Either you are taking in a lot of protein or your workout has increased. But anyway, if you wanted to lose weight and fat and you did then great job.

No, didn't want specifically.

Lower belly fat gone is good.

 

Workout was done very irregularly with plenty of no workout days and quite low in duration against daily 2 hour before.

 

I wonder if overworking is a thing and has negative impacts ?

(Overworking in the sense working out too much with no rest days can increase fat ? I read about stimulation of some over workout chemical)

 

or running (only done 3 times though total) is better than treadmill and weights ?

 or working out in air conditioning vs room temperature ?

These could be it.

Not sure what you mean by overworking but running and weights are different things, both can reduce weight but the result will be different.

I always recommend to working out in air conditioned room, there have been many documented cases of body overheating and causing strokes and also, 23°C is the optimum temperature for your body to work out because it is able to recover quickly from the lactic acid build ups and hence you can put in more intensity.

But lots of red meat and multiple heavy meals whenever possible.

The healthiest food out there, and the best way to eat. Kudos. No sarcasm intended.

It definitely does, though depends on individual recovery capability, protein intake, sleep, rest, and workout intensity. It is also cumulative, in that it adds up as time goes on and can definitely cause adipose hypertrophy (fat accumulation) due to chronic increased inflammation and other stress biomarkers, and vice versa.

Generally, the optimum workout temperature range is 21-24 °C. Any hotter and the body is trying to juggle between you getting too hot, which would reduce the rate of blood flow, and optimum performance.

This is true for me i think : 

this has been happening in the past 6-7 months, same uncontrolled diet for both.

Little workout = fat loss.

high workout = fat gain.

I was thinking of cortisol which causes increased hunger and fat storage.

 

Edit : it has started again, just had a full meal till failure at 9.30 pm and I'm so hungry now at 12 am that I can't sleep, time for meal no. 7 of the day.

Let's do some gourmet sh*t:

 

 

 

10 seconds in the hand frother:

 

 

 

Works sweet. 

 

The coffee is good for flavored coffee lovers. Nice aftertaste of mint, and the hazelnut flavor couldn't be missed. Not as smooth as BT's medium roast (that's for black coffee though).

It's actually a bit more complex, usually hypertrophy signalling works for both, muscular and adipose tissue, and the loss is also signalled concurrently, unless on exogenous hormonal input  

 

There's a mental aspect to it as well. For eg, when I pig out on vacation, and I mean absolutely pig out, I see no adverse effects manifested because the mind is free and rest and sleep are plentiful and undisturbed. Probably. 

If I do the same in everyday life, holy hell do I balloon up!

Sure, but cortisol also has fat release tendencies, biochem is 

 

None of these factors work in isolation. But we can do this experiment. Reduce your workout by a fixed amount, in time or intensity, and take note of differences. Find your optimum level and then start progressively overloading on one aspect, keeping others constant, and go from there. 

These are the finer details a good trainer can help with immensely.

Should I mention my diet here or fitness thread ?

Not able to find the balance and seems it needs some modifications if anyone would like to.

Related to fitness more I guess.

We can only lend our suggestions but a true overhaul can only be done by a dietician. 

Fitness thread is the better place to ask though.

Finally after trying BT, SO, Rage, Davidoff, CB etc, these 2 are my favs:

 

 

Specially Vienna estate. One EP can make 2 medium sized cups, and it's extremely smooth and mildly fruity.

OMG I just came across the video. Need to share it.

Got a chance to finally bake after weeks of thesis work and since there was a cause of celebration as well, tried to make something special. Used the only gold sheet I had.

Used my sisters equipment to click a good pic.

Thanks for sharing these coffee posts over the past few weeks/months. I ordered BT Vienna Roast in Cold Brew packing, really liked it. Next time, will go for Easy Pour packaging. Got to use Cred points for something apart from donations.

I tried their Monsoon Malabar yesterday. It's pretty good if you like medium to dark roasts. 

Thogarihunkal is my fav out of all BT ones. 

Almost all flavors are available on Cred. I also order from the app.
