So I was a few months behind schedule, but I finally got my follow-up blood work done. Unfortunately, my testosterone went DOWN by 111 ng/dL (fro...
The only reason Tim used this protocol is because his testosterone was low, and he wanted to get it to above-average but still healthy levels. I'...
Re: Longest last mile ever
First, I think you're probably starting this too early. The Last Mile is for "the last 5-10 pounds that seem resistant to everything else", and by your calculations 200 pounds total min...
Good call! I'm not pulling out my food scale to measure each portion, I just bite off a little wedge every morning/night, but I'll try to make su...
+1 for Chipotle and Qdoba. Burrito bowl, and I like to do double-meat, plus veggies, beans and guacamole. No cheese, no sour cream, no tortilla,...
Re: OP shake with Coconut Milk
Is there a reason you're not following the diet specified in Occam's Protocol? The diet for Occam's includes starches: "The meal composition is nearly identical to the Slow-Carb Diet, as are ...
Re: Twelve days in.
As the book recommends, make sure you're getting plenty of beans to ensure you have sufficient calories. I had a friend who failed after a few weeks the first time he tried because he wound up ge...
Re: Vitamin-rich butter fat, PROTOCOL #1
The short answer is 500mg of butter and 1000mg of cod liver oil both in the morning and again at night. If you don't have a scale to weigh the butter, 500mg is about the size of a raisin or almon...
I just did my first day today, so I guess I'll get back to you in June!
Re: Sex Machine Protocol #1
Did you get blood tests for your testosterone levels? What were the numbers? If not, you should do a before/after with blood tests and I believe the book said to give it 3 months for the long-te...
Re: Is Mayo ok?
Doesn't Mayo violate Rule#1 from the book? "Avoid white carbohydrates (or anything that can be white). I know it's low on the glycemic index, but I couldn't find information about the insul...
Re: Help a college student...
A wise man once told me, while I was loving embracing a garbage can huddled in the corner of a party, that "No one can be a hero drinking 151 all night. Stick with tequila. No one will ever...
Definitely solid advice. I have a 1 Liter nalgene bottle that I try to fill 8 times a day, which comes out to around 2 Gallons. Just set a recur...
Wait, your gym has kettlebells, but they won't let you use them unless you're in a class? Even if they're just sitting on the floor collecting du...

Re: Day 3 Week 1, Initial Measurements and Photos
The chapter "Building The Perfect Posterior" is your friend. I'm a former collegiate hockey player, and while getting fitted for a suit once a guy commented on my "prodigious seat&...
Re: End of Week 2: Getting Frustrated and Depressed
Try drinking more water. I aim for 8 Liters (about 2 Gallons) a day. Get a 1 Liter Nalgene bottle and fill that sucker up every hour at work. Set an hourly alarm on your phone or calendar to en...
Totally. And given the variability of any 1 day's reading on the scale, I'd actually take an average of the past few days & compare that to the DE...
Re: Hot Wings?
I'm not sure those who said no to wings are correct. Bacon is an acceptable Slow Carb food. Get the official Slow Carb cookbook Tim is offering and check out the Bacon, Chicken, and Avocado Sala...
I'm from NYC too. I figured it would be easier for me to comment here, and any other NYC folks can do the same, that way we won't have to scan the...
Re: Body Fat Monitor
I have a Tanita scale that takes body fat % measurements, too. In the book Tim makes the point that "We just need to make sure that the method we choose is consistent." As long as you ...
Re: Finally found a DEXA scan & Bod Pod in NYC.
There's a place on 79th and Columbus called Doshi Diagnostics, you see they list DEXA on their site: http://www.doshidiagnostic.com/radiology/radiology.php I haven't tried it, when I went in to ...
