Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[dem beats 1,223]

First off, I know how hard it can be for some people to gain strength, size, and endurance. Congratulations, that is awesome. fawk.... how tall are you stefan?

One of the best products for guys having trouble gaining is Udo's oil. I have put 5-6 ultra skinny guys on it, and it helped all of them gain pretty well. Just something to add to your protein shake.

I almost never recommend a brand, or product in general anymore. But that product has helps so many fellas I have trained with. I wish I repped their products. It is something I should be using myself, just poor lifestyle has prevented me.

5' 9.5" So I have the frame to get fairly big.

 

Does it have other stuff besides Omega 3 & 6? Reason I ask is I still eat a fair amount of sardines and salmon. Another thing I want to try is cod liver oil for vitamin k.

 

Walk around town with a tackle box of Udo's oil selling it like bud deliveries in CA.

I'm the same way. Don't like the full feeling. Can only eat two or three handfuls at a time. But I can eat every two hours.

I trained my body to be that way, then it all went to hell. It's about activity level, adapting to needs, and being active.

Our amounts of food were different though. I was in the 3500-7000 kcal level for 4-5 years. I burned off more than I ate though. I was losing pound after pound throughout the whole time. Sometimes i was gaining so much muscle it didnt make the scale move much thougb.

 I only weigh ~142, but this exact time last year I was 125! 

 

Holy shit! I haven't seen 142 since I was about 13. Even when I had cancer and lost all kinds of weight I only got down to ~160.

 

Eating throughout the day actually boosts metabolism. Perhaps you should try 2-3 large meals a day to slow down your metabolism.

LMAO!

It might have some vitamins. I never really paid attentiom. However, it is more than the label gives you. I don't know how or why. Maybe his cold press and unique blend preserve something. It just works in making you feel better. The skinny fellas just add it into the shake for more kcall.

The shake I usually recommend is a banana, or 2 if you need it., 30-50 grams of protein. Add a few tbsp of Udo's at the rate you feel you need to hit the kcal. Kind of like your butter drinking or olive oil drinking. Super dense. And it just works somehow.

The problem with a couple big meals a day is it will definitely lead to muscles wasting away when your active. In Stefan's case even more so.

He gets so much activity on top of the resistance training the muscles will starve trying to stay at a heavier weight.

I never had that issue, and my metabolism is still super high, and I no longer work out.

Nor I. When bulking this is exactly how I do it. I'll eat a modest (but high calorie) breakfast, and a big lunch and dinner. To cut (ie lose weight), I eat all day long like Stefan.

You talked about toasting spices and Indian food. So funny because I just talked with the wife about how we are goind to start eating more Indian food and I want to learn how to weild the spices.

I am a bit nervous about turmeric, it is a root like ginger correct?

I also never in my life though of grinding my own chili's. It just never even popled into my head.

Though I know it will be a long time beforen I give up onion and garlic powder it's slowly going away. I fucking hate pealing garlic though.

So peel 50 heads in one day.  You'll never sweat it again afterwards.  Gotta practice to make things easy. I go through about 3-5 heads of garlic a week.  I only peel the big pieces and the rest gets put in the refuse.  Doesn't take very long.  My inlaws cry when they watch me.  They do it and use some pampered chef chopping device and it takes them 5x as long.

[///M5 2,833]

Grinding your own chiles is worth it. If you're grinding anchos make sure to freeze the bastards first. It's like grinding up gummy bears otherwise.

Or toast, rehydrate and blend.

[///M5 2,833]

 

My wife will not eat vegis, so every morning, she gets a smoothie with a couple frozen strawberries, some OJ a cup of spinach (or other vegi that is mellow in flavor) and a scoop of protein. Usually an extra few ice cubes. Sometimes I will add milk or extra fiber.

She drinks it and it literally has increased her vegi intake by more than tripple I bet.

I do this every day, too. Not a lot of leafy green veggies, though. Can't stand most of them.

You can't taste the spinach. The vitamix destroys it. We buy the HUGE bag at Costco, use about half of it fresh, then before it goes bad, freeze it and use it frozen.

Really makes a difference.

<-has never thought of freezing spinach.  When mine starts to go I cook it.  I can eat a whole Costco box in a sitting that way.  in fact I'll be using one for dinner tonight.

Even dried anchos?

They sell dried ones at Cuz foods, err Cub

And by not working out you are not burning off as much calories. Resistance training both boosts metabolism and requires a surplus of nutrients to make "gains". So you in a way you need a logarithmic increase in nutrients.

So in your situation it's not surprising that you stopped working out and you didn't start loosing muscle. I bet your strength output and general ccardiovascular and aerobic performance have dropped. Not a bad thing by itself.

You gonna shit funny for a week.

 

Doesn't ever do that to me.  I regularly order it "chef hot" or 10 or whatever the high number is.  Doesn't change anything.

[///M5 2,833]

I make curry pretty frequently, but I unusually use a wet made curry base and then add in the protein and onion etc etc.

It was the a few times ago using a powder and then adding to it that I decided I wanted to build my own curries.

Read the label on the curry paste.  You'll laugh.  Of course, it is a spice blend.  If I had to choose though I'd take a curry base over a spice blend any day.  Of course by keeping things wet it means you can do different processing up front.  Either way making your own is not hard.

LULzzz...

 

We used to sit around getting baked and watched this show when it was still on MTV (ie before Nickelodeon polluted it). The first time I saw it I was tripping on bomb.

Love R&S.  Stay Put Hat and Boots, rofl.

[///M5 2,833]

Have you ever looked into baked good with coconut or almond flour? You can get 250 calorie muffins. 3 of those with 16 Oz whole milk is 1050 calories.

Cornbread muffins are packed as well.

I make sure to freeze it without compressing it. Blends like a fucking dream then. I am going to try getting her to eat wakame salad.

Do you have any suggestions for what kind to buy? I have NO experience with wakame until miso soup but I LOVE thay salad at sushi joints. I could easily eat a plate or 2 of it.

[///M5 2,833]

Just go to United and buy it fresh.  Absolutely addicted to that as well.

Indeed. Something changed in how I approach cooking and started wanting to learn it. And a wet base is so far ahead of a spice blend its crazy.

I'm lucky. Most of my childhood I ate extremely diverse. Helps me with knowing flavors. Now I'm getting to the point where I can match many flavors to their origins and paint my meals by way of knowing how they come together. Deconstructing and now reassembling them to get the flavors I want. Kind of like when you learn a new set of math proofs or science law. I could fake it before and just go through the motions, but now I am learning to control and manipulate my food.

I didn't know they sold it fresh. Fricking awesome.

Well like normal their huge snowfall is missing us.  Theres ~5" or so on the ground, but doesn't look like it will get to the 8-12 and certainly not higher than that.

Speaking of fringe dieting, have any of you ever tried flushing yourself with fiber? Just pound psyllium husk and water?

Supposed to keep you regular. I remember one weekend I was a bit backed up, took this "all natural" colon cleanse stuff. It said take 1-2 tablespoons for a 170 pound male. I was not doing good and thought a bit extra would be ok since I was 6'2 260 and healthy. Fast forward a few hours, I couldn't leave the fucking room next to the bathroom. I was pulling life essences from my organs just to facilitate the needs of my colon.

I read the label to see if there is something to slow down the process. I noticed then that the dose was 2 teaspoons. I was working retail but randomly had a weekend off, and the whole time off was wasted. Just got better in time for work on monday.

I'm guessing since you somewhat regularly eat it, or it's the "good stuff?" :shrugs:
