To start, I've always subscribed to the Low T is a problem "faction". I'd be taking supplements, going to the gym, eating red meat (carnivore dieting), etc... to up my T levels. I always imagined it was a problem but I've never had evidence to decide just how much of a problem it was until now.
I started injecting Testosterone. I wasn't cycling (traditional steroids) though it was borderline. Instead, I just took enough that would lead to roughly 1200 ng/dl. Now, society says this is peak teenage levels of T (currently) but some research I've done suggests this was what the average man once had in the past (before soyciety took over).
Either way, I was compelled to make this topic because I've done it twice now over the last couple months and the difference is unbelievable. Depression? Gone. My reflexes are better, my alertness is higher, my thinking is clearer, my balance is better, my motivation is higher, my sex drive is higher (but it's the complete opposite of a gooner sex drive. This isn't a simp, women control me, sex drive. This is a, I want to fuck and I'll take what I want, sex drive,), my recovery from working out is better, my strength is higher and my endurance is better. It's a night-and-day difference too. This isn't some subtle supplement difference. This is like I injected heroin but instead of losing myself in my own world, I am ready to face this world.
Whatever the conspiracy is, it's no wonder they want men with lower T levels. I feel like I would be better at anything I did and far more focused and motivated at doing it. I think most of our problems would vanish if every White man's T levels increased.
CICO is law because of physics. But you're also right that the human body is a biochemical factory and not just an incinerator. So if you throw 3k kcals of kerosene into it, it doesn't burn hotter, it just dies because it has no means of handling that type of fuel.
You could say the same of a diesel engine - so much diesel fuel (calories in) will get you so much energy output (calories out). "But what if I put 500kcals of gasoline into it!?" well then it will fucking die. Hence TallestSkil's false dichotomy comment, and fuck you for making me take his side.
So, CICO matters, but the CI is very dependent on biochemistry (similar to the diesel engine). While I highly doubt you eat ~4.5 lbs. of beef per day as you claim, the fact is that your body can probably never digest that. You've only got so much protease to break down all that protein; at some point you produce too much and start to break down your own body's essential proteins (stomach lining and whatnot). It's also why you could eat 1 million kcals of styrofoam and still starve because styrofoam is nondigestible, similar to the diesel engine being incapable of consuming gasoline. Also, in a ketogenic state, you retain a ton less water because 1 gram of carbohydrate holds like 4 grams of water while one gram of fat holds maybe one gram of water. The human body has ~1kg of glycogen storage potential, which means if you're carb rich, you've got the 1kg of glycogen + 5kg of water with it leading to about 13 lbs. of excess weight just from carbing.
But I'm sure you already know all of this, being a physics and biochem expert and all. Yes, I'm getting annoyed in my own reply, but only because I like you enough to reply and hopefully straighten you out a bit... even though I know you're not the type to be straightened out.
Jewish scientists didn't come up with all this shit; the kilocalorie was defined by Nicolas Clément, who was not a jew. The concept of the joule (the preferred unit of work) was presented by [James Prescott Joule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Prescott_Joule), also not a jew. And honestly I can't think of a single jewish nutritionist that would have leveraged these terms to make one believe calories aren't biologically real or whatever you're trying to claim.
A human body in a bomb calorimeter would expend like 7,000,000,000,000 kcals or something, because you'd be burning even the bone to ash. This is why the numbers claimed in the Holocaust are impossible. I guess I'm assuming you know how bomb calorimeters work, but rereading the question I guess that's not a reasonable assumption... anyway, that said...
Did you not get the point about gasoline in a diesel engine? Do you contest that gasoline doesn't have energy to release? Or do you contest that a diesel engine can't produce energy?
Yea sure, labeled calories might not be fully indicative of usable calories; psyllium husk (a known indigestible fiber) still has calories on the label, even though you shit basically all of it out. But the point of CICO is - all things being equal, fewer (digestible) calories in with same calories out leads to weight loss. I.e., you eat 4.5 lbs. of meat and 1 lb. of butter every day, and you're losing weigh, right? Well, if you eat 3.5 lbs. of meat and .75 lbs. of butter/day, you'll lose even more weight. That's all CICO says, and it's true. I've done it, my friends have done it, everybody's done it; if you eat the exact same things, but less of it, you'll lose weight. Works literally every time.
Don't believe it? Just try it. Even more conclusive - I bet if you consume 0 calories/day, eventually you'll waste away to nothing like every other person who's tried it before you. But sure, CICO is just a myth or doesn't matter or whatever.
Figure.
No... no I must've missed that one. Here I thought you might be a serious person; upon review - you're a clown who I'm better off not interacting with (probably we'd all be better off).
Not that it matters, but bomb calorimetry is so well understood that [even undergrads run the experiments.](https://studylib.net/doc/27894900/mae337-lab-2.docx) And just like the human body, we know that bomb calorimetry is ~100% efficient (with known losses), while a diesel engine is only ~30% efficient. So the caloric values don't translate work-for-work, but they're good reference... whatever, I like to educate people, but here I am trying to educate a non-person.
