    Has anyone ever had chronic ankle pain due to ankle sprain?

    Hello everyone. I sprained my ankle 9 months ago, while coming down some steps. Sprain wasn’t bad as I was immediately able to walk on it and put weight. Did limp for first few days. Till 2 months after the injury, I didn’t see a doctor and continued doing some strengthening work at home. But...

    Do you supplement L-Leucine?

    Hey there, with L-Leucine being one of the most important amino acids I wondered if some of you may supplement it? I gave a new protein powder a try and it had 10.3g of Leucine per 100g of product. As far as I'm aware that's the sweet spot and makes the powder higher in quality all around...

    So sleepy after working out

    34 y/o male, vegan for 3 years. After I workout (nothing high intensity i.e. 20-30 min running, calisthenics, etc.) I get really sleepy the next day or 2. Similar to the feeling of jet lag, I can barely focus and I’m pretty much useless. I can’t keep going on like this, feels like something is...

    Dr. Gregor says not to consume over 25 grams of soy protein per day. What are your thoughts?

    *Greger This caught my attention not only because I was surprised there was a limit (according to him) but also because that's pretty low. I go way over that between tofu, tempeh, and soy milk. He mentioned this in an interview with Simnett Nutrition. Timestamped link below. Edit: Here's...

    Hey guys so I’ve been hitting the gym now for almost 3 years now. Went from around 140 pounds to 183. I’m 5’10 and so at this point, the mass can somewhat be seen. I started IF 16:8 or 18:6 for the last 3 weeks, with a 24 hour fast once a week, and a 4 meal feast day once a week. I make sure I...

    How do you get enough protein?

    We all get asked it, and we all ask each other. So let’s start a big thread with our best advice! I’m eating 1700-2200 calories a day with 150-200g of protein. I prefer to eat lower carb because it keeps my energy more consistent, but that’s just a preference. I’m female 5’3” and about 150lb...

    Genuine question born of steroid ignorance:

    Hi all… You may have heard stories of people who were sick, virus, cold/flu, clogged up & lethargic whatever for YEARS without knowing they were sick… then one day took antibiotics and BOOM, could breathe & think again? - I’m one of those. Except: It was steroids. I was bogged for years. I got...

    Lost lots of weight over the past year (211 lbs down to 165) and the last bit of fat is frustrating. Need some guidance

    So as the title states, I have gone from 211 lbs to 165 lbs over the past year, primarily through reducing calories, lifting weights on a PPL scheme, and doing short HIIT after each lifting session (like 10 minutes worth). I am a 5’9” 36M. I have recently (as of June 1st) been following a...

    Any arguments in favour or against supplements

    Hello everyone, I have been crunching the number and I have realized that is way cheaper and reliable just to supplement a handful of nutrients instead of adding more foods to my current meal plan. I have been taking B complex, vitamin D and Calcium ( get like 80% from diet) and recently buy...
