If you don't like something about that study, go find yourself another one. There's plenty. As for alcohol and recovery, as long as you want one thing to be true, you are never going to be convinced of the opposite whatever the evidence actually points at. You increase in fitness by absorbing training, not be enduring it. The workout is only meant so that you can rest and recover. When you throw in alcohol you are always going to be in a less ideal situation when resting is concerned. For the exact effects and details about dosages and how bad it is, you try to find out what papers say. But always there's a whole spectrum of results. Even if it is just a bit bad but definitely enough to avoid, that still means there's going to be studies that say they couldn't really find anything. | ||

Eating honey before bed is good for recovery http://www.nmhoney.com/nmhoney/sub files/a spoonful of honey before bed.htm Lol, these things always sound like a hoax (and probably are), but I think I am gonna try it anyway  . Two teaspoons of honey a day won't make a difference and it is quite delicious actually, so why not try it out.Just wondering why it has to be honey, maybe the concentration of fructose is extremely high? | ||

Drinking raw alcohol (beer fucking sucks) in a moderate quantity allows you to train and not hurt your body so much. No one is more commited than myself to train, but if you can't enjoy urself and find a balance in life training will eventually suck. I completed smolov, without roids, drinking moderately, so it can be done with almost no side effects. | ||

No hangover or anything, felt perfectly fine but my training session was absolutely miserable, had to take like 20% off my rack pulls. So no thanks! Only on special occations . I'll never understand how people like decaf can drink so much and still put up such high numbers. I wouldn't really call that moderate drinking lol. | ||

I shall buy bacon today and do this tomorrow :D (I used green paprika? for my omelette and always do, makes them taste so amazing). thanks for suggestions! :D Uhm, just a tip, for the bacon, it's a good idea to have it cooked before you stick it in the omelet, since bacon takes longer to cook than egg, and the grease really destroys the consistency of the omelet. This is common sense, but I HAVE seen people who don't think about that sort of thing. | ||

1. i used to stir fry my veggies and meat with vegetable oil (canola and others) since it's the cheapest. but clearly, this shit is not good for me. now, should i stir fry them with butter? or just steam them with a bit of water? the butter option would obviously taste better, but if steaming them is healthier, i have no qualms about it, since to me, the veggies taste good either way. 2. ive got a big bag of flax seeds (parents got me a bunch of groceries when i moved into my apartment). what's the best way to eat these while getting the most out of them? do i have to crush them, like with a mortar and pestel? or soak them in water? and then what? just sprinkle a spoonful or two on my chicken or beef? i actually like the taste of flax a lot, so any way if fine. i just want to know the best way to get the most nutritional value out of them. 3. is there a difference between "organic" minerals and "inorganic" minerals? i did a bit of googling but didnt really find anythign that i trust a lot... i'd rather trust you guys. apparently, there might be a difference between minerals that are bonded to some molecule that has carbon in it, compared to those that arent? is there a difference between getting, lets say, sodium from eating celery and eating salt? besides the other nutritional benefits of celery, of course. | ||

Butter is fine, coconut oil is also great. Olive oil is okay but not preferred for cooking, especially in the high heat of a stir fry. Don't be afraid of fat; if you prefer cooking with it, cook with it. 2. Flax is way overrated from a nutritional standpoint (very poor conversion of the Omega-3 ALA to more beneficial DHA/EPA). You can crush them, grind them or just eat them straight. 3. Minerals are typically inorganic, but often you will find the organic salt of a certain mineral, say magnesium citrate (citrate is an organic molecule) as opposed to say, magnesium oxide. Usually organic salts of minerals are more bioaviable and more easily absorbed. This is important if you are supplementing--you want to look for the most bioavailable form. Although in general micronutrients in real food sources are the best absorbed, but it can be impractical in terms of the amount required to hit your targets. | ||

and so if i just eat the flax seeds straight up, i wont just poop them out? edit - just thought of another question. is there any nutritional difference between eating frozen strawberries and blueberries compared to fresh ones? it's a lot cheaper to buy packs of frozen ones, stick em in a blender with some whole milk and bananas, and then drink it up.and it's more convenient as well. | ||

So when you use fat make sure it counts. Don't soak your vegetables in olive oil because then you will make your low fat meal a medium fat meal without increasing the taste even a tiny bit. Better to use no or extremely limited amount of oil and use the fat you aren't consuming to indulge in something like chocolate. Flax seeds are hard to digest without grinding them. So yeah that's what is preferable. Much beter omega 3 source than fish oil because it has both the oils and the fibers. | ||

Eat hardboiled eggs instead of scrambled because the scrambled eggs are usually from a powdered mix and cooked in some manner of nutritionally awful vegetable, canola or soybean oil. | ||

Blending is like mechanical digestion so it frees up all of the stuff within the fruit. Generally speaking, this is fine if you're looking to gain weight since taking in liquid calories is much easier... but if you're having blood sugar issues and things of that nature then freeing up all of the carbohydrates is like drinking a soda pretty much. Not good in that respect. If you are going to do that you should add in some good fats like coconut milk to blunt the rate of absorption of the sugars so you don't have a sugar crash On September 08 2012 15:49 Froadac wrote: Heading to college. Will be eating dorm food. Do any of you guys have any general recommendations. I'm trying to gain weight, if that matters. Generally, aim to eat real foods. Like ingenol said, things can often not be what they seem since the scrambled eggs might not actually be scrambled eggs by itself. If you have any doubts, just ask the people behind the counters how they prepare the food nicely and they will be willing to tell you. I don't think most colleges offer whole milk so that may be a problem. You can always ask though. | ||
