Trying to lose skinny fat gut by cutting out junk but feels like no progress.. along with trying to tamp down this new issue of acid reflux.. even feel it some times now at the gym.

Progressive overload not working when ya hit that wall and can't seem to add more weight.. then add another set at a lower weight I guess?

Fun stuff
I remember you from another webmaster forum (must be 10 years ago) but I remember you being really skinny, if you still struggle to put on weight/muscle your best bet is to drink that protein in shakes with every meal.

I swear by a ketogenic diet, it's a difficult diet to stick to because you're cutting out the carbs but the benefit is you're not eating any of the junk food and your blood sugar levels aren't spiking up and down like a yo yo from constantly eating

Benefits for me are

1) Better quality sleep (I need around 2 hours less per night on average)
2) Never get tired, always have energy because the body is tapping into your stored fat cells for energy when not eating
3) Helps tremendously with mood, I'd describe being in ketosis like a natural anti depressant with no side effects. It's sorta like you've got a stoic resolve just to deal with whatever problem in life you're faced with
4) Rarely get hungry, which feels like a super power. Usually end up intermittent fasting for 23 hours a day, only need one meal a day
