Santi (Part 2)

Pairing: Bucky X Reader

Words: 4430

Warnings: Fluff, flirt, 

Summary: The team leaves for a mission leaving you and Bucky alone at the tower. 

Santi Masterlist

After bidding the team goodbye the next morning you and Bucky head to the kitchen for breakfast.

"How was your first night in the new place?"

"Good. Slept okay. How'd you sleep?"

"I have a hard time getting to sleep any given day but once I did last night I was good."

In the kitchen you pull out a frozen breakfast burrito to heat and grab an apple and peanut butter.  Bucky fixes a huge bowl of cereal. 

"Why aren't you on the mission?" Bucky asks.

"You want the official answer or the truth?" You ask.

"The truth, always."

"Steve didn't want you to be alone so he asked me to stay."

"You were okay with that?"

"Well, you know, my 'particular skills are not needed for this mission'" You say imitating Steve.

"You don't mind being my babysitter?"

"Well, first, I'm not your babysitter. You're a big boy and can wipe your butt all by yourself. Second, I don't mind having some time to take it easy. It's usually hard to come by. And, lastly, the rest of the team has worked with you before. I like that it gives me the chance to get to know you. Not the file or news reports or rumors, but you as a person." Bucky seems taken aback by your answer. "You said you wanted the truth, always." You smile and Bucky seems to relax a bit.

"Thanks." He pauses for a minute but then smirks, "Wipe my own butt? You always had that mouth on ya?"

"All my life." You smile at him.

"Apple and peanut butter?" Bucky asks as he watches you eat.

"It's delicious!" You pick up a fresh slice, scoop some peanut butter onto it. Leaning over the table you hold it up for Bucky to take a bite. "Try it." He eyes you as he bites into the slice you are holding out to him.

"Okay. Weird but good "

You giggle at his expression and pop the other half into your mouth. 

"Are you always happy like this? You always seem to be on the verge of laughing." He asks suddenly.

"No. But, I don't know, I guess I've had the privilege of living my life unlike you and Steve. It's given me the time to work through things, figure out what makes me happy. I guess I've just lived long enough to learn contentment. And I think that's the basis of happiness."

"Lived long enough? You're what? 25? 30?"

Your face falls. "You haven't read my file."

"No."

"Have you read any of them?"

"No. It feels... invasive. Like I'm prying."

"It's not. It's just basics. Nothing overly personal. Abilities. Skills. Things you need to know in the field." You say emphatically. "For example, let's say we're on a mission. I get shot. Femoral artery hit. Bleeding out. What do you do?"

"Apply a tourniquet. Determine if I can complete the mission without you dying."

"Wrong. You just wasted time and possibly cost us the mission. You do nothing. I don't need medical attention." You take a deep breath, "I'm a Gifted. I have healing abilities. My body will force out the bullet and the wound will be repaired within 90 seconds. Blood supply restored in minutes. You and Steve heal fast but I put your abilities to shame there."

"Do you have any other abilities?"

"Additional strength, not your level but decent. Increased metabolism. Slow aging." You pause and look directly into his eyes, "And empathic telepathy."

"Like Wanda?"

"Wanda's a little different. She's more telepathic in the sense of reading minds and forcing waking dreams. My ability allows me, if I choose to, read people's emotions. And I can imbue people with emotions."

"Force them to feel things?"

"Ye...yes." You say hesitantly and then look him directly in the eyes, "Look, I have read your file and I know you've had your mind messed with enough. I will never, NEVER do that to you without your consent. Never."

You stare at each other for a moment before Bucky gives a slight nod.

"Is it helpful?"

"My specialty was deep cover. Being able to force trust, calm, caring. It makes getting to the inner circles easier. But after doing it for so long I had to get out. I was other people so much I started to lose myself. So, I told Fury that I wanted out. And then the world blew up and I ended up right back in the middle of it. I think I'm where I'm supposed to be now."

"How do you do it?"

"I just think it and I kinda push it to the other person. It's even easier when I'm touching them. If a person can somehow resist me mentally, once I touch them the resistance fades."

"What all can you make them feel?"

"Any emotion. Several if needed."

"Fear? Panic?"

"Yes."

"Pain?"

"Emotional pain, yes."

"Love?"

"Yes."

"Pleasure?"

You look at Bucky and raise an eyebrow at that one before replying in a low voice, "Yes."

"Have you done it to me?"

Voice strong again, "No. Never without your permission."

"Our teammates?"

"Only with their consent. Most people want to try it at least once."

"I have nightmares sometimes." Bucky says quietly.

"Yeah." Your tone softens.

"Could you calm me if that was happening?"

"I can, yes. I can also help you sleep. Do you want me to?"

Bucky stares into his bowl of cereal for a moment. When his eyes flicker up to you there is a tinge of red to them. He gives a slight nod. Reaching over you curl your hand around his wrist. "You're my teammate, my friend. I'll do anything I can to help you. Anything, okay?"

Bucky gives a small nod.

"Okay. Time to get some training in. Don't want Steve to think I'm slacking the first day without him." You start clearing your breakfast dishes.

"He's a real drill sergeant, huh?"

"Sometimes." 

"Wait, how old are you? I take it, older than 25."

You laugh, "That's sweet, Buck. I'm 62."

"So Sam was including you in his geriatric patients?"

"I think you have to be over 65 to be in that category. You and Steve are still the geezers of the place." You smirk at him. "I'll catch up with you later."

"I'll see you in the training room in a bit."

"Sounds good." You say as you walk to the elevator. Your heart hurts a little for Bucky knowing it had to be hard for him to ask for help. You hope he knows how strong he is, how brave to ask.

Before Bucky heads to the training room he detours to his room. Going to the desk he pulls out the stack of files Steve had given him and quickly located Santi's. Flipping it open he read:

Bucky closes the file and heads to the training room. He spots Santi lifting weights and joins her. "So, 'The Saint', huh?"

You laugh, "You read my file?" 

"Yeah."

"That's what you took away from it? My code name?"

"Bella Santi Delarosa. Beautiful Saint of the Rose?"

"I was born on All Saints Day. My parents were Catholic." You shrug. "Any other questions?"

"I noticed the slight southern accent so Alabama made sense. Did you grow up there?"

"Until I was 13."

He wanted to ask what happened but knew it wasn't the right time to get into it. Deciding on a subject change, "Expert marksman?"

"You bet your ass."

"I was gonna bet lunch, actually."

"Knives or guns?"

"Knives."

"Yay!" You clap your hands as you move to the weapons cage to pull out knives. "Let's start with a target and we'll see if we need to get to trick shots to determine a winner."

Bucky glances at the body shaped training target at the end of the range, picks up a knife, and says "Right eye." The blade finds its mark with barely a glance. 

"Left eye." Hit.

"Left shoulder." Hit.

"Right shoulder." Hit

"Center mass." Hit.

"Same." Hit within millimeters of his knife.

"Nose." Hit.

"Mouth." Hit.

Getting an idea you move in a bit closer as he says "Forehead" and aims. As he's preparing to throw you reach on tiptoe and blow in his ear. The knife hits the target's groin. 

"I'm sorry. Did you say forehead or foreskin? If it was forehead, you were a little low on that one, weren't you?" You say still right next to Bucky's ear. Bucky turns eyes wide and swallows hard. You smile innocently up at him. 

"Wouldn't you call that cheating?" Bucky's voice is gravelly as he stared down at you.

"I'd call it winning. After all, out in the field there's all kinds of distractions. You have to get used to them." You say in mock innocence with a sweet smile.

Bucky tries to keep a straight face but a chuckle slips through. "Fine. I'll give you this one, Doll."

"I accept your defeat. There is this great diner right by the Museum of Natural History. They have phenomenal burgers and then we can go to the museum."

"I thought the bet was for lunch."

"Well, I figured I'd take you to the museum as a consolation prize. After all, I did cheat."

"I'm not taking you away from any plans?"

"Those were my plans. Now, you get to pay for lunch though."

Bucky laughed and his heart warmed a little at the thought that you had planned out the day with him. 

"Let's finish training and then we can get ready to head out." You say heading back to the weights.

Three hours later, you arrive at the diner and both order burgers and fries.

"Can I ask you something? Personal?" Bucky asks, glancing at you nervously.

"Anything. I'm kind of an open book. Which is unusual in this group."

"Yeah." Bucky says on a short laugh "What happened to your family?"

You knew it was coming at some point. "You want the short or long version?"

"Long if you're comfortable with telling it."

"Yeah." You pause to collect your thoughts. "You read my file so you know I grew up in Mobile, Alabama. My parents were Marco and Guilia and I had a brother named Luca. He was two years younger than me. My parents wanted more kids but it just didn't happen. We were a big Italian family. Steve always says he knows I'm Italian because I'm loud, always eating, and am touchy-feely."

Bucky laughs "Sounds right. You've never shied away from touching me."

"Sorry." You say feeling a slight blush creep up. "Please let me know if I make you uncomfortable. I just don't think about it much."

"No, I like it. Most people don't get very close to me. Keep going"

You smile blushing a little more but continue with the story. "My grandparents, my dad's parents, had a bakery. Most of the family worked there. I loved it. I had 8 aunts and uncles, a million cousins. Big, big family. Nice life, ya know. Lots of love and lots of drama. Then when I was thirteen, we were driving home from my cousin's birthday party and our car was hit by an 18-wheeler. My parents died on impact. Luca…" you pause and swallow hard willing the tears away. Clearing your throat you continued, "Luca died while they were trying to get us out of the car. He was such a sweet kid. Tender-hearted and quiet. I should have died too. My injuries were severe but that's when my mutation kicked in. Before they even got me out of the car my injuries healed. I didn't understand what happened. The doctor explained the mutant gene while I was in the hospital. I was so wracked with guilt that I lived. I didn't want to hear anything about it. Then my family… they were scared of me. I could feel it. They turned me over to the state. They didn't want anything to do with me. I was put in a group home and first chance I got I ran. Ran for nine years before SHIELD found me. They took me in. Taught me that my mutation was a calling not a curse." 

The food came at that point and you both dug in hungrily. Bucky looked up after a few bites. "What'd you do the nine years you were running?"

"Petty theft, lot of trespassing, might have been a grand theft auto somewhere in there, and then I joined the circus."

Bucky laughed, "Serious?"

"Yeah. I got a job helping set up and take down for a circus and when they left I kinda stowed away and they let me stay. I grew up dancing and doing gymnastics, so they taught me aerial silks and rope tricks. I ran errands, took care of the animals, cooked, and eventually even performed."

Bucky narrows his eyes at you, "You're pulling my leg."

"No. It was the 70s. I'll show you some pictures when we get back."

"What exactly are aerial silks?"

"They're sheets of silk you use to perform contortions while kinda flying in the air. I'll show you one day. I still love doing it." Bucky still looked skeptical. "What?" You finally ask when his face was still scrunched up.

"You really have pictures?"

"Yes. Tell me about when you and Steve were kids." Trying to get the subject off of you for a minute. 

You looked across at Bucky and saw a genuine smile on his face for a moment. He launched into a story and was more animated than you had seen before. It was endearing the way his face lit up talking about pre-serum Steve and their antics. He looked young and happy for a few minutes. 

The spell was broken when the waiter delivered the check. Staying true to the bet, Bucky paid and then you walked to the museum a block away. You had already purchased the tickets online and went right in. It was only 12:30 and it seemed to be a slow Tuesday as you were nearly alone in every exhibit. Bucky was enthralled. He went from display to display pointing out observations, wondering at the discoveries, and fascinated with the history. Sometimes even grabbing your hand to follow him. You were enthralled by him. It seemed like for a few hours the weight lifted from his shoulders. 

You stay at the museum until closing and then head back to the tower. Bucky talks nearly the entire way back about the museum exhibits. You thought your heart would burst that your outing made him so happy. 

Heading to the kitchen you look in the fridge. "What do you want for dinner?"

"You pick."

"If I pick, we're ordering pizza."

"Sounds good to me. What movie do you want to watch?"

"You're not sick of me yet?" You smile, amazed that he wanted to spend more time with you.

"No! I mean, you don't have to watch a movie with me. I just thought, ya know, pizza and a movie. You had, uh, mentioned the Star Trek movie yesterday, so I thought maybe..." He trailed off.

"Sounds good to me." You echoed his earlier sentiment and he smiled at you.

You sat on the couch eating pizza and watching the movie. After a while you ended up shifting to lean into Bucky and rest your head on his shoulder.

"You okay?" He asks.

"A little cold. I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable?" You say, moving away a little. He doesn't answer. Instead he grabs his hoodie and drapes it and his arm over you giving a little squeeze. You snuggle into him. It's a little harder to concentrate on the movie enveloped by his warmth and smell. 

After the movie was over, Bucky looked over at you, "Tired?"

"No, not really. You?"

"No."

"What'd you think of the movie?"

"It was interesting. I'd like to see the next one. Right now, I'm interested in seeing some pictures someone told me they have."

"Oh, yeah. Let's go to my room and I'll find them." You stand and stretch your arms over your head bowing your back. When you look at Bucky still sitting on the couch his eyes aren't quite on your face. You clear your throat ostensibly and his eyes snap up to yours while his cheeks gain a little pink tinge. "Come on, Buck." You turn away smiling to yourself. 

You get to your room and find the photo album with pictures from the Seventies in it. Placing it on the bed in front of both of you, you skip the first few pages and flip until you find pictures from the circus. They're starting to fade with age, but there you are riding an elephant, another showing you contorted in the silks, one where you are surrounded by clowns, cooking in a tent, and a few more showing your circus life. 

"You weren't kidding!"

"Of course not! It was actually a pretty fun time in my life. It was easier being accepted there. Once I got past being first of May."

"First of May?"

"Green. New. Takes awhile for circus folk to warm up but they're good to you once they do. They were like a big family." 

"Why'd you decide to leave?"

"SHIELD. They could help me learn to control my powers. And to be able to use them for something good."

"What are these other pictures?" Bucky asks as he flips back to the beginning of the album. 

"Oh!" You say in surprise. You reach for the album but Bucky is already looking at the pictures. Resignedly, you explain, "That was the last family portrait we took."

Bucky looks up at you sorrowfully, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have." He goes to hand you back the album.

"No, it's okay. It's been a long time since I looked at them." You point to the next photo. "That was my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary."

"Is that the entire town of Mobile?

"No, that's just my grandparents, their kids, and all my first cousins."

"First cousins?!?"

"Yeah, they were prolific. What can I say? My parents were picked on because they only had two of us."

"How old are you here?" He points to a picture of you holding a stuffed bunny.

"Three, I think." The next picture is you holding a baby Luca. You reach out and touch his little cherub cheeks but only feel the cold plastic covering the photo.

"You miss him?"

"Yeah. I guess you never stop. Losing a sibling sucks, ya know? They're the ones that are supposed to be with you through it all. You expect grandparents and parents to die, but your siblings are supposed to be there. Do you?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I miss Rebecca."

"Sorry. I shouldn't have brought that up."

"No, it's okay. But I probably should get some sleep."

"Yeah."

Bucky gets up and puts the album back on your shelf. "Night, Santi."

"Night, Bucky." You say in a small voice.

"Hey." He waits until you look up at him. "You okay?"

You force a smile, "Yeah, I'm good."

He hesitates, studying you. 

Finally, you give in to yourself. "Actually, can I have a hug?"

"Absolutely!" He walks over to you taking your hand and pulling you up before wrapping his arms around you. You put your arms around his waist and your head on his shoulder. After a minute you feel a soft kiss pressed to your forehead. "Sweet dreams, Doll."

"You, too." You say as you reluctantly let go. You change into a sleepshirt and get ready for bed. Knowing sleep won't come for a while you pick up a book.

A couple of hours later you feel your stomach twist in knots and a loud grunt issues through the wall followed by "NO!" Getting up quickly you knock on Bucky's door, "Bucky, are you okay?" You listen for a second but only hear another grunt. You knock again, "Bucky?" You say a little louder. 

"Стоп!" Hearing the Russian word from Bucky made your decision. You turn the knob and walk in. Bucky is thrashing a bit on the bed. His right hand is clenched around the sheets.

"Bucky, wake up. Hey. Come on, Buck." You put a knee on the bed and lean over to shake Bucky. The moment you touch his shoulder he sits up. The knife in his left hand lands with a thunk in your side. You hiss at the pain but stay still. "Buck. Bucky, hey." His eyes are far away and you know he hasn't come out of it yet. You put your right hand over his hand gripping the knife and your left on his shoulder suffusing calm into him. "Buck, I'm calming you. You said it was okay. Look at me, darlin'. Hey, hey." You see his eyes begin to focus. Finally, he looks at you. "Good. Hey, love, I need you to let go, okay?" You gently nudge his left hand which is still firmly holding the knife in you. You see him glance down and panic blanches his face. Suffusing calm again you take your left hand and touch his face drawing his attention to yours. "I'm okay. I just need you to let go. Bucky, talk to me."

"I'm so sorry!" Comes out in a panicked whisper as he lets go. 

"Bucky, I'm fine. Healing ability, remember?" You gather the ends of your shirt and brace to pull out the knife. "Mmmm...had to be a serrated one, huh?" You press the shirt to the wound to staunch the blood flow and look at Bucky. He looks shattered. "Bucky, everything's okay."

"I stabbed you." He whispers.

"Better me than anyone else." You give a humorless little laugh. You wipe the knife on part of your shirt and set it down on the nightstand. 

"I stabbed you."

"90 seconds, Bucky. 90 seconds and I'll be healed. No harm, no foul."

"I stabbed you and you're laughing." He looks at you incredulously. 

"What's a little stab wound between friends?" You smile but he still looks lost. "Bucky, another empathic part is I can let you feel how I'm feeling. Can I show you?"

He nods and you put a hand on his. "What do you feel?"

He looks in your eyes finally, "Calm. Caring. Worry for me."

"Exactly. I'm fine. Now, are you okay? You were having a nightmare."

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay." You pull him into a hug keeping your bloody side away from him. He puts his right arm around you and runs his left hand up your arm to your neck. Pulling away he looks into your eyes, glances down to your lips, and then back with an almost questioning look. It doesn't take empathic ability to know what he's feeling and your heart twists a little. You raise up a bit and kiss his forehead like he did for you earlier that night.

"I'm gonna get cleaned up. Can I borrow a shirt?" You stand up and that's when Bucky notices you had bunched your shirt up to stem the wound exposing your legs and a pair of peach colored panties. 

Tearing his eyes away he stands up quickly and pulls open a drawer. "Yeah, here, Doll." 

You look in the drawer and pull out a black ribbed tank from the top. "This will work." You say as you head into his bathroom. 

Bucky watches you walk away thinking with the peach colored underwear it almost looked like you weren't wearing anything down below. He shook the thought away. Nice, Buck, you stab her and then ogle her, he thinks to himself. 

You take off the shirt you are wearing and grab a cloth to clean off the blood. After washing your hands you slip on the tank. It comes down just past your butt and almost looks like a dress on you. A very short dress. Staring at yourself in the mirror for a second you can't deny the feelings developing in you. Bucky is...you can't even describe it. Beautiful inside and out. But too often your empathic abilities had interfered with real feelings. You had wanted to kiss him in that moment but the emotional charge was too much. What if that's all it was? The heat of the moment? It was too soon. You'd known him for less than 48 hours. Sighing, you shake off your thoughts and walk back out. Bucky eyes you from where he is sitting on the bed. 

"You okay?" He asks. 

"Yes. See? No harm, no foul." You lift the tank up to show him. 

He raises his left arm and touches your side. The cool touch from his metal hand breaks your skin into goosebumps. You cover his hands with yours and for a moment get lost in his eyes when he looks up at you. 

Breaking eye contact you pull the shirt back down, saying softly "It's late. You should go back to sleep." 

"I don't think I can." He says.

You sit next to him on the bed. "Lay down. Get comfortable. I'll help you."

He lays on his side and hugs his pillow. Running your hands through his hair, you suffuse calm and see the tension slip away a bit. Giving him a minute before suffusing lethargy, you watch as his muscles start to relax. Finally, you suffuse a sleepy feeling. You can't force sleep but have found that when these three feelings combine they make a fairly good sleep cocktail. Bucky's form slowly relaxes and you continue to run your hands through his hair suffusing the sleepy feeling until his breathing evens out. You retrieve your ruined shirt and bloody cloth from the bathroom and the knife from the nightstand. You don't want him to have any reminders when he wakes. Switching off his lamp, you reluctantly head to your own bed.

Meticore Reviews – Scam Complaints Or Weight Loss Diet Pills Really Work?

Losing weight isn’t always easy. There are so many different factors that impact one’s ability to lose weight and keep it off in the long-term. While proper diet and exercise are a must, some find that adding a supplement to their daily routine makes it much easier to achieve their weight loss goals. We will understand how Meticore Works and how it helps lose weight in this Meticore Reviews.

These days, there is no shortage of fat burner products on the market. But as you’d imagine, not all of them live up to what’s advertised. Some use ingredients that have no impact on fat loss, while others have potentially harmful compounds that could cause adverse side effects.

Meticore Reviews

If you’re looking for a supplement that promotes a healthy metabolism along with natural fat burning and weight loss, look no further than Meticore. This supplement is uniquely-formulated with potent superfoods to increase metabolism, which is often caused by a low core body temperature due to age.

For this guide, we’re going to take a look at our third top fat burner supplement: Meticore. Meticore is one of the only metabolism boosting products that is packed with powerful and potent super nutrients that are effective in raising the core body temperature. When taken on a daily basis, this supplement can help anyone achieve their weight loss goals.

By enhancing cellular temperatures and cell activity, heat is produced within the body, which then stimulates and activates the metabolism. To get best results, use Meticore in combination with fat loss inducing lifestyle activities, such as making healthy dietary choices and routine exercise.

Taking Meticore as a daily supplement enhances energy and promotes fat loss by boosting the metabolism. A properly functioning metabolism uses calories for energy instead of storing them for fat.

Though there are tons of scam and low quality products that are marketed as fat burners, Meticore isn’t one of them. This product works to increase low core body temperatures while also helping to correct hormonal imbalances that make it harder to lose weight and keep it off for good.

What is Meticore?

Meticore is a diet pill that jumpstarts the metabolism by increasing body temperature. This promotes weight loss at a faster and more consistent pace. As we get older, our ability to maintain an efficient core body temperature decreases. There are many studies that have proven a correlation between metabolism and core body temperature. More often than not, low core body temperatures cause the metabolism to slow down and work less efficiently.

According to Meticore, both men and women can increase their core body temperature by taking the supplement regularly. Each capsule contains six high-quality, effective nutrients that supercharge the metabolism by increasing inner body temperature. If you’re struggling to lose weight, this may be just the supplement you’re missing from your daily regimen.

What’s important to note is that Meticore isn’t a miracle pill. You won’t lose weight or burn fat if you continue to eat a high calorie diet or workout very little or not at all. While Meticore will awaken a sleeping metabolism and improve digestion, it won’t work without being taken in combination with healthy lifestyle choices.

If you research any fat burner pill, you’re likely to come across negative reviews and feedback, but this is usually because of user error. Not only must Meticore be taken daily, people forget that it’s a supplement, not a product that can negate poor lifestyle decisions.

As discussed earlier, there are many factors that can cause weight gain. One of the most common is having a low core (endothermic) body temperature, which can cause a slow metabolism. Studies show that the lower your core body temperature is, the slower your metabolism will be. This not only makes it harder to prevent weight gain, but it also inhibits the ability to lose weight as well.

If you have a slow metabolism, the first step is to correct the underlying cause. In this instance, it means increasing a low core body temperature. With a healthy, regulated core temperature, it’s much easier to achieve healthy weight loss! A proper core temperature may also:

●      Improve joint mobility

●      Increase sleep quality and quantity

●      Improve hair and skin health

●      Reduce inflammation

When taken regularly, Meticore works as a morning metabolic trigger. It boosts the metabolic rate and shifts the way the body produces and uses energy. This is all possible due to the fat burning weight loss ingredients that are used in the formula.

Aging isn’t something that we can stop or avoid. So, one day, we’re all going to face the reality of a slowing metabolism. This means that as we get older, we’re more likely to see the number on the scale gradually tick upwards.

But whether you’re 25 or 55, Meticore can work as an effective weight loss and fat burner supplement. This product not only optimizes core body temperature, it revs up the metabolism and encourages efficient and effective fat burn. The six natural ingredients are designed to help you finally reach your goal weight.

What Are The Benefits of Meticore

So how exactly does Meticore work? The all natural ingredients turn up the internal heat of cells, which reverses age-related metabolic slowdown. The best part is that this all happens without any negative side effects! What you will experience is fat loss and an improvement in your overall health.

There are hundreds of fat burners on the market, but Meticore is one of the highest quality supplements available today. This product is worth considering because it:

●      Is stimulant free. It doesn’t contain any artificial stimulants in order to trigger or sustain weight loss

●      Is 100% natural and vegetarian-friendly

●      Contains no GMOs or other additives

●      Has no tolerance forming tendencies. This means it’s highly unlikely that you’ll build a physical or dietary tolerance to Meticore

●      Is tested by an independent third party lab for potency and purity

In addition to being able to increase core body temperature in order to increase metabolism, Meticore may also help to regulate blood sugar levels, while also supporting heart, brain, and joint health. This supplement is manufactured and produced in the USA and is FDA approved. Meticore is produced in a GMP-certified facility, which means it’s processed under strict and safe standards.

Meticore Ingredients: the Special Secret Blend Of Meticore

Each of the ingredients used in Meticore are hand selected to provide three main benefits: burn fat, lose weight to boost energy, and to optimize metabolism. This means that there are no filler ingredients that don’t work to boost weight loss and overall well-being.

The makers of Meticore claim that the product delivers a fast-acting rise in core body temperature in order to boost metabolism. This promotes the burning of fat, especially in those stubborn and hard to target areas. But these aren’t the only benefits!

According to manufacturers, this supplement has the potential to offer a wide range of other benefits, including a glowing complexion, plump skin, silky hair, and reduced joint pain and inflammation. While this may sound too good to be true, there is plenty of evidence that backs all of the natural ingredients used in Meticore, to include herbal extracts and plant-based nutrients.

Meticore contains the following ingredients:

●      African Mango Seed (Irvingia gabonensis)

●      Ginger Rhizome (Zingiber officinale)

●      Moringa leaf (moringa oleifera)

●      Citrus Bioflavonoids (citrus Aurantium fruit)

●      Fucoxanthin

●      Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin) 10mcg

●      Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate) 35mcg

●      Meticore Formula Blend 250mg

●      Turmeric Rhizome (Curcuma longa)

All of these plant-based herbal ingredients are encapsulated in a vegetarian capsule. There are no toxic substances, caffeine, or dangerous stimulants. When taken at the recommended dosage, Meticore is not only a safe supplement, it’s highly effective and will prove to be a worthwhile part of your weight loss journey.

Here is some in-depth information about each of the ingredients and how they work within the body to boost the metabolism to promote weight loss.

Brown Seaweed Extract – This ingredient contains a compound known as fucoxanthin, which has become widely discussed over the last few years. This compound is believed to target adipose fat tissue, including the stubborn fat that many of us suffer from in the abdomen area. Brown seaweed extract is also full of vitamins and minerals that optimize and improve energy levels.

African Mango Extract – Also known as Irvingia gabonensis, African Mango Extract is a well-studied ingredient that is commonly used in fat burner and weight loss studies. Several small studies have shown this ingredient to have weight loss benefits.

Moringa Oleifera – This is a very popular superfood ingredient and is a well-known energy booster. Moringa Oleifera is rich in antioxidants, which protect the body against damage caused by free radicals. This ingredient has also shown to benefit skin and hair health.

Ginger – There is no clear evidence in how ginger interacts with other ingredients used in Meticore or if it plays a significant role in weight-loss. However, ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and has many other medicinal properties. It has been used for centuries to decrease inflammation, treat nausea, and even to improve heart health.

Turmeric – Similarly to ginger, turmeric is an herb that has been used for a long time due to its medicinal properties. Turmeric has an active ingredient known as curcumin, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory, which means it may be effective in lowering body temperature. Turmeric also has antioxidant properties and is known for being able to eliminate toxins and toxic metabolic by-products.

The combination of these ingredients offers all of the benefits that people on a weight loss journey need. Lowered inflammation, increased core body temperature, and an improved ability to burn fat.

The full list of ingredients used in Meticore includes:

●      15mcg (417% Daily Value) of vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin)

●      35mcg (100% DV) of chromium (aschromium picolinate)

●      250mg of a Meticore Formula Blend containing Turmeric (Curcuma longa), African mango, ginger, moringa leaf, citrus bioflavonoids, and fucoxanthin

All of these ingredients are packaged into vegetable cellulose capsules, which makes this supplement safe for vegetarians and other lifestyles.

With all of this information, it’s evident that Meticore contains highly potent and effective ingredients that benefit the body in many different ways. While there is no solid evidence as to how these ingredients work together synergistically, looking at each ingredient individually offers great proof. There are also endless positive customer reviews that back the effectiveness of Meticore.

What’s nice is that this product comes with a 100% money back guarantee. The manufacturer offers refunds for any users who aren’t completely satisfied with Meticore.

Are Meticore Pills Safe?

One of the most important questions to ask before buying and taking any weight loss supplement is whether or not the product is safe. As discussed earlier, Meticore has thousands of positive customer reviews that speak highly of the fat burner. Many explain how well the product helped them to lose weight, and the only negative customers have is having to buy a whole new wardrobe!

There are many different ways to lose weight. People who have been trying to lose weight unsuccessfully often turn to fad diets, which are often dangerous and unhealthy. Extreme diets like one meal a day (OMAD) or extreme intermittent fasting can lead to malnourishment and unhealthy perceptions of how to lose weight.

By taking Meticore, losing weight doesn’t have to be dangerous or agonizing. When taken as recommended, Meticore works to increase the core body temperature in order to get the metabolism working as it should. This means no more spending hours at the gym or eating a dangerously low amount of calories in efforts to drop a few pounds.

The better option is to choose a sustainable weight loss method, such as routine exercise, a wholesome diet, and an effective fat burner supplement like Meticore. Weight loss isn’t something that happens overnight. For many, it takes months of dedication and consistency in order to reach their goal weight.

With this said, the best way to get rid of those pesky, stubborn pounds around the midsection is to target the underlying cause. A faster metabolism that is improved due to a proper core body temperature is sure to be most effective.

So just how safe is Meticore? Compared to other options on the market, it’s one of the safest fat burners available. To start, Meticore has been approved by an FDA-inspected lab that ensures the potency and purity of this product. This means that the supplement has passed all of the necessary qualitative checks before being sold.

This also means that the FDA has formally inspected the manufacturing plant where Meticore is produced. After undergoing an inspection, Meticore was found to be produced in a safe, strict, and sterile condition that meets all quality control standards.

In regards to fat burner supplements, Meticore is one of the safest that you’ll find.

The Proof: Are There Any Real Scientific Support?

According to the manufacturers of Meticore, once the body’s metabolic rate has been kick-started, you can expect to see noticeable weight loss throughout the body, including those areas of stubborn fat! Of course, where you’ll lose weight is highly dependent on your body, to include how and where you hold fat.

The bottom line is that within days to a few weeks, you can expect to see the number on the scale decrease. Not only does losing weight improve your physical body profile, weight loss has also been linked to many other benefits, including:

●      Improved sleep

●      Healthier hair and skin

●      Improved immune system

●      Less daily aches and pains

While there are no scientific studies that have been conducted specifically on Meticore, there is plenty of research that backs up the product’s ingredients. This is pretty common for supplement manufacturers, as most don’t undergo formal study unless they are prescription-great medications.

The good news is that Meticore’s manufacturer cites 24 scientific references that show the benefits of each ingredient used in the supplement. This allows you to see how the supplement works to burn fat and help you lose weight.

There is also tons of evidence that show the link between low core body temperature and obesity. A 2009 study found that there is a strong connection between both of these factors. A 2015 study suggests that obese people have a harder time raising their core body temperature, which increases weight gain.

In order to raise core body temperature, energy has to be burned by the body. There’s a possibility that thinner people are able to maintain higher core temperatures, which allows them to burn more calories and fat. However, it’s still unclear if the process works both ways or if there are supplements that have a huge impact on the body’s ability to burn fat.

After looking at the research, we know that many of the ingredients used to create Meticore have been linked with fat burning and weight loss. One of the most effective fat burning ingredients is brown seaweed extract. Even though Meticore only has 250mg of brown seaweed, other supplements only use 100mg, so Meticore offers more than double the standard amount!

Curcumin from turmeric has also shown to potentially burn fat and promote weight loss. One study, which involved more than 1,600 patients, found that curcumin helped to reduce BMI and weight. Doses varied from 70mg to 2400mg per day. So while it’s unclear how much curcumin must be taken each day, this study shows that the compound has weight loss properties.

Unlike other fat burner supplements, Meticore doesn’t contain any thermogenic ingredients that are able to increase body temperature. However, the brand website does offer an in-depth video that explains how these ingredients increase metabolic rate while then increases cellular temperatures.

All in all, there isn’t much direct scientific evidence that proves that Meticore is as effective as it’s marketed as being. But, with the supplement’s affordable price tag, and customer focused refund policy and risk-free money back guarantee, it’s worth giving Meticore a try. Summer is right around the corner, and now is the time to start working towards the body you’ve always wanted!

How to & Where to Buy Meticore

If you’re interested in trying Meticore as a fat burner supplement, the only place to buy it is on the Meticore website. The manufacturer offers a few package options along with bulk discounts. Purchasing options include:

●      1 bottle (30 day supply) $59.00 + shipping

●      3 bottles (90 day supply) $49.99 per bottle + shipping

●      6 bottles (180 day supply) $39.99 per bottle + shipping

Each bottle contains 30 capsules which is 30 servings. So a single bottle will last you an entire month!

To get best results, take one Meticore capsule on a daily basis. Over time, you’ll notice that those areas of stubborn fat will go away. But remember, Meticore isn’t a miracle pill. It won’t cause you to lose tons of fat overnight. It takes time for the capsules to boost your metabolism and encourage more efficient fat burn.

According to the Meticore manufacturer, it can take anywhere from 90 to 180 days in order to see optimal results. With this in mind, it may be ideal to buy a few bottles at a time, this way you don’t run out.

Meticore comes with a no questions asked 60 day money back guarantee. This shows just how confident the company is in its product. In turn, consumers can buy with confidence and know that their money won’t go to waste. So whether you buy a single bottle or six at a time, they can be returned if you’re unhappy with Meticore for any reason. Customers can even return empty bottles if the product doesn’t offer the benefits they want. However, in this instance, customers must pay for return shipping costs.

To learn more about Meticore, including thescientific research that the manufacturer references, be sure to check out the company’s website. Customer can also reach out to Meticore with any problems by emailing the team at contact@meticore.com

What is the Meticore Company?

In looking at the Meticore website, the brand doesn’t provide much information about itself. But the information that is provided does shed some positive light on the company. All manufacturing occurs in the USA at an FDA-inspected facility. All ingredients are also sourced in the USA, so you can buy with peace of mind.

The platform seller is Digistore24 Inc., which is a reputable seller that honors return and refunds. The company is also known for its customer-first approach.

Because the supplement industry isn’t regulated, it’s not uncommon for scams and low quality products to be sold under false marketing and false promises. This makes it much harder for consumers to know where to spend their money and whether or not they’re buying a worthwhile fat burner.

When buying Meticore, there are a few things to be aware of. First, make sure you only buy from the brand’s official website. Never buy from any other sites, as the product may not be Meticore but a potentially dangerous copycat product.

Also, consumers can buy with confidence knowing that Meticore offers a strong refund policy. If you’re unhappy with the product for any reason, the supplement can be returned with no questions asked. But, this refund policy is only in effect if you buy from the Meticore website. Avoid buying from other marketplaces like Amazon or other online health stores.

What About Negative Meticore Reviews

Meticore is one of the most popular weight loss supplements available on the market. But, with greater popularity comes great accountability and responsibility. Because Meticore is so popular, there is a real threat of imposters and fraudulent companies that may try to lure unsuspecting consumers into buying a fake product that is advertised as Meticore. More often than not, many of Meticore’s negative reviews are from consumers who have mistakenly purchased a fraudulent supplement that was advertised as Meticore but isn’t. Sadly, many people don’t pay attention to where they’re buying from. Most just care about getting the lowest price for a product, instead of ensuring that what they’re buying is legitimate.

The good news is that this situation is completely avoidable. Customers interested in buying Meticore should only purchase from the brand’s official website. This is the only online store where legitimate Meticore can be purchased.

Buying this supplement from anywhere else all but ensures that you’re buying a cheap imitation knockoff that is not only unlikely to be effective, but may even be dangerous. Avoid anything that’s called Meticore Advanced Diet Pills Supplement for Weight Loss, Meticore Weight Management Pills, or Meticore Metabolism Supplement Booster.

When you buy from the Meticore website, you can buy with complete confidence. This supplement is safe, effective, and contains all natural ingredients that won’t cause adverse or unexpected side effects.

Meticore Results: Realistic or Too Good To Be True?

Meticore was introduced onto the market on August 2, 2020. Since then, this supplement has skyrocketed in popularity, becoming one of the most highly sought after fat burners available today. Once the new year came, the brand’s popularity continued to grow, as people were setting New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and to reach their weight loss goals

Looking at Google Trends, consumers can see just how quickly Meticore grew, from the day it debuted up until now. During the second half of 2020, hundreds of product reviews were published on the website. While most of them portrayed nothing but positive opinions, there are of course some negative reviews as well.

But, it’s important to distinguish between reviews from real Meticore users vs. reviews from those who bought a potentially lower quality, imposter product.

As advances continue to be made in the science and technology industries, the world of natural health continues to advance as well. We can expect growing evidence that shows the effectiveness of plant-based nutrients as well as herbal extracts. This is more important than ever, as more consumers are seeking all natural products.

On the official Meticore website, you’ll find many stories from users who have had amazing results using the supplement. When taken as directed, this product can help people meet their weight loss goals and can even target those areas of stubborn fat.

But as mentioned earlier, don’t expect the pill to do all of the work. In order to get best results from Meticore, you must follow a healthy diet along with routine exercise. It’s also important to be patient! It takes time to get the metabolism revved up and working as it should.

Metabolism is the biggest energy production regulator in the body and is impacted by many different factors, including hormonal imbalances. The body’s biochemistry is delicate, so give it the time it needs to restore and regulate to healthy levels.

Supplements like Meticore work as catalysts, giving the body the boost it needs to help it reach optimal levels. This includes metabolism and other physiological systems.

All in all, when Meticore is taken as directed and is combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, it can produce life-changing results! This product stands as one of the most highly recommended fat burners for 2021 and beyond.

If you’re looking for a customer-focused company that offers an effective fat burning supplement that can help you meet your weight loss goals, look no further than Meticore. This all natural supplement is sure to give your body the boost it needs so that your metabolism works better than ever before, which enables your body to burn fat more efficiently.

There’s no quick path to weight loss. Even the Meticore website advises consumers to lower their dosage of Meticore if they begin to lose too much weight in too short of a period of time. We think that users who want to maximize their weight-loss potential target a total weight loss rate of one or two pounds per week. Anything more can be both unhealthy and unsustainable. Hopefully, the ingredients in Meticore’s formula can help you to speed up your metabolism. When combined with exercise and dieting, Meticore can provide you with the weight loss progress you’ve always wanted.

Meticore Reviews : Conclusion

Meticore is a fat burning weight loss supplement that works by raising the core body temperature in order to speed up metabolic rate. In turn, this enables the body to burn unwanted, stubborn fat that may not go away with diet and exercise alone.

With the ingredients used in Meticore don’t work individually to boost the metabolism, together they work very effectively, as shown in the hundreds of reviews for the supplement. What’s even better is that there is tons of research that supports each ingredient’s ability to improve bodily functions.

The entourage effect of ingredients sets Meticore apart from the dozens of other fat burning weight loss supplements on the market. There is also a lot of research that proves that as we get older, our metabolic rate decreases. By consuming a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, this and other impacts of aging can be reversed. Meticore is chock full of these health-boosting ingredients!

Let’s face it; there’s no price tag you can put on personal health and overall well-being. If you’re willing to spend $40-$60 on a daily supplement, Meticore fits nicely into your budget. New customers can buy with complete confidence because of the brand’s 60-day money back guarantee.

This means you can try Meticore for two months, and if it doesn’t provide the benefits and results that you want, you can send back the empty bottles and receive a full refund, minus shipping costs.

How to Lose Weight Faster, But Safely

https://linktr.ee/fitness1234

Lose 5 pounds in one week! It's a trope we see everywhere. And while it’s possible that someone can lose that much (if not more) in that time period, it really depends on your metabolism and loads of other factors, including physical activity and body composition, all of which are entirely unique to you.

Weight loss ultimately comes back to the concept of calories in, calories out: Eat less than you burn and you’ll lose weight. And while it’s possible to lose water weight quickly on a low-carb diet, I certainly wouldn’t advocate for it. The diet itself can trick you into thinking that this eating style is working — when really, you might gain back what you lost as soon as you eat carbs again. That can feel incredibly dispiriting if you want results that last longer than a week.

Based on my experience in nutrition counseling, most of us tend to snack on foods that aren’t nutrient-dense, but are high in calories. For example, skipping sugary beverages is often the easiest way to lose weight faster. You don’t feel full from drinks — even the ones that do contain calories — so swapping those out for sparkling water or unsweetened tea and coffee is the best place to start. Other major culprits often come in refined grains like cereals, chips, crackers, and cookies.

If you're looking to speed up weight loss, I'd also encourage you to be mindful of the foods you eat that you don't choose for yourself. Think: food pushers at work or your kids’ leftovers. Noticing where your extra calories actually come from is another step to making better choices in the short and long term.

In my experience, there are a few other tips that hold true for almost all of us across the board — and they’re concepts that we can put into practice beginning right now.

So, here’s where to start:

1. Eat more vegetables, all of the time.

It’s that simple, I promise! If you think about making any meal mostly veggies (at least 50% of anything that you’re having), you’re on the right track to better health and weight loss.

2. Build a better breakfast.

All meals are important, but breakfast is what helps you start your day on the right track. The best, heartiest breakfasts are ones that will fill you up, keep you satisfied, and stave off cravings later in the day. Aim to eat anywhere between 400 and 500 calories for your morning meal, and make sure you're including a source of lean protein plus filling fat (e.g., eggs, unsweetened Greek yogurt, nuts, or nut butters) and fiber (veggies, fruit, or 100% whole grains). Starting your day with a blood sugar-stabilizing blend of nutrients will help you slim down without sacrifice.

3. Know your limits with salt.

Since salt is a preservative, packaged and processed foods are often highest in sodium — something to keep in mind when planning your meals. When it comes by buying snacks, a "low sodium" product has to be 140 mg or less per serving — so if you're REALLY in a bind, you can follow that guideline for what to put in your cart.

4. Drink more coffee.

Start your day with a cup of joe. Caffeine is a natural diuretic and an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect your cells from damage. You can have up to 400 mg — about a venti Starbucks coffee — daily, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Not much of a coffee drinker? Tea is also a natural diuretic, and types of herbal tea such as dandelion or fennel root can also lend a hand. In fact: When a recent study compared the metabolic effect of green tea (in extract) with that of a placebo, researchers found that the green-tea drinkers burned about 70 additional calories in a 24-hour period.

5. Skip sugary beverages.

We just don't feel full by liquid calories in quite the same way as we do real food. Drinking a juice or caramel coffee drink just isn't as satisfying as eating a bowl of veggie- and protein-packed stir-fry. So monitor your intake of juice, soda, sweetened coffee and tea, and alcoholic beverages. If you consume each of those beverages during the day, you'll have taken in at least 800 extra calories by nighttime — and you'll still be hungry. (Incidentally, alcohol may suppress the metabolism of fat, making it tougher for you to burn those calories.)

6. Buy a set of 5-pound weights.

It's a one-time investment you'll never regret. Here's why: Strength training builds lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories — at work or at rest — 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The more lean muscle you have, the faster you'll slim down. How do you start strength training? Try some push-ups or a few squats or lunges. Use your free weights to perform simple bicep curls or tricep pulls right in your home or office. Do these exercises three to four times per week, and you'll soon see a rapid improvement.

7. Eat spicy foods — seriously!

It can actually help you cut back on calories. That's because capsaicin, a compound found in jalapeño and cayenne peppers, may (slightly) increase your body's release of stress hormones such as adrenaline, which can speed up your ability to burn calories. What's more, eating hot peppers may help slow you down. You're less likely to wolfed down that plate of spicy spaghetti — and therefore stay more mindful of when you're full. Some great adds besides hot peppers: ginger and turmeric.

8. Go to bed.

There's tons of research that demonstrates getting less than the desired amount — about 7 hours — of sleep per night can slow down your metabolism. Plus, when you're awake for longer, you're naturally more likely to snack on midnight munchies. So don't skimp on your ZZZ's, and you'll be rewarded with an extra edge when it comes to losing weight.

9. Keep a food journal.

Loads of research demonstrates people who log everything they eat — especially those who log while they're eating — are more likely to lose weight and keep it off for the long haul. The habit also takes less than 15 minutes per day on average when you do it regularly, according to a 2019 study published in Obesity.

Start tracking on an app like MyFitnessPal or use a regular notebook. It'll help you stay accountable for what you've eaten. Plus, you can easily identify some other areas of your daily eats that could use a little improvement when it's written out in front of you.

10. Take a walk!

Don't get me wrong — exercising at any time is good for you. But evening activity may be particularly beneficial because many people's metabolism slows down toward the end of the day. Thirty minutes of aerobic activity before dinner increases your metabolic rate and may keep it elevated for another two or three hours, even after you've stopped moving. Plus, it'll help you relax post-meal so you won't be tempted by stress-induced grazing that can rack up calories.

11. Resist the urge to skip a meal.

Skipping meals will not make you lose weight faster. If a hectic day makes a sit-down meal impossible, stash a piece of fruit and pack of nut butter in your car or purse and keep snacks in your office desk drawer — anything that will keep you from going hungry!

Going long periods of time without food does double-duty harm on our healthy eating efforts by both slowing down your metabolism, and priming you for another binge later in the day. (Think: You've skipped breakfast and lunch, so you're ready to takedown a whole turkey by dinner!) Make it your mission to eat three meals and two snacks every day, and don't wait longer than three to four hours without eating. Set a "snack alarm" on your phone if needed.

12. Eat your H2O.

Sure, you certainly need to drink plenty of water to help combat bloating, you can (and should!) also consume high-water content foods. Reach for cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, asparagus, grapes, celery, artichokes, pineapple, and cranberries — all of which contain diuretic properties that will also help you stay full due to their higher fiber content.

13. Munch on mineral-rich foods.

Potassium, magnesium, and calcium can help to serve as a counter-balance for sodium. Foods that are rich in potassium include leafy greens, most "orange" foods (oranges, sweet potatoes, carrots, melon), bananas, tomatoes, and cruciferous veggies — especially cauliflower. Low-fat dairy, plus nuts, and seeds can also help give you a bloat-busting boost. They've also been linked to a whole host of additional health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, controlling blood sugar, and reducing risk of chronic disease overall.

14. Ignore the gimmicks.

At any given time, there are dozens of weight-loss hypes in the marketplace that claim to take off 10 pounds in 10 days, or whatever. Desperation can tempt us to try anything — from "clean eating" to cutting out food groups entirely. Keep in mind: Just because an avocado-kale-salad dripping in coconut oil is deemed "clean" by a so-called "expert" on your Instagram feed does not make it an unlimited food. Moral of the story? Avoid fads, eat real food, watch some Netflix, and unwind (perhaps with a glass of wine in hand). Now that's my kind of detox.

15. Let yourself off the hook.

You already know that a perfect diet doesn't exist, but many of us still can't resist the urge to kick ourselves when we indulge, eat too much, or get thrown off course from restrictive diets. The problem: This only makes it more difficult, stressful, and downright impossible to lose weight. So rather than beating yourself up for eating foods you think you shouldn't, let it go. Treating yourself to about 200 calories worth of deliciousness each day — something that feels indulgent to you — can help you stay on track for the long haul, so allow yourself to eat, breathe, and indulge. Food should be joyful, not agonizing!

Putting Your Money Where Your Research Is

So my wife and I are starting a business selling all the Ketogenic Diet related things that we wish there was already a website for. We've been eating keto for a couple of years now and it has had a huge impact on our health and our lives. My wife has lost a huge amount of body fat and overcome multiple metabolic issues and I've been able to stop taking immunosuppressants for Crohn's Disease and am now completely drug free. We both have hugely increased energy levels. There are loads of great Keto and Low Carb blogs in the world, so I thought long and hard about writing yet another one, but I thought that a) it might help me to get more clarity on certain issues b) give me reason to experiment a bit more with my meals, as I've gotten a bit lazy of late and everyone loves a recipe, and c) force me to consolidate all I have learned from reading various bits of scientific literature in relation to nutrition, which is something I do a lot given my past as a scientist, engineer and science teacher. While my background isn't medicine, I have spent the last few years educating myself on biochemistry. This was originally to help my wife with various issues (many of which a plan to go into at a later date), but I quickly discovered that there was a lot more I could learn.   

I, like most scientifically minded or "sceptical" (there's a word that's been seriously corrupted by the internet) people, thought I knew all there was to know about nutrition: a calorie is a calorie, an energy deficit is all you need to lose weight, and no, you aren't fat because of your hormones. I went at least a little further than most; I understood how digestion worked and that starches ended up as glucose in the body, a message some medical professionals still seem to have trouble with. Nonetheless, it came as a shock to me when all this stuff didn't seem to work for my wife. I was seeing how little he was eating, how hungry she was getting and how difficult it was for her to shift those fat stores. Her pregnancy was a major turning point. PCOS had been mooted before but it was never confirmed until a scan ended up with the radiographer saying “Your ovaries look a little polycystic to me”. This was followed a number of weeks later by a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes, accompanied by the standard advice – eat regular meals (six per day plus snacks) and make sure you have loads of carbohydrate at each – accompanied by the offer of medication. Well, we were both determined that that wasn’t going to happen, so I set about researching, which is what I do best (well, one of two things, but we’ll come to the other much later). The obstetricians could not believe her blood sugar readings – they were better than most non-diabetics. One of them even asked to see the glycometer, as such low readings could not be possible. How did we do it? By ignoring all the advice we were given, reducing carbohydrates to a very low level (although not keto levels at that point) and using a small number of carefully researched supplements. We didn’t mention the supplements to any medical professional; we had enough patronising advice from them, but it was following the science that allowed my wife to avoid medication and to produce a daughter who was born incredibly healthy and with a great start in life.

I don’t want to criticise the medical community too much, most of them are only trying their best, but there is a certain amount of arrogance which tends to come with being a doctor, which often is not concomitant with their intelligence or knowledge. Just as in any other field of endeavour, ability as a medical practitioner is on a bell curve. In other words, there are a few who are fantastic at their jobs, a few who are truly awful, and most are pretty much middling in ability. I’ve taught students who became doctors, and if I were ever given an appointment with them, I’d run a mile! Most doctors follow the guidelines, and it’s a lottery as to whether you get to see the occasional few who do enough research in the right areas to go beyond that. If we educate ourselves to a high enough level, we may be able to help our doctors to help themselves and then eventually to help everyone else.

So back to the story. So this whole pregnancy episode got me really intrigued. Was everything I knew actually complete bullshit? I had spent around close to 300 hours during Hayley’s pregnancy reading papers and getting familiar with the biochemistry and biology of nutrition, and countless more hours not sleeping but thinking about what I had read. It completely changed my attitude to my own knowledge. It had also deeply concerned me. How could everyone have been so wrong on this for so long? Well, it turns out that they absolutely could be, and the reasons are complex and too long for now (stay tuned for a post on this precise subject), but there was something else that intrigued me.

I have Crohn’s Disease. For those of you who don’t know, Crohn’s Disease is an autoimmune disease of the gastrointestinal tract. What this means is it causes inflammation, ulceration and pain, anywhere from the mouth to the anus. It is essentially when your own immune system decides that your gut is a foreign object and therefore needs destruction. My own Crohn’s was mainly confined to the colon, although I also got very large and painful mouth ulcers. Crohn’s is usually treated with steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, which damp down the immune system, and a more recent sort of therapy called biologic therapy. I had been a biologic many years ago, but I was fairly lucky in that I was OK on just anti-inflammatories and immunosuppressants, however the immunosuppressants were not pleasant. I got every illness going. If I got a cold, I had it bad for two weeks, including having to spend a day or two in bed. I had got to the end of my tether; there had to be another way.

Enter ketone bodies. So if you know anything about ketogenic diets you probably know that when you restrict carbohydrates enough that your body starts to use fat to create substances called ketone bodies, the most important of which for human metabolism is a chemical called Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Well, it turns out BHB has a strong anti-inflammatory effect. “Aha,” I thought to myself,” This might be worth a go”. It was. I had tried to come off medication several times previously, under medical supervision, of course. Always, within about six weeks, I would have a serious and painful relapse. Not this time. I bit the bullet, stopped my medication (this time without telling any medical professionals) stopped the carbs and waited, fully expecting the usual relapse. It’s now been two years drug free and I have never felt better. I would go as far as to say I have no symptoms of Crohn’s. While I would hesitate to say all Crohn’s sufferers should do this, especially the way I did it, it might be worth a try if you’ve had enough of the side effects of your drugs, or if you can’t get any relief and just want an extra bit of help. With medical supervision, of course. It might also be worth a try if you have any other autoimmune disorder, such as ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus and maybe even multiple sclerosis. Please don’t take this as medical advice but try to educate yourself and your medical practitioners as much as possible on this subject. If you want any help in this endeavour please let me know.

Well, this has been a long and rambling story, but we’re almost up to date. Since my discoveries I have helped a number of friends and family members send their type 2 diabetes or prediabetes into remission, lose weight and become healthier, both physically and mentally. My wife is slimmer, healthier and feels generally better. I didn’t even realise I had fat to lose but the recent appearance of my abdominal muscles seems to confirm that I actually had a fair bit to get rid of. All by getting rid of refined sugar, starchy carbs and the vast majority of processed foods, and getting BHB levels up. Do I think that everyone should be doing keto? Absolutely not. Everyone’s biology is unique – some people will respond fantastically to a ketogenic diet, some people will get less than nothing from it. But for those for whom it works it is life changing. Hopefully via the website, this blog and the planned videos we will be able to help more people get what they need out of this incredibly powerful dietary intervention. 

TL;DR: For lots of people Ketogenic Diets are awesome. Welcome to Ketopian.

I keep forgetting that I’m meant to treat my CBD oil and vitamins I take as my medication...

As in I forget to take them at the same time every day and then wonder why they don’t work so well on the days I take them late or forget them entirely. Like I know I’m meant to treat them that seriously. But it just seems to happen that I mess up on taking them at regular times.

I’m not really sure how to stick to a schedule consistently. I seem to manage ok briefly and then it all collapses and not having my CBD oil & vitamins at the correct time has a knock on effect to everything else meaning it becomes even harder to even try to stick to any schedule.

And its not like its a complicated schedule. Its literally just to be up at 10am and to take my vitamins and CBD oil with breakfast, preferably before 11am. Don’t have to be dressed before then - pjs are fine to get something to eat (or all day. I may wear them most of the time except bed time so...) & I always have a glass of drink next to my bed at night just so there is something to drink in the morning without getting up too.

But I’ll still forget to take them until later which means that it messes up everything else. I take high strength vitamin D as most people in my country are somewhat deficient in vitamin D just due to it not being very sunny here and I very very very rarely even leave the house. So yeah, need to take those. If I take them at 10am-11am then that seems to give my body enough time to use the vitamin D to help with melatonin production which then in turn helps regulate my sleep cycle a bit. If I take them later in the day, then everything is delayed to the point that I don’t feel tired enough to go to bed when my boyfriend does, so he’ll go up first and then because I have zero time perception, and terrible task switching ability, I end up staying up unreasonably late. So like now its nearly 6am. Not gone to bed yet. Both yesterday and today I ended up taking my tablets later than is best for me - closer to 3pm. And since taking them at 10am means I can usually feel tired enough to go to bed by 11pm, taking them around 3pm delays that and you get to now kind of times where if it were summer, it would already be light outside.

I keep thinking that there is no way my combo of stuff I take is really helping me all that much, but then I’m shown that it really does when I mess up the timing. Which makes it harder to avoid messing up the next timing.... Like they’re not even to try to fix any executive dysfunction issues. I take the CBD oil to help treat my bipolar disorder (I have not had a serious manic or depressive episode since I started taking it which has been incredible as I had no such luck on any of the antipsychotics or mood stabilisers or SSRIs I was trialled on before - they just made me physically ill on top of mentally ill & certainly did not stop psychosis). Its also helped reduce my anxiety and somewhat reduces my sensory issues. Not totally, meltdowns can still happen, but its increased my threshold which is nice. I take cod liver oil to help with my joints and its supposed to be good for staving off depression, so for that too. Then I take vitamin D because I’m deficient in it, so have to keep my levels topped up (interestingly, if I miss a day & take two the next, I do tons better, so perhaps I’m actually more deficient than I originally thought). Then finally I take vitamin B tablets for the energy, metabolism boost, and its also helped my nails so that’s nice (I like to paint them because its stimmy in so many ways).

I don’t really know where I’m going with this and its already so long. Just I wish I had some level of control over my ability to tell the time, follow schedules even very simple ones and just in general feel like less of a shitty human. Oh yeah and if my joints could please stop being so clicky clacky and just stay put where they are meant to, and if my muscles could please relax for just once in their miserable life that would be nice too. *grumbles in old*

“preceding research did now not find a hyperlink to creativity in the past,” she told healthline. “creativity is so very private, though exciting, i’m now not sure what the link might be to have caffeine effect that.”

it became sudden to andy de santis, a registered dietitian and weight reduction expert.

“i’ve written and appeared into the proof on caffeine on numerous occasions, and my knowledge of the high-quality to be had science was continually that, at the same time as caffeine can offer stronger attention and recognition, there may be tons less convincing proof it’s going to make you higher at making difficult choices or sporting out greater complex responsibilities,” he advised healthline.

“for me, based totally on what i’ve visible previously, it’s unsurprising that creativity falls into that 2nd category, and that’s not to mention this look at definitively closes the e-book on caffeine and creativity either,” de santis added. Be cautious with caffeine the have a look at turned into carried out with the equal of simply one cup of strongly brewed espresso. Healthline spoke with professionals to decide whether or not a certain quantity of caffeine in the eating regimen starts having an inverse effect.

“yes, without a doubt,” says de santis. “there may be something called the yerkes-dodson regulation, which essentially says that a courting exists between stimulation and overall performance.”

the connection is one of diminishing returns. Here’s how it works.

“so caffeine, manifestly, gives stimulation,” de santis said. “in turn, that stimulation has the capability to beautify an individual’s paintings or exercise performance, specially if fatigue is causing a performance detriment.”

“but that relationship most effective works up to a positive important factor, beyond which overstimulation (i. E., too much caffeine) surely detracts from our overall performance by way of making it tougher to consciousness,” he explained. Absolutely everyone’s one-of-a-kind the edge is one of a kind for every body.

“this one certainly relies upon plenty on genetics,” says kirkpatrick. “for example, a few human beings are speedy metabolizers of caffeine, at the same time as others are slow.”

“the determining thing lies inside the cyp1a2 gene that has been studied considerably,” she said. “for slow metabolizers, excess caffeine can be lethal.”

“speaking in extra general phrases, all of us react otherwise to caffeine, so i'd think that this will be no distinct,” kirkpatrick explained. “alertness and increased power could both be probably impacted by way of your private metabolism of caffeine.”

you realize your body exceptional, so pay attention to what it’s pronouncing.

“maximum folks recognize how we react to caffeine,” stated kirkpatrick. “some of my sufferers have six-plus cups a day, at the same time as others can’t have a couple of cup of espresso.”

Conclusion:

“in case you sense jittery, frightened, can’t sleep at night because of coffee consumption, it might not be the proper stimulant for you,” she brought. But, in case you tolerate caffeine and use it as a overall performance enhancement, de santis says it’s possibly adequate to drink a bigger amount of coffee.

“there is no proof to signify caffeine inhibits creativity, so i’m not certain we need to make an excessive amount of of it,” he said.

Life without COFFEE

Although I am not one of those people who find themselves unable to work in the morning without daily caffeine intake,

I love the warm kind that makes me feel the happiness that coffee provides me. Life is full of delicate pleasures, as I like to call it, and coffee is one of my countries. However, as I write this, I am about to start my (fourth) experience "A Month Without Coffee". Well, it's not a big experiment, but it's more of a "habit" control. I used to drink up to six cups a day in January, and for me, this is too much. People just say, drink less. No need to give it up completely. Why are you doing that? She loves coffee. I love coffee. I love coffee! It is not bad advice. When giving up caffeine, or any other addictive substance, it is advised to reduce it gradually rather than absolutely nothing to minimize withdrawal symptoms... but I can't do that. I am not an "admin". All or nothing, I find it easier this way. So I'm going to go from six cups today, to zero tomorrow, and that's how you'll stay for the next 28 days. I think you can change your habits by knowing what drives your behavior. Take a few seconds to ask yourself why you're about to drink something. You always have a reason why you should make the choices you make, and when you drink a lot throughout the day, paying attention to whether this reason is productive or unproductive for your health is worth doing. I think of 4 reasons why I chose to choose coffee. Socially (Meet a friend for coffee) - For warmth - For strategic reasons (just before training) - For fun (I just love coffee time) I am sure you have other reasons to add it. "Addict" was not shown on my list, as I do not think I am "addicted" or "dependent" on coffee, or anything else in this regard. I think another reason to give up is not only due to serious health considerations, but also to prove to myself that coffee is not controlling me, I choose to drink it, and it can stop at any time. All I have to do is replace my coffee with a drink that rewards me in the same way, and this is much better for my health. Another way to control what you drink is to look for signs that make you choose: a specific time of day (such as morning), a particular place (such as Starbucks), when you are with certain people (for example your co-workers), or emotion (such as feeling tired) ), Or ritual behavior (such as waking up with coffee). Caffeine cut, but not ritual! Delicious alternatives that I will share with my caffeine habit: Lemon Juice and Warm Water: Warm water and lemon help detoxify the liver and kidneys from caffeine and the overload of coffee caused by the system. Herbal Tea (Caffeine Free): Peppermint is a stimulant, good for digestion while chamomile is soothing, good for stress and migraine headaches. Root tea: Licorice is useful to support the kidneys in times of stress and is a natural stimulant and ginger that helps mild headaches and digestion, as it is naturally stimulating. What happened the last time you did this? My memories were of the first few days of a very severe headache that peaked from day two to day four. After that, it was easy, and even when the 30 days were up, I didn't know if I wanted coffee or not. I found alternatives that are now part of my daily nutrition and have seen no rush to come back. But since I had never intended to give up coffee completely, slowly but surely, I crept into my work routine. Some days it was three, four others, five or six, depending on my location. Caffeine, like any drug that has different effects on different people, as I discovered, is linked to specific genes. Common symptoms are irritation, dehydration, fatigue, muscle tension, nausea, constipation, and lack of focus. Reducing withdrawal caffeine weakens adrenal, and liver functions and the acidic effect of coffee on the system can gradually deplete the body's general ability to flush out toxins and maintain an appropriate acid balance. By getting rid of caffeine, your body will start doing this to remove accumulated toxins and restore adrenal and liver functions. We have many things you can do to help support your system and help detoxify, as well as reduce drag systems. Lifestyle changes to the caffeine vitamin Drink plenty of water, at least 9 cups per day. Get plenty of good sleep. You are playing sports. I will help you detoxify and give you more energy naturally. Steam baths, leather brushes, and English salt baths help pull toxins through the skin. Nutrient foods: Eat foods rich in whole nutrients - fruits, vegetables, legumes, proteins, healthy fats, and grains rich in fiber. Fiber helps transfer toxins from your body and will stabilize the digestion process, which can be disrupted when caffeine is removed. Fruits and vegetables will help reduce the impact of acidifying coffee on the body, and will also help flush toxins out of your system. Avoid processed foods, sugars, and salt as they will cause your body to retain fluids. Add additional fiber supplements, such as flax, chia, or psyllium husk, to help detoxify the liver, kidneys, and intestines. Maca: It is a natural source of amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins and carbohydrates, and helps your body produce energy naturally, without any side effects from adrenal drainage. Add juices or sweets or stir in porridge or milk. Spirulina: a powerful microalga that removes toxins and is a good source of natural energy. It provides many essential nutrients and rare minerals to support your system, and it is surprisingly rich in protein. Add to green juices or in tablet form. Supplements when giving up caffeine (and adrenal gland) The liver is responsible for breaking down caffeine from the body. It is advisable to take a dietary supplement to assist it during this detoxing process. These include: Milk thistle magnesium Calcium Potassium zinc B vitamins Vitamin C So, because it seems, the foremost of the items I like to recommend to attenuate the effect of withdrawal symptoms, I do daily anyway, so apart from the standard behavior, I expect it to be relatively painless. The next question was, why? If I like coffee such a lot, why did you spend 28 days without it? In any case, the superb coffee for you... or is it? Yes and No. Thousands of studies need to be conducted on the consequences of caffeine over the past fifty years, one against another. The consensus seems to be that moderate (high-quality) coffee consumption is often more beneficial in many health indicators than none in the least. But what's "moderate". Again, the research varies counting on what you read, but the range appears to be between 300-400 mg of caffeine, as a maximum per day. It equates to 3 to four cups of coffee (depending on strength and size). Other reports recommend a maximum of two. As I said earlier, caffeine has different effects on different people, so it's difficult to answer. While I drank up to 6 each day and drank caffeine from other things, albeit in small amounts (from dark chocolate), it had been time to rest my body. The dangers of excessive caffeine in your system Calcium Caffeine causes calcium to be excreted within the urine and feces. For each 150 mg of ingested caffeine, approximately 5 mg of calcium is lost in one cup of coffee. This effect occurs even hours after consuming caffeine. Caffeine also blocks the quantity of calcium that's absorbed through the intestine and drains the amount kept by the bones. Tons of studies have shown that ladies who consume a better amount of caffeine have more hip fractures than those that avoid caffeine or drink moderately (1 to 2 cups per day). Vitamin D Caffeine blocks vitamin D receptors that limit the quantity which will be absorbed. Because vitamin D is essential in absorbing and using calcium in bone building, this will also reduce bone mineral density, which results in an increased risk of osteoporosis. iron As everyone knows, caffeine interferes with the absorption of iron from the body, which is essential for the assembly of red blood cells—drinking caffeine at an equivalent time because the iron source can reduce intake by up to 80%. Any caffeinated drink must be separated from iron-containing foods or supplements for a minimum of one hour. B vitamins As is understood, caffeine features a mild diuretic effect, which increases urination. Water-soluble vitamins, like B vitamins, are often depleted as a result of fluid loss. Additionally, it interferes with the metabolism of some B vitamins, like thiamine (Vitamin B1). The sole exception to the present rule seems to possess vitamin B12. It plays the catalyst role for caffeine to supply stomach acid, which helps the body absorb vitamin B12. Vitamins and other minerals All Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients for normal cell function. Since it must be absorbed from the bloodstream to be effective, anything that impedes this process can cause the body to not getting enough nutrients. Caffeine can reduce the absorption of manganese, zinc, and copper. It also can increase the secretion of magnesium and potassium, sodium and phosphate minerals. There's also some evidence that caffeine interferes with the action of vitamin A. Your skin looks older. Skin needs tons of water to seem plump and glowing. But coffee may be a diuretic, which inspires your body to flush out water. If you drink tons of coffee, your skin may look dehydrated. If you flood your body with caffeine, this suggests that your systema nervosum has entered into an endless state of artificial stimulation. Therefore the skin is your largest organ and wishes oxygen-rich blood. When the body is in tension, it responds by directing the foremost oxygenated blood towards the guts and lungs. Therefore the skin isn't well-nourished. The systema lymphaticum, which removes waste, also doesn't function efficiently, leaving the skin slow and susceptible to burst. Cellulite Coffee can even be utilized in many anti-cellulite creams - applied to the skin from the surface, and toxins stored in fat cells are allegedly extracted to scale back cellulite - but this doesn't mean that drinking it'll have an equivalent positive effect. Coffee-induced dehydration encourages the skin to congest and solidify and to make a dense network that results in cellulite. Feel bad breath Like alcohol, coffee dries your mouth, and as a result, the quantity of saliva that rinses your mouth and fights bacteria decreases. We All Know that Caffeine can turn yellow teeth just like the same way as nicotine roll in the hay from cigarettes as coffee contains tannins, which are plant compounds that give coffee flavor. Coffee is extremely acidic, which over time can break down the enamel on the surface of the teeth. Diuretic effect You can't drink quite three cups of coffee each day features a diuretic effect on the body, because it interferes with the hormones that regulate our water balance. It leaves us dried and makes the urine more concentrated and acidic, which results in inflammation of the bladder walls and even results in painful urination and cystitis. Keep in mind that it takes five to 12 hours for the body to urge obviate caffeine, and once you sleep within the bed, you'll still be unable to sleep. Once washed away, coffee makes sleeping lighter and more annoying. It's because caffeine interferes with the assembly of melatonin, which helps us sleep. Every day is bad for the hair. Caffeine has been found to flush out vital minerals, including those needed for healthy hair growth, outside the body. Our body needs an honest supply of some vitamins and minerals for a reasonable condition of hair and pigmentation, including biotin, selenium, zinc, and copper. If we consume tons of coffee, this may affect our metal stores, which can hurt the condition of hair, including luster and texture. Metal loss may cause hair loss and premature greying. One of the most reasons for pre-menopausal hair loss is low iron levels and occasionally affects their absorption. Copper is believed to contribute to hair pigmentation so that any deficiency may cause premature greying. Insulin sensitivity decreases Regular consumption of caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity, making it difficult for your cells to reply appropriately to blood glucose. High blood glucose levels cause arterial degeneration and an increased risk of disorder. The acidity of coffee Coffee acidity is related to digestive discomfort, indigestion, heartburn, and intestinal disorders. addiction Addiction is usually a drag with coffee drinkers and makes it difficult to believe the body's natural energy source. Low levels of serotonin A component of the neurotransmitter serotonin referred to as the happy chemical present within the urine tends to be high in coffee drinkers, which suggests they'll be in danger of low levels of serotonin synthesis within the brain. Serotonin is essential for healthy sleep, bowel function, mood, and energy levels. It's a vicious circle because caffeine can disrupt sleep and promote anxiety and depression. We all know someone who tends to urge tired, wired and quit caffeine! Lots of reasons to chop back, or in my case, you've got an opportunity from caffeine altogether. It's essential to notice that a lot of the issues mentioned above relate to excessive caffeine consumption. I've also read tons of research on how moderate amounts can benefit our health and more if you drink at strategic times throughout the day. It's been linked to a lower risk of affected by Alzheimer's and paralysis agitans, for instance. Can you hand over your coffee? If you think that you cannot hand over coffee, re-evaluate. It's only a wise experience to understand what it seems like to measure your life on your fuel. Safely remove coffee and caffeine from your system and see how you handle the high energy! It'll not kill you. Sometimes we hold close our vices so severely that we convince ourselves that life would be miserable without them. For the first few days, I admit, I miss the smell and taste of my coffee, especially the first day of the day but these feelings soon disappear, and that I have gained a replacement appreciation for herb tea and roots. Remember that we control our habits. Getting something may be a big lesson in breaking addictions and forming new habits. You'll convince yourself that you directly are managing, and you'll choose and stick with it. This is often something you'll know.

So because I can, I’m going to basically pick and choose from various vampire canons in terms of lore, abilities etc. to create my particular preferences for my oc Alexander.  ATM, they go as follows:

he can walk about in sunlight for very limited amounts of time if he is fully fed, otherwise unharmed, mainly because of his extensive age, but we’re really only talking minutes rather than hours - it is not a pleasant experience and it’s really only a parlor trick he pulls out when he absolutely has to make an appearance or has a meeting that cannot be otherwise handled / postponed / etc. he can last about fifteen minutes before suffering external trauma after twenty minutes it’s noticeable to most anyone and while he could probably survive being stuck outside for a full day it would take years and ridiculous amounts of blood to restore his health unless some other magical intervention or extremely powerful blood was available to heal him.  (i may opt for him having a daylight / daywalking ring or brooch or necklace at some point later but i haven’t quite decided).

he has super speed, strength, agility, has skin that is extremely hard to penetrate but not impossible, he can climb walls and leap extreme distances, he is capable of moving at speeds impossible for the human eye to track and he can fly but does not change shapes or turn into a bat or smoke etc.

he does not have to sleep in the earth, or in a coffin, but he does have earth of his homeland in most of his permanent estates and does have sunlight proof /fire proof rooms below ground in most of them as well, and does have things like sun proof windows / curtains / shutters etc. installed in his many residences.  when traveling he has safe guards like his own curtains to hang in his rooms, will sleep under the bed or in closets etc. if necessary.  

he can glamour / hypnotize / command people to his control, to make them do anything for the most part, he’s only met a few in his 4000 years that have been able to resist him.  he cannot glamour other vampires unless they have fed on his blood / are off his bloodline.

he can create ‘ghouls’ aka humans or animals that feed on his blood and this allows him to better control them, manipulate them, for them to sense his intentions and desires if the bond is strong enough, to know if he is in danger etc. extended exposure to his blood concretes the bond of ghoul to master to the point that they would do anything to protect him / to make him happy (renfield etc.) even killing themselves or loved ones to keep him safe.  this bond also allows him to sense their emotions, if it goes on long enough to read their thoughts.  the humans / animals that feed on his blood become stronger, faster, more intelligent, require less sleep, have more stamina, heal faster, etc. the blood is an addiction and can lead to some detrimental side effects if he with holds it or if the ghoul is unable to be fed for some other reason - he often has stashes of his blood stored in his estates for servants or his current paramour in case he doesn’t return before they need a ‘refill’ - usually once a month is enough to maintain / further strengthen the bond.  

he does have a soul per se but if his humanity / attachments to the world lessen beneath a certain level then it’s pretty much the same as turning off humanity or losing his soul and it takes about four times as much effort to creep up that ladder back towards ‘human’ than it does to fall down the ladder.  he’s gone up and down over his many years but very rarely has he succumbed to the darker nature of his species for long.  he prefers to hover at a middle ground, being more immoral than evil, content to linger in the very murky grey, neither very good, nor very evil.

he can eat human food and drink but it does nothing to sate his actual hunger.

he can survive quite some time without blood because of his age but he relishes in the act of feeding and will usually feed at least once a night because… he can.  a few drops of his blood on the wound seals the bite marks and a quick glamour makes the victim forget all about it.  he rarely kills anymore unless it’s necessary to protect himself, his property, etc. or if he’s entirely too riled up - though that’s a fairly rare occurrence.

his eyes are preternaturally dark, but usually that’s just written off as one of his traits - they can gleam a crimson sheen when he’s feeding or extremely angry or lustful etc. but it isn’t something most people see, or would notice unless looking for it specifically.

his fangs retract and protract at his behest, he has four elongated upper canines and two elongated lower canines.  

to create a childer he must drain them to the point of death and feed them his own blood, then bury them in the earth and wait for them to rise.  

a stake to the heart, prolonged exposure to fire or sunlight, beheading are the most efficient ways to kill him though he’s survived quite a long time and is faster and stronger than most of his species, especially the modern generation whose blood has been so diluted / weakened over the millennia.  each generation of vampire created is a little bit ‘less’ than the one before it etc.

garlic, holy water, silver, crosses etc. have no effect on him.

yes he can have sex, no, he can’t father children biologically though he has adopted and raised children throughout the ages.

he casts a reflection & can be caught on film / photography / video.

he is affected by drugs, alcohol, poisons but on a much, much, much smaller degree than humans because his metabolism is practically nonexistent as he doesn’t actually absorb human food or drinks.  the only things that his body can actually absorb are blood, so anything that might mingle with his blood has a very, very minor effect on him.  human diseases by and large do not effect him as his blood is strong enough and powerful enough to simply eat away at any imperfections in any blood he might drink.  he can become affected by drugs and alcohol in the system of the humans / other vampires he feeds off of and if he’s looking for an actual buzz / high he’ll go find someone already intoxicated or drugged to feed off of.  while the buzz doesn’t last as long for him as humans, it still affects him until he has used up / burned through the blood.

he does not have a discernible heartbeat and he does not require breath, though he does breathe.  

while he is not bound by the need for earth from his homeland for normal sleep and recuperation, if he is badly damaged or enters a state of torpor being stored in a casket in the earth from greece or in greece itself does increase his speed of healing.

he can choose to go into a state of slumber for long periods of time, with something of a mental alarm clock that is set for however long he wishes to rest, or until where he slumbers is disturbed, or if a mental call from one of his ghouls awakens him.  upon awakening, depending on how long he was asleep, it takes longer for him to gain clarity and strength and he must ususally feed in greater frequency/quantity than if he has been awake and normally functioning.

he is not immune to binding spells / circles etc. meant for the damned / undead / or if the witch etc. is in possession of his true name - something that he has taken great pains to eradicate from history for predominantly this reason.  he can be controlled via necromancy, though it takes a pretty powerful witch to be able to counter his age / power / natural willpower.  

he has learned mental skills to block minor telepaths but is not entirely invulnerable to them especially if they are powerful or are making a targeted invasion into his thoughts

he does not have any ability to prevent dreamwalkers etc. from entering his dreams and often encounters ghosts and restless spirits in his sleeping thoughts.

I will say that Alexander is susceptible to the effects of vervain as seen in TVD - humans that wear it or imbibe it are protected from his mesmerism and if they’ve drunk it their blood weakens him / if he drinks or eats something with it in it will weaken him though not entirely stupefied etc.

Also he can usually sense other supernatural creatures as being in the vicinity by that prickle at the nape of the neck sensation but if in a crowd etc it won’t be immediately pinpointed. Generally when close enough to catch the persons scent the distinct elements of their blood will at least point him in the right direction - if he’s crossed paths with one he’s identified before. Werecreatures tend to smell like their other form, vampires especially metallic and don’t typically have heartbeats plus other telltale signs that might vary per subspecies (aka a particular verse canon), witches smell like whatever particular element they relate to etc etc. Dragons the same but with a distinct ozone / metallic undertone and so forth. Sirens, mermaids etc smell like the sea. (happy to adapt specifics per other characters canon or preference per thread BTW)

As far as cross canon interactions I am fine with assuming there is more than one species / bloodline of vampires thus resulting in different canons having different weaknesses etc. If Alexanders abilities and powers being different from your characters canon is a problem for some reason feel free to come talk to me I’m sure we can work something out.

Also I’m going to go with the fact that a stake will immobilize him (ie the originals in tvd etc) but it takes fire, sunlight, beheading etc. to actually kill him just because he’s literally fucking ancient.  This allows for more opportunities w/ plots where he might be incapacitated etc. and actually works as a vulnerability imo rather than a bonus.

& If necessary Alexander can burn through stores of his blood for an extreme boost to strength, durability, willpower (to resist torture, supernatural methods of control, to keep his temper in check), to heal faster (useful for enduring sunlight longer etc), to move faster etc. But the cost is pretty poignant and if he burns through too much and his reserves of blood get too low he risks either being forced into unconsciousness with all of its inherent vulnerabilities or full out losing control and going on a rampage until he feeds enough to satiate himself fully.

LARRY KING LIVES LIFE IN OVERDRIVE

Larry King, the rumbling voice of midnight questions, stares at Pat Buchanan, the White House director of communications. King's eyes are intense and prying, his chin is jutted toward the target, his lips are parted to give the impression that he is hanging on every word, about to interrupt but holding back to wait for a gem.

Except for six hours of sleep every 24 hours, Larry King keeps this expression all day and all night.

King's schedule puts demands on his phenomenal energy at an all-time high: He does a daily, hourlong interview show, Larry King Live, for Cable News Network, which reaches more than 300,000 households. He then does The Larry King Show for Mutual Radio, which has been cut back to a live four hours, with the first hour recycled for a five-hour package that reaches 3 million to 5 million people a week. In between these obligations, he writes two newspaper columns. On his slow days, he travels to sports arenas and does color commentary for Home Team Sports -- its audience by mid-June standing at 100,000. Once a month he does a worldwide talk show for the Voice of America and his next guest is scheduled to be Ronald Reagan.

"Certainly I have a weird life. But I like everything I do," says King. At the end of his workday (and night), his companions and staff feel like they just took the red-eye from California in non-reclining seats. Millions of people work two or even three jobs to make ends meet. But, for perhaps the first time in his life, King isn't worried about money. Mutual alone is paying him a reported $2 million on a five-year contract.

Strangely enough, King, 51, never seems to be in a hurry. Lean with a bit of a belly, he moves at the deliberate pace of a batter stepping up to the plate. The voice and metabolism are fed by coffee and cigarettes. He rarely drinks. A long time ago, he mastered naps -- he takes them during the five- minute news breaks on the radio show.

The time is now 11:30 a.m. King already has dressed, taken mucho vitamins and one aspirin -- "because the late Dr. Michael Halberstam told me to" -- worked for an hour on his personality column for USA Today, haggled a bit with an editor on his next book, talked with an insurance company about his daughter's graduation present of a Firebird, and complained that he was missing that night's Orioles game. Before 4 the next morning, he will stop another three times and ask, "Am I crazy?" and then "What is my real complaint? I can't have dinner when I want to, I can't see the KING, F-3

baseball game. But what if I had to be a librarian? No, instead, today I'm going to talk to Pat Buchanan and Harry Blackstone."

This is how he survives.

He eats lunch at Duke Zeibert's, dinner at the Palm. He gets one of his daily calls from his daughter, Chaia King, 17, and his oldest friend, author and consultant Herbert Cohen.

He doesn't prepare beyond his daily consumption of several newspapers, backed up by information from his contacts and his nearly 30 years behind the mike.

"I work with an acquired dumbness, a street dumbness," says King. That means he tries to think about what Joe Citizen would want to know.

From 5 to 9 a.m., he sleeps. He wakes up without an alarm. He tries to nap from 3 to 5 p.m., but the telephone jangles. Sometimes he calls someone personally to ask them to be on the show, such as New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, his first guest on CNN.

It's now 12:15 p.m. King is at his daily table in Duke's in full view of the glass doors. He has ordered coffee and is nibbling on the onion rolls. When his platter of fruit and cottage cheese arrives, he largely ignores it. He talks about his forthcoming book. "Sterling Lord is the agent. He's the kind of guy, you have dinner with him and they remove the plate, you have the crumbs, he doesn't have any. Impeccable," says King.

Bill Aber, the general manager of cable TV's Home Team Sports, tells a King endurance story: "On Wednesday, April 4, 1984, King had done his regular show, then he flew to Cleveland to do a luncheon banquet, then he had to meet us in Baltimore for our kickoff. The game was rained out and at 6 p.m. Larry interviewed celebrities for our party. Then he left at 7 to go to the Capital Centre to do some color on the Caps. Then he did the Wednesday all-night show."

In the last month King spurned offers from every major network and syndicator, says his agent, and renewed his contract with Mutual. The perks include 12 Fridays off and four weeks of vacation each year and a new luxury car every two years. Now he is driving a gray Riviera, on which Mutual put an "L King" vanity license plate, which King hates. Since the phones started lighting up on Jan. 30, 1978, when he was heard on 28 stations, he has built his affiliate stable up to 262 stations. His is the only talk show ever to win the prestigious Peabody Award. In the last few weeks, he signed with CNN for a reported $200,000 over three years. Once that show gets rolling, King says, he will tape a couple of shows a week.

He has had cameos in two movies -- Ghostbusters and Lost in America -- and television will increase his recognition by sight, not just sound. July 12 is King Day in Baltimore. Where once the Mutual show was taken on the road to build up audiences, now it's taken out to satisfy demand. In the next few months it will travel to the All-Star Game in Minneapolis, and to media gatherings in Nashville and Dallas.

It is now 8:15 p.m., the start of his evening's work.

Walking into the television studio, he says, "you got to be pretty weird to be doing radio, television and newspapers. Godfrey used to do it. I'm tired right now but . . . something about that light going on . . . I can't explain it."

Makeup is applied to his face and hands. Then King and Buchanan are facing each other.

At 10:20 p.m. he is at Mutual's studios on the 12th floor of a suburban Virginia highrise. This is home, behind the microphone, checking out the baseball game, doing promotions for a new station. During a commercial break he will do a 2 1/2-minute interview with Harry Blackstone Jr., the magician, for something called Larry King in Focus. On Saturdays the network runs The Best of King.

King has been in one studio or another since 1957, when he moved to Miami after finishing high school in Brooklyn. In Florida he quickly established himself as a radio interviewer, added a newspaper column and did commentary on Miami Dolphins games. But he ran into some well-publicized financial troubles, which forced him to leave broadcasting for four years. In 1979, shortly after taking the Mutual job, he filed bankruptcy for $350,000 in debts. Because of his past financial difficulties, his money is now handled by Bob Woolf, the agent he shares with Doug Flutie, Larry Bird and Gene Shalit. King says he gets a $150 weekly allowance.

Now it's 11:50 p.m. He glances over a press release and talks about his approach.

"You need the ability to listen. A lot of broadcasters don't know how to ask a question. One of my idols, Jimmy Cannon, could pick up every detail but he couldn't ask a question in the locker room. You have to keep it spontaneous, always be curious. I have a good memory, I never expect the answer. I don't think I am a better interviewer than I was at 25. I can relax people."

"Jimmy Hoffa embodies everything you want in an interview, except one thing. You want someone with a chip on their shoulder, passion, a little bit of anger, the ability to relate to the question and to talk about their business. But he didn't have a sense of humor."

At 12:06 a.m., his jacket is off and cigarette dangling. Blackstone is sitting where Gerald Ford, Bob Hope, Dizzy Gillespie, Mel Brooks, Milton Berle, Sophia Loren and scores of others have sat.

At 3:55 a.m. he gets up from the chair, stretches and says he feels really tired. He doesn't hang around the studio. "We have entertained and informed the callers, and we only reach 1 percent of the audience," says King.

He ads: "I don't think much about it. I don't take it home with me."

And he goes home. But he'll be up again in four hours. Making that face.

Should You Really Eat if You’re Not Hungry And Have Constipation?

Constipation usually happens most often due to changes in diet or routine, or due to inadequate intake of fiber.

It’s 8 p.m. and you haven’t eaten since 12 p.m.

You know it’s dinnertime time, but the thing is…you’re not all that hungry. Couple this with the fact that you haven’t really gone to the bathroom since yesterday morning, and the last thing your body is telling you is, “I am hungry.” 

To make yourself eat or not eat when you’re constipated?—That is the question. 

THE (CONSTIPATION & APPETITE) STRUGGLE IS REAL

Constipation induced loss of appetite is real. 

Your regular poop patterns are backed up and it feels like there’s a lot less room in your stomach to eat. 

You wonder if eating another meal will just make things worse, overcrowding your gut even more.

Also, you get hungry, but get full just as fast—as if your body is playing tricks on you (and fights back) when you do eat.

You WANT to eat, but the whole gamble of whether or not you WILL have a golden poo that day is downright exhausting.

Maybe you should just snack? 

Or eat prunes? 

Maybe, sip a smoothie? 

Or eat as normal—and pretend and hope it will all go away?

Aye, aye, aye!

You hate having to think so hard about it. 

You are not alone.

GET THE FACTS

In an ideal world, we’d poop two to three times per day,30 to 60 minutes after every main meal, and move approximately a total of 12-inches of feces out of our body daily *without the use of coffee, supplements, laxatives, colonics, or any other methods). 

However, this is not the case.  

Approximately 99% of people will experience constipation at some time in their life—technically defined as a condition in which you have fewer than three bowel movements a week, or you experience hard, dry and small bowel movements that are painful or difficult to pass.

Constipation can lead to other symptoms as well, including bloating after meals, painful stomach cramps, low energy (1, 2), anxiety, low mood and…loss of appetite. 

Constipation typically doesn’t just come from out of nowhere—like something you’re born with. Outside stressors that contribute include:

Poorly chewed food

Eating too fast or on the go

Low-fat or low-carb diets

Artificial sweeteners

Travel (“traveler’s constipation”)

Eating higher amounts of dry foods (nuts, bars, jerky, gluten-free products)

Antibiotics, birth control, NSAIDS and other medications

Bacterial overgrowth in your GI tract

Low water intake (dehydration) or poor quality water

Not eating enough

Chronic stress (high-intensity workouts, low sleep, anxiety and mental stress)

Sedentary lifestyle or overtraining

Poor or slow GI motility (transit time)

Hormonal imbalances

Food intolerances

Eating too many raw vegetables or dietary fiber at once

  —Just some examples.

With such a wide array of triggers, it’s no wonder that constipation has become a “norm” for many people.

Leaving you with the same dilemma.

Will experiencing “normal” appetite, eating and bowel patterns EVER be in the cards for you?

The short answer: Yes, they can be. 

Just like eating Big Macs and Dortio chips are not technically normal for humans (but have become “normal”), constipation does not have to be your normal either. 

Before we talk about a few ways to help you address your constipation, what should you do when you’re constipated and not hungry?

EATING & CONSTIPATION

The reason why loss of appetite often strikes with constipation is often due to slowed GI-motility—it’s as if food is sitting there, undigested and taking it’s pretty (sweet) time moving through your system.

What causes slow GI-motility?

Multiple factors!

An overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria, low stomach acid, restrictive eating  and/or an irritated intestinal wall can often lead to “sluggish digestion” and consequently, the appetite loss often experienced with constipation. 

When the gut is imbalanced to any degree, this often sets the stage for other imbalances as well—both digestively (i.e. constipation) and nutritionally (i.e. nutrient deficiencies). 

For instance, bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine may find your gut bugs completely happy campers, left feasting and eating residual, fermenting (undigested) food particles in your gut. This signals to your brain that something inside is getting fed, suppressing the hunger signals of otherwise hungry organs and cells, simply because these unhealthy bacteria have put a cap on the “norm” delivery of nutrients throughout your body.

Nutrient imbalances are another side-effect of poor digestion and a trigger for loss of appetite. 

Particularly, those nutrients associated with energy, appetite and metabolism, including: Zinc, low Vitamin B-12 and lowered hormone levels (ghrelin—the “hunger hormone”).

In fact, a 2017 study in the Journal of Neurogastroenterology Motility (Monsinka et al, 2017) found that patients who were given gherlin treatment experienced improved GI symptoms and elimination. 

Another study (Skrovanek et al, 2014), on the effectiveness of zinc for patients with Ulcerative Colitis (i.e. intense IBS), found that healing was positively connected to adequate zinc levels. Zinc is a mineral responsible for appetite regulation. 

Cortisol levels (stress hormones) are another “elephant in the room” that must be addressed with constipation. 

Simply put: When your body is stressed, cortisol gets out of whack.

Imbalanced cortisol not only can trigger constipation itself, but also perpetuate the lack of appetite you may experience with constipation since your body is in the midst of “running from a bear” (for dear life). (And the last thing your body wants to do when it’s stresses is eat while it’s running—Even though you may need to eat). 

INSATIABLE APPETITE & CONSTIPATION

While lack of appetite is the common symptom we’re addressing here, others with constipation experience the opposite—

Regular hunger levels, numerous times throughout the day—only to feel bloated or more constipated shortly after eating, then dipping in energy again two to three hours later, hungry again, eating and perpetuating the cycle.

The hunger is there—but the ability to digest or “handle” the food is not. 

Insatiable or frequent hunger followed by energy dips, fatigue, shakiness, bloating and/or constipation between meals is another direct sign, for some, that your blood sugar is imbalanced and something else is going on underneath the hood (malabsorption, bacterial overgrowth, fungal infection, low stomach acid).

Often times in this case, we are eating, but still starving—our cells and organs are not getting the nourishment they need simply due to the underlying gut imbalance—missing the mark every time.

Additionally, when we eat, we not only eat for one, but for trillions of gut bugs—both healthy and unhealthy.

If we are feeding more unhealthy gut bugs, rather than healthy balanced gut bugs, then our energy supply quickly runs dry—leaving you needing food within a matter of hours, even though you are still constipated. 

SO, SHOULD YOU EAT IF YOU’RE CONSTIPATED?

The short answer: Yes.

Regular, balanced meals (in conjunction with a gut healing approach to your “gut issues”) is the best bet for helping your body heal from GI “issues” over time.

Although you may not always feel like eating—i.e. a growling or an empty stomach—it’s also important to recognize other signs of hunger that can help point you to nourishing your body (even if you’re apathetic to the thought of food).

Feelings like: Fatigue or sleepiness, increased thoughts about food around meal times, sluggishness, difficulty focusing or concentrating, shakiness, headaches, weepiness, and anxious thoughts can be other signs of hunger, and helpful evidence to motivate you to eat enough.

Interestingly, not eating enough food or nourishment for our bodies itself can also perpetuate constipation. 

A study (Chun et al, 1997) of patients with anorexia and severe IBS found that, due to their lack of nourishment, they had a slower colonic transit time. However, when they started eating regular, balanced meals, their colonic transit time increased (i.e. their poop patterns improved).

However, this is not to say that being mindful of and addressing underlying gut issues is still critical.

Other studies of patients with eating disorders—both those with anorexia (lack of appetite) and bulimia (often associated with binge episodes and insatiable appetite)—have found that both populations have a higher incidence of constipation, bloating and other gut symptoms (both pre-and post recovery). 

What this means for you, me and any of the average population? Whether you’re under-eating, over-eating or have ongoing “gut issues” yourself, there is often more to the story of healing from your gut issues than just “eating enough” or “eating the right foods.”

IBS, constipation, and frequent bloating can often stem to several of the GI imbalances we’ve already discussed (bacterial overgrowth, low stomach acid, nutrient deficiencies), and in order to heal, not just have “some relief,” the bigger piece of the puzzle may need to be addressed. 

WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

Healing from chronic constipation is no one-size-fits-all-approach, but here are a few starting points, and tips for eating enough—even when you’re constipated.

1. Address Stress.

The elephant in the room. Do a gut-check with yourself. What stressors are present in your life right now potentially contributing to constipation? Not just mental stress either. The big areas of influence to consider include:How much sleep are you getting? (Ideal: 7-9 hours)How much water are you drinking? (Ideal: Half your bodyweight in ounces of water)

What environmental toxins do you use or come into contact with daily? (Ideal: Least amount as possible. Glassware containers, stainless steel waterbottles, non-toxic beauty and cleaning supplies)?

How much are you moving your body?

(Ideal: Daily movement encouraged, and everyone’s threshold is different, but incorporating balance is essential—strength, conditioning, low-intensity aerobic work-walking, play, and flexibility—not doing the same thing every day)

How do you let it out or connect? (Ideal: Open communication and connection with people close to you in life; meaningful relationships; feeling of belonging)

Where is your fun? (Ideal: Not all work and NO PLAY; Taking time for YOU each week to do things that are fun and enjoyable).

2. Identify YOUR Food Intolerances.

Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it’s “good” for your body (right now). You can be intolerant to broccoli, apples, chicken or kale for all that it matters. Keep a mindful food log for the next 3 days to note how you feel around, before and after meals. (Fun fact: We often crave or think about foods we are intolerant to. This is your gut bug’s way of signaling to you: “Feed me!”)

3. Basics.

Basic gut health is like taking a multi-vitamin or fish oil tablet you’ve been told to take for years (actually BETTER than those). Seeking to support a healthy baseline of gut health may be a missing link if you’re just trying to eat healthy foods alone. This includes:

Drinking enough water.

Chewing your food well.

Taking a quality probiotic supplement

Eating fermented foods and pre-biotic foods.

Bonus: Apple Cider Vinegar (1 tbsp. in water before meals).

4. In-the-Moment Relief.

For those days constipation has ya down, try one of these arsenals:

Yoga sun salutations, moving or going on a walk.

Apple Cider Vinegar (1 tbsp. in water beforemeals)

Ginger tea or kombucha

Sauerkraut—2-3 forkfuls

Squatting—and hanging out there for a minute (or a Squatty Potty)

Mindfully drinking water throughout the day

5. Dig Deep.

Assess and address what else is going on. Make a functional medicine appointment (Austin and Distance appointments available) to figure out whats going on “under the hood” through an assessment and potential lab testing if needed to address the underlying gut issues that have been unresolved

Best Supplements For A Pump & Time To Do Cardio – When is the Best Time to take them?

People often ask ‘When is the best time to do cardio?’  

This is an   extremely popular subject that is asked time and time  again in the world   of fitness and cardio.  In this article we will  discuss when the best   time to do cardio is and explain the pros and  cons of each one. Cardio   without doubt is an important part of any  training routine whether   you’re training for fitness or whether you’re  training for muscle and   size.Cardio will strengthen your heart and lungs, help prevent a  number   of heart problems and diseases, strengthen your leg muscles and    increase endurance levels. Cardio can be performed at anytime of the  day   but which is really the most effective? 

When is the best time to  do   cardio? 

That’s take a look at some of the options:

Best Time to do Cardio – First Thing in the Morning on an empty   stomach?

The best time to do cardio is first thing in the morning on an  empty   stomach according to a lot of people. Gym trainers, Personal  trainers   and even some sports scientists will all tell you that the  best time to   do cardio is first thing in the morning on an empty  stomach. The   reasoning behind these claims is that when we wake up in  the morning our   bodies have gone a good 8 or so hours without food.  This means that   there are hardly any carbs left in our bodies to be  burned/used as   energy.Carbohydrates are your bodies preferred energy source. If you    start exercising, your body will be unable to burn carbs as energy as it    simply hasn’t got any. Research shows that since your primary source  of   energy is not available your body will tap straight into your fat    stores and use this as energy instead. 

Therefore the calories you burn    during your cardio will be coming from fat instead of carbs. Due to  this   theory, many will tell you that the best time to do cardio for  maximum   fat loss is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.There is of course another side to this argument and one which  could   hold a lot of truth. Performing cardio first thing in the  morning on an   empty stomach may burn off   valuable muscle tissue.  Heres the thing. You wake up in the morning after a good 8 or   more  hours without food. Your body is currently in a fasting state and   does  not have a satisfactory amount of energy. What your body needs   right  now is something to eat so it can refuel itself. Instead of doing   this  you choose to put it through a rigorous cardio workout and expend    energy that it doesn’t  have readily available.Two things to note here. When energy   is not readily available  and your body is forced to use an alternate   source this doesn’t  necessary mean it will go straight to the fat. Your body may choose to  burn muscle tissue instead. You don’t want to be burning off muscle    tissue when performing cardio, you want to be burning fat. The other    point worth mentioning is that performing cardio first thing in the    morning on an empty stomach is likely to have a negative impact on your    performance due to your low energy levels and your performance during  your cardio training could be hampered.Above are both sides of what could happen when performing cardio  in the morning. I prefer to perform my cardio first thing in the morning  on an empty stomach. The truth is that even if cardio first thing in  the morning does burn off muscle tissue as well as fat, its likely to be  a very small and insignificant amount. If you are afraid of this  happening then perform your cardio first thing in the morning once you  have consumed a small snack. Get some carbs and protein in   you about  30-40 minutes before your cardio and you can rest assured muscle tissue  will not be burnt.

Best Time to do Cardio – Right Before Weightlifting?

In my opinion the best time to do cardio is definitely NOT before a   workout. If your main goal is to build muscle and strength then   performing cardio before weightlifting should not  be done. If your one   of those performing cardio before your  weightlifting routine then stop.   You will likely see a huge difference  in performance once you do.  Going   all out on cardio before you  weightlifting routine will leave you   feeling weak and tired. Energy  stores will be depleted and you will lack   energy to lift heavy  weights. Cardio will also cause protein synthesis   to drop. Protein  synthesis is your body’s ability to build muscle. If   your performing  your weight lifting routine straight after your cardio   the longer  protein synthesis will be lowered. The longer it is lowered   means the  less time your body can spend repairing and building muscle.You don’t really want this if you’re looking to build quality  muscle   mass. You may now be thinking well what if I perform cardio  earlier on   during the day and then perform my weight lifting routine  an hour or two   later, is this okay? The answer to this is yes but I  still wouldn’t   recommend it. If you are set on doing this then you  will need to take in   adequate nutrition between cardio and  weightlifting sessions to ensure   your muscles get the valuable  nutrients they need to begin the   rebuilding and recovery process.  Energy stores will need to be   replenished and protein synthesis will  need to be elevated. Carbs and   protein should therefore be consumed.  Even if you follow these   guidelines the chances are that your weights  workout will still suffer   and you may not be able to lift to your full  potential.

Best Supplements For A Pump  & Best Time to do Cardio – Right After Weightlifting?

Again I would advise against doing your cardio right after your    weightlifting routine but if you have no other choice then this is far    better than doing it before your weightlifting routine. The reason I  say   that is because when weight lifting your glycogen stores are not    depleted as much as when you do cardio meaning you have a little more    life and energy to exert. This will make your weight lifting workout    more effective than if you did it straight after cardio but this is    still far from ideal.However, by performing your weight lifting routine   first you  can give everything you have into that one workout. What you   can then  do is perform your cardio later on during the day. At least 2   hours  apart if you have the time. Within this time it is again important    that you replenish energy stores and take in a nutritious meal    consisting of carbs and protein. Fats can also be included if desired    but make sure you get a good meal in to help your body get back to its    original state.

Best Time to do Cardio – Later on in the evening/night?

Performing cardio later on in the day at night or early evening  is fine   as long as you have the motivation and energy to do it. A lot  of people   struggle with the fact that they finish work late and then  have to get   home and set out on a grueling 30 minute run. Many would  rather get home   and put their feet up, have something to eat and then  head to bed. If   you struggle to fit cardio into your routine during  the day and are not a   morning person who can get up early and get  their cardio completed and   out the way with, then performing it in the  evening or night is fine as   long as you are motivated to do so. It  can be far more tempting to skip   late cardio sessions thanks to long  and stressful days at work. Chances   are you will be less prone to  doing this if you perform your cardio   earlier on in the day such as  morning or early afternoon if you have the   chance to do so.One other slight downside of performing cardio later on in the  day is   that you don’t experience the full effect of your increased  metabolism.   Your metabolism is the rate at which your body burns  calories. After   cardio your metabolism will be raised for hours  afterwards allowing you   to burn more calories throughout the day even  at rest! If you perform   cardio at night shortly before you go to bed  you won’t be getting the   full benefit. The reason being is that your  metabolism dramatically   drops when you sleep making it less beneficial  than if you had performed   cardio earlier on in the morning. Morning  cardio will raise your   metabolism for the majority of the day giving  you the full benefit of a   raised metabolism.

Final Conclusion on the Best Time to do Cardio

The best time to do cardio is when you are energized and have  your mind   focused towards doing it. The important thing is to make  sure you are   actually doing it. If there is absolutely no way you can  get around   doing cardio before/after your workouts or late at night  then don’t   worry too much about it. It is not ideal but you will still  reap the   many benefits that cardio can bring you. To experience the  most   effective gains from cardio I would recommend you perform it in  the   morning after eating something or on an empty stomach. Preferably  this would also be on a non weight training day but this is not  essential. If you   weight train Monday, Wednesday and Friday then try  your best to fit in   your cardio and running work on the other days you  have free. This way   you can expect maximum performance in both cardio  and weight lifting.The only thing I would say is to watch out for your leg workouts.  If   running a day before your leg workout leaves your legs extremely  sore   and tired only perform a light cardio session on this day. The  same goes   for the day after your leg workout. If your legs are sore  and tired   perform a light session of cardio or alternatively don’t  perform any at   all.  The best results are made when you have the most  energy so bear   this in mind. Getting up early is not actually that bad  once you get use   to it. Get into the habit of getting up early for  your cardio and you   soon won’t have a problem with it. Getting up  early and performing your   cardio will get it out the way with for the  rest of the day, increase   your body’s metabolism throughout the day  and help you burn more   calories making early morning cardio one of the  best times to do cardio.
