Diet & Nutrition

[rocket_scientist]

This is a subject I know fuck all about but I've got a mate who does. He's the fittest man in Scotland, and just turned 31.

 

He was saying on Friday that I need to ingest Omega 3 and tons of it, like the Strawberry flavoured oil rather than capsules.

 

Vit D and other stuff was on his list but Omega 3, he insists on.

 

Any of you use dietary supplements?

 

I can't argue with his logic, his knowledge (Kinesiology graduate), his references nor his condition. Just never done shit like this before.

I believe all the nutrients you need for a happy life can be found in beer.

This!

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

Don't use any supplements but was seriously considering it til I found out I had a wheat allergy and avoiding same and having as balanced a diet as I can seems to be working out fine.

[Superstar Tradesman]

I down handfuls of Omega 3 capsules every day along with a fair amount of nuts, fish and avocados every week to help keep me topped up.  Can't get enough of it.

 

I'd be interested in hearing more about strawberry flavoured oil though.  Never heard of it. 

[Superstar Tradesman]

 

What now?

[Tyrant]

I think he means it literally. Does that stuff not give ye the runs if you use it excessively?

[Superstar Tradesman]

Nope.

 

Certainly never affected me that way.

 

Reading the bottle just now and it does say 'one capsule daily, do not exceed stated dose' which I'm quite surprised to read actually.

 

I usually have 3 with breakfast, 3 for lunch and 3 for supper.  Unless I'm having fish whereby I'll skip it for the real thing.

Vitamin A is toxic in high doses so if it's cod liver oil supplements you're taking then best be careful.

 

Personally, I don't bother.

Your body will most likely excrete any excess vitamins etc anyway. A balanced diet wi plenty fruit and veg and no too much meat should be the aim.

I take a Berocca most mornings now to get rid of the hangover and a spoonful of manuka honey to stop me getting AIDS.

ST, the do not exceed one capsule daily is bollocks. I've been recommended to take up to half a dozen at a time and I have. Didn't do me any harm. You fucking cunt. Fucks my equilibirum and accentuates my character disorder and schizoid personality my fucking arse.

I left more than half my Tournedos Rossini last night in a swish Madchester restaurant. Nothing to do with my Oysters starters (2nd time this year having gone more than 20 years not having them) and nowt to do wi the fact I was getting very pisched quick. Meat and me are getting divorced, or more properly, less acquainted in our old age. That's the second time in 3 or 4 months I've failed to finish steak and I never did this ever before. Just never going to order it again.

 

Was tempted by calves liver on the menu but the Sicilian waiter put me off when he described is as "chewy, like Octopus".

 

Fucking young poof. It was probably perfect for what I needed.

Tournedos Rossini is one of my favourites. Superb when done well.

My protein is a cracking site, good deals on their.  I take fish oil caps as well as multi vits and BCAA, the first two I've been taking for the last 3 years.

Is that to go with the chips?

Do you take your BCAA's all the time or just when you're training?

[minijc]

Just when training, now and then though, I'm in a weird frame of mind right now, avoiding weights and pounding out the cardio, done a 3.5mile run on saturday, sparring yesterday and just back from a good session this morning, depends how I'm feeling I'll pop the BCAA, thursday night when i done a weights session I had about 5 of them.
