LP is short for Lumbar puncture, or spinal tap whatever you want to call it. It's usually used for for serious stuff, cancer and all of that but it can also help show deficiencies in certain proteins in the blood, checks your leukocytes (white blood cells) to see how your immunity is and also, if what you are experiencing is a virus OR bacteria, the LP will be able to determine that. To be honest, 'sulphur' burps are pretty common with (I'm assuming) how you eat. If you eat lots of meat and some veggies like broccoli, your burps and flatulence are going to be gas-mask worthy, at least that's what it's like for me. It's interesting that a doc and a gastroenterologist couldn't find anything... Just my opinion, I'm not a doc or anything, but seriously, if my BP tanked that low and I've been having symptoms like this every 3 month I'd be wanting to find out what this is as quickly as possible. Hope you get back on track soon man!

Ok thanks. Believe me, what me and Steve had, has nothing to do with eating meat and broccoli, it's not the average burp that all people get, those are perfume compare to what we are talking and it happens only when sick, not just like that. In my case it's not sulfur, it's literally a shit odor and it does not come from stomach, but from much deeper. But those only came from allergy reaction and the last was in 2010.

You got that right. Sulfur burps if you want to go google it, sure, meat brocolli, protein, etc are common. This is common, but what we talk about is essentially farting from your mouth and not just smell, but sickness to go along with it. Like you are burping up a dead rotting carcus. It cleans you out real good, that's for sure. Talk about being dehydrated too. I'll have to look into allergies. I just figured it was too coincidental for both of us to go through it at the same time - therfore a bug being more likely. Never had it until I moved to NS too, so I just assumed it might be something in our well. (e-coli, etc). Just to bring it up a little more - the first time we had this was during my final week prep for nationals last year. Our whole house had it including sister in law visiting from ontario. Had it I think 3-4 times since. Never before that either...

For allergies, I made the whole blood test to see what food I'm sensible to and according to the results, all nuts is green light for me, I told them it's really bogus, but they said it's green because I do not eat them, my body doesn't produce antibodies against it (?), so could not see it. Since you seems to all have it at the same time, it look like a bug/oversize gastro and not an allergen at all. And funny, but I never had the burps from hell since we moved out Montreal and established in Ontario, but on the other hand I watch for allergens big time.

Week #8, I am at 198.6lbs so I lost 3.8lbs, I wish I could say it's all fat. I feel and look like I didn't loose fat, but loss muscle this week. Measuring tape says so also. I look like a freaking shrimp, I look smaller then when I was doing keto LAST year. Need to say I wasn't able to eat solid before Friday, so I had only a few protein shakes between Saturday and Thursday. I managed to resume walking 2 days after being ill even though I was weak but I did it, let just say I was not Speedy Gonzales. As far as training I only went once, I was feeling weak, but I've whipped myself thinking it would trigger recovery and help me put me back in the game faster, but it drained me big time, It took all to use about 60-70% of my regular weight.. Lots of pressure drop this week also. I will increase cardio +10min since it's pretty much all I can do for now.

Dang! When I saw my training partner, he said: 'Wow you've shrank!!! A lot!!! Sorry to tell you that!''

And then I saw another of my friend yesterday:''Oh man, you arms are so small, 2 weeks ago they were huge (ok, they never were huge, just bigger) and now they are... oh sorry to tell you that, probably not what you want to hear'.

Get used to stupid comments it happens all the time as people really dont understand dieting. Once you are shredded have them come to the gym and train beside you and then take your shirt off and ask them to do the same....then ask them what those jiggly things are around their waist and why their chest looks like man boobs.

Don't let it get to you...this is also one of the main reasons why most guys can never get shredded....they cant deal with not being fully glycogen loaded and guzzling gatorade while they train and yet are 20% body fat.

One can look good with a t-shirt, but it's another thing to look good without it, I agree. What I meant is that I've practically didn't eat for 6 days because I was sick and it shows that I've lost muscles, particularly in the arms and chest. When not on caloric deficit, if I'm sick and loose muscle because I can't eat for a while, it doesn't take long when I resume eating/training normally to re-gain the muscle I've lost. On a diet, it's harder to re-gain what's lost.

If you've lost anything its water....not muscle...stop worrying and get back on the diet.
