@metalfreak
You know what, prolly we'll run on Friday instead depending on how my body's recuperating. Am having slight diarrhea & indigestion (yesterday's salad n mashed potato came out this morning) and feeling like crap - classic signs of overtraining I think I'm gonna have to settle with last week's 24k as my last long run and do mid-distance till the marathon day. Not good.

Yea will rub

Sometimes may be its all publicity and media. =P She might be whacking some fat loss pills e.g Lipo 6 without us knowing it HAHAHA

Weight taken yesterday morning=90.8 kgs,pretty much static since last week.

Need more cardio!

Mine also hanging static around 81kg.

Last night, my pacing was not good. Got distracted by pretty girls but they were rude anyways.

So I started jogging seriously after 30 mins on the treadmill.

I wrote an article about Leptin that you guys may be interested in.

If you guys have any questions, post it in the blog and I'll work at answering them. Anybody gonna try it btw?

urgh, kirk, I just watched your cricket cooking 101 LOL

Good info, thanks for sharing.

pizzaboy, I think that is probably the tip of the iceberg. You may need to write more rather than just a one-side view.

Which is exactly what I'm doing now. Studying more about this. Apparently, this hormone is quite easy for most people to take advantage of but, those that have always been morbidly obese, might not be able to take advantage of this because it's not because of the Leptin. It's because of their bodies insensitivity to Leptin. So despite Leptin overflowing everywhere in their bodies, their brains cannot identify Leptin and continue to add fat, thinking it's in a self-defense, hunger mode.

Found this pic in one of the fitness website and my body is exactly like the one in the pic. I'm quite happy with my body now but I think I'm packing on muscles because my weight loss is 0. But instead the weight remains the same and my body fat percentage dropped

Pai seh post own pic.

Time to cut more fat

You also would know by now that this hormone was only recently actively research i.e. last 90s. So limited data around but the body builders really love this theory.

It's the theory that made Joel Marion his money when he published a book called "Cheat to Eat" and open up his website on "Cheat to Eat".

You may also need to think back a bit more about how to incorporate leptin and what are their limitations / downside of carrying out such a diet a bit more. Especially if it also triggers the body immune system to go out of sync.

woo...congrats

alar..post lar picture...like the one u found. crop the head section off. No worries. Its not like u have to prove anything. But if u really have that body... nice ada abs.

mine is work in progress


Nevertheless, good job

Yeah I stumbled upon his site as well, after a little more reading about Leptin. I'm just wondering if it'll cause some crazy response to the insulin when you go back to a normal diet and then cause you to store major fat. My dad's just stopped this diet (he was only on it for 2 weeks) and did lose some fat somewhat (perhaps it could be his stretching and walking) but now that he's stopped it, I'm thinking he might gain it back and even more.

I think it's no harm trying though. Skip La Cour's carbohydrate cycling, seems to have a consistency with the theory albeit it's more forgiving on the carbohydrates. 3 days of greens, 3 days of starchy carbs which I think Asians would probably prefer to follow.

Then again, I'm not one that bothers about excessive science, for as long it works and the essential numbers are consistent, then I don't want to be bogged with excessive analysis.

Hmm..if you want to do testing and all, you may need to make a matrix table to get an overview of the effects. I know that you think that this is analysis by paralysis yet it's a common tool for technical and business as well.

Do a comparison table to compare and get a bigger overview. I did one briefly because it was very hard to always remember what I had read or what assumptions that I had to rethink. Unfortunately, I threw the paper away.

It's tough work in the beginning but afterwards, it's easier. Plus, you are also more clear on what you know and what you don't.

It is true that too much analysis will paralyzed you. But not enough analysis will be equally detrimental.

Having said that, there is a saying about engineers/science ppl : we are too detailed.

morning all....
still feel the ankle pain since Monday's workout, plus heavily fast-walk at klia (change gate from A9 to B11 punya pasal).
just last nite heard about RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). doing the R, I and C seem help a bit.

pizzaboy,
u trying the leptin injection or following the tips?:

@myremi
you're in engineering? that explains A LOT!

Day 3 of rest and I'm restless (heh). @metalfreak, no running today. I promise we'll run tomorrow after work so bring ur running attire

Noted

I also tak bawa running attire today. planning to rest Tired. I gotta sleep earlier haha

By the way Syd, is it safe ah? to park at the park...i mean..if we're running till late? =P

@metalfreak
not going to do long run. prolly 2hr max. should be safe

That's the problem. I need test subjects. However, nobody thinks it's possible, gives excuses and a crap load of bullshit.
I'm trying to work with a lecturer from UKM but her subjects can't do it either. They're relying on exercise which is excellent, but I still want to know the results out of this Leptin thing.


Am I trying that? I'm 176CM and I weigh 79KG on a good day or 78.5 on an average day. I barely need that.
My 170GMS of protein a day diet doesn't seem to be working. Time to up it to 250gms and up my carbs to 355gms. The carbs are easy as hell to hit.....it's the protein I'm worried about. Or I could drop my protein to 220 and up carbs to 400. Yeah that sounds easier. Okay I'm talking nonsense again.

If I can survive 2 hours without cramps, I'll be grateful.
