Who here /protein powder diet/?
6-12 scoops, flaxseed oil, and a multivitamin..
>Inexpensive ($130/mo. -- 11lb. of protein is $60-$75. 1 gal. of flaxseed oil is about $50.. A multi is $5.)
>Modular (E.g., increasing calories is a few scoops / some oil; and there's plenty of room for cool herbs and essential oils within a modest budget -- in research, 60g of onion juice increases test by 300%.)
>Simple (probably the quickest, most filling meals on the menu -- protein is used in so much that 1-2g/lb. is *the* solid suggestion. In fact, research states that serotonin/dopamine respond very rapidly to diet.
Notes:
Casein shows a bunch of benefits vs. whey -- increased bone statistics, fat loss (2x), lean mass gains (2x).
A supplement that's probably worth trying is calcium phosphate powder. Calcium is used for neutralizing acidity, which is plausibly beneficial for joint health. Dietary phosphorus is an element in, e.g., energy production.
I also get L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine, with mucuna pruriens (L-DOPA), and a strong antioxidant for dopamine protection (ground cloves). Studies state rapid responses to serotonin, dopamine, etc., from these amino acids.

A study suggests 15g of vitamin C and 1gal. of water. This supposedly supplements the full product of C-making genes.

Wanna know how I know you're gonna gain back all the weight you lose plus more? Living on protein shakes and oil isn't sustainable. It's a crash diet

I'm actually gaining weight on it. I should count the calories, because I couldn't even gain weight on 3k.
What's your actual debating point?

BTW.. K1 / arugula.

Multivitamins are a meme. They hinder each others absorption if you take em at the same time. At least get em separately if you're actually doing this retarded shit.

Wot.
It's getting to the point where a lot are individual..
For testosterone
>magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt -- magnesium oxide has like a 4% absorption rate)
>zinc picolinate
>taking a B vitamin, to funnel tryptophan and for energy
>taking 4x4g vitamin C
>plausibly getting a D supplement

I'm using trimagnesium dicitrate, which gets absorped better than magnesium oxide, and it's also cheap.
But other forms of magnesium can be useful for a number of things.
For example, magnesium glycinate can calm and relax you, helping with sleep.
Magnesium L-threonate has neuro enhancing capabilities.
Sidenote on magnesium oxide: some new studies have found it gets absorbed over a longer period, so the old studies claiming low absorption might not tell the whole story.
