It's rice that havn't been peeled and polished meaning it has a sort of brown/gray shell around it that contains bucket loads of energy and other stuff that's good for you. The down side is that it takes roughly 45 minutes to cook and the taste is not for everyone, it can often feel flakey and a bit earthy. I should also add that, that's a monster meal. Something you eat if you have a very active day ahead of you, trying to burn that off in just a day will require some heavy work. I wouldn't recommend it as something "in between meals". Is this different from brown rice? They sound like they're the same. And if anyone eats Japanese rice, there's an "in-between" variant called Haiga which keeps the kernel or something like that. It's more nutritious than white, less nutritious than brown, but tastes a lot closer to white. Right now I'm eating multi-grain rice which is a combination of different kinds of rice and grain (like barley). I also throw in some Ezekiel bread. Ezekiel bread French Toast is still delicious. =) | ||

It might not seem like much but keeping track of what you're doing physically is incredibly encouraging and pivotal in increasing your abilities. it was a requirement at my high school for running and I became addicted to it, me and my team would check each others and shit, its like athletic facebook, except not shitty. | ||

As far as supplements go, what's your opinion on trader joes Protein powder versus getting a cliff bar or some other protein bar. Actually thinking about it, both work out to about the same cost per month. $12ish? Edit: Silly now thikning that the cost ends up being the same. Just forget protein bars , they full with corn syrup , soya and preservatives aka full of sugar , estrogens and ... well preservatives , just forget them . About oat meals , well " Two things here. First, Asians are part of the 25% of the world population that are carbohydrate adapted. Provided they're plain carbs, they can eat them and still remain lean. Asians can tolerate carbs more because their culture has had agriculture longer than other cultures; they're adapted. (On that same note, perhaps soy is bad for Caucasians but not so bad for Asians. Think about it.) But, most Asians can't tolerate diary. It just hasn't been around long in their diets. Second, you're not Asian, and oatmeal is the most common food allergen. It comes from the grass family after all. In 2001 I ran blood work on every single one of my clients using six different labs. Oatmeal always came out as the most frequent food allergen. It can raise cortisol and lead to the storage of fat in the abdominal area. I'm anti-oatmeal, especially for Caucasians. Quinoa may be a better choice. " i dont agree 100% about the adaptation thing but yea unless ur really ripped eating oat meal thinking is a good food esp for getting leaner , well it just doesnt cut it . | ||

Should I just neglect my chest (gasp) and do more pulling exercises until it gets better? Which exercises would you recommend? I'm currently doing a lot of face-pulls, seated rowing and incline lateral raises. Any suggestions? | ||

My left shoulder suddently started hurting a few weeks ago, and my physiotherapist told me that I've over-focused on pressing exercises in my training regime. Can't really understand that, I've been doing a lot of pull ups the last few years. Anyway, he told me to exclude my chest training for a while and focus more on pulling exercises. He further gave me a stretching exercise that he told me to do as many times a day as I felt like, and also recommended me a rotator cuff exercise.

I suppose it depends on your workout regime; I work out 5-6 days a week with vigorous exercise (easing into marathon training as I get over a knee injury). Having rolled oats (none of that packaged garbage you get at the grocery store full of sugar) in boiled water with a little bit of cinnamon is a decent way to get the carbs into your system to start your day. It assists with brain function as your body has been deprived of carbohydrates for a long period of time while sleeping, as well as it helps fuel your body for your day's workout. Of course, there are other means in which you can get carbs early in the morning; such as a non-fat, fruit smoothie (which I often do for variety). I do agree, humans do not need grains at all, and any intake of them should be STRONGLY limited. The nutrients you get from grains can be easily acquired from other food sources. I limit myself to approximately half a cup of oatmeal for my grain intake 4-5 days a week. I eat it as it is a healthy, cheap, and quick way to fill one's stomach and bolster energy levels. If my workout schedule was much more limited than it is now, I would stray away from grains completely. Bread, of course, should always be out of the question as well as all forms of pasta especially (unless carbo loading for long distance running). | ||

Working out or not isn't the issue; I have to do the recommended rotator cuff exercises as well as more pulling exercises in order to fix the problem. Still wondering if anybody has had similar issues and/or tips. | ||

All soya products is a big scam ffs . it used to be cheap food for animals that had excess quantities left overs. So brilliant marketists thought why not promoting them as a healthy food and make millions if not billions. Soya products are the most estrogen ones for males. Fyi in u.s alone after so many soya products esp the milk ones , even babies with the latest research are full of estrogens and have various problems , women have miss cycles ( or howerver u can pronounce that ) etc. About the vegan thing is been discussed in all those years so much it not even fun , homo sapiens arent a vegan specie btw. Its not how many years you live but how you live them and its not my birthday ;p | ||

fortunately, you can do the same by restricting carbohydrates, particularly easily digested and refined carbs, without the CR. see: http://www.paleonu.com/panu-weblog/2009/7/14/calorie-restricted-monkeys-part-i.html | ||
