    Again I use the knoor bulion cubes and for a big pot I use about 4-5. But those are bigger cubes so if you use other cubes, just add them, taste, and add some more until you think it tastes right. And you can just add salt as well, but again, this just adds more flavor because its concentrated...

    Either that or you add a ton of salt, lol. I like the bullion because it ads more chicken flavor.

    Well I dont have an irrational fear of carbs. But there is a ton of medical shit out there, peer reviewed studies how carbs are just fucking bad for you. Im not saying everyone should be on a keto diet. I wasnt until 4 weeks ago when I hit my platou and wanted to try something different. I was...

    Chicken soup? I make it the old fashioned way my mom and grandma used to make. 1 full chicken split in 1/2 maybe even two if they are small. Put this in big pot of water and boil for like 45 min. sometimes I add in some beef shank or beef shortribs. Then when the 30-45 min is up, strain the shit...

    Nahh, you dont need carbs to fuel your workouts. And its not leangains, its ketogains. Also leangains, the dude does not carb load before workouts, he just does some BCAA before the workout and then eats after. But yes, on the workout days, he does consume more carbs. As for the Keto, Im just...

    To add to this even further, can you even buy a SD TV anymore? I dont see them around anymore for sale. Fuck you can get a 40"-45" 1080p TV for like $300 these days. The only places I see SD tvs anymore is in like cabins we rent out in the summer in northern Michigan.

    Turkey breast I buy all the time, roast that shit and make sandwiches out of it. Better than the processed lunch meat stuff you can get. As for chickens, fuuuuck, my household goes thrrough hundreds of chickens every year. This grocery store chain around me, Kroger, sells full birds for like...

    Deep fried turkey is good. My parents did theirs a few years back, so I borrowed their fryer and did mine and it was all that and then some. I brined mine over night for extra juiciness. Just make sure you dry the fucker of any moisture and lower it down slowly.

    Tenderloin is good when stuffed with some sausage or something then tied back up, maybe even braised in some lovely liquids. Other than that it tends to be dry as shit. Sort of like a beef round roast. If you are going to do some shredding, get yourself a shoulder, you can either do it slow...

    This shit is such a farce. Weve been fed a whole bunch of lies about fat, saturated fat, red meat, etc. All the while they keep on pushing sugars and starches that turn into sugars in a millisecond in your stomach. But hey, its low fat, right? Think about it, men have eaten animals and fucking...

    For the past 3 weeks Ive been trying the keto diet (high fat, moderate protein, very low carb). Im stuck at the 195-200 lb mark and just seem to be plateaued there for the past 4 or so weeks. The diet makes you feel great after the initial break in period of 1-2 weeks. The mind is sharp, and I...

    When I do my chili, thats basically what I do, but I dont make a paste, I just grind them up in a dedicated coffee grinder into a chili powder, seeds and all. I buy any dried chilis I can get my hands on either at the produce market, or the grocery store.
