Personally I love it. I don't necessarily feel any different with or without it however it does contain some really great nutrients. Being that it is a fermented food it is one of the few sources of vitamin K2. Go ahead and good vitamin K2 and you will find some great benefits. I feel like it does help with digestion as as…

I've just found having a piece or two (okay more like three) of dark chocolate (70-80% cacao) usually hits the spot for me. A lot of the black bean brownie and "clean brownie" recipes are full of sugar or taste like crap.

I'm doing a lean bulk/recomp at the moment and doing some calorie cycling On Days: 2800 Calories Fat: 70 g Protein: 160 g Carbs: 320 g Off Days: 2300 Calories Fat: 70 g Protein: 160 g Carbs: 200 g These are ballparks and can flutuate obviously. I'm not super strict and I'm pretty lean at the moment.

As an athlete you definitely do need a certain amount of protein up to a certain point to ensure adequate repair and recovery. However, to make your muscles grow you must also apply the appropriate stimulus to the muscle. Simply consuming protein doesn't magically build muscle. Also, as a triathlete, you shouldn't expect…

Personally, I've followed "clean" eating diet plans before and tried to cut out all foods deemed "bad" or unhealthy and it ultimately lead to excessive food cravings and developing a bad relationship with food. Personally, I would recommend focusing the majority (80%) of your diet around whole foods such as lean meats,…

Sweet potatoes and some sort of meat. I'll throw in a Quest bar every now and then.

I've tried it and didn't notice any beneficial results. I have heard of others using it and having it help make them feel more full and satisfied since it is basically fiber and takes up room in the digestive tract. What are you wanting to use it for?

Hey @Jimmy2183, First off be thankful for the fast metabolism haha Secondly, you shouldn't worry so much about only eating "healthy" foods. You need to find the foods that work for you and allow you to meet your goals. If it works better for you to have some foods that are often described as being less healthy that is just…

@debtay123 It really wasn't something that I cared a whole lot about until seeing the problems that poor flexibility leads to over time. Many patients I have seen with low back, hip, and knee pain often have significant limitations in flexibility. The best part is that, with a little education and consistency, it's easy to…

I definitely respect Kelly's experience in working with many high level athletes and taking a pragmatic approach to treatment. Obviously, different treatments will work for different people. Personall, I have tried many of the techniques and they many sense from a biomechanical point of view and have provided good results…

Kelly has some great stuff I definitely agree with and use some of the concepts but not all of them. I'll have to check out that link on the book review.

I've had the same problem at times. Have you don't any light foam rolling or tissue massage to help speed up the process and relieve pain?

I'll have to check that out. Have you heard of Yoga Tune-up by Jill Michaels I believe? I just heard her on a podcast and it sounds really interesting. I'm looking into starting that myself to see what it's all about.

It depends on what works best for you. I personally feel the treadmill works better and always feel like I've gotten a better workout when I run or walk on the treadmill. However, the elliptical can be great if you can't tolerate the pounding of running on the treadmill or on the days that you are feeling a little achy.…

Hey Guys, Always looking for more friends to engage with some good discussion and help each other reach our goals!

It's easy to get caught up with life and have your health take a back seat. We have all been there at some point in our lives but the best thing to do is to start today. Good luck and I would be happy to provide any support that I can!

It doesn't have to be difficult! Making slight adjustments to your daily intake and adding in a little more activity is a great place to start. I would suggest starting with some light walking and ease into things. Making too many adjustments or drastic changes all at once will make sticking to the plan far more difficult.…
