Bio Hacking, Sleep, Red Meat and Red Wine
Here it is, 4:12 a.m. CST and I have been awake since about 11:30 last night. Tried to go back to sleep but for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about intermittent fasting. Also, this whole Bio-Hacking concept really intrigues me, as does just about everything that Dave Asprey talks about. One thing that I am going to experiment with a bit is the Carb Refeed. I have been eating low carb (under 60 grams or so each day) for the last 3.5 months and have gotten to about 8% body fat. This is just an estimate, and I could very likely be slightly off. My abs are completely visible and I now have many palpable veins in my hips and entire body.
I recently started a new schedule at work and have been playing with an adjusted eating window as well. Although I haven't been in the gym this week (yet), I feel like these recent changes are definitely helping with continuing the fat loss. Last night Glory and I had an awesome steak dinner and I ate a medium sized sweet potato (so good!)
With the exception of an organic gala apple about once a week, my only other major carb source have been grapefruits. I am going to try to work in a higher carb day once a week or so, depending on how I feel tomorrow after my workout. If I feel any hungrier or stop losing fat, I will obviously make a few adjustments to both the amount of carbs and perhaps the timing.
Also, I really love this basic marinade that we found on YouTube for steak:
Red Wine
Worcestershire Sauce
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
