It's not the most optimal or efficient way to go about things if you actually want to feel full of energy, but it's certainly nothing like some people insist in that you're barely able to function and you feel like shit. Yeah, maybe for the first day or two if you've gone from 250g carbs a day to under 100g....but it's nothing like I keep reading some people suggest.

Like you said Mitch, each to their own. Everyone's body is different. I know for sure that I'd feel like ratshit if I ate half the stuff Birds has sent me in snapchats occasionally, lol....but it works for him (arguably, right Leesh? :P).

Not good :( fingers crossed there's obvious issues with easy enough fixes!

I should try get my chiro to email me a copy of my Xrays from the other day....shit's pretty amusing once you overlay the lines showing you how my spine is supposed to be aligned lol. Neck is dead straight, lumbar/sacrum is pretty much straight, and thoracic is hilario messy

Yes function.. Just for me but ultra low carbs you will function but only progression will be weight loss not muscle gain, maybe a small amount.

Its about finding the balance.

With ultra low carbs you do need refeed days or your body will get use to low carbs and will serve no benifit. I had to have 2 refeed days a week. But my training is pretty intense and i tend to train heavy even when cutting.

The low carb thing just works for me, might not work for other people, diet is an individual thing. I had rice and tuna for dinner last night as it's one of my favorite meals and I haven't had it for months.

Yesterday's macro breakdown according to mfp was 132g fats 122g carbs 340g protein, carbs a little higher than usual because of rice. Fats make up for lower carbs

Edit: lifts are coming along just fine. I am in no way opposed to carbs and will eat them, I just have to watch when for most types.

I'd say the whole 'low carb' thing is a case of 'don't knock it til you try it'. And by try it, I mean more than 1 or 2 days in a row. At least a week.

Xray won't show anything useful for you leesh.

Yeah you'll have a bend in your spine or a tilt in your hips but that doesn't tell you anything and it can't be fixed now that you're an adult.

MRI

or possibly a CT scan.

I think you can get a GP to request a CT scan and it will be free.

MRI will cost cash

GP said do X-ray, he was happy to do a CT after that I think, he just wanted to rule out bones which is fair enough I guess...all bulk billed

Yeah CT is free here, MRI is a few hundred

X-ray was helpful, showed narrowing of L5/S1 intervertebral disc space. Having a ct scan on Tuesday to investigate this area further. Also seeing a sports physio recommended by the doctor. I'm feeling more positive that I can receive the correct treatment without surgery to be pain free again, fingers crossed :)

Squatted again last night. First time in months due to injury. Couple of things.

1. Could not get a comfortable position. Felt back pain, knee pain and groin pain. Didn't matter how i positioned myself

2. Knees were straining to pull inwards and buckle

3. Couldn't lift remotely heavy at all

4. No stamina in the sets either

Wasn't much fun and was disappointed in myself but will have to pick myself up and wait for the next session

That^ plus other mobility exercises. Your flexibility and mobility has gone to shit, cns doesn't trust your limbs and your muscles are probably well shortened / stiff.

Haven't tried holding the squat position other than to push my knees out and stretch. Might give it ago.

Did a few mobility exercises before the session pluss some light cardio to warm up. Sucks that flexibility has always been a weak point for me ever since i gave up the combat sports.

Guess like a lot of things it will take time to perform again

Your high protein is making up for the lack of carbs, the fat isn't that high.

While I'm firmly against the ridiculous overblown FAD (which it's nothing more than) against gluten we're seeing in recent years, and a firm believer that unless you've been diagnosed with gluten intolerance cutting it out is completely unnecessary and you're a FOTM hipster top bloke, I will attest that even though I don't have any medical intolerance to gluten, I still get a bit of bloating from eating wheat based products particularly of the refined-to-all-f**k variety like bleached white flour. That being said, this bloating is likely nothing to do with gluten. or very little, and is just minor irritation from excessive amounts of fluids being pulled through my GI tract (this is just speculation though).

EDIT: LOL I forgot about the mad word filters on SAU.

Same bloke that did the original study, saying non celiac gluten intolerance exists, had a think about things over a few years and decided to conduct another more controlled study.

Alas, all the band wagon people dismissed it, even though it was the same guy.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
