Fitchella 2014 IT'S GO TIME!!!!

[BChillin]

This thread is nice for support, motivation, and whatnot. But those of you looking for actual advice on fitness and nutrition should look elsewhere. There is too much misinformation being spread here.

What is this? I don't even...

[footixy]

Misinformation how?

Steve's gummy bear diet
Comparisons of pre supps as meth
(Which is kinda true if you don't know how to properly use them)

[lehorne]

going to San Diego for family reunion this weekend (Nati's, Bali High Sunday Brunch, Anthony's, etc), so hear's to packing on the poundage! Bought weed today too for extra consumption and toleration of others.

Quick fact

Drink lots of water if taking pre workout supps

Or kiss your kidneys goodbye

Correct me if I'm wrong

I have heard this, plus other things that keep me away from them...Not sure how many are true, but better safe than sorry.

It seems like so many are slaves to pills and powders these days. Kinda crazy when there are no long term studies for most. What happened to just eating healthy, getting enough rest, etc.? I know several people who start their day with a 5 hour energy nearly every day. If your energy levels are that low then figure out why and change what is causing it, don't rely on stuff like that that to get through your day.

[footixy]

Which is why they are legal

Or some are illegal just with a label mask to be able to sell over the counter
Protect your organs people!

[lehorne]

Yep, they say "The most important muscles in the maintenance of health are those which range from the lower part of the chest to the hips, correctly known as the abdominal muscles. These muscles should be developed by all who wish to ensure proper activity in the vital organs of the body.". About to launch into these: http://smokh.org/Abdomen2.php

And as someone who has dealt with acute kidney failure, they ain't nothing to fuck around with.

I get constant kidney issues...I refuse to use pills or anything else. Plus, they just make me sick. There are definitely other, more healthy, alternatives.

[footixy]

Becka look into getting a whole food based supplement with these

Ingredients:
Juniper berries, parsley leaves, uva ursi leaves, dandelion root and chamomile flowers.

This will help soothe and repair kidney function

Awesome thank you! I am sick of kidney infections with no probable cause I will look into these...need that trip to Trader Joes...

[footixy]

And yes all this is advice proper for fitchella

If you can't take care of your inner machine, you can't produce outer results

[footixy]

Yea no prob
If you get it eventually you'll take 2 caps per meal
But make sure you cut out all liquids other than just plain water
Even chamomile tea plain could help with those kidney issues

Genetically Our human body can repair itself just add the right food

This. Plus not to mention on most of the containers it says that these haven't been approved by the FDA so who really knows if they re actually doing anything or if it's just a placebo affect. Either way these companies are making big money off of people.

My biggest fall back with trying to watch what I eat has been my love of ice cream. The low fat shit in the grocery store isn't very good. I recently found that I can stick a bowl of honey flavored Greek Gods yogurt in the freezer for an hour or two and it taste better than most ice cream I have had, even the full fat stuff. Yummm.

[scenicworld]

for another ice cream alternative, try overripe bananas!! just slice them up and freeze them, then put them in the blender to make banana flavored ice cream. I like to add a table spoon of peanut butter for flavor, it's delicious! you can also add some light chocolate syrup, fresh fruits or whatever you can think of to make your ice cream fun

I also have found that frozen grapes make a nice substitute for ice cream. Sounds strange I know but they are actually pretty good.

[guedita]

Yeah, frozen berries, bananas, grapes....all delicious in place of ice cream.

[locachica73]

Now if I could just find an alternative for salty snacks. I have been eating wasabi almonds, which do help and are better for me than chips I suppose, but they have a ton of sodium.

[guedita]

Seaweed or kale chips

[footixy]

Instead of any type of chip or baked style chips

Try and snack on unsalted nuts or seeds
With some sprinkled dried cranberries or bananas
It'll take a bit of getting use to but it's the best snack you can have

[locachica73]

I don't know that I am adventurous enough to try seaweed chips, but I will try to find kale chips next time I am at the store. Thanks chica.

[unit300021]

Kale chips are also really easy to make yourself. Just take some kale, put some olive oil salt and whatever else you want to season them with, an then just bake it in the oven for like minutes or so and they are done. I've never actually seen a seaweed chip though. I've seen seaweed and trader joes actually sells a really good wasabi seaweed for only 99 cents I think. It's not spicy at all the wasabi just gives it a great flavor. But yeah you need to get a flavored seaweed otherwise it doesn't taste like anything at all.

[JustSteve]

Make sure the kale is organic, have seen a couple reports that nasty shit has been found in the non version.

[locachica73]

I have been spending too much time cruising the internet since I have very little work to do. All of the nastiness in food is making me want to give up food completely, which would be good for my diet I suppose. What I thought were healthy food options are far from it after reading up on different restaurants, add to that the pesticides on my healthy fruits and vegis and the hormones in meat...

[footixy]

Paleo Diet I'm telling you
I've never felt better and clean inside and out

You'll notice big changes in your skin, hair and nails among many other things

[fatbastard]

I could probably get better results if I could force myself to eat more...maybe that will help my chest grow into my traps

Damm. Inspiring.

I wish I had the funds to be able to do something like that. I look at organic produce and grass fed meat at the grocery store and it just isn't something I can afford at this time. Also, I wonder sometimes if the organic sections of the grocery store is really as organic as they label them to be, or if they just know there are people out there willing to throw a few extra bucks for the peace of mind they are getting by shopping in that section.
