Please tell us all why you are punishing yourself with Ricoffy and Frisco...

I am ashamed to say (not really) that I prefer ricoffy or Nescafé to filter coffee. My wife laughs because when we’re at mates for dinner, I will always ask for instant coffee rather than the fancy stuff.

Having a rough week. Struggle to gather energy for training,been having some headaches and seems like I am not losing weight even though very active. I had a busy month to date and have done more training than probably ever before,so maybe my body needs a bit of a rest. Also limiting the cars which might explain the lack of energy and slight headaches. Did not run tonight but had a walk with the family. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Have you cut out sugar? I found in 2015 when I cut sugar out of my coffee, I started to get headaches.

If you've cut carbs, make sure you're getting enough salt. Without processed **** we need to supplement.

What Myles said. The term is 'brain fog'... used to get it quite badly. Felt like my vision was closing in. I now have a large container of salt on my desk and have about 1/4 teaspoon every 2 hours or so. Keep hydrated, and you'll be fine.

 

Then again, I have a tub of coconut oil on my desk too, and have 2-3 tablespoons a day. Tastes great (it's the luxurious tasty one) and I can skip all meals at work

Yes I don't have any added sugars. Only if I have fruit or a bit of game powder.

Thx for all the advise. Will make some changes tomorrow and see if there is any improvements.

Fruit is good, and there's a span of athletes who use game.

well, you'd think so. however, if you're insulin resistant, or T2 diabetic, then fruit is probably not doing you any favours. it'll cause BG spikes and resulting insulin spikes.

 

buuuut... if you're not insulin resistant or T2, then fruit IS good

Hogwash. 

 

Fruit is perfect for both preventing (as part of a larger whole food plant-based diet) T2 diabetes, as well as part of a diet for such diabetics. 

 

The trick is to eat whole fruits, especially those high in antioxidants, and to keep track of your carb intake from the fruit. Avoid fruit juices, especially rubbish like Minute Maid and the like.

sugar is sugar. doesn't matter where it comes from. I think it might be science.

go and ask your pancreas.

 

also, seeing as we're chatting sucrose, fructose etc, sucrose is metabolised by (pretty much) the entire body, Fructose... only the liver metabolises fructose. so in an 80kg person, 80kgs will metabolise sucrose, but only 1kg (i'm not an autopsy specialist), so in a 50/50 mix of sucrose/fructose, your liver is going to work pretty hard. which brings us on (quite neatly I think) to fatty liver disease... so if that's your thing, fruit will definitely help
