    Best way to eat raw garlic

    Try using raw garlic as a food rather than just a supplement. Chop it finely and add it as a topping to salads or main dishes. Blend it into hummus or pesto. Garlic can be tasty and enjoyable, so you don't have to endure the discomfort.

    Why do some people naturally dislike certain foods, like vegetables, while others don't?

    Some individuals are considered 'super tasters' and often dislike bitter foods such as broccoli and coffee. This is because they have more taste buds on their tongue. This could be a possible reason for some people's preferences.

    Has your appetite decreased?

    Yes, once in a while, I can still eat a lot, but I usually get full from significantly less than what was normal for me. I lost 1/3 of my body weight, plus staying away from junk and empty carbs keeps my appetite way down. Every single time I have ice cream at night, for example, I wake up with...

    Will I gain weight transitioning from a cut to maintence?

    I would honestly stop fixating on 1-2kg of weight. Instead, look in the mirror and see if you are where you want to be. If you reach that point, slowly increase your calories.

    Do you still need to follow a diet if you're using steroids?

    It really depends on your goals, doesn't it? When using anabolic steroids, you'll build and retain more mass calorie for calorie compared to not using them. That's a given. If you're aiming to get lean and shredded, then you obviously need to pay more attention to your diet than if you're just...

    What would happen?

    For me, if my gyno issues flared up, it would be really difficult. It's hard to say what would happen for you, but you wouldn't get much benefit from a single large dose like that.

    What are the healthiest foods?

    I enjoy beets but I eat them in moderation because they contain a relatively high amount of oxalates, which isn't good for me since I've had kidney stones. Beetroot juice has fewer oxalates than canned beets.

    Why is protein calculated based on body weight instead of as a percentage of calories?

    Yes, it would be more logical. However, nutritional guidelines are created to be straightforward and easy to follow. The rule of 'X% of body weight' is generally effective and easy for anyone to remember. If the target constantly changed based on the individual, their activity level, and...

    Last night at the gym was a humbling experience for me

    I had a similar experience when the trainer said we would do pull-ups next. I said, "I think I can do one or two." She responded, "Oh, you can do one?" I was a bit surprised she was surprised. However, when I tried to do a single pull-up, I failed halfway up. So now I do negatives. It was...

    How did you finally lose weight and see results?

    Tracked my meals honestly, started weighing daily, and paid attention to patterns of fluctuations. Stopped giving up and accepted it's a long and slow process. Enjoy your day off with your partner. There's no reason to feel guilty. Even if the scale tips up, it's temporary, and in a few weeks...

    avocado or olive cooking spray?

    I use a spray bottle for my bottled olive oil, which helps me control the amount I use much better. Each full spray is about 1/4 teaspoon of oil, and it has a nice, wide spray.

    What can i expect on a 500mg Test Enanthate a week?

    I think it's better to do some research first. Make sure you know what you're doing. Your bloodwork might not return to baseline if and when you cycle off. You need to research. Have you even considered your pet?
