Gut Shield: Kiefer changes his tune on the gut biome… and incidentally has something new to sell

Posted on January 16, 2017May 24, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

It’s been a while since I’ve written about anything John Kiefer related mainly because he’s largely retreated from public life. Carb Nite and Carb Back-loading remain unchanged in their 1.0 status with version 2.0’s supposedly always around the corner but never quite materializing. He occasionally sends out marketing e-mails whenever T3 Fuel and Carb Shock are back in stock but that’s about it. He’s remained absent from his Body IO FM podcast which are now mainly run by his minions. No more interesting episodes with him and Rocky where they crap on everyone else in the industry.… Read More

Kiefer’s Carb Nite 2.0 Update

Posted on September 11, 2015September 10, 2015 by BJJ Caveman

After picking up both Carb Nite and Carb Back-Loading I was added onto Kiefer’s e-mail list and was therefore privy to this most recent announcement about Carb Nite 2.0 that I wanted to share with you guys:

With The Carb Nite® Solution 2.0 coming out soon, I want to get the original Carb Nite in the hands of as many people as possible.
Why?
Because when I release Carb Nite 2, only current owners will have access; it will not be available to the general public for any price.

Review of Kiefer’s T3 Fuel with a Before and After Thyroid Panel

Posted on April 13, 2015January 22, 2016 by BJJ Caveman

I was immediately curious about Kiefer’s thyroid supplement T3 Fuel ever since he announced it this past October. I’ve been dealing with an elevated Reverse T3 for the past couple years and have bounced around the spectrum to having a normal thyroid level to being subclinically hypothyroid.

When I started testing my thyroid levels in depth I was experimenting with nutritional ketosis, Carb Nite (cyclic ketogenic diet), and Carb Back-loading (targeted ketogenic diet), and I noticed a slight inverse correlation between my overall carb intake and my TSH (less carbs = higher TSH).… Read More

Slightly Ambiguous Carb Nite Tip from Kiefer

Posted on November 15, 2014November 12, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

When #carbnite goes wrong, it can literally be due to a volume problem. #BodyIO
— DH Kiefer (@DHKiefer) November 11, 2014

This was what I saw in my Twitter feed. So of course I wondered what could he be talking about?

Volume of training?

He has mentioned a few times that if you’re working out you should cut back on workout volume.

Volume of food on the low carb days?

While he generally says to use your hunger as a guide, he has mentioned that if you aren’t seeing results then you may want to cut back on what you’re eating on the low carb days.… Read More
