yep, eggs everyday

FFC = 2 tablespoons butter + 2 tablespoons coconut oil + 2 tablespoons MCT oil + 2 tablespoons cream all blended into a cup of coffee, I usually add xylitol to replace sugar

What is MCT oil, and am I understanding correctly that you drink coffee with oil in it? That is so very strange.

Medium chain triglycerides

FFC is an excellent way to get a good dose of healthy fats in. When you whisk it up it's really like an extremely creamy cappuccino
 
Just come from the gym....had a good session. Now getting in my 2nd cup of coffee for the day...

Tomorrow, me and the gym...in the morning...

Please give us an idea of the pricing.
Locally Crede Oils sells virgin organic CO, but even if the quality is top-notch, the price @ R160/litre is hard to swallow.
It's not concentrated MCT/Brain Octane, but VCO is about 2/3 MCT to begin with.
 
Ok so a week of deadlifts, squats, shoulder press, rows and pull downs (im still to heavy to pull ups) has given me 2 extra kgs on the scale. :cry:

Anyway onward and upward to a better me.

Food intake has been purged of the breads and spuds so Im back on track again.

Upgraded MCT is 6 times stronger than coconut oil and is $29. So call it R300 for a liter.
Upgraded Brain Octane is 18 times stronger than coconut oil and is $45, so R450 for a liter.

Shipping is $39.95 for the first two items plus $5.95 for each additional item.

And then don't forget vat & customs.

PS: The upgraded products are either just one or two lengths of medium chain fatty acids. The two most responsible for metabolic & cognitive effects. I thought it was two chains, but the website only seems to list C8, so I'm not 100% sure.

They purify the coconut & palm oil to extract two specific lengths of medium chain fatty acids. If you don't understand the benefits then please refrain from mocking those of us who do.
 
Today is the official start day, if you havent already inboxed me, please send me starting stats. Have been INSANELY busy so sorry I have not been taking part much in the thread. Those that don't submit by this evening will have to be "extras" :D

Will update as soon as I have a free moment, and will start a spreadsheet to keep track of everyone. Please use stats from today. Submitting stats from a month or 2 ago will give you an unfair advantage

Sigh, have been a tad naughty this December, was planning to be good, but sooo many distractions, sigh will weigh in before the end of the day.
 
I'll just post up pics of before and after once I am where I want to be. Stats shmats I say. If anything I want my weight to stay the same...just the bodyfat % to drop :D

Same as me... Also want my weight to increase and bodyfat to drop.

In the last challenge I dropped 2kg by weight, but I went from 17% bodyfat to 12%, so I lost 3kg of fat and gained some muscle.

Okay, I need an offline, PC weight tracking app, that doesn't require me fiddling with spreadsheets.

Any ideas?

I got tired of tracking it manually and bought a Fitbit scale - publishes the results to the web-site and app and synchronises whenever it's online.
