Wet Ears

Wish I had seen that thread - must have been amusing! The lawyer thread that is.

What an absolute waste of time and effort on the part of the authorities. Mountain (not biking) and molehill are two words that spring to mind. The naming and shaming was more than enough of a penalty and sanction in my view. They started something and now they have to finish it to save face.

The CrossFit I attend has arranged a talk by Prof Noakes on this exact topic!

Could not agree more - been doing it since I was a kid

?????? Akin to taking recreational drugs when making your first post?

According to the roylas we are doing something wrong! London - Prince William and Duchess Catherine celebrated the birth of their baby boy with a pizza. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were ecstatic after the birth of their son - now the third in line to the British throne - on Monday, but were also left hungry by the eleven-hour labour preceding his birth at 16:24 GMT. To alleviate their nibbles, royal close protection officers were seen delivering two pizzas to the rear entrance of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London at 20:45, around ten minutes before the official announcement of the royal birth was made. A carbohydrate packed pizza was an ideal snack to help the duchess - formerly Kate Middleton - replenish the energy reserves she will have spend giving birth. If she did not eat soon after the baby's arrival, she would have risked going into ketosis, a process where the body starts burning fat for energy, which can lead to nausea, vomiting and headaches.

If think Dave has hit the nail on the head i.e. if you can fit it into your carb limit. Issue is that when you are trying to stick to under 40g of carbs a day and an apple is close to a third of that I would prefer to box smart and get my carbs from a more "filling" source ito satiety. That said I love my fruit so will generally have 8 strawberries a day with double thick woolies ayeshire cream. As that fills me far more than an apple would and is around the same carb content

Correct - just collected 2 boxes from Flexia. I ordered Friday afternoon and collected from the PO yesterday!

What time do you go to bed in the evenings?

Hi Naas What would your recommendation be ito HD versus Trailstar or Pace star (which one for front and back) for the average back of the pack weekend warrior who does your run of the mill mtbiking and some tar commuting?

Safe to say that I will not be making my own kefir - way too sour!

@Marge - I would echo what the others are saying i.e. stick with it and the results will start to show. I am close to 2 months in and my intial results were confusing to say the least! In week 1 I lost over 3kgs, then over next 2 weeks I hit a plateau and even put on one or two kgs. I also recall that in week 2 my belt started getting tighter and I thought ok this thing does not work! I am now 7 kgs down and hopefully improving. The weight loss (according to the scale) does not do justice to the cms lost around the waist. So as Htone says - you may be losing weight but putting on muscle - which I hope is the case with me doing CrossFit.

Good to have the "old" thread back, was worried that we had lost it there for a whilst!

Unless the cyclist's fingerprint matches that taken by the cops - then life is simple

Just ordered some kefir (goats milk) from Organic Emporium - will give it a taste and if it goes down well would be keen to try and make a batch of my own!

As opposed to the rivetting cycling conversations that abound?

I had some poor guy and his family outside my gate the other day. He saw an ad on tandvleisboom (Gumtree as casper puts it) for a bakkie at a great price. He phones and seller tells him loads of people are interested but if he pays x amount he will give him first dibs. Guy pays and seller gives him my address to come and view the car. Poor oke stood out there like he wanted me to come up with a solution. I got the cell no of the seller and called and gave him a piece of my mind but doubt that registered at all. My issue is - the money has to go into a bank account and the cell no is registered with a cellular provider. This means they should be able to track down the account holders and if not what is the farkin point of FICA and RICA?

Thanks, Monday, getting my BG and ketones confused!

Just insured a second hand Rocky Mountain, replacement value is 30k and I am paying R130pm which I have been advised is comprehensive ie theft from house, bike rack etc and/or damaged during a race/casual ride. Sent my broker proof of my payment together with copy of proof of purchase provided by original owner. Think it depends on your insurer though.

How much are the sticks htone? Do you have any contact details for SA as I have been told (by at least 5 pharmacies) that ketostix have been discontinued.

I'm reasonably sure that the CPA now stipulates that a warranty follows the product NOT the owner. Applies to cars etc so not sure why bike manufacturers think they are exempt.

And we have competition on the Hub! https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/128059-cholesterol-statins-and-all-that-nonsense/

On that note, I did some reading on Mark's Daily Apple today for the first time. So everyone knows that he states that you need to eat like Grok did (our ancestor) yet he, Sisson, (by his own admission) makes most of his tin from selling supplements, including a a Primal Fuel Shake. Must have come in handy for Grok having those pre-made shakes!

Thanks for the info thatsme! Is cocunut and almond flour easy to get your hands on? Assume you just need to go to a "health" store?

I am trying to figure out the exact amount of omega 3 supps that I need to take, if any. I know a lot of it depends on what you are eating on a daily basis though? Is there a rough guide one can work with?
