How are you cooking your chicken? I'm always interested in getting new ways to cook it that aren't fill of garbage
Just a teriyaki marinade over night. Then I sear it over direct high heat on the q. Then move it to the other side of the grill until the fat renders. I’m not a fan of the fat deposits in thighs. But the marinade has sugar. I just watch my carbs anyway so no big deal. I think most people that have made diet changes permanent make small accommodations like this to make eating better more feasible.

Subbed for more bikini pics.

The more important question is, what type of meal containers are those?
I like those. Looks like that'll be the ones I get nextI get these...

They are cheap but work.
I hate you. In a good way.She is always in a bikini during the summer... Monday I was putting up a new TV in side and she was outside sun bathing in the pool. I go ask her for help cause the fucking thing weighs 200 lbs and attaching it to a wall mount is not a one "man" job. But she comes in topless. It was hell of sight to behold my shiny sweaty sexy wife struggle to get a bolt in the back of the tv while I lift it.... and keep in mind her new "rack" is only a year old now and man do they look great... I'm one motor boatin son of a bitch..
Berberine looks interesting, i might have to try it for gut health. Tumeric is supposed to be good for the gut too. What brand are you buying?

Yeah the more I read on those two the more good things I kept finding. But gut health was one of the main ones along with glucose and lipid control... not to mention the icing on my beat up bodies cake, anti inflammatory.
Actually this was one of the studies I liked

Berberine can have a very negative effect on protein synthesis if it's used improperly. I WOULD NOT recommend it as a daily supplement.

Berberine does work very well if you are insulin resistant if, you use it for short periods of time in the right circumstances. It can also aid in fat loss due to its mechanism on insulin.That was a good read... and good to consider. Though they did acknowledge that the reports they found in the mice were not necessarily inline with the reports patients using berberine. And the more I look into it, it seems to be some what of an anomaly. when i google "muscle wasting and berberine" most of what pops up is that study and forum threads and articles that seem to more or less disagree with that study. I think t-nation states that there are 2800 studies done on berberine and its affects but that is the only one that proves muscle atrophy that i could find.
[FONT="]"We recognize that our findings from experiments utilizing mice or cultured cells may not reflect events occurring in patients with type 2 diabetes. Reports of protein turnover in diabetic or insulin-resistant patients find no muscle wasting unless the patients are elderly or sedentary ([/FONT]29[FONT="]–[/FONT]32[FONT="]). Even though obese patients with type 2 diabetes were shown to exhibit some impairment in ATP production, it has also been found that intensive insulin therapy did not change leucine kinetics when compared with results achieved with conventional insulin therapy ([/FONT]33). However, our results do indicate that antidiabetes drugs can cause unexpected consequences, including changes in protein metabolism."
here is another write up that references the above study.

Here is the quote:
[h=2]"13. Effects of berberine on muscle atrophy[/h]Muscle atrophy is a characteristic of chronic diseases including diabetes. Surprisingly, berberine was reported to promote muscle atrophy in both wild-type and db/db mice through hampering mitochondrial function and stimulating the expression of atrogin-1, which promoted protein degradation and suppressed protein synthesis67. However, in another study, berberine improved muscle atrophy, increased glycogen storage and decreased triglycerides content in skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats. Further experiments revealed that reduced expression of CDK9 and cyclin T1 in the muscle was reversed with berberine68. Berberine also increased PPARα/δ expression and reduced PPARγ expression in skeletal muscle similar as rosiglitazone or fenofibrate69. The controversial data may be due to diverse methods of administration. Muscle atrophy was induced by berberine injection. Oral administration of berberine led to improvement of muscle atrophy. The actual effects of berberine remain to be explored."
Its a little hard for me to discount the benefits of berberine based on that study though. Mostly because this is a widely used/studied supp with no reports of muscle wasting accept what is referenced in that study on the diabetic mice.

But, I've seen lots and lots of guys use this for long periods of time hammering a ton of food and not growing very much at all considering their calorie intake but, they stay relatively lean. Eating a shit ton of food and not growing while staying lean isn't productive. These same guys have problems filling back out when they do get lean for the same reasons on altering insulin response.
I would use it sparingly is what I'm getting at. I've used it quite a few times during little runs where I was only trying to reset insulin sensitivity and then remove it. Has worked very well for me.
I really need to start doing that too.
