Cannabis is a no go, even with a prescription/medical recomendation. I work in security, zero tolerance for all officers. No exceptions.

I take 2000mg of magnesium a day, along with 500mg potassium glutamate, could add a few more supplements in there as needed.

The title pretty much explains it all, but here goes anyway. Background: I have an unusual seizure condition, not epilepsy, that causes violent, persistent Tonic seizures in various parts of my body. I have had these since I was 8, accompanied by a constant headache that feels like a balloon...

Thanks for that calculator Halfwit. It put out the following: Your BMR is: 2252 Calories/Day Your TDEE is: 3640 Calories/Day (Active / Difficult) According to that, I'm eating around 30%+ under that. Do you think I should track my weight more frequently? Maybe there has been some weight loss...

I use a calculator to add in a rough estimate of how many calories I burn during weight lifting and tack that into MyFitnessPal. I also get 1-2 hours of straight up cardio at work(foot patrol/interior building patrol/perimeter patrol), so thats also added into MyFitnessPal. So, exercise burns...

Im eating between 2400 and 2700 calories a day. TDEE has alway been high, around 2200-2400 when im on bed rest. I've complained to plenty of nurses in post op about not getting enough to eat. Add in activity and i need 2500+ to maintain my energy levels. Its taken over a decade at around...

Doing well with the Keto diet, even through Thanksgiving. No appreciable weight loss yet, too early to tell, and I've kinda locked my scale in a cabinet until Jan 1. The diarrhea has stopped, but I'm ripping through over a gallon of water every day still. Loving the bench I bought, definitely...

The trouble with headaches is it is very easy to think its something HUGE, when its fairly minor. Keep that in mind as I run down the list of what could be going on. Highest probability: Tension Headache, likely caused by something along your neck/head. Test the ligaments and muscles with a...

Blood contains more than just red blood cells though. Sure, for a few hours after donating blood your BP will be lower, maybe a day, tops. Doctors once tried this with me, it got old very fast. The body compensates for the blood loss by increasing production of blood plasma and the various...

My full name is Jean Luc, shortened to Luc because my twin brother(fraternal) is Jean Paul, and people kept getting us confused in school with all the "Jean's". 5th grade teacher changed it to "Luke" and it stuck. The mad part I was always making things, and since i also had a million visits...

Sure. Supplements: 3mg melatonin 300mg vitamin C 500mg potassium glutamate 2000mg magnesium Breakfast yesturday was 4 eggs, hard poached, some onions, 1oz sharp cheddar cheese and an apple. Lunch yesturday was 8oz of chicken and around 3-4oz of vegetables(onion, asparagus, celery). Dinner was...

On joining a gym: With Black Friday coming up, and after reviewing what gyms there are, I've decided maybe getting my own setup is best. It would likely be cheaper in the long run too, with deals on Black Friday, i can get a bench and weights for around 90$, and all plates are 25% off. If i...

Not constipation, the other end of the spectrum. Spending 15-20 min on the toilet a few times a day is starting to get noticed at work. Im up to almost a gallon of water a day just trying to stay hydrated, whereas previously I'd be fine one 1 or 2 glasses a day. Always been a bit of a camel...

Barely managed to fit in a workout last night, had an incident at work(ugh), but I did monday from the JEFIT Beginner Routine. Mega suggested I start a Ketogenic diet, so I started on saturday; chicken, vegetables and eggs, with a little bit of fruit(2 apples/day). Not sure if this is a common...

jn.nutrition.org/content/early/2012/05/02/jn.111.149575.full.pdf Took some digging, remembered it from a while back. Final conclusion is preference for sugar/sweet develop while young, but context is very important for each subject. Probably one of the reasons studies on this subject are so...
