𝙴𝚍/𝚂𝚑 Discord Server

As you may have noticed, a lot of 𝙴𝚍/𝚂𝚑 Discord servers have been getting taken down recently. Here is an invite link to a gateway server to a 𝙴𝚍/𝚂𝚑 discord server.

EDIT: The server was banned :/

This is not for recovery. I hope this reaches its intended audience.

was trying to figure out why tf my arms and legs are shrinking, but my stomach is still massive

so, im gonna nerd out for a bit…

there are two receptors in fat cells - Alpha and Beta receptors. beta receptors burn the fat cells immediately when you aren’t getting enough energy from your diet.

alpha receptors tell your body to hold onto fat for future use. every cell has both of these receptors, but in all of them, one receptor is more dominant.

for some people, more of their cells have alpha receptors, for others, they have more beta receptors. and, different parts of your body have more of one receptor (hence my stubborn belly fat)

the key to burning the alpha-based cells is catecholamimes. these travel through your blood stream and attach to the receptors.

here’s what ive learned in my research:

-> insulin levels are important: low carb diets and intermittent fasting are key to keeping insulin levels low

-> blood flow is also important: stimulating blood flow to certain areas where you hold onto fat can help

-> exercise: you can’t burn fat in one area, but you can use exercise to move blood to different areas of your body. moving your body just a little bit every day can increase your blood flow overall.

from what im hearing, the way that the ed diet works is by fasting for long periods of time and by eating small meals. any food spikes your insulin and doesn’t access your alpha receptors. so, keeping meals small and/or eating within a small window of time each day, you fall more easily into fat burning mode, even with areas of stubborn fat.

anyways, interesting tidbit i learned!
