Can't go wrong with a Vince Gironda protein shake :)

I was up to 4-5 cups a day last year, so I quite cold turkey as well. I went a few months without any, the first few weeks were the worst. After some time I added a cup to my diet. I didn't really quite for the calories as I mostly drink black coffee without any additives. But I felt like my daily intake was getting a bit…

Fresh produce is great. I usually grow bell peppers, ghost peppers, maruga scorpions, tomatoes, watermelon, eggplant and some herbs. This year though with the drought in CA I have had to scale back some. All of the peppers I grow are amazingly resilient and don't need much so that's all I'm growing this year.

Hey all, I know I don't post here often but I just had to make a little announcement; I earned my shodan in jujitsu on Friday night. It was pretty unexpected, and I almost feel unworthy as there is so much more for me to learn. But I am going to wear it proudly, and continue to learn and grow. This is only the beginning.

I love the new green shield!!

Do you like to swim??

Your gallbladder and pancreas produce enough enzymes/secretions and your stomach produces enough HCL for digestion. So you really don't need to take additional enzymes to digestive your food. Unless of course you have a condition/allergy and take enzymes or Betaine HCL to help with that. That being said, I know Vince…

I love beer...and rum, and cognac, and whiskey. In fact I'm hosting a rum tasting tomorrow night, my first one, should be interesting.

I'd say enjoy your vacation. You might gain a few lbs but it's not the end of the world. Also, your probably going to be pretty active snorkeling, hiking, etc and need the extra cals...

Be prepared for bouts of gas and bloating

I haven't weighed myself in months...

If you like to swim you can try a DryPro cast protector http://www.drycorp.com/

You can still work out your upper body a bit. But you're gonna have to take it easy and watch your calorie intake as well. Do you know what kind of cast they're gonna fit you with?

Ah ok, cool. Plant grafting is pretty awesome. When I was a kid my grandfather worked for the Department of Agriculture and used to do all sorts of things with the trees in our backyard. He successfully grafted a mandarin limb, a tangerine limb and a valencia orange limb onto a navel tree. Plus he grafted a lemon and a…

I buy mine at iherb. Link is below. I eat a serving 2-3 days a week. http://www.iherb.com/search?sug=kelp%20noodles&kw=kelp%20noo&rank=1#p=1

Kelp is supposedly really good for you. However in lieu of a supplement I eat kelp noodles a few days a week

Ah, ok

Was this in response to me?

How do you feel about plant grafting?

They say to never go shopping on an empty stomach... I usually avoid Costco myself though. Too crowded and too many rude people

I think your weekly calorie total is more important than your daily total. Like others have said just eat a bit less over the next few days and you will be fine

I eat eggs everyday, mostly hen eggs but also duck eggs (which are delicious cooked over-easy in grass-fed butter). I found this ranch near me that sells them, quail eggs too which I haven't tried yet, but I will :) And yes I eat the whole egg ;)

Carne asada with sweet peppers, serrano chiles and garlic. Eggplant sauteed in olive oil with pepper, salt and garlic. Top it all with guacamole and hot salsa.

I don't view it as a personal failing, it's really an education failing. And it's not just health and nutrition where education fails us. Our education system does not teach how to cook, how to do taxes, how to take out a loan, to invest, etc. Or at least it didn't where I grew up. A small percentage of states have…

Upcoming surgery, huh? I wish you a speedy recovery. Speaking of which, don't forget fitness, your recovery will be that much faster if you are in good shape. Do something that doesn't aggravate whatever you are having surgery on.

Mix eggs with heavy whipping cream, it delicious!!

I have several raw eggs every morning with some heavy whipping cream. Best shake ever!! Salmonella is not as big of an issue as everyone makes it out to be. Only about 1/20,000 eggs are infected, that means you have a 0.00005 chance of coming across an infected egg. On the other hand there are a lot more reported outbreaks…

I only put in about 50% (Sometimes less) of my actual exercise. Still need to get a HR monitor.

LMAO!!!

Yeah that's doubtful. Takes me an hour of boxing to hit just under 1,000 cals. And that's with mfp estimations, which I heard are a little high...
