For #TacticalThursday, I am looking at the "Hidden Cost" of a cheat day. When you break your diet, you aren't just consuming calories; you are incurring days of inflammation, water retention, and brain fog.

Our question for #WellnessWednesday: "If fat cells stick around forever, do muscle cells do the same?" Today, I explain the biology of how muscle is built and why those muscles stay around even if you take a year off.

Muscle Memory
Do muscles disappear when you stop training? I explain the science of "Myonuclei," why you need protein to rebuild, and why "Muscle Memory" is real.

For #TechTuesday, we are getting theoretical. I explain why "Spinning Coin" logic allows quantum computers to solve problems in seconds that would take millions of years - and why that is terrifying news for your passwords.

Schrödinger’s Spreadsheet
It’s not just a faster computer; it’s a master key. I explain Quantum Computing using a "Spinning Coin" metaphor and why it threatens global security.

For #MindsetMonday, I am putting down the mask. I talk about retiring the "Superhero Cape," the hard truth that you cannot save people, and the terrifying, wonderful difference between being needed and being wanted.

Hanging Up the Cape
For 50 years, I tried to "fix" my partners. I explain the childhood origin of my Savior Complex and the peace of finally being wanted, not needed.

For #systemchecksunday, I'm debugging Data Decay. As I've lost weight, my initial macro calculations are now obsolete. If I'm still eating the same portion sizes I started with, I'm not stalling; I'm over-fueling a smaller engine.

#keto #wellness #blogger

Mass Effect
Lost weight and stalled? Your macros might be suffering from "Data Decay." I explain why a smaller body needs less fuel and when to recalibrate.

For #superfoodsaturday, I am conducting a Supply Chain Audit. Did you know that up to 69% of imported "Extra Virgin" Olive Oil fails quality standards? Today, I try to ensure you are not choosing one of the fraudulent imposters.

Oil’s Well That Ends Well
Is your Olive Oil fake? Studies show 69% of imported EVOO is compromised. I audit the industry and explain how to spot the real liquid gold.

For #FoodieFriday, we are solving the biggest logistical hurdle of the Keto diet: The Sandwich Problem. How do you eat a burger without a bun? It sounds ridiculous, but you cook cheese and eggs in a waffle iron. Enter the Chaffle.

Every Day I'm Chafflin'
Miss bread? I explain the chemistry of the "Chaffle"—the Egg and Cheese hybrid that solves the Keto sandwich problem without the inflammatory wheat.

It's #TacticalThursday! I believe that nutrition should always come from food first, but modern soil depletion and age create gaps that salad can't fill. Here are the compounds I take to patch the holes in my biology.

#keto #wellness #blogger

pathistoodeep.blogspot.com/2026/02/supp...
Supplement and Demand
Supplements aren't magic; they are gap fillers. I audit my daily stack, from Creatine for brain health to the critical D3/K2 connection.

For #WellnessWednesday, I am getting microscopic. When you fast, you aren't just burning fat; you are triggering Autophagy. It sounds scary, but it's actually the body's way of hunting "Zombie Cells" and recycling them for parts.

#keto #wellness #blogger

Cell-f Improvement
Fasting isn't just weight loss; it's deep cleaning. I explain Autophagy, "Zombie Cells," and why skipping meals is the body's recycling program.

For #TechTuesday, I am going down the nerdy path and pivoting to the "Big Picture." Today, I explain how this "Trustless" technology works and why it might be the future of proving your steak is actually grass-fed.

Block to the Future
Confused by Crypto? Ignore the hype. I explain Blockchain as the ultimate "Audit Log" and why it matters for more than just digital money.

It's #MindsetMonday! It is sometimes easy to scroll social media and feel like a failure because someone else dropped 10 lbs. this week while you stalled, but looking at someone else's paper is a guaranteed way to fail the test.

Weighing In
Frustrated by others losing weight faster? I discuss the "Desiderata" and why comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 20 is a data error.

For #systemchecksunday, I’m bringing my work home. Here is how I use Agile development's "Sprint Retrospective" framework - asking three specific questions - to patch the bugs in my routine before Monday starts.

Stop drifting. I apply Agile Project Management to life, running a "Sunday Scrum" to fix bugs and iterate for the next sprint.

For this #superfoodsaturday, I am revisiting our "Second Brain." To truly fix our microbiome, we need "settlers," not tourists. Today, I explain why I rely on ancient preservation tech - fermentation - to fuel my gut.

Stop buying expensive probiotic pills. I explain why Sauerkraut and Kimchi are superior for gut health and how to buy the "alive" versions.

For #FoodieFriday, I am auditing the grocery bill. There is a myth that you need to be wealthy to eat healthy. Here is my strategy for eating like a King on a peasant's budget.

For this 100th blog post on #TacticalThursday, I’m stepping out of the kitchen. While I have been eating "clean," I've been washing my clothes in endocrine disruptors and spraying my counters with respiratory irritants. No longer.

For #WellnessWednesday, we are looking at the "Binary Switch" of the human body, why 70% of us are deficient, and why the type of Magnesium you buy makes the difference between a good night's sleep and an expensive laxative.

#keto #wellness #blogger

pathistoodeep.blogspot.com/2026/01/elem...
Elemental, My Dear
Leg cramps? Can't sleep? You are likely part of the 70% deficient in Magnesium. I explain why this mineral is the non-negotiable "spark plug" of Keto.

For this #tabletoptuesday, I’m auditing my gaming setup. While I love nostalgia, managing a 44-year-old campaign world requires more than a notebook. Here is how I use a "Tech Stack" to keep the story running without lag.

For #MindsetMonday, I am talking about the moment when the excitement of the new diet fades, the scale stalls, and the alarm clock feels like an insult. Choosing the difficult path on purpose is how we build resilience.

Embracing the "Suck"
Motivation is fleeting; discipline is a protocol. I discuss "Voluntary Hardship," Stoicism, and how to stay on track when the "diet" excitement fades.

For #superfoodsaturday, we are looking at the "glue" that holds the body together. At 53, my knees have taken a beating. Instead of just taking painkillers, I use Bone Broth to rebuild the infrastructure.

For #FoodieFriday, I am abandoning "cooking" and switching to "culinary engineering." By using the Reverse Sear method, we can guarantee edge-to-edge perfection every single time. This is the physics behind the "perfect" ribeye.

A common question I get: "Chris, can I do what you do, but without the animal products?"

Today, I map out the "Green Mile": a guide to navigating Veganism and Keto simultaneously, without compromising on quality or inflammation.

For this #WellnessWednesday, I break down the science of how Fasting and Keto can wake up "dormant" beta cells, restore metabolic health, and even reverse Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - backed by my own recent A1c results of 4.5%.
