if im anything like these folks I will have also gained 5-6 lbs of muscle as well but idk how to actually measure that (subjectively it seems true i've been doing a lot of mirror flexing lol)

update on my diet experiment. Loosely replicating the study/diet described in this essay: https://fireinabottle.net/battling-reductive-stress-pyruvate-and-l-carnitine/

Fairly strictly avoiding all oil, but otherwise eating ad libitum
calcium pyruvate: 12g
l-carnatine: 2g
disodium succinate: 4.8g
