We all have a weakness for beer haha.
xxxx gold is mothers milk.
I believe in the same thinking as you teatrea. I don't over train. I do things for fun be it what ever sport or activity. Back in the day I over trained I ended up injured more than not. I love having a week of doing little then the fire burns and you put in a solid week of training and feel amazing. Everything feels good when everything is balanced.
Raw is good! I reckon I eat 60% or more raw atm. Slow cooker is good we throw all sorts of veggies in there then eat it on rice etc. cheap way of cooking and does last for days.
Downwinder I've been watching some you tube clips on lactic acid etc today very interesting.
Now I think everyone here has a valid point. Firstly with studies and scientific results on diets and supplements and good fats and bad fats its important to understand the science behind each study, who is financing the study? Who is funding the LABS where the studies are taking place and what agenda they are putting forward.
Some initial factors to consider from my four years of recent study I have looked at into children's health.
Firstly just riding a sup will keep your body in a state of exercise, as well as getting the vitamin D from the sun and the sea spray which is starting to be seen as a benefit.
Flexibility, body weight strength exercises and 1-2 hours of movement or 10,000 steps is needed for cardio vascular exercise.
Most kids today average 20-30 mins including walking around school.
Also vegtables are limitless even potatoes you cant eat enough potatoes (not chips or fried potatoes) but steamed or baked to cause cardiac risk.
Sweet potatoes are better. Colour variety is the key, more colours the better.
Fish is also limitless you will not be able to eat more fish than you will consume in exercise.
Fruit is limitless in whole form. We do this experiment with the kids. Buy an orange juice bottle I like the nudie ones that tell you how many oranges are in the bottle and then buy the same whole oranges, its tough to eat 8 and a half oranges in one sitting but easy to down 1 litre of orange juice. This becomes hilarious in juices like breakfast juice, when you are eating up to 8 different fruits. Thats why they are so sweet. Ribena is another good one it can take almost half an hour to eat the fruit in those Ribena bottles.
Nuts and legumes are again okay if they are raw, unsalted basically limitless with other foods in between meals.
Chicken is good if you eat it the quantity you can carry in your hands, red meat too. Paleo belief.
Eggs waver between good and bad. again only what you can carry 1 or 2.
Milk unlimited.
Sugar needs to be explained to children as well as salt to improve the taste of your food.
This is whats wrong with studies, most of them are right or can be proven beneficial on all fronts.
In Scandanavian studies where governments run semi independent studies 1 hour of light walking has been proven to be the most beneficial to your health.
It could even reverse the obesity problem in children.
1 hour of walking in nature doubles the effect and can reduce your chance of depression.
SUP riding is similar but also includes more resistance so its beneficial to your health.
I (mostly!) gave up alcohol 5 months ago..................I cannot believe the positive impact on my body/health!! I have lost 10kgs and...................I have now been able to move into a much wider range of performance SUP boards.
Downwinder that is a great smoothie for breakfast and lunch can you show us a picture of it all cut up before you put it in the blender I think I would like to try to make a few of those for myself.
We were told at university from the dieticians that you can not eat too many fruits to be harmful, espiceally as you eat a wide range and not just one specific fruit like apples. It would be interesting to see how much of your snack fruit blends down to. Probably less than 1 small 300ml tropical juice. Most people are consuming more fruit than you when they have an orange juice for lunch with their sandwich. Plus you are getting all the fibre.
Your skin fold must be insanely low.
Thanks for sharing the smoothy recipe do you mind if I start using it as a morning green shake.
Downwinder, it actually shocks me that you drink such crap beer when you eat like that! Carlton cold seriously? You must spend too much on fruit and veg to pay for real beer that isnt made with rubbish!

I'm going to be a Guinea Pig and put a Tea-spoon of Baking Soda in my GREEN SLIM Blend for the next 4 weeks and see how my body feels.
I will look into milk downwinder, its suprisingly hard to get kids these days out for any exercise. its only going to get worse i fear with virtual reality.
Whats your view on eggs?
Thanks for that smoothie recipe DW, I'll get onto that when i fly home from work this weekend, Im not allowed in the kitchen, so I'll get the wife onto it. I don't drink alcohol anymore but i must agree with you on the tooheys old - i used to love that stuff.
Couple of questions about the recipe and what do these do?
we dont have L- Glutamine
whats Came came?
Chlorella?
one thing I'm very curious about these superfoods that have x amount more vitamins and minerals than ordinary food , is how much does your body actually absorb and use?. It seems these foods only grow in exoctic faraway places deep in the amazon or high in Tibet So if an orange contains a certain amount of vitamin c and product x from mount wo woo contains 500 times more . does your body use and retain the extra in the woo woo over the orange or do you just piss it out along with your hard earned
Downwinder ill have a guinness session with you , as long as you shout , LoL,
