i see. it is called HIIT these days, for me its cardio.
in that way you are right, pure (poor) cardio is not helpfull.

Day 9
Woke up at a glucose of 90 and ketones of 0.4
Also … my wife’s love in the form of homemade ghee cooling in a glass pot of gold
She complains about my eating and lifting but she’s made of love
I am guessing you enjoy the 2 hour workout? I think that is awesome you figured out something that works well for you.
I am rather time-poor right now so lifting is just more efficient for me and I enjoy it way more.
beautiful! I bet she is happy you are looking to be around so much longer due to your health improvements as well.
Not so sure sometimes…
I’m not “normal” from her view (I call normal boring)… I ask her to help me with my ice baths & she can’t stop laughing at my shivering breathing exercises and wants to take pictures instead!
I asked her to cook with duck tallow and she did it once… we compromised with DIY ghee.
Life isn’t fun without a little playful stress… maybe
I know! It is an awesome sashimi bar with great options. The red snapper they had melted in your mouth and the mackerel (usually the fishiest) was so fresh my daughter went for seconds.
They make nice rolls and they have other foods & deserts but I have no interest.
The only “dalliance” was the salmon roe sushi where I didn’t eat the rice, the oyster in a baked shell of mayo and cheese, the lamb chops, and a raw oyster. The rest were either sashimi fish or barely seared tuna.
Wow, that’s an awesome sashimi buffet! You’re making me want to plan a trip to Dallas just to check that out. I mean, it was already on my bucket list for the barbecue, but this adds yet another strong reason to go.
data update… glucose constantly high and ketones low
and GKIs have rarely been under 3
and weight is increasing again
and since I’m counting macros to share:
After 9 days, I’m at a net surplus of +1733 calories (accounting for the latest RMR test).
Assuming all that surplus goes to fat, that’s 193g of fat = 0.4lbs. Clearly super simplified and erroneous but I wanted to see how the 4lbs of weight gain “could” be aligned with my surplus. It doesn’t… so a lot of water and food are probably still the drivers.
So… this week I plan to eat to satiety and not let my desire for meat to run away with me.
Day 10.
I am getting a little concerned now… my fasted morning glucose was 99 and ketones of 0.3
Last night ended at 90G, 0.4K and that was hours after dinner.
Before dinner: 88G, 0.4K
After dinner: 84G, 1.1K
So after eating, glucose goes up slightly and ketones go way up. Then returns to low ketones over the evening. And then overnight, glucose spikes again and ketones fall…
I haven’t seen fasted morning glucose this high in months… so a correction is in order
So lost 1.2lbs overnight… not attributing any specific meaning to it. Just an observation of water and food flux.
