Then as soon as I'm done exercise I drink a plant based protein powder mixed with 12 oz of water. About an hour after protein powder drink I eat a mix of carbs and protein. I try to get my…

That there's a nirvana in running a mile straight up a mountain, testing your mettle for the pure sake of it. Non runners call it crazy.

Shift perspective on food from that of food as a pleasurable activity, to understanding food as nutrition. It's a change mentally, but also a lifestyle change. Diets never work because they are nothing more than a means to an end.

Sugar--I think it's a generational and cultural preference. Coming of age in the 70's and in the San Francisco Bay Area, mine was a generation that vehemently rejected preservatives and artificial additives in our foods.

In college biology, anatomy, and medical terminology they teach that "detoxing" is a bunch of BS. The intestines, liver, kidneys aren't clogged with toxins. If they were, you'd be dead. All detox products do is separate you from your money.

If your goal is reducing cholesterol, consider asking your doctor about Niacin (vitamin B3). I have high cholesterol genetically; it gets above 300. I had adverse reaction to statins so won't use them. Even when I exercise 6 days a week and watch my diet, my cholesterol is still over 200. So I take niacin.

Trail runner here...My pet peeves are: 1. Inconsiderate mountain bikers who don't care about the safety of others on multi-use trails (one hit me and knocked me into the bushes; then started to ride off without checking to see how badly I was injured) 2. People who step to the left when you holler out, "runner on your…

3dogsrunning is correct about gels not agreeing with some people. They make me sick--stomach ache and nausea. A friend of mine gave a gel to her father before a a run; about a mile into the run he was so sick she thought she was going to have to take him to the emergency room. I absolutely cannot use gels.
