I don't pick a particular day to cheat because I know that, inevitably, there are going to be some random days when I'll want to (donuts at work, wife wants to go out, etc).

If I get too crazy with low quality carbs I have that issue.

Like cookies
And chips
And empanadas
And m&ms
And pizza
And lots of rum?

Do you think that night have had something to do with it?

The rum doesn't have carbs unless you're mixing it with carbs. Drink away.

Cut carbs for a few days and you will be pissing it out like a racehorse.

Of what you listed chips are only thing I have to keep control on.

The rest I feel fine after consuming.

I guess alcohol would be the one thing I monitor somewhat closely. I only drink when I have a scheduled rest day the next day.

Yeah, but that's not subq water you're peeing out. It's water that was bound to glycogen in your muscles. That's why people start keto and lose a bunch of weight right away. It's depleted muscles and that's not really a good thing.

Carbs are super important for muscle/strength building. Most people do get enough 'clean' carbs.

mmmm 12oz burger and 2 cups cooked rice.

Thinking about picking up some BPC-157 to see if it helps with some nagging tendon issues.

Anyone else have any experience with it? Or TB-500?

I used BPC for a calf strain. I still have 8 vials of it left in the freezer.
I can't say whether it made a difference or not since I have no baseline to compare it to.

Lol.



I've started to gain a little weight; up to 176 now, from 172. Shirts are getting a little tight under the arms/across the chest. So are the sleeves.
