Hahah glad that gave you some relief. I actually meant you start taking a magnesium supplement. I take one with calcium and vitamin D as they all help to absorb one another. Colex? That sounds like an uber laxative. If that's the case, avoiddddd.
The weigh ins are late in the afternoon, by that time I need to have eaten substantially and had enough water to feel at top form. I guess I'm just worried about tipping the scales by that time.
Also, I appreciate your help and the "toughen the f**k up" tone in which it was dished out.
I have a jiu jitsu tournament this saturday. The weigh ins are right before the fight and my fight is at 2pm. I have been waking up 4lbs under the max weight for my division but have been drinking a gallon and a half of water a day for the past few days. I am going to cut that in half tomorrow...
Personally, I would ditch the carbs (that means cut down on your fruits as well), keep your protein high, eat a ton of veggies and make sure you get a lot of healthy fats (olive oil, avocado etc). How many hours a day are you training? The same thing happened to me when I started doing two or...
Holy hell, I didn't know Chia Seed Kombucha existed. I recently just did a weight cut going mostly low carb but before my last meal I would have a glass of kombucha and afterwards a spoonful of ground chia seeds mixed with water. It sounds crazy but that combo will clean you out like no one's...
Would there be any benefit to sticking to a low carb diet on the days you aren't training? I train 2-3 hours 5 days a week and eat quite carb heavy (quinoa, sprouted breads, fruits) to keep me fueled up. However, I do feel like I am carrying water weight and was wondering if there would be any...
I lived in China for awhile and holy hell does their food have a lot of sugar and oil. I'm sure forms of traditional Chinese cooking are healthy but the stuff found in most restaurants, in China and worldwide, is a lot of greasy crap. China (and India) has the highest rate of Diabetes in the...
Yeah, I'm sure binge eating is just a case of not being manly enough. Considering how much you used to weigh, I suspect you are still mad for letting yourself get that big and that manifests itself in your judgement of others and their troubles with food. Just a heads up, that's a symptom of...
I don't really follow a meal plan per se but I think I could definitely up the veggies to keep me full. And yeah, I can't go too crazy with the almonds because once I start, I could really plow through those.
That's a pretty vague statement you got yourself there. Did you want to elaborate on specific concepts that you disagree with? Also, the article you posted completely lost any validity for me when the author wrote: "Neither Pollan, nor Kingsolver, nor even Salatin is attempting to learn how to...
I have been eating mainly paleo for the past few weeks- hate to say "I'm paleo" but I only eat meat, veggies, fruits, healthy fats. I really make sure that my fat and protein is right up there but holy hell, I am a bottomless pit. I am eating more than I have ever eaten and still feel hungry...
This article, albeit long, is a really interesting read. It was included in his book The Omnivore's Dilemma. He battles for both sides of the argument. I still refer to his points about animal's having the capacity to suffer. I am not a vegetarian (anymore) but I do believe in raising animals in...
Yeah, totally trial and error but if you stick to some basics and don't throw in too many curve balls it will generally come out pretty awesome every time. I found that if the base is versatile enough you can even change the flavors a little during the week. Like adding capers, olives and...
I know a lot of the guys on here complain about not having enough time to eat properly etc. This is sort of like the solid food answer to the shake recipes. It can change from person to person. Lately I have been making what I call the "Uber Stew". I follow a general formula and make a big ol'...
Chia seeds are an amazing thickener. I add them to stews. If you put oatmeal, water, chia seeds and some other crap that gets you going into them, leave it in the fridge overnight, you basically have dessert for breakfast. It's awesome.
This.
I have the worst frickin' blender in the world and every time I try to start my day with a green smoothie I feel like I am choking down chunky swamp water. Now, I just say screw it and eat my goddamn veggies.
