...

***WARNING*** VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! Well this is fat me... I hope y'all aren't scarred for life. - - - Updated - - - BWT, ignore the funky colors in the background. My wife has a grow light for her plants. I went to see my primary Dr yesterday and he wants to wait to get this...

Way to go man! You have made a total transformation. I did a ton of research over the weekend and I will be reading your link later today. I appreciate all the advice everyone has provided. Again, good job Jjfatz42! I hope to join you shortly. ;)

Thank you for your story! It does make me feel better knowing I am not alone. I did just get a surprise phone call from a Gastroenterologist. Apparently my liver functions are so high my Dr made the referral before he even saw me. What I was told on the phone is that my ALT is 152 (0-53...

Uh oh, I'm starting to become confused. From what I have read Keto diets have very low carbohydrates. What you are describing is NOT Keto, but what you think would work better for me. right? Do you, by chance, have any links to your diet plan for me to learn from?

I have read a couple more "Anabolic Diet" outlines and what they all seem to boil down to is the age old "Atkin's" diet so popular in the '90's. I have tried this in the past and have had good to great results. Of course I gained it back due to very bad lifestyle choices, but the fact is they...

Ok, I have taken some time to try and develop a diet that will be suited to my goals. I have found this page that seems to make sense to my feeble mind, but I would like to get a more experenced take before I start buying goods. Another update is that I had blood drawn yesterday and have an...

I don't have enough post to PM. Can I get a code?

Thanks to the cached versions in google I was able to view your links (without all your naughty images ;) ) and I have a couple of questions. According to MyTDEE.c*m I have a TDEE of 2866 and it recommends 1750-2550 depending on how aggressive I want to be. Do you know off the top of your head...

Hi Trevor, Thank you for the links, I will be looking at them later. Would you believe my employers proxy will not allow me to access it from here? They have it listed as "adult themed"! Just what kind of content do you have on that site!!! :) Not to worry though, your not alone. I can't...

Many thanks to all of you. Yeah, I feel pretty doomed. I know what needs to happen, but there are so many roads I could take. I do need a coach for diet, exercise, and lifestyle change. The last of which will be the hardest to conquer. I will look at podcast #30. I hope it covers diet...

Thank you for the comments! You are probably right. I love my doc, but I feel he is way to conservative (probably for good reason). When you say "radically alter" my diet do you have a particular plan in mind? As for hiring a personal trainer, I'm not sure. I live outside of Wilmington NC...
