what are your carb/protein/fat ratios ?I eat 2kg of purple sweet potato and snack on fruits (mostly pineapple/tomatoes) and juice (usually cranberry juice/coconut water) through the day. Total carbs come to 600-700g/day, which is a lot but I tend to burn through them pretty quickly - I know this because I test my blood glucose regularly. I think the avoidance of dietary fats while I eat/digest carbohydrates allows me to eat quite a lot without putting on excess weight (look into the randle cycle). I eat carbs during the day while insulin sensitivity is high. And fats four hours after my last carbohydrate meal, which usually means in the night.
I feel great and I’m never hungry. Because I eat large amounts of micronutrient dense carbs I can avoid having to rely on supplements. I have 3-4 solid bowel movements a day. Energy is high. Body temp is high, my girlfriend often refers to me as a heater.
Right now approx.what are your carb/protein/fat ratios ?
Cranberry juice is high in vitamin e and low in PUFA - a rare combination." snack on fruits (mostly pineapple/tomatoes) and juice (usually cranberry juice/coconut water)"
Can I ask why you snack on pineapple/tomatoes and drink cranberry?
I am assuming the coconut water is for the potassium?
Interesting that you are protein back loading kind of (i assume that 8pm meal is your largest in terms of protein) and front loading carbs.22
So a usual day might go like this:
7AM - pea protein in cranberry juice + snack on fruits
8:30 - potato, spinach, tomato paste + coconut water
10AM - potato, sea bass
12PM - fruits + coconut water
4+ hour fast
4:30PM - shellfish
8:00PM - grass fed red meat
9:00PM - 90% dark chocolate
I’m not too worried about it. I’m plenty androgenic; widows peak, hairy torso, thick facial hair, insatiable libido, deep voice.. I’m running out of androgenic traits, I think the only one I lack is acne/oily skin which cleared up after I quit dairy.@olive
I have a few questions, if you don't mind:
-Are you worried about the anti-androgenic effects of lycopene from tomatoes?
-Have you tried other diets? If so, what were the macro ratios, calories and foods? I assume they didn't work out, or were inferior in some way.
Insulin sensitivity is highest in the AM. We should eat according the the circadian rhythm, so carbs in the AM is preferable.Interesting that you are protein back loading kind of (i assume that 8pm meal is your largest in terms of protein) and front loading carbs.
Did you try eating more protein in the AM and more carbs in PM ?
Intesting olive, might have to try that sometime, though I don't have a problem with dairyI’m not too worried about it.

I’ve tried other diets. I did the chicken, rice, brocolli, protein powder bodybuilder diet for a while. Then typical peat; red meat, fruit juice, broth, dairy diet for a while. Both left me feeling bad for different reasons. I felt stronger on Peat but the subsequent weight gain, insulin resistance and laboured breathing quickly became an issue. Also, all the diary caused acne as I described above.
My skin, hair, mood, bowel movements and digestion are far better now then ever before on any other diet.

RP in an interview a few days ago said he gets over half his daily calories from fruit, which is about 1500 calories from sucrose.
Fruits are expensive and less micronutrient dense as potatoes calorie:calorie.@olive what is the reason for making your carbs from potatoes rather than fruit? Blood sugar?
Try the sweet kind, peel carefully, cook thoroughly and salt heavily.I tried introducing potatoes into my diet but I got endotoxin problems within just a few days, so looks like I'm going to have to stick to getting the majority of my carbs from OJ.
Fructose can be a burden on the liver if liver glycogen is already full, so I like to strategically time fructose consumption upon waking (when liver glycogen is low) and post exercise. Outside of those windows fructose is best snacked on in small quantities as to not over stress the liver - in my opinion.

That’s me - about 12 months ago. I look pretty much the same now but my weight is up 1-2kg and my body fat is down enough to see some veins popping up through my lower abs.
Fats come from coconut oil, eggs, red meat, cocoa and occasionally olive oil if I make a salad or pesto sauce. 20-40g a day.
I eat at least 20g of protein 4 times a day, at least three hours apart in order to spike muscle protein synthesis - based on this study: Timing and distribution of protein ingestion during prolonged recovery from resistance exercise alters myofibrillar protein synthesis. - PubMed - NCBI
So a usual day might go like this:
7AM - pea protein in cranberry juice + snack on fruits
8:30 - potato, spinach, tomato paste + coconut water
10AM - potato, sea bass
12PM - fruits + coconut water

Purple sweet potato has no real benefit over the normal orange sweet potato as far as I know but I prefer the taste and texture. But sweet potato is undoubtedly superior to normal white potatoes. Sweet potatoes are not part of the nightshade family and do not have issues with solanine - which becomes an issue pretty quickly if one wanted to consume a large portion of their calories from potatoes like I do.
I supplement with calcium carbonate and glycine with each protein meal.
Did you ever solve the starch problem? It's killing me man@TNT
Depends on what you got going on in your gut. I cant eat a single sweet potato or yam without blowing up like a balloon and passing enough gas to put a cow to shame. I also get massive joint pain all throughout my spine. On the flip side I can drink 300-400g of sugar from fruit juice (grape, pineapple) without a problem.
I have done a few stool tests and each time my gut comes back positive with +4 klebsiella growth. Klebsiella is a starch fermenter, a known opportunistic pathogen and the suspected cause of both rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
Its not the type of carbs you eat per say, atleast if your choosing between fruit and tubers, its the bacteria you house in your gut.
