Dr. Berardi,
First, thanks for taking the time for doing this.
Simple question: Cottage Cheese is not available in Spain. I won’t even get into the fun I had explaining it or trying to translate the name.
There is another cheese, made with just milk and a little salt, called Burgos cheese. It looks a little like cottage cheese, but imagine one curd as opposed to many, with no liquid. It’s molded to a shape too. P/C/F is about 8.3g/0g/11g per 100g, if I remember the label correctly. Would this be a suitable substitute for cottage cheese for standard training purposes?
Thanks.
Blurb from a tourist website re: the cheese -
The so-called Burgos cheese takes its name from the Castilian city where it is made. It is a fresh, soft, watery cheese made with sheep’s milk. It is considered to be one of the most prestigious cheeses from Castilla y Le?n, together with Villal?n. It has a cylindrical shape, with grooves channelled down its sides and grooves marked on its surface. It does not have rind and has a compact, white paste, milky white in colour. It smells of fresh milk with a slight hint of acidity and salt. It is sometimes allowed to mature.[/quote]
This is probably even better than cottage cheese! Have at it!
Ok everyone, I think this post signals the end of my Guest Forum.
I’d like to thank the guys at T-mag for letting me come on here, get in touch with you guys and girls, and have a little dialogue about what kind of stuff you’ve been wanting to know. I’ll use this information to create new articles that’ll help further your knowledge and your physiques!
I’d also like to thank the T-mag guys for letting me plug a coupla products and services at www.johnberardi.com throughout the process.
One more plug -
Over at johnberardi.com we’re about to conduct a big (free, of course) survey of readers. The survey is designed to collect info about your training, nutrition, supplement habits (as well as a few other things) in order to find out what it really takes to succeed and get the body you want.
We hope to get about 5000 people to take it and with that kind of data, we’ll have some powerful information about what people like you need to do to succeed. The survey will help us figure out exactly what it takes and - importantly - what it doesnt take! We want to boil this health and nutrition down to the simplest common denominator.
Then we’ll publish the results here (assuming TC will let us!). If you’re game, please sign up for our newsletter (making sure we’re not sent to your spam filters) and we’ll let you know when it’s “go-time”.
As a bit of incentive, we’ll probably give one lucky survey person a free 4 month consult with us (worth over thousand bucks). So don’t be shy! Im pumped to analyze these data and give you some cool stuff! Yay stats!
Ok - end pitch there -
I hope all of you received some benefit from this little informal “chat” and - if you’re interested - let the T-mag guys know and we’ll try to do this again - maybe once or twice a year!
Peace y’all.
