[guitarzan]

Cape, I tried that but it didn't work

Haha, probably wouldn't work on me either...lol

[almostgone]

AG, I get 1.2g magnesium from my diet (and around 5g potassium), do you really think supplementing will help? My sodium intake is low think it might affect potassium levels somehow?

I would work off of your CMP? Magnesium affects the sodium: potassium ratio

[cousinmuscles]

Added magnesium supplementation to my list of things to do which I procrastinate

Cyanocobalamin still has to to be converted to active B12 forms, thus doesn't eliminate the rate limiting step by converting enzymes, I'd be curious to try parental methyl-B12 and just oral adenosyl-B12 if I could find them.

The somnolent thing is actually good I'd pin on Saturdays so that to enjoy extra sleep on Sunday.

Ummmmm, say what?


Sublingual or injectable B12 revs me up and my appetite increases?
On the sublingual , it's just the El cheapo cyanocobalamin drops. The injectable is pharma.
I actually dropped any B12 supplementation because my blood is naturally rich....too rich.

[guitarzan]

Whew, diet has not gone well this weekend...
Oh well, almost made five weeks of near perfect diet, back on the wagon tomorrow

[hammerheart]

Without B12 my blood counts become poor, too poor lol.

Have not heard of that type of B12. Had a typo though meant 1000mcg ED not 100mcg ED. But once my appetite turned around I just stopped pinning B12 and carried on,.

What about replacing some of your carbs with faster digesting ones?

Most of my carb intake is from simple carbs already, mostly rice, potatoes, and some fruits.

[hammerheart]

I usually drop a couple farts. As I mentioned my diet has 80g+ fiber, I can produce gas at a consistent rate. Easy to clear an area of the gym.

I politely ask to leave. It usually works.

Holiday weekend: totally understandable
Back on track this week!

[Charlie67]

Take the undies off put shorts back on. Walk out put your foot up on the headrest. Look at him smile and ask if he comes here often ? Then tell him he looks like he’s in really good shape. That should get him moving on sooner than later.

Ha, I wish i had the guts.

Although I'm not sure why you assume I wear underwear to the gym???

[Charlie67]

Cape, I tried that but it didn't work

Haha, it absolutely would have worked on me PB, lol.

What did you eat that constitute a fail? I've seen the stuff you grill, ain't nothing wrong with any of that stuff!

[Capebuffalo]

Cape, I tried that but it didn't work

Lol. You made me laugh out loud.

Any idea how many fried peach and apple pies I ate from the orchard in the mountains? Me neither but it was a lot.

[almostgone]

Without B12 my blood counts become poor, too poor lol.

Totally understand that. I thought I recalled you were borderline anemic, but wasn't sure?

If I ever hit the lottery, I want Mrs. AG and I to take a few short holidays. Always wanted to see the coastline @ Amalfi and check out the Colosseum....and of course, while in Rome I should do as the Romans and increase my stash of Testovis, right. It is hands down the best prop I have ever used or is at least on par with Testolic. While I'm there I could easily part with a pint of high Hgb/high HCT O+ blood.

After that, I would be off to Iceland!!!

[almostgone]

Poor bastard must have terrible eyesight.

Oh, trust me, I went beyond the grill! Here's an example, today's lunch

[almostgone]

Who's eating the veggie straws? They're over close to the salt and pepper shakers.

Good eye! That would be my two year old, she loves them.

Smart girl! Those things are somewhat addictive!!!

Yes, I tried one, and had to make myself stop...lol

[guitarzan]

What's crazy bout her, is her favorite foods are grilled chicken (wont eat fried) raw veggies, including broccoli, raisins and dried fruits!

[Charlie67]

At least you had lettuce and a pickle.

I wish my daughter(s) had that problem! They eat like crap mostly.... I really should be holding them to the same standard I hold myself. But they're cute, and I'm sweet on them.... So they pray on my weakness.

Haha, yea my seven year old eats mostly crap too

You know, I been thinking about this and discussing it with the lady regarding the baby we have due in Feb.

You know how we are dieting, and we are doing good for a week or more, then some jackass brings 24 donuts to work and sets them out fir "everybody" to enjoy (thanks fir the favor.. SMH)

Any way we see a tasty donut, start thinking how it tastes awesome, then we fight this urge for hours, gid damn donut haunts us all day, then we eventually grab it, eat it fast, and then go "what the hell did I do that for, now I want more"

Well it's the memory of how sweet n tasty it is that wears on us the hardest and makes temptation too much to bear.

If we were never introduced to the donut at a young age, we'd have no idea what it tastes like, or desire to experience it again.

That's my point, we are going to keep sweets and junk food completely away from new babies pallet as long as we humanly can. It's sort of a little experiment. But I think I can put this child on a path to healthy eating from the time it's born.

Never having exposed it to sugar, it should never crave or miss what it never had.

That's a good thing to try. As a kid I was allowed any sort of crap food on a daily basis but was restricted eggs and meat at once weekly, cause my parents heard in TV those are bad for health. Guess what, I was a fatty bag of potatoes at a very young age already.

Which is great until they wonder why their friend gets to eat/drink it then all hell breaks lose. Lol
You are right though. My son has never had a soft drink.

I'll.maje sure to let her try all that, after I load a can of coke with alum powder and dust honey buns with it too.

"Those kids have something wrong with them sweetheart, don't worry you don't have to eat that sour crap anymore, woul you like some more broccoli?"

Yes due to unusual blood conformation even with good hemoglobin levels if you look at actual concentration within erythrocytes I always stay a tad lower on range.

Don't know about Amalfi but Rome is a bit decadent lately, the municipality is indebted up their throats and services are poor, streets are bugged like swiss cheese.

Literal lol

My kid was introduced to gummy snacks and juice drinks at school. Snack time was part of the special ed curriculum in K-3rd. When I asked for more nutritious snacks my son's sedentary, morbidly obese teacher responded the gummy snacks and juice drinks *were* nutritious as they were "made with real fruit juice." Yeah, like 2%

I lost that battle
I'm still p!ssed about it

Sorry for laughing. Sounds like something my mom would do!

Congratulations, pops! Is this your first child?

[BG]

Exactly!
And I did get 5 mins in on a treadmill last week, thank you

Did you turn it on?

[Capebuffalo]

Did you turn it on?

He blew in its ear and talked dirty to it.

[Charlie67]

He blew in its ear and talked dirty to it.

Crap, I've been doing it all wrong... I curse at mine.

[Capebuffalo]

Crap, I've been doing it all wrong... I curse at mine.

My wife told me the same thing.

[Couchlockd]

Congratulations, pops! Is this your first child?

First that's biologically mine.

Have a step daughter that's 8, been with her as dad since 3 years old

[guitarzan]

Did you turn it on?

Yes! Not only did I do 20 mins of cardio, but I did 3 sets of clean/overhead presses. Light weight but around 20 reps each set, that really got the hr going! All this was after a full leg workout!
