I definitely wouldn’t eat a ton of fruit ups. As I wrote “maybe SOME fruit”. Really just for nutrients and digestion.
Keep in mind: I’m only saying what I would do. And that’s today, as a 36 year old athlete with 2 decades of training under my belt. As a young buck, I’d probably do it different still.
Haven’t run the Juggernaut method, but I like the looks of it. I bought the “Thoughtful Pursuit of Strength” from Chad and enjoyed it. It’s got a few programs in it like that.
Yup. Or donate them if they’re still good. I just dumped a bunch of food that had gone bad in my pantry. No sunk cost fallacy: no point in putting the junk in your body to recomp costs.
I’ve thrown away a lot of food people have bought me. I still appreciated the sentiment of the purchase immensely. I don’t need to turn it into poop to show how much I appreciate it.
Lol just kidding. I think there’s a food bank by one of the academic buildings at my university. Either that or I’ll toss em. They haven’t gone bad but if you say they’re crap then I will do away with them.
Just wondering - why? The biggest detriment to drinking a ton of milk is all the sugar, aka lactose, and skim milk has pretty much exactly the same amount of lactose as whole milk. The milkfat is probably the healthiest part of the milk besides the protein.
Or maybe you’re just saving the fats so you can get some other sources in and not waste all your fat intake on just milk.
Not suggesting you don’t know what you’re doing with nutrition, sorry if it came across that way - I’m just genuinely curious.
Any “fruit” that’s still “good” a month after you bought it isn’t worth eating. If you want fruit, buy some bananas or apples or something. They’re dirt cheap, easy to eat and taste good.
I’m big on only getting my animal fats from animals that are fed their natural diets, hench my grassfed kick. I COULD get grassfed whole milk, but I don’t really think of milkfat as the best fat I could have in the first place. It’s a lot of saturated fat, and at a gallon of the stuff, that’s a LOT of saturated fat to be taking in, even if it’s from a good source. It’d be easier for me to just cut out that fat source, still drink the milk, and then get my saturated fats in a more controlled order from eggs and meat.
And again: this is a product of me having to watch my LDL numbers. I’d care less if I didn’t have to, haha.
Didn’t take it that way at all dude: always happy to discuss my approach.
Makes perfect sense. It’s also something you can really nail with your experience. GOMAD has always seemed to me to be a foolproof way of making sure people can’t fuck up getting the nutrients they need to do a program, like the BTM diet.
In that regard, I remember reading about Kroc drinking TWO gallons of skim milk a day to support getting bigger. It was because they were working a job with no bathroom breaks, so they had to drink the first gallon QUICK so that they had a place to deposit the fluid as they worked on the second gallon. Total meathead play, haha.
That’s awesome.
I don’t believe my stomach will tolerate a gallon of milk a day. Maybe a gallon of unsweetened almond or cashew milk, but that’s still a lot.
Haha, yeah. That’s not real fruit, @tlgains. Therefore, not that healthy.
There’s tons of books, articles, lists, pictures, etc. all over the place that tell you what is good for you, but if it comes in a plastic bag, cardboard box, or can stay good for months on end, it’s probably not the healthiest food.
Notes: Came up with this because I needed to get in my chins and keg pressing and I’m really not smart. My right elbow and left glute still ache, so apparently this doesn’t fix that. Will get in Poundstones when I go pick up my kid.
