The diet of Metas - Ketogenic

[apeman]

Four beers is at least 400 calories. Alcohol is not great for cognitive function either. If you are drinking four beers after work every day, then you are training your brain to expect that kind of functioning after work each day.

A lot of the carbs in a beer, especially the alcohol, just go to fat.

Oh sure, I know this, not in denial.

The beers I drink are more than 100 calories each.

Basically it is my main source of calories I just realized

The true diet of metas -- just don't be an alcoholic

Refined sugar and alcohol are two things you might want to avoid.

Add to that trans fats..

All true, but I'm not fat



fat folks can't do this ^

But

I am 34, probably on the path to making myself fat eventually.

I didnt think you were fat. For you to drink that many beers every day, you have to be burning the fat out almost as fast as you put it in. It's more efficient to eat carbs lime oats.

But the other effects of alcohol and sugars are not good.

You said you feel wiped out when you get home. Is that not when you usually start drinking? Maybe you trained your brain to get like that in expectation of the alcohol?

One thing you could do.. instead of alcohol, drink a pre-workout about thirty minutes before you get home and want to practice your guitar. Do that for a while and you might train your brain to wake up for learning around that time each day.

That rock climbing is very cool, btw.

Thanks.

I actually very rarely start drinking right away (because I know damn well that would be fatal), I will work out or go to yoga usually.

But after work, and after working out, and after dinner -- I wish I had more to give at the end of the day.

And at least 1 day/week I am an unmotivated loser.

Gonna quit drinking during the work week for a bit and see how it goes.

One more climbing porn:

Look at Alex Honnold over here. Those pics are pretty sweet.

Looks like the forum is on track to losing 300 lbs of fat.

[apeman]

Thanks. I will resist the urge to bombard the forum with more pics attesting to my greatness.

Now, I am going to make a very serious attempt to not drink until at least the weekend, might even try keto (wife wants to do it).

Will report back
