I now have a 14" neck. It was 15.5" when I started. Just thought that was interesting.

Down 10% body fat! 9.4% to go to reach my goal of 25%!

You could just avoid the hassle altogether and stop being a parasitic scavenger eating dead animal flesh.

See those magpie's and turkey vultures nibbling on that hunk of roadkill? That's fresher meat than what you are grilling on the BBQ this week.

Recent studies recommend non-alcoholic beer.

Alcohol reduces testosterone production and hops is a natural estrogenic.

Quote:

Alcohol in general, especially when it is abused, increases estrogen levels and decreases testosterone
Quote:

Men's sexual behaviors can be affected dramatically by alcohol. Both chronic and acute alcohol consumption have been shown in most [3][4][5] (but not all[6]) studies to inhibit testosterone production in the testes. This is believed to be caused by the metabolism of alcohol reducing the NAD+/NADH ratio both in the liver and the testes; since the synthesis of testosterone requires NAD+, this tends to reduce testosterone production.[7][8]

As testosterone is critical for libido and physical arousal, alcohol tends to have deleterious effects on male sexual performance. Studies have been conducted that indicate increasing levels of alcohol intoxication produce a significant degradation in male masturbatory effectiveness (MME). This degradation was measured by measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and ejaculation latency.[9] Alcohol intoxication can decrease sexual arousal, decrease pleasureability and intensity of orgasm, and increase difficulty in attaining orgasm
Quote:

Alcohol use affects all three parts of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, a system of endocrine glands and hormones involved in male reproduction. Alcohol use is associated with low testosterone and altered levels of additional reproductive hormones
Quote:

Hops contain a substance called 8-prenylnaringenin which acts as a phytoestrogen, mimicking the effects of natural estrogen in the body. Being sedative, hops may actually help with insomnia. But for a male, the combination of “sedation” and “high levels of estrogen” are deadly, leading to low sex drive, lower energy, man boobs, and abdominal fat.

For a while now, I've found the consumption of milk somewhat repugnant.

I mean, you are drinking cow tit juice.

Why in the **** would someone drink milk from a cow's tit?

Would you drink a dog's milk?

If no, what's the difference between drinking milk from a cow tit versus a dog tit?

You've done an amazing job. When you reach your fitness/health goal, immediately switch what your goal is to be, as in make your goal to MAINTAIN what you have worked so hard to accomplish. That's where I ****ed up hard. I lost all that weight, looked good and felt good, then was all "Welp, that's over now that I reached my goals", and returned to being a fat bastard for no good reason.

Learn from my mistakes.

That doesn't sound like a very inspiring or motivating goal to me.

Jesus Christ. Alcohol does not lower testosterone by a significant amount unless you habitually drink a LOT of it.

It can raise it:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12711931

It can stay the same:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10642377

It can lower it slightly: (OMG 6.8%!!!)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15166654

It can lower it by even more:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2128439

But all of these effects are transient. It's just not that big of a deal. Soy can be far more estrogenic.

Fat content, solid content, and ease of milking. Not all mammal milk is the same. Shocking. Cow milk is incredibly similar to human milk and it's easy to work with to make dairy products. Not true of all mammals.

So yeah. That's why we don't drink dog milk.

Tried the whole vegan thing. Lasted 3 days. The only way I can see myself staying with it is if I was rich like Ellen Degeneres and Woody Harrelson.

You know they eat great vegan shit with those personal chefs and high priced foods.

Oh, and **** Tofu. That shit was awful.

What high priced foods?

Lentils, beans, quinoa, mushrooms, etc. are substantially cheaper than their animal protein equivalents.

And if you are cutting out all of the dairy products, processed garbage foods, etc., your basket is going to be clean and much less expensive.

And I see you ran into the typical "**** ****ing Tofu" problem that the vast majority of vegan noobs run into.

Think of it as a blank slate, a clean palate for your creative culinary expression of the moment. There is so much you can do with it.

And, to be honest, I don't eat tofu that much. I think that there are many more protein alternatives available.

Eating vegan well requires a bit more creativity, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy and the taste, variety and quality of your food will be excellent. Case in point, I made some mother ****ing awesome eggplant sammiches today for lunch. Marinated the peeled and sliced eggplant in white wine, white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian spices and then dredged them in seasoned (salt, pepper, onion powder, a little paprika) flour, into a soy milk & green Tabasco wash, then coated in Panko. Fried them in olive oil over medium heat.

Dressed some ciabatta rolls with a white bean and garlic hummus, topped the eggplant with sautéed red peppers and onions, put on a slice of vegan mozzarella cheese, melted the cheese in the oven, then added sliced tomatoes and spring mix.

Easy as pie, and they were freaking terrific.

You should have PM'd me when you decided to hit the vegan cleanse. I would have happily given you some tips and pointers to help guide you on the path towards enlightenment and ascension.

Not sure if serious but eating paleo means you are eating only certain kinds of food, kind of like vegetarians and vegans. And you don't see them making exceptions. If a vegetarian did make an exception, like eating chicken, well then they really aren't a vegetarian.
