Ugh, I haven’t had blueberries since I’ve come back to school…at home I had them daily. And then you have a whole pineapple/strawberries/blueberries cocktail, you lucky son of a gun.
Quick question for you - I’ve heard taking 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil is the right dosage. Do you happen to think this is too much or too little. And would there be little worth to only taking smaller dosages?
Thanks Laroyal![/quote]
There are a couple of factors I would consider (general health issues) but that should be fine. In terms of fats I really don’t count how much I take in. I do eat A LOT!!
Even when I forget to mention it from time to time in my posts you cana count on a tablelspoon or 2 at each meal. I would say I average about 10-12 servings a day. Coconut oil is particullarly good for people with thyroid conditions or to transition into a low carb diet as the sort and medium chain triglcerides are easily metabolized so you won’t feel sluggish on low carbs.
I don’t know of anywhere I can get horse meat around here but I will keep it in the back of my mind:-)
Horse is a simular taste to cow meat actually,altogh I wouldnt receomend eating grown horses the ponys are much better! so try to get pony meat, that stuff is gourmet!
it is so delicious I tell you and you dont need no kind of sauce on it. Well at least not if its Icelandic. I would recomend coming to iceland and try it out

That sounds really good, I would love to come out to Iceland and try pony and catch a workout with you!! You had me at hello;-)
Chill the pom seeds in the fridge (say, for 1-2 hours beforehard) and sprinkle just a bit of sea salt on them.
Then, start a new thread, thanking me
that sounds really good I will have to try that:-)
where do ya find them in the first place?[/quote]
Normally, I’d say to buy the pomegranate fruit itself and seed it, but some stores actually sell the seeds in bags (Trader Joe’s, for instance). Easier and far less messy, but I forget the cost differential.
There is definitely an art to seeding the greatest fruit on the planet

By the way, to everyone who reads my thread I would like to personally congradulate two exceptionally strong women who have been kind enough to stop by and offer input and support, both Firebug and Cheeta recently competed in meets and both of them did terrefic and I want encourage anyone who follows powerlifting or the sport in general to check out their logs.

Great job ladies!!![/quote]
Why thank you Sir! Tis just the beginning tho… Won’t be long and you will be stepping on the platform yourself
You take 3 grams of glycine under tongue with each meal. I use it for:
Management insulin, and calming SNC.
You are giving support to hormonal control with fenuplex (insulin) and yin tonics as taurine (snc). What is the purpose of your glycine intake?
BTW, I use it for GH management first thing in the morning too.
Terrific log!
[/quote]
Thank You. The glycine under the tounge supports my insulin protocol by normalizing my cortisol response, increasing insulin sensitivity and as you noted calms the CNS. For me the main reason for it is normilization of the cortisol curve.

So, one is better off taking glycine under the tongue as apposed to simply drinking it in water?

This is a tip I gathered from Biosig 2 and I have been doing it ever since. I don’t know that it is really that much better but, every little bit helps right:-)
You do intake high doses of BCAA during workouts. Do you consider pedyalite useful with them yet?
Reviewing some literature from Poliquin, I saw his BCAA have 4:1:1 ratio. I?ve planning add pure leucine to BCAA powder for these purposes. I mean, if I intake 30 grams of BCAA with ratio 2:1:1 I make this mix:
20 grams BCAA plus 10 grams pure Leucine: 30 grams of BCAA with ratio 4:1:1. Is this right? Or it isn?t relevant.

Thanks in advance, Coach.

With the ratio I have not read much about the signifigance of it. The main thing is you want to get OVER 10.4 rgams of Leucine. I take in enough that I am sure my Leucine requirement is met and I have been happy with the results.
