@theriac33 Looks like it's only one cup of coffee for me this morning...
I appreciate the info

[Antifragile @resilient_roar]

@Advoking @OSHOMAH01 Thanks- where did you source? I've been considering myprotocol

[Antifragile @resilient_roar]

@OSHOMAH01 @Advoking Sleep for me as well. Cjc/ipa 3 hours after last meal, 1 hour before bed gave me the kind of sleep I forgot existed

Is it true?
Is it useful?
Is it the right time?

If not, silence might be wiser

@NocturnalNelly Tried it for the first time yesterday. Was able to sustain a higher intensity with less effort while my body was flooded with a level of endorphins that I haven't experienced in ages

[Antifragile @resilient_roar]

@DefianxtPEPs Tried it for the first time today.
Felt like old school hydroxycut

[Antifragile @resilient_roar]

@TheCryptoDaddi Slow titration.
Be patient.

@MagnusVigso Thank you sir

Plenty of times, your depression doesn't start in your head, it starts in your mitochondria.

A lot of mental illnesses can be viewed as a "brain energy crisis".

To demonstrate this point, here's for example an ancient enzyme system that not only controls your mood but is also key when it comes to resolving some side effects of psychiatric medications.

eating a tablespoon of raw honey before bed to improve sleep and burn more fat sounds like the opposite of everything the fitness industry teaches

until you read the research on liver glycogen, nocturnal growth hormone release, and why an empty liver at midnight sabotages both your sleep architecture and your fat burning simultaneously. then it sounds like the one thing your nighttime routine is missing

your brain consumes 10g of liver glycogen per night during sleep. your liver stores approximately 75-100g when full. if you haven't eaten for 4-5 hours before bed your liver glycogen is partially depleted. when liver glycogen runs out during sleep your brain triggers a cortisol release to convert muscle protein into glucose through gluconeogenesis. this cortisol spike at 2-3am is why millions of people wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep

one tablespoon of raw honey contains approximately 17g of glucose and fructose in a ratio that preferentially restocks liver glycogen. the fructose is directed to the liver specifically while the glucose enters the bloodstream to maintain stable blood sugar. the liver stays fueled. the cortisol spike doesn't fire. you sleep through the night

- growth hormone release during deep sleep is suppressed by cortisol. if the 2-3am cortisol spike fires because your liver ran out of glycogen, the GH pulse that was scheduled for that window gets cancelled. one tablespoon of honey prevents the cortisol spike which preserves the growth hormone pulse that burns fat, repairs muscle, and maintains youth
- raw honey specifically, not processed. raw honey contains enzymes, antioxidants, and prebiotics that processed honey has been heated out of. the pasteurization process destroys the bioactive compounds that provide benefits beyond the glycogen restocking
- the insulin response to one tablespoon of honey is minimal and actually beneficial at night because a small insulin elevation facilitates tryptophan uptake into the brain. tryptophan converts to serotonin which converts to melatonin. the honey indirectly supports melatonin production through this pathway
- the glycemic index of raw honey (58) is lower than white bread (75) and comparable to oatmeal (55). one tablespoon is 64 calories. the metabolic cost of the 2-3am cortisol spike that it prevents is far greater than 64 calories in terms of muscle preservation and fat metabolism
- athletes and bodybuilders who adopted the pre-bed honey protocol report deeper sleep, fewer nighttime wake-ups, and better morning recovery. the anecdotal reports align perfectly with the liver glycogen mechanism
- the fitness industry says "no carbs before bed." the biology says your liver needs glycogen to prevent a catabolic cortisol spike at 3am. one of these is a marketing slogan. the other is hepatic biochemistry. 64 calories of raw honey is the cheapest sleep and recovery upgrade available

the fitness industry's most repeated rule, no eating before bed, is costing you the growth hormone pulse that burns fat and builds muscle while you sleep. one tablespoon. 64 calories. the liver stays full. the cortisol stays down. the growth hormone flows. the sleep goes deeper. the results come faster

The ugly truth about why .5% of men make it and most live sh!t lives...

Is that you can't work or motivate yourself to success.

You have to create a metaphoric gun to your head with a very real mental bullet. An outcome that is up there with death.

Let me explain:

You won't see growth in your life... personal or in income... from motivation. You can't willpower it either.

You will see it when you've endured enough pain that you have truly had enough and refuse to stay as you are.

Most men only stop drinking when it makes their life unbearable.

Most men only choose to take big risks and become successful when they reach a breaking point from the work they are stuck in.

I for example NEVER wanted to be an entrepreneur growing up. It wasn't till I was 22, broke and stuck and hating my job, that I literally couldn't live any longer in my current situation. I didn't want to build a business. I had to. My life was unbearable due to where coasting had gotten me.

Only when "at any cost, I can't live like this anymore" becomes your motivation will you see huge growth.

The way to achieve this is by removing what numbs you. The things that stop you from looking in the mirror and going "what the fucking fuck."

The cheap dopamine, cheap thrills, booze/pot/junk that leave you foggy and unclear. The things that let you feel okay, despite your life being very much "not okay" if you actually look it in the eye.

Most men never do this. They never look at the things they CHOOSE accept about themselves. Poor health. Poor habits. Awful results in everything.

They just open a beer, load up a video game, scroll social media and bury it. This is because looking at how ugly you are is hard. The best way to ensure you stay metaphorically fat and disgusting is simply to not look in the mirror.

You have to look at who you truly are and feel such disgust that you will no longer tolerate staying where you are.

Without this you will only get temporary bursts. You will only make do on willpower, which is finite.

Something close to a gun to your head must be created in your mind. You must vehemently reject who and what you are to the point that it keeps you up at night.

Then you'll simply make whatever you want happen.

This is why most men never unlock their potential till they hit rock bottom. Most, despite WANTING success, are always in a numb state of "mostly" comfortable. The years then pass, they get old, nothing changes.

Whatever it takes to trigger this. Do it.

The answer isn't a self help book. It isn't researching and admiring other role models. It isn't envisioning a better life and mapping out daily steps to get there.

It's unbridled-unholy-rage as a result of where your life choices have gotten you.

This won't sustain you forever....But shit damn...It will guaranteed get you over the initial hurtle and to the point where "love of the game" will carry you.

Like I said before, it usually comes down to removing everything that is distracting and numbing you so that you are forced to look at yourself for who you truly are.

@ZssBecker This is solid!
