BigDL Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 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. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Fruity 1
Pieter1 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 After drinking this stuff plain chicory will probably taste good. Works well for colds and flu thi. Fruity and BigDL 2
Fruity Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Did a 50 minute Tae Bo session last night. It felt like I burnt more than 330 calories. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk BigDL 1
Beesrib Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 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.

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 BigDL 1

Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk 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
Odinson Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 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.
