Morning Weight 214.4 Total Body Fat: 30% Total Body Water: 48.5% It’s snowing here, but not so much that I couldn’t get to the gym, and on the treadmill. I did 20 minutes – 10 minutes at a zero degree incline, then I gradually upped it to 2.5 degree during the second half – I [...]

Got up before 4am – had my 1 scoop of Nitrean protein powder and was at the gym about 4:10. Did 20 minutes on the treadmill at 4.0 mph – max heart rate 129. Part of me kept longing for the weight-training…that’s something I thought I’d never see myself write. Did 3 circuits: leg press: [...]

Here is the letter sent by the Life Extension Foundation to people who purchased their Irvingia, known as Integra-Lean: Integra-Lean Letter from LEF.pdf I do recommend that if you didn’t get the letter that you read the entire thing, but here’s a really short summary of what I took away from it after a quick [...]
