This stuff is really magical. Brainlets think it's no different than pure sugar. In fact, it has many interesting and paradoxical effects in the body which science is just beginning to scratch the surface of. I've experimented with consuming large amounts of raw honey, as much as 1 pound per day, which is over 2000 calories, on top of my normal diet. I've gained no fat, and my fasting blood glucose has actually lowered. At the same time, it provides lots of energy for muscle growth. It's only been about a month, but I've seen significant lean muscle growth and improved body composition. Am I onto something IST?

I won't because it's not like I've turned into the hulk in one month, and I don't have a before pic. I have seen noticeable improvements. What I haven't seen is any noticeable increase in fat. Eating a 2000 calorie surplus should have added a visable amount of excess fat in 1 month, but it didn't.
You said "as much as 1lb per day", suggesting an average of less than 2000kcal of honey per day.
You would need to also know how many calories of non-honey food you consumed each day on top of your calorie burn each day to say anything useful from this.
This.
Your posts lack context.
You state this is an experiment you have been doing for a month and try to imply it's some sort of process but you haven't got a baseline for weight, lifts etc.
Bro you just randomly decided to start eating a pound of honey...
Get checked for diabeetus or at least come back comitted to the experiment
>diabeetus
I check my fasting glucose every day. It actually improved with POHAD (pound of honey a day).
my point is if you have no method then it's just madness
you haven't 'experimented' you've just stuffed your face with honey and mused on the potential benefits
there's no quantifiable data to work with
Honey has been proven to raise testosterone in men
Royal jelly will add inches to your dick in just 6 weeks
Brutal MOGs ONLY
raw honey
>0 grams of protein
Noone is suggesting you eat nothing but honey you moron.
Besides, cholesterol is more important for muscle growth than protein.
>Protein is the only nutrient involved in muscle growth
Do people still think this?
it's the most important, hence the "pro" in protein, moron
you ain't building shit without protein, raw honey isn't gonna build shit you fricking moron, the only foods that build muscle are protein foods, and the only thing you can take to build muscle that isn't protein is roids
fricking moron
>the only foods that build muscle are protein foods
First of all, it takes energy to build muscle. Simple carbs are the quickest source of energy. Second, carbs spike insulin which is the master anabolic hormone. You aren't turning on protein synthesis without insulin. Third, most of the increase in muscle size from hypertrophy is due to increased glycogen (sugar) storage and water which is stored with the glycogen.
I seriously thought people got over the protein meme after the 90s.
Not commenting on any alleged mass consumption, but eating local raw unfiltered honey got rid of my allergies. I moved to a new area and mowing my lawn would cause my nose to run, I'd be doing the farmer's blow a few times per hour. After a couple weeks of eating honey it stopped bothering me. Feels good.
There’s probably propolis in it
Some lady shilled her company on the Primal Kitchen Podcast a while back and it sounds great for people who aren’t me: https://www.beekeepersnaturals.com/
You don’t need the honey for this
Post body with timestamp, u won’t.
digits and OP will lose his gains for the next 5 months
digits and this dude walks in on his mom having sex with his neighbor
Her honor is upheld
1 pound of honey? Its good for you but that seems like way too much lol. I have a teaspoon or two
I have about a large teaspoon per day. No idea if it does anything good, shit is tasty doe.
I drink a tablespoon of honey + water each morning. I find that it makes me feel less lethargic and just have more energy overall. Honeys have always been healthy since ancient times
It needs to bee raw as in dripping with body parts raw though. Otherwise yeah it's mostly sugar.
Thoughs on royal jelly? It's supposed to be even better.
I actually just ate some raw honey comb with royal jelly. It is next level. But you're wrong about raw honey. It just can't be heated and extruded and shit like the ultra processed honey. As long as all the enzymes, nitrous oxide precursors, polyphenolic compounds, pollens, etc etc are intact, you're getting most of the benefits. You don't need bee larva and shit, although I'd love to try that.
>As long as all the enzymes, nitrous oxide precursors, polyphenolic compounds, pollens, etc etc are intact, you're getting most of the benefits.
You're right but the best way to make 100% sure you're getting the real deal is by getting it with larva and shit. Otherwise you'll have to take your sellers word for it.
I envy you. Here 500g of raw honey would cost me $20 a day at least.
>500g of raw honey a day
do Americans really?
Thank you bee bros for your tireless service. I started my tiny balkony garden just to help this little buzzers out.
No such thing as raw honey
Honey you buy from a honey farm is just scooped from hives
What if this madlad genetic freak is devouring pollen and converting it to honey in his digestive tract?
What kind of honey is best?
local
honeys most important attribute is that it kills candida albicans which is really hard to kill.
if you combine honey with raw garlic and consume it for 1 month straight, then you will kill off every single parasite in your body.
Idk if it does anything muscle building wise, but I like to do 1-2 tablespoons of honey as pre-workout fuel
Bees make it so it's an interesting concept.
Enjoy your fructose induced fatty liver disease
Half of the sugarinos arent fructose though
Only happens with a high PUFA diet
Otherwise, sugar and alcohol won't ruin your liver if your metabolically healthy
I'm using it to cut. I took the breakfast pill and the honeypill and the nonlatemealspill and it's working brehs
Stupid fricking c**t nutritionist. The dumbass b***h told me to cool with sneed oils and avoid honey because sugar is le bad. Wtf is wrong with people? Even my heart doctor said that 4 eggs a day was excessive and that one should eat 4 per week.
Why is IST a better doctor?
I am buying a frickload of honey tomorrow.
>fatmericans need to emphasize a natural product ISNT processed
Pay attention, IST. This is what marketing has come down to. Take note of the time posted and the overall content of the OP. This anon is a shill trying to get you to buy large quantities of raw honey.
Big Honey shills don't want you to know the TRUTH Biden and the Deep State are hiding about honey
No, no it fricking doesn't. There's absolutely nothing in honey that lends it's self to growth of any thing in fact it does the opposite.
No.
Sugar makes you lean - see fruitarians for proof
Protein makes you bulk muscle
Fat makes you bulk fat - see ketards for proof of this
The ideal strategy is to eat the three macros in a balanced way to achieve the body you desire.
Now in case I accidentally summoned the keto schizo - the only time I ever gained belly fat was from bulking with 1000-2000 extra calories of fat per day. None of those calories were turned into muscle. It should be no surprise that excess fat calories were stored as fat. It makes perfect biological sense.
