Shilajit is used in Ayurvedic medicine...Shilajit is a natural mineral substance that exudes from the rocks in mountainous regions in the heat of summer. It is a powerful rejuvenative that cleanses the urinary tract and lungs, while bolstering strength and supporting the immune system. It purifies the blood and helps remove excess kapha and natural toxins from the tissues. As an aphrodisiac, it increases vitality and stamina while toning the reproductive organs and supporting their proper function.
Agreed. I've been hitting more around 120-150 a day so worst case I'll sneak in a protein shake and an egg etc etc. I don't think it's a huge change but seeing the trend over the month and seeing the consistent protein miss I think it's enough data to act.
Hey Chris, thanks as always. Thought this was a good post to comment on one month into using the InBody scale and tracking my nutrition. I tried to do this without too much judgement and here's what I found. 1. The act of tracking really changed my decision making in terms of food, exercise, movement etc. 2. I lost about 6 pounds in a month (188 to 182) but saw skeletal muscle mass drop 2-3 pounds. Body fat percentage down about 1.5% 3. Protein intake was consistently not keeping up with my goal of around 200 grams a day. 4. Energy level, mood, performance all doing well. My next month is going to be trying to keep other elements consistent with a focus on increasing protein intake to stop the muscle loss trend. Also going to investigate testing options to level set on markers you mentioned in a recent post.
Can't agree more on overcoming the social isolation. Coming out of the lockdowns was especially tough. Being part of a group and encouraging others to reach their goals while simultaneously hitting yours is one of the best feelings for me.

Hello Chris,
Have you attempted to fuel with lean turkey, chicken and salmon as a protein base with in frequent use of red meat?
Delicious fuel!

Love this post and the concept behind it. Personally, I love lifting weights but I find you can't beat the adrenaline rush from an intense run.
