Carb Shock Notes from Kiefer’s Insulin Timing Tricks Webinar Part 1

Posted on October 20, 2014June 25, 2015 by BJJ Caveman

A few days after the successful launch of Kiefer’s Carb Shock supplement, he held a live, online webinar on insulin timing tricks followed by a Q&A session. In the webinar he discusses the optimal ways to use Carb Shock with either Carb Nite AND Carb Back-Loading, and provides a lot of clues as to what the upcoming Carb Back-Loading 2.0 will contain.

Here are the notes from the secret Q&A Body IO Podcast he released prior to the launch of Carb Shock:

Carb Shock Q&A Notes from Kiefer’s Secret Body IO Podcast

Posted on October 17, 2014June 25, 2015 by BJJ Caveman

In the past few weeks, Kiefer has been ramping up his marketing for his new Carb Shock supplement, first with a release of a special Supplement Blackbook (which I plan on reviewing later) followed by this special Body IO episode where he answers some of the questions generated by the Supplement Blackbook.

These were only released to Kiefer’s e-mail subscribers.

I just want to clarify that this is NOT the special Q&A webinar that he just had last night on October 16, 2014, one day after the official release of Carb Shock. … Read More

Book Review: Carb Back-Loading by John Kiefer

When I picked up the Carb Nite Solution, I also purchased Kiefer’s Carb Back-Loading (CBL) book at the same time as part of a discounted package. Kiefer has mentioned in a few different places that the Carb Nite Solution is mainly for folks who don’t work out too much, while Carb Back-Loading is for people who like to exercise, particularly with resistance training, more regularly.

Since I’ve been trying to integrate more regular weight training into my regimen lately I decided to read through the Carb Back-Loading book, and I have to say I really enjoyed it.… Read More

The Carb Nite Solution: The Physicist’s Guide to Power Dieting

I first came across this author while listening to Jimmy Moore’s Ask the Low Carb Experts Podcast and then a few days later on Robb Wolf’s Podcast.

What John Kiefer had to say about the ketogenic diet and how he found the best way to optimize it for fat loss was very interesting, so I took the plunge and picked up his book.

Since amazon doesn’t offer a kindle version, I actually picked up the e-book version of it directly from his website.… Read More

Gut Shield: Followup uBiome After 30 Days

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

When Kiefer’s Gut Shield was first released I was initially skeptical given his previous stance on the microbiome, namely that if you become healthy, your gut flora will in turn become healthy. If you are unhealthy, then your gut flora will be unhealthy. Eating low carb and Carb Nite will make you healthier and in turn make your gut healthier.

He didn’t think there was any need to do anything other than eating low carb and Carb Nite… and next he’s marketing a prebiotic and probiotic.… Read More

Thyroid Update September 2016

Posted on December 19, 2016December 18, 2016 by BJJ Caveman

Since I haven’t checked my thyroid levels in over a year, I decided to add a thyroid panel onto my September 2016 blood test. I can’t report any symptoms of either hyper or hypothyroidism so there really isn’t any real reason for me to check this except out of sheer curiosity… which is pretty much the entire purpose of this site. I thought it’d be fun to see what changes, if any, the Whole 30 would have on these numbers.
