    Welcome to the IHoP

    Perfect postlude to my Mexico story. You choose your own perils in life. Some are of course given to you but you can surely alter them.

    In Mexico, 90% of our company got sick. Of those 90%, 100% of them carried one hell of a medicine cabinet with them. The 10% of us that didn't don't medicate. Environment and your way of interacting with it is a bitch. More interesting the 10% also followed me around and ate street food on top of the all inclusive stuff.

    That's funny, I find it grainy. Not so used to eating my fats in powder form though. Stefan if you want butter powder I can tell you how to make it *gags* ....maltodextrin? It isn't a fat, it's a funky carbohydrate made from the breaking down of starch. In cuisine is it used as a fat? not quite "as" a fat, lol I read more. That is how you get all the powdered fats. Interesting. I figured you'd read If not, I'd answer. More fun to read though.

    Let me lay everything out so less speculation can be made. eat something light in morning. few hours later I drink 1L water + 30g whey + 30g dextrose ten minutes later I start my workout, and for the next 1.5hours I drink 1L water + sodium + 60g dextrose After workout I drink another 1L water + 60g dextrose + 30g whey + sodium shower For the next hour I eat carbs + protein After an hour or so I start drinking whole milk which lasts for the rest of the day, and eat other shit. Currently I'm getting in approx 3300kcal, and for the last three months it has netted higher strength, but likely still limited due to less muscle mass grown (no substantial weight change, and bf% doesn't seem any different to the eye). In the past when I could drink an entire gallon of whole milk daily without lactose issues I was getting around 4000kcal, and after a month or so the gains were noticeable. So at this point it's simply more kcal I need. I recognize the use of carbs for refilling muscle glycogen stores, and anabolic response from high insulin levels, but it's not my plan to eat a shit-load of "sugar" to get the rest of the kcal I need. I could also argue all day long that I don't believe there is anything wrong about eating that much butter in terms of cardiovascular health, but I feel it would be wasted energy so I'll simply shrug it off. I don't give a shit about "all natural," I just eat what I feel is healthy, and that happens to include butter. Also fwiw I tested my RMR with an o2->co2 meter: 1600kcal. What is a sodium shower? I also don't believe butter will do anything to your heart either. I do however believe that olive oil and other omega rich fats have value MUCH MUCH greater value to brain, heart, and many other organs over saturated fat. Not related to cholesterol at all, but how they interact both with your organs. I add sodium to my drinks. Take shower, then eat. Why not just suck on some chocolate salty balls?

    Duck eggs occasionally. Not this year, but my other BIL grew some for meat and will have eggs next year. Yummy.

    What's the argument? I have some Tapioca Maltodextrin here. Let's you make fun powders which fuck with people when you serve them /> In the sports nutrition world maltodextrin is always jumping from being a sugar to being a complex carb. Chemically it is complex but at times it causes a fast increase in insulin and quick intrance into the blood stream. This makes it act like a simple carb aka sugar. To me its a nouveau cuisine I am going to confuse your taste bud magic powder. Didn't realize it even had calories or significance. I'm dubious since I don't know how to grow it.

    What? go to a chicken farm I've seen the same with cattle and pork. Free range chicken is an option, and the ones I have used, do indeed taste different. That could all be mental though. NOWHERE near as nasty. Not even close. Either way, I don't buy beef/pork from the grocery but I don't know anyone that raises chickens. Feed lot anything is bad. With beef/pork though it's MUCH better than poultry. Turkeys might be worse than chickens...if you use your nose. In comparison, cow shit smells GOOD.

    I'd buy whatever is cheaper or cosmetically worth it to you

    Question

    If I took a dump in your socks would they still keep your feet warm?

    Any reason not to test with potatoes? I always have bags of them sprouting. They are easier to cut. Can't say that I've ever julienned a potato either. Sprouting ones may be a bit soft and sticky to have as much consistency as the carrot.

    When I bought mine I brought something like 10lbs of carrots to the store and julienned them all. Finally found the one I wanted. Fit is king. Blade is secondary.
  21. errr, in laymans terms Kevin is a moron so ignore his recommendations. He can't explain any of them anyways as the t/s are wrong and he pulled them out of a hat. I am confident in Quentin's design enough that I would recommend it even though I haven't even looked at the driver specs or double checked anything. Roll with it!
  22. He needs to check EVERY connection just like the ground. Bare metal, strong contact, nothing loose, no wires poking from anything. Exactly what I meant although your clarification is good considering...

    And of course it isn't whoppers. Beer for a snack. I think like a bavarian though and classify beer as food, not a beverage.

    Sounds like me on a day when I put 100 miles on the sled. Pretty much the only lifting or exercise I get, lol.
