Any martial arts or jiu jitsu folks?
Greetings! I'm back after a 10-month hiatus. Realized that MFP really helps me keep things in check. I'm back to tracking workouts fully again. Hope to connect with Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) or MMA or any like minded martial arts folks for motivation. Thanks! OSS

Late night post workout shake
I want to make a shake for several reasons but have a few roadblocks. - I do jiu jitsu in the evenings straight after work. It's really intense.

New-ish. Moved away from WW
Kickstarted the change in my eating habits in mid-Dec (due to health and age). Joined Weight Watchers (free through work) at the end of Dec. Did well, but felt like I still didn't have a full grasp of nutrition. Logged back into this old MFP account. Started parallel tracking on WW and MFP. Moved away from logging on WW…

Ancestral Diet... eating right for your origins
http://www.macleans.ca/society/health/eat-like-your-grandma-why-you-should-skip-the-kale-salad/ I have found this to be pretty true (in my case). I am a 1st Gen Asian born in America. All the "diet experts" kept touting about how "bad" white rice is, however I can probably for a fact trace back the consumption of rice back…
