I am on the verge

It is supposed to help A1C. But some people say no.

Also, it is supposed to mess with testostrone. Hmm

I owe it to myself to sculpt the best engine I can build.

My metabolism is broken.

My insulin resistance is broken

I have a carbohydrate allergy.

HOMA-IR: I am severely insulin resistant

This is why I am not loosing weight.

I need to get this down.

fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5

Mitochondria

Insulin resistance is reducing biogenesis of mitochondria. And it’s efficiency.

• Only One Day Per Week for Hard Level!!!
• It’s basically sprints

• The “float” is not stopping, but half marathon pace.

• It’s not about calorie
• Calorie is determined by Bomb Calorimeter
• This is a MEASURE OF HEAT
• But the BODY is not a MEASURE OF HEAT

• We BURN inside MITOCHONDRIA.
• Burn that FOOD to generate ATP

• Glucose STIMULATES mitochondria to work better: AMP kinese HADH hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase

• Fructose INHIBITS mitochondria: AMP, CPT1, and another one.

• So – FRUCTOSE has CALORIES (so yea, it can burn and raise the temperature of water) BUT it actually INHIBITS Mitochondria.
• This is the key point about why all calories are not the same!

• Think in terms of Macros, and not in Calories

• Insulin blocks Leptin.
• Leptin controls set point

A useful calculator? https://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/magic-mile/

Some numbers

Left is target pace. Right is Run and Walk seconds

9:30-10:45 90/30 or 60/20 or 45/15 or 60/30 or 40/20

10:45-12:15 60/30 or 40/20 or 30/15 or 30/30 or 20/20

12:15-14:30 30/30 or 20/20 or 15/15

14:30-15:45 15/30

15:45-17:00 10/30

17:00-18:30 8/30 or 5/25 or 10/30

18:30-20:00 5/30 or 5/25 or 4/30

Principles behind Run Walk Run:

• Continuous use of a muscle will result in quicker fatigue

• The longer the run segment, the more fatigue

• Run Walk Run is a form of interval training

• Conservation of resources

• Quicker recovery

• Less stress on the “weak links”

• Ability to enjoy endorphins

• Reduce core body temperature

How to determine the RATIO

• Workouts are to gain muscle
• Cardio is for heart and lungs
• Food is to burn fat
• Combine all three

• High protein and focus on recomposition
• Mind muscle connection for better development
• Water before coffee
• First coffee after 3 hours

• Breath through the nose. Helps Nitric Oxide. Mouth benefits
• Don’t breathe through mouth

• Walk a lot. Walk during the work day.

• 3-2-1 method to go to sleep: Food 3 hours, liquid 2 hours, screens 1 hour

• Fiction in the night. Non-fiction in the day

Preplanning the meals

You know what you will eat over the next week. Maybe you can use this blog as a scratch space.

I am trying something now. A recomposition of the body.

The mantra has been: “recompose the body by recomposing the food”

I am trying to get 180ish grams of protein a day. I have never done this before in my life, I don’t think so. So this is something truly novel .

I am not seeing a movement on the scale.

I have started to add strength training. Legit stuff.

The only real thing I saw in this is about “brain keeping track of fat”
