Also have you tried eliminating certain food groups systematically to see if that helps significantly? Like eliminating all dairy for 3-4 weeks for example? | ||

Ick, overuse of topical steroids can lead to nasty skin issues too. Good luck with that, hope it works out. | ||

Well as you said it is inflammatory so it's definitely worth a shot eliminating anything that can cause reactions from your diet (gluten then dairy then nightshades). Keto is also definitely worth a shot. | ||

http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk/sports-supplements-lose-fat-burner-loss-optimum-health-omega-oil-blend-500ml-bottle it says on the website 500ml Bottle - 100 Servings Consume a 5ml serving 3 times daily with meals. Per 5ml: Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3): 2443mg Linoleic Acid (Omega 6): 992mg Oleic Acid (Omega 9): 953 mg those seem like high numbers to me. for a 5ml serving. i dont know if its good that they are all high numbers though, or if its the ratio that is important. or if its missing anything thanks | ||

I am really unsure about the dependence topic. I don't think I am dependent on caffeine, as I often enough don't have any for a couple of days. But I definitely do feel better after a coffee in the morning. I can't really anymore tell if I am functioning less without caffeine and the daily coffee is just compensating the negative effects, or if I am actually having a positive effect from caffeine. That's why I wanted to test taking myself off caffeine. How long do you think will it take to get off dependence, assuming I am experiencing bad effects from dependence? Do you think I need to go completely off coffee, or could I allow myself coffee just on one day of the week for example? Currently I am drinking about a liter of coffee daily I would say. Like 3-4 cups in the morning and another 2-3 over lunch time. I usually don't have any after like 3pm. | ||

But if you cut way back, you'll feel the difference in just a few days. It took me less than a week to feel better all around when I cut most of the monster out of my diet. | ||

It has ALA which is a vegetable (usually flax) source of Omega 3 that your body very inefficiently converts to the Omega 3's you really want, which are EPA and DHA. Look for actual fish oil with only EPA/DHA. You definitely DON'T want to be supplementing with Omega-6's. TL;DR: no way in hell should you buy that. | ||

But if you cut way back, you'll feel the difference in just a few days. It took me less than a week to feel better all around when I cut most of the monster out of my diet. Why would I change other parameters like sleep schedule? It's a serious question. My understanding is from a testing perspective that would rather skew the results I am hoping to get (Confirmation about caffeine dependence and its severity). I mean if I go through my regular day without caffeine and feel the same or even better after a while without changing other parameters that would be as conclusive as I could hope for I think. | ||

I'd imagine liquid but as far as I know I can't compare the two but I'm willing to go either way. If someone can explain how I'd compare the amount of oil between the two products that would be awesome too, then I'll do the math just make sure you can swallow the goddamn capsules before buying. they are large | ||

OP said that the general amount of protein should be about 2g/1kg... In my case, that would mean 140-150g of protein. Now, during what period of time is this? Weekly? daily? I have some proteins for recovery drinks etc, and it says 30g (aka about 3/4 dl) mixed into a few dl of water within 1 hour of workout. In my case, im a little bit skinny person, so I need to increase my calorie intake, so should I use protein shakes even on off-days to help gain weight? For a few weeks now I've been trying to increase my weight by eating more than I normally would, with a small amount of success Oh, I do starting strength 3 times a week, badminton once a week and might occasionally go running. | ||

You will want to reach the desired amount of protein every day, not just days when you work out. You build muscle when you rest from lifting, not when you actually do the lifting. | ||

Of course I optimize in eating enough meat and protein based food every day. Let me get this straight, it doesn't matter where I get my 150g of protein, as long as I get it? (assuming im 75kg) If I do not get enough protein from eating high quality food, then I should use supplements to fill up on that, even on off days. | ||
