Progress Report: Nazi Vegans, more weakness, and the Ketogenic Lifestyle

So I've recently begun taking flaxseed oil gel capsules.  I got the idea from this Nazi vegan:




It's amazing how the Nazi vegans are so arrogant about how they're more healthy than meat eaters yet they have a ten year life expectancy deficit compared to meat eaters.

The Nazi vegan in the video recommends mixing in flaxseed flour into your recipes to help with heart health.  But I just take a flaxseed oil gel capsule which I found at a local grocery store chain.

The reason I stopped taking fish oil was the fish burps that accompany taking it. But the flaxseed oil gel capsules have no adverse reactions like that and they're pretty much tasteless.  Plus they have almost double the concentration of omega 3 fatty acids that fish oil gel capsules have.


The Ketogenic Lifestyle

I've been on this lifestyle for over a month now. The biggest hurdle in trying to live this lifestyle is relearning how to eat.

I wake-up and for breakfast I eat chicken breast lathered with coconut oil. I'll also eat ten slices of bacon and douse that with coconut oil.

The coconut oil is pretty much tasteless except for a subtle lingering after taste of coconut. I got the coconut oil from Trader Joe's, a grocery store that specializes in hard to find eclectic items.  The oil is just a way to add more fat to my diet and it helps me to have stabilized energy levels while feeling satiated until my next meal.  Also because I have a digestive allergy to butter because I'm lactose intolerant, the coconut oil is a very good substitute that doesn't mess up my stomach and intestines the way butter does.

For my supplementation, I take the flaxseed oil gel capsule, a multivitamin fortified with iron, and a magnesium 500mg pill.  I'll also eyeball out two teaspoons of Lite Salt into the palm of my hand, and I'll shoot it into my mouth. Then I'll follow that with two glasses of water while my eyes tear and my mouth gets sucked into the back of my head.  This torture is endured to up my potassium and sodium intake for the day which you'll have to do unless you want your heart to feel like it's exploding out of your chest.

For an afternoon snack I'll go to Walgreen's or a grocery store and buy a salami meat tube.  Any meat will do as long as it has a 2 to 1 fat to protein ratio.  2 grams of fat for 1 gram of protein for example.

Dinner is just a Subway Sandwich shop spinach salad loaded with gobs of oil, fatty meats, olives and pickles and a dash of tomatoes.

Of course now that I'm back to heavy lifting again, I have to cycle in lean animal proteins like chicken to refill glycogen reserves that were depleted during my training session.



A Lesson in Weakness

Here are my numbers.

Gym Tuesday 12:30 12/16/2014
Conventional deadlift 1"deficit 315-1
Stiff legged deadlift  1" deficit  315-1
Life fitness cable row machine 260-1
Rack pull mixed grip 415-1, 415-0
Technogym leg press machine 320-1

These are the first deadlifts I've done in almost four months.   I switched to using a mixed grip. Before I used lifting straps but I'm going to try and hold out by just using my hands before I go back to the straps.

My pre workout meal of two Cliff oatmeal bars was not enough to carry me to my last sets of exercises, so I'm going to eat one or two more Cliff oatmeal bars before I do another deadlift and legs training session to keep my energy levels up.
