Don't forget bananas; they're fantastic on so many different levels.

Add parsnips, butternut squash, onions, sweetcorn, cabbage, pumpkin [including seeds], turnips.... to the soup!Timed Out said:I dont even know 5 vegetables.
Though related to tobacco, chili peppers, potato, and aubergine, it's a fruit... but it matters not.Timed Out said:Is a Tomato a fruit or Vegetable btw? :

OK here is yesterdays food:

12:30pm - Homemade beefburger with 92% beef, salsa, cauliflower mash, mixed lettuce, 2 fish oil caps.
3pm - Pecan encrusted salmon, spinach, 2 fish oil caps, green tea, green apple.
5-6pm Workout. 10 minutes active mobility, 45 minutes weights with 20g whey/20g maltodextrin.
7pm - Homemade Apple and Mushroom Turkey Burger, Quinoa, mixed seasonal leaf salad, slice of fruit cake, 2 fish oil caps.
10pm - Homemade Peanut butter fudge bar. Chopped carrots

. How can you eat that much! However i do agree its crucial to get a lot of water on board. I might try some homemade drinks but i like smooth drinks not ones with 'bits' in.Re: Supplements
Mmm! Don't you all wish you were guests at David's Cricket Retreat?
The problem is, I would just be waiting for the next meal :laugh:
Interestingly, I was only asked yesterday about Green Tea and it's "thermogenic" substances that help you metabolise more fat.
However, it is suggested that it has many more health benefits, such as:
- Eliminates free radicals preventing cancer development by blocking the growth of substances that causes cancer. This also arrests aging.
- Connects with cholesterol, absorbs and blocks it.
- Decreases cholesterol level in blood and prevents bad cholesterol caused by oxidation, which prevents narrowing of blood vessel caused by the buildup of bad cholesterol.
- Prevents arterial sclerosis, thrombosis, heart attacks and brain strokes.
- Effective for high blood pressure.
- Blocks a function of enzyme that digests and absorbs sugar and prevents diabetes.
- Suppresses aggregation of platelets and prevents thrombosis such as heart attacks and brain strokes.
- Fights bacteria and viruses and prevents influenza, food poisoning and cavities including including: O-157, Dysentery, Cholera, Mouth bacteria that can damage teeth, gums, and lead to periodontal disease, Piccoli, which causes gastric ulcers.
- Improves conditions of intestines by blocking growth of bad bacteria and enhancing good bacteria like bifid bacteria. This regulates the function of intestines.
- Connects with substances (breath, fish, meat, human waste, etc.) and prevents odour.
- Detoxifies by connecting with poisonous substances and harmful heavy metals (lead, chrome, mercury, cadmium, etc.) and dissolves it.
- Changes harmful ultraviolet rays into non-harmful light in a plant to protect it.
- Gargling with greentea is believed to be an effective way to protect oneself from influenza because of tea’s anti-viral functions.
Worth a try?

Re: Supplements
I would temper that by saying Heme iron (from meat) is generally unaffected by tannins. Non-heme iron (from grains and greens) is affected by the tannins in tea.
That means if you eat meat and are not an anemic you can drink tea anytime.
Veggies and/or anemics would need to avoid tea at meal times or add some lemon or milk (vitamin C and calcium reduces the effects).

Re: Supplements
Quite right.
The major sources of iron, from meat are:
Liver, black pudding, kidney, game (especially pigeon, venison and partridge), whitebait, coc-kles, mussels and oily fish (especially sardines and pilchards).
If you eat sufficient of the above, you are probably consuming enough iron not to worry about iron from plant foods.
I rely quite a lot on iron from plant foods, even though I am not a vegetarian and as a mild shortage leads to adverse effects on work capacity, intellectual performance, behaviour and disease among other things, I take no chances. It is easy for me though... I don't drink tea
.
It is worth bearing in mind that teenagers are at risk of anemia and require a greater intake of iron than others.

Re: Supplements
The secret there is the amount of home made food. Plus the Foreman grill is brilliant, cooks meat so quick and takes some of the excess fat away.

Re: Supplements
It's top secret so keep it quiet...
4 scoops chocolate protein powder (casein is best)
2/3 cup of flaxmeal (you can get Linsuit brand from Tesco)
4 tablespoons of natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
1/4 cup water
Splenda
Mix everythign together in a large bowl. Stir it into a sticky blob. it's very important to not put in too much water so don't overdo it. Divide the blob into 4 and wrap the portions in clingfilm. Keep them in the fridge and eat straight from cold.
Easy peasy.
