2 scoops Choc WPC
Method
>In a small bowl add your chocolate but it's a good idea to break up as much of it as possible this will allow it to melt easier/faster
>Once chocolate is broken up add the cream
>Microwave on high for 30 sec
>By this stage chocolate should be partially melted and cream should be softer so give it a stir
>Microwave for another 30 sec
>Chocolate should be completely melted so stir it in completely to make a smooth ganache (microwave for longer if you can't)
>Add 2 scoops protein powder and combine together. It should absorb the melted choc and cream

Mexican beef chill with melted Cracker Barrel and chunky guacamole
Yesterday I cooked off 500g of high fat beef mince with 2 brown onions. Seasoned the mince with chilli flakes, cayenne pepper, oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander seeds, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder with salt and pepper. I also added a bit of tomato paste for a hint of sweetness.
Once the meat was pretty much cooked I added 200ml of water to soften up the onions a bit more. Once the water had completely simmered down I took it off the heat and then stored it in the fridge.
Here's the pre-oven shot
Here it is fresh out of the oven before I added the guac

Good job! I did keto awhile and saw some success; am thinking about trying it again. I have to ask, do you feel like your energy levels are suffering at all during workouts? I seem to have struggled with that in the past.

Yeah I was taking either caffeine and BCAA or a zero carb pre workout supp preworkout. An MCT BCAA and caffeine cocktail would be pretty good too, I used to do all my workouts in the morning so I definitely needed something strong to get me going for heavy lifting days, however if you're working out in the afternoon it shouldn't make any difference.
Keep in mind it can take your body up to 2 weeks to adjust to Keto so don't be put off by a little bit of sluggishness in the early days. I certainly found a bullet proof coffee as a breakfast replacement/first meal of the day helped with both acclimatisation to Keto as your body recognises fats as their only fuel source and kicks up ketone production almost immediately.insta www.instagram.com/strongbanter

Alright so it's been a little while since my last update but things have been tracking along pretty well, I've joined a good gym which I've been getting to 5 times a week and I've built up a pretty good diet routine but I've too regularly succumb to the temptation of alcohol and carbohydrates to see really good fat loss results. I am however very happy with my activity levels and gym work overall so I know improved aesthetics are within easy reach.

Running
As you can see from my polar flow screen shots I've also been doing a fair bit of running. Now I have a gym to call home I've been doing less running but I still really enjoy it so I've been going for 1 run per week. My last 3 runs have also been 3 PBs which I've been pretty stoked with, here's some screen shots from Polar Personal Trainer.
As you can see from the tables as I'm getting faster my average heart rate is decreasing which must be indicating increases to cardio vascular fitness.insta www.instagram.com/strongbanter

Think I might've slightly strained my left rotator cuff yesterday doing DB shoulder press, getting some pain in my bicep (only when I'm exercising, not ongoing during the day) that I'm pretty sure is rotator cuff related (i.e referred pain). Gonna keep on training as normal and just make sure I warm up/stretch the crap out of it before and after exercise.
Frustrating thing is I religiously warm up my rotator cuff (by doing Dumbbell External Rotation With Arm Abducted 90°) before any shoulder exercise but forgot yesterday for some reason.
Will obviously cut down my weight training if I don't start seeing some improvement.insta www.instagram.com/strongbanter

I've decided to start incorporating Leg Work back into my routine, I'm just not getting the rewards I anticipated by running at the expense of any leg work. I'll still look to continue some sort of cardio training but might do a bit more HIIT or lower intensity jogging but I'll find a groove once I'm Squatting and Dead Lifting again.

These 2 articles have been published in the last week in defence of the ABC Catalyst program Heart of the Matter. Seems like a pretty good excuse to repost these videos as they provide an excellent insight into the massive flaws in the current medical dogma on fats, cholesterol and statins.

Did a "recovery style" workout on my pullups because I'm gunning to increase my reps for the pull up challenge I'm participating in, I thought they could do with a softer workout after the massive session I had a few days ago.
