Grilled/blackened is a favorite way of doing fish for me.
169.5lbs on my scale today! I haven't been under 170lbs in quite a while. Last week I surfed between 170.0 and 171.5 and for some reason I could not get under (the mostly psychological) 170lbs.
Congrats. Right now I'm fluctuating between 176-179, but 170 is my wintertime goal. I'm deep into training for a triathlon (23 days to go), so my goal right now is making sure I eat enough (focusing on carbs & protein) to keep going.
Actually, my real goal is maintaining mental focus at this point (and not getting hurt).
Revisiting this discussion:
You piqued my curiosity on this. So I watched ‘Super Size me’ (Again) and ‘Fat Head’. Plus, I researched Some interesting notes behind the Filming of Super Size me. I didn’t find too much empirical data showing that Morgan Spurlock consumed a lot of ‘additional food’, but what I did find interesting was that others were commenting that Spurlock was a chronic alcoholic, and dank heavily off the camera, which explains part of the reason his liver was having so many issues during his blood test(s) during the filming. Not to mention, we all know if you consume a lot of alcohol, you’re likely going to gain weight as well.
FTR, it seems Spurlock also has a integrity issue with his honesty as a person even off the camera, being others were commenting he isn’t a very truthful person in general, which I believe hurts his credibility as someone making a documentary about eating/obesity in America.
Kudos to you for taking the time to watch Fat Head as an alternative perspective. I can't know what actually happened, but after watching Fat Head myself, it just seemed much more likely to me that Spurlock was deceiving his audience and scripting the outcome.
I’m a detective by nature (And Profession), but I found ‘Supersize me’ to be more entertaining, and Fathead to be more of a actual process of interviewing/dissecting down Supersize me and what was wrong with it and the misconceptions that followed.
The things with films like this, is the camera will show you _exactly_ what the director wants the audience to see from their angle, and even with the camera off, there are a lot of details that we don’t know and probably will never know. What was interesting about Fathead, the director (Tom Naughton) contacted Morgan Spurlock‘s agents multiple times to obtain a ‘food chart’ based off what he was eating during his documentary, and none of them would release/acknowledge his request. Which is kind of telling in some ways.
Thanks. Nothing that ambitious (yet
)It’s a local Olympic-distance (1500m swim, 42k bike, 10k run). It will be my first one, so we will see how that goes. I’d like to get a couple of more sprints and olympics under my belt, and then a Half Ironman, before trying to tackle a full Ironman.
Speaking of misleading food documentaries, has anyone seen “What the Health” on Netflix?

Hoping you have good weather. Crush it!
Just another full day of eating in the life for Relentless with 8 meals. (Oh, And this doesn’t include breakfast either = 6 Eggs/Protein shake). Every two two hours for the bodybuilder diet.
New wrist wraps by Stoic. I can’t believe I went this long without investing in these for compression to allow for more stability/lifting heavier. Outstanding quality.

Gutwrench eats every three hours. Gutwrench doesn’t do push ups. Gutwrench pushes the earth down.
I lift things up, I put them down (Deep german accent) .....
But Believe it or not, I don’t do Push-ups. Nothing against them, I just need to preserve my wrists for other training methods. Great exercise, but not really part of my training.
If you say so.

Farmer's walks? Or is that a way of saying you've been training that since you were 10 or 11?
Well, I’ve been lifting for for almost ten years. But the bodybuilding started over a year ago in July 2018. I used to do push-ups, but phased them out. For a few warm ups, sure, but nothing past that. I have plenty of other training that takes precedent over push ups. What works for someone else, may not work for my training. It’s all variable.
The push up line was a joke. My subtleness is a curse.
You started 10 years ago; that’s when I quit.
I don’t plan on doing this forever. It’s physically taxing, and I don’t want to be to a point where I’m arthritic where I can’t enjoy life either. Which this is a side passion for me, and I enjoy seeing the results of my hard work that I put in. It’s not on a professional level, but more or less to be the best version of myself that I can be. That’s really my end goal to see what my genetic limits are, but train smart and efficient.
Ice. And if you’re physically able, light wrist stretching to keep everything loose as possible.
Hey RP, any chance you've seen a multi grain hot cereal you'd recommend? I've seen Better Oats in stores, but it's only in instant packet form (no sugar or other additives). There used to be a sweet midwestern brand that sold here but they tanked during the recession. Nothing with flax or similar. I'll add those myself.
You know, I don’t actually. (Although, Hot cereal sounds really good right now, Im always hungry). I’ve actually tried to venture away from oatmeal/oats kind of in general, I find that I don’t like the fiber sitting in my stomach, and it takes longer to break down, which then the blood has to be transferred to the stomach, which can affect my ‘Pump’ in the gym. (It sounds strange, but it’s true.)
I still do add a half cup of oats to my protein shake for the added thickness everyday. I was eating oatmeal once a day/7 days a week for a month, but I found that the added fiber wasn’t benefiting me.
What about as an alternative, hot porridge? Seems like that’s fairly customizable.
Try lifting fasted. Much better. Also, oatmeal is a porridge. Porridge is just a name for a type of cooked grain. The one I bought years ago didn't have oatmeal, but it had barley, rye, buckwheat, millet, etc.
