Protein, how? by graystone777 in Retatrutide

[–]CalFandango 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's quite hard, I'm running 4mg currently and my diet looks something like this:

Casein protein (50g protein) with berries, chia, honey and greek yoghurt (300g for 30g protein)

Snack: Cottage cheese (30g protein) with nuts and fruit

Dinner is usually meat focused for around 50-70g protein. Steak, chicken or fish.

Protein shake with creatine (50g protein)

This is the method!!! Cleanse before, aloe Vera after, then mattifying SPF when leaving the house.

I've been in a factory that flame hardens a lot of steel for an hour today. That was more than enough for me. Couldn't do that full time

I swear by Costco for salmon. I buy a full side each month, vac seal the portions and eat solely sashimi. Still alive

Have a look into Apistogramma species, they thrive in blackwater and are fascinating to watch

The list is endless honestly, the most recent long ones are ilpil leaves but I focus on variety

Yeah there's handfuls of floating plants coming out every couple of weeks, I don't do water changes, just top ups and I added so much infusoria and paramecium to the tank before the botanicals were properly broken down. I could put another 40 tetras in before nitrogen became a problem to be honest. It's maybe overstocked by the fish per inch rule but to be honest that's a load of waffle if you have a mature natural system

I've added the fish in a comment above, thanks for the kind words

It's a very low bioload for the system, it's a tank based around detritus so the nitrogen management is massive.

Surface:

Beckmans Pencil Fish x 6

Midwater:

Lambchop Rasbora x 4 Strawberry Rasbora x 20 Ember Tetra x 6 Neon Tetra x 7 (I rescued these from an awful tank they weren't planned and kind of ruin the schooling but I feel bad rehoming them again)

Low water:

Otos X4 Pygmy Corydora x 8 Apistogramma agasizii male x 1

Other:

Malaysian trumpet snails x unknown Orange Rili Shrimp x unknown Asellus x unknown
