But it's true

What's going to happen Tin Man won't get enough grease for his joints?

[Candy Arse]

I'll give you this much - you're consistent in that you're wrong about just about everything you speak about in this thread. There's nothing wrong with that because everyone has to learn and I'm always learning myself, but trying to pass off internet broscience as fact won't fly around people who actually study this stuff formally and work in the profession.

Is it actually possible to change your name?

I'll change it to Dr. BrAscience.

Fat intake should be incidental and haphazardly supplemented in small amounts.

Getting 'more' 'good fats' is not better than getting enough good fats (which is actually a very small amount).

Oh man, I just assumed this was a troll....

After you guys pimping of Vitargo, I grabbed a tub.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!
So far I've used it for:
10k run
A cardio bike session (I have a busted foot - so no running for a bit)
A Chest/Back workout.

I'm guesstimating that it provides up to a 5-10% increase in performance, based off the stats off the bike and reps.
I feel amazing during the workouts too - like I could just keep pushing. Also feel great afterwards.
Amazing stuff. I'm sold.

[Candy Arse]

Fuck yeah, once you use it there's no going back it's absolutely amazing. No carb supplement I've ever used comes close to it.

Non flavoured taste like fucken doo doo! Glad i blend all my stuff otherwise it just turns into clump's.

[Candy Arse]

Mix with protein and as per directions use warmer water first...no clumps at all.

I do mix with protein still taste like shit warm water aeh...

[itch]

I was being serious. I take it the consensus is that some 'good fats' are so 'good' that the more you eat the better your performance?

Sounds like bro science to me.

I'd recommend 300-500 calories (max) of fat per day. The incidental fat from a plant based diet is plenty. (this is for someone eating 3000 calories per day)

Occasionally, based on intuition, add a specific fat or oil in a small amount.


What not to do:

Bounce from protein shake to protein shake loading up on 'good fats' in between. This is a recipe for failure.

[Candy Arse]

I do mix with protein still taste like shit warm water aeh...

Yeah it turns the protein pretty sour, but who cares. You aren't having pre/post shakes for the taste...

Definitely warm water. Read the instructions on the tub and follow them, no gel clumps whatsoever.

Well i did do what it said but warm water didn't do shit. I just tried hot water and it turned out mint!

[itch]

I wonder how much research they had to do to invent a sugar that tastes bad?

[Cletus]

I'll change it to Dr. BrAscience.

If you want it done,PM a request. I'm sure Lestat or myself can indulge you if it's what you really want.

[Peppermint Lounge]

Have yet to try Vitargo. Being a vego I've always derived sufficient carbs from food vs those who adhere to more typical bodybuilding paleo diets. Or have I?

[Candy Arse]

This works differently vs carbs from food. Much much much faster glycogen replenishment so it has different applications vs wholefoods.

This stuff is about loading up for peak performance, sustaining peak performance and starting the recovery process post-performance as fast as possible.

I just demolished a bowl of veggies, salad, kangaroo and flaxseed. Plenty of carbs from the veggies and salad, but when it comes time to return to the gym tomorrow I ain't taking veggies in my pre or post shakes...

[cloud]

oh man ive been smashing kangaroo for the last year and you can't beat it! Add a touch of all purpose seasoning and it taste fucken awesome! Fuck all fat and chock full of protein you can't beat it.

[Candy Arse]

Number 1 red meat!

[Twiztid Elf]

+1 for Kangaroo. So lean, and tastes awesome.
I don't have it often enough.

[Madmya]

Does it come on a stick?

[Peppermint Lounge]

Madmya still happy being this thread's Rob Schneider.

[Madmya]

Yeah I can't take this shit seriously. Sorry! I'll stay out now.

[itch]

No please. Don't ever change.

I wanna change my name to Vegan Unicorn.

[itch]

Candy, could you please poke holes in this study 4 me?

[Candy Arse]

haha based on their conclusion I can see why you'd like me to do that.

This is pretty much the polar opposite of the "protein is worse than cancer" stuff from a few weeks back.

If you read their paper you can see they acknowledge the limitations of the study.

Potential limitations of our results are due to the fact that the survey was based on cross-sectional data. Therefore, no statements can be made whether the poorer health in vegetarians in our study is caused by their dietary habit or if they consume this form of diet due to their poorer health status. We cannot state whether a causal relationship exists, but describe ascertained associations

A lot of people take up a vegetarian lifestyle of some form due to the belief that they will increase health and potentially change their body composition....not realising that when you remove things from your diet you really should replace them.

A pure vegan approach can be absolutely beneficial to a person just as much as it can send them flying backwards. It's a case of knowing the limitations imposed by cutting out certain foods and food groups, and finding appropriate sources to replace them with that fit in with your lifestyle/beliefs.

All forms of vegetarians are just as capable of shoving shit into their mouths and sabotaging their health, performance and physiques as any meat-eater.

[Candy Arse]

I could do a study for 18 months on a group of Peppermint Lounges and conclude that the vegan approach is clearly the way to go.

Conversely I could grab a group of vegans who don't eat animal products but consume copious amounts of crap and tell you the lifestyle is working against them.

Poor food choices > everything else.
