whats a kettlebell? is that like somekind of disease from uncooked oats?
Much like elephantitis of the scrotum, a kettleball is the hardening of fluid in the seminal track that leads to your “boys” turning black, large, to grow handles, and be fucking heavy.
Zulu,
your remark about lemon juice is correct. Citric acid has the same effect as acetic acid,it inhibits an enzime called phosphofructokinase that’s a part of the glycolysis cycle (use of carbs for energy), thus retarding it. Due to this happening the body is temporarily not capable of using them for energy (at least not as efficiently as normal) glucose will go to your liver and, if taken pre -post workout, to your muscles. Something like that. The effect was significant in rats and in humans also.
To continue the hijack,
Ike, I didn’t want to give the impression that I was being malicious. If I had a kettlebell up my ass, you’d understand though, wouldn’t you?
I guess I know how Goldberg feels now. Sarcasm. The lowest form of humour.
Now can I take my flame retardent cover-alls off?
Dude?
Ahh. That being the case, you have to end you posts with the classic Goldberg ‘hahahhahaa’.
Text communication blows.
Restless, btw, if you’re interested there’s a neat article by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig which mentions Cordain and the Paleolithic diet. You can find it on the Weston Price foundation site.

“As a side note, there is this theory that one of the reasons asians are smaller in stature than most other populations is because of the early incorporation of large quantities of grains in their diets…”
On another side note, the North Korean military recently lowered it’s minimum height requirement to 4’6". (Any Canadians feel free to convert this to centimeters. I’m metric-challenged.) But I think their main problem is not the large quantities of grains, but more likely starvation.
Every last one of you deserves a good swift cock punch.
Someone please do the honours.

And yet as another side note, having a large part of your food intake as grains results in malnutrition, serious mineral and possibly in EAA’s deficiency. I bet most of what they eat is rice.
Go to beyondveg.com and read the articles there, if you’re interested.
glycolysis only occurs in an anaerobic environment, so if you take lemon juice or acetic acid, you’d have to be sprinting to have it’s effects on you. On the other hand, if your environment is aerobic, the mitochondria go through the electron transport chain and make all the energy, I believe 18x more than glycolysis.
I just pound my oatmeal up my ass. Better absorption in the colon, especially if done while standing on your head humming the “Ballad of the Green Berets”. This had been proven to reduce your chance of colon cancer by 426.9867% if done on tuesdays. Warning : if you jam more than 12.67 ounces up your butt and weekends it can cause reverse colon spasmodic episodes through inhibition of the frabulator reflex.
fuck you iron doc, i thought you said 12.67 kilos now i’m in hospital and quite embarrASSed.
last time i (half) listen to a doc…
Sorry, my bad typing. The and should have been an on.
I fucking typed a long response, with an abstract and links to the full study text and it didn’t show up.
Jwright, glycolysis can be both aerobic or anaerobic. In the presence of oxigen pyruvate gets formed instead of lactate.
Restless, I found this blurb which you might find interesting:
Phytates/Phytic Acid are the storage form of phosphorus bound to inositol in the fiber of raw whole grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts. Although these foods have a high phosphorus content, the phosphates in phytates are not released through the digestive process. Phytates, particularly in such raw foods as bran is a concern because they can bind a portion of the iron, zinc, and calcium in foods, making the minerals unavailable for absorption. Although phytates do bind minerals, they may actually be preventing the formation of free radicals, thereby keeping the minerals at safe levels in the body. Phytates also have a role to play in cell growth.
Phytates are generally found in foods high in fiber. Since fiber-rich foods protect against colon and breast cancers, it is now thought that they are the protective agent in the fiber. It appears that, in binding minerals in the intestines, phytates inhibit the cancer process, especially when it comes to iron. Iron generates free radicals, and phytates may be keeping the mineral balance at a safe level within the body. Phytates act as an antioxidant. Scientists are beginning to express concern over excess iron in the body for this reason. Excessive iron is also known to increase the risk of heart disease. Even a small amount of phytates in food can reduce iron absorption by half, but the effect is less marked if a meal is supplemented with ascorbic acid, which can also help the absorption of zinc and calcium.
Phytates are also known to help prevent cancer by enhancing the immune system. Phytates may increase the activity of natural killer cells which attack and destroy cancer cells and tumors. By working directly to control cell growth, phytates may be an ideal protective agent against a wide range of cancers, carrying excess minerals out of the body, thereby protecting it from a potential overload.
Fiber, and their associated phytates also provide benefits by regulating the absorption of glucose from starch. Special care, however, must be taken not to overload children and the elderly with high fiber, ie., high phytate foods. Mineral supplements can be taken at a different time from the consumption of phytate-containing foods in order to get the best of both worlds.
Inositol is found in grains in which six phosphate groups are attached to the inositol molecule. Phytic acid occurs in unsprouted grains, seeds, and legumes and is particularly rich in the bran. Although these foods have a high phosphate content, the phosphate in phytates is not released by digestion. When bread is leavened by yeast, enzymes degrade phytic acid and phytates pose no problem. Phytic acid is also destroyed during baking and food processing.
Enzymes, called phytases, destroy phytates during certain food processes. Some of these food preparations are: the yeast-raising of dough, the sprouting of seeds, grains, legumes, the roasting of nuts, presoaking beans (never cook the beans in the same water as they were soaked), cooking cereals and seeds, nuts etc. (musli is out!), fermentation as in tempeh, miso, and natto, consuming acid foods along with zinc-rich foods, etc.

“I’m also using vinegar post workout since it was dicovered that it increases glycogen uptake by up to over 10% in the muscle after exercise in rats and simultaneously diminushes insulin response by up to 30%, though I’m not exactly sure about these numbers.”
restless im curious about something you said in the above quote. as you said it may increase glycogen uptake by 10% and decrese insulin response by 30%.
dont we want high insulin levels post workout? why would we want them diminished?
During non-post workout meals lowering insulin response is always useful.
I believe Cinnamon and Turmeric and are also useful in that respect.
