    Help me with my carbs

    As jaz says, there's no need to go from 1 extreme to another. There's a lot you can do to make it high calorie diet without going unhealthy. Lets say, instead of going for premium 5 star mince. You can go for 4 star with slightly more fat and calories. Pretty much the same protein content. You...

    Help me with my carbs

    That's an oxymoron right there. You don't have a say where your body fat will go. It doesn't matter what it is. Just because you eat fat, doesn't mean that it will go to fat. Your body will decide on where to put the extra calories. Like Semillon said, 1000 Cals is still 1000 Cals. Also like...

    Help me with my carbs

    How tall are you? 25% of body fat at your weight is pretty high? What are your lifts like? Squat/deadlift/etc? You can half the veg in the morning, it contains lots of fibre which will fill you up, but not many calories for obvious reason. Replace it with something calorie dense. What's the...

    Weber BBQ cooking

    You can't smoke meat, since it's too hot (it's bbq after all). But you can get a weber smokers. I don't know much about them, since I've never used one. What you can do with the bbq is add some wet wooden chips to the fire, put the lid on and add some smokey flavour to your meats.

    Weber BBQ cooking

    I used to have a webber, the big one. I can't keep one in my current place because of the wooden floor on the balcony deck (apartment). For best taste it's to use pure charcoal, I used to have 20kg bag of that stuff. Also you don't have to worry about all the crap they put in the brickets. It...

    Curry Lovers

    I don't mind giving this a spin. I love some indian curries like Aloo Gobi etc. Also I've most of the ingredients. So the question, but garlic paste is it crushed garlic? I love garlic so my plan is to overdose with garlic. I assume by ginger paste it's just grated ginger? As for cardamon, is...

    Weight gainer supplements

    Freshly picked berries are best, the fresh ones from supermarket are few days old and with every hour/day they lose nutrients (they are alive after all). Not to mention the time you store them in the fridge. Frozen berries are frozen straight after picking, the freezing will kill some nutrients...

    Computer Reformatting

    What you need to do is create the boot CDs. Once that is done, run a program that will overwrite the partition/volume 3 to 5 times with various combinations of 1s and 0s. That's needed to change the residual magnetic field on the hard drive. After something like that you would need some very...

    You have to move from this country. Which country do you move to?

    The best weather is in August, as in... minimum risk of a typhoon. No they are not touched up, the reason the water is so blue for so far out, is because Okinawa has one of the shallowest and longest shelves in the world. since you can see the bottom of the floor so far, the water looks very...

    Bench pressing

    Well, I've done DB incline bench yesterday and I had to use a fair bit lower weight than usual. Also today I'm feeling some serious DOMS in my upper pecs, not so much in my lower part. I will add this into my current routine.

    Nutrition for the brain and overall health - TED video

    Since I'm a person of this thread and I will say a person of science. That statement is just wrong. Infection are symptoms of bacterial infection. Antibiotics kill bacteria, they don't kill symptoms. More bacteria entering your body has nothing to do with the original infection. It is your...

    Nutrition for the brain and overall health - TED video

    I've realised that after my trip to Okinawa earlier this year and since that trip I've been changing my diet. Kale, bitter melon and Okinawa sweet potato became my staples. It was simply ridiculous how many healthy and full of energy 90-100 year old people there are going on about their lives...

    Nutrition for the brain and overall health - TED video

    I eat kale, my woolies has it. It's from broccoli family. I like to freeze it first before I use it, makes it less bitter and I'm sure it also kills a lot of the good stuff. I just fry some onions and garlic in olive oil. Add kale to it, fry it until it becomes dark green add egg and fry it for...

    Squats

    First of all, what is your weight? Also if you can't go up in weight, you could go from 80 to 82.5 and drop reps from 10 to either 8 or 6. Then build up your reps over the next few weeks back up to 10. Another thing, did you have someone check your form? If your form isn't right, it can be...

    Power Unlimited (powerlifting documentary) (the Pumping Iron docoof powerlifting)

    From my experience with a set of gloves on, me and my skinny mate who had a bit of boxing practice. I didn't even know what, when, and how my face was smashed up. I had Zero hand to eye coordination to see anything coming and blocking it was out of the question.
