  • monstersupplements sell them and they are great and free delivery!
  • Hey, I am intolerant to wheat, grains and legumes and that is why I eat Paleo/Primal inspired diet. My diary is open! =)
  • Even though Ben probably have left this forum (=)) I must say I agree with him. There are so many different opinions out there and the only right thing to do is to listen to how your body respond to the sugar. I am unfortunately extremely insulin sensitive and my carbs and sugar only comes from vegetables and occasional…
  • When eating primal your energy levels should stay the same pretty much throughout the day as your body will use stored body fat as energy. I used to eat every 3h and always make sure I got the right pre and post work out snack however since going primal this is no longer needed as I always have the energy that I need for…
  • IF works really well for me, I fast for 16-18h 4-5 days per week by skipping breakfast. Perhaps this is more "meal skipping" rather than fasting but still works for me. I also do a 24h fast few times per month. It is a great way to lean out as your body will use stored fat for energy when eating primal (this did not work…
  • Egg Muffins!!! =) Cottage cheese with berries Quark with berries Nuts Rice cake with turkey ham
  • Same here although I have not dared to have a cheat meal/treat since going 100% primal 2 months ago. Before that one treat meal or a weekend off made me gain weight, some was water but some went right on my hip and stayed there!!! =o
  • Me too! And it have helped with my stomach problems as well (digestion, bloating, cramps and uncomfort). If you do get som let me know how you get on =)
  • I suffer from bad muscle pain too, so much it hinders me from doing the exercise I was planning on doing. I have been taking l-glutamine for some time and it really works for me. It helps repair the muscles after hard training and prevents muscle soreness. It is fairly cheap and doesn't have to be from a "good brand" as…
  • LOL the fruit was is on! I was just saying what works for me, too much carbs in evening slows down my weight loss (incl high GI fruits) BUT everyone is different!
  • I try not to eat fruits after 2pm as they are so high in sugar as you say. Pineapple is a high HI fruit and if you are trying to lose weight I would only eat this type of fruit 1-2 times per week. Low GI fruits such as berries, cherries, apples and pears might benefit you more. I would not worry too much about getting over…
  • Our bodies are very clever and very quickly gets used to the type of food we eat and typ of excercise we do. Therefore it is important to constantly change your work out routine otherwise your body will just stay the same. Chock your body and muscles with a work out you have never done, for example do sprints instead of…
  • If you do cardio in the morning (power walk) this can be done on empty stomach but if you are planning on doing weights I would eat 3 egg whites or a protein shake before training. This will prevent your muscles from breaking down, after training I would eat good carbs and protein like porridge, cottage cheese topped with…
  • Porridge oats are really good for you but I mix with porridge some days and youghurt with home made muesli on some days. It's better to make your own as shop bought muesli has sugar in it. My muesli is made from dry roasted buchwheat, seeds, coconut flakes, goji berries, raisins, chopped dates, hazelnuts and walnuts. I…
  • I'm the same, eat only chicken and ground turkey on occasion, no red meat or fish but I do like all veg there is. If you only like broccoli (which is my favourite veg!) eat it with both your lunch and dinner. To not get bored change the way you prepare your broccoli, boil, steam, oven bake, stir fry in soy sauce, chili,…
  • I always keep snacks with me but I strongly beleive in "real" food and would not make it a habit of eating bars or protein bars. My snacks normally contains of protein (quark, cottage cheese, fromage frais) which I top with small ammount of almonds with raisins, apple with cinnamon, homemade muesli, frozen berries, cashew…
  • I don't believe in meal replacement just makes me more hungry but I guess there have been days where time was running out and they came handy. Protein supplements can be beneficial if you do a lot of cardio and weight training and find it hard to get the protein you need to build lean muscles from your regular diet, but it…
  • No food will get your muscles pumped up, that is a whole science. Stick with high protein, good carbs and dark green veg diet together with weight training 4 times a week and cardio 3 times a week. A good portion of porridge before weight training normally keeps my muscles strong, rice cake and fast action protein post…
  • Breakfast: 40g porridge made with almond milk and water topped with 1/2 banana, goji berries, raw cacao nibs. Or protein smoothie made of 100g quark, 1cup frozen berries, 1 scoop protein, 100ml almond milk and water. = ca 250kcal Snack: 100g cottage cheese topped with berries = 80kcal Lunch: 130g chicken with 80g buckwheat…
