I use the Vitacost brand. It has Magnesium oxide as the main ingredient. I'm guessing that's the lowest form but it works for me.
Oxide is the most common form. The one you'd probably get if you bought your local grocery store brand. I do not know how it compares for absorption, bioavailability, etc, but if it is working that is the main thing. Did a little looking on the net and found this. http://www.ehow.com/facts_5879767_bioavailability-malate-vs_-magnesium-chloride.html
I generally take take this supplement for magnesium. http://www.cvs.com/shop/product-detail/CVS-Magnesium-250-Mg-Tablets?skuId=246181 I also take a teaspoon of NoSalt each day for my potassium intake to avoid cramping and what not.
Exactly, it does depend on what one eats the rest of the day, however you never consider that when you rush to judge such trivial topics like a little lite mayo in a smoked fish dip, or take into account the subject when talking about whether the person should be Ingesting 6 egg yolks a day, cause I did. If you don't think one can eat some dry whole wheat bread while losing weight we should just end this discussion.. I teach a long term health change, not elimination of all things practical..when your at a Denny's after a nite of partying good luck asking for paleo bread made with almond flour, order some wheat toast, some poached eggs and a piece of naughty salty ham, and go crazy, you seem to take that personal, I call it having some balance, and I know I can still make gains...it's all about spacing meals and combining foods properly in succession. I never claimed to be as serious as you are professing, just throwin out a few healthy recipes that taste good, and that people can relate to, and making you forget the junk because of how good I can cook it, your taking a whole different approach, and that's cool, I can dig you, it's just not my style.
In your opinion the benefits of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and other nutrients is a theory? Well, in that case, it would not be productive for us to continue this discussion, since from what my research tells me the benefits of the various nutrients are very well known.
Once you reach a certain amount your body will just defecate it out. You're just eating empty calories. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
There would be nothing wrong with a man the size of Francis eating 6 whole eggs in a day, although not necessarily every day. Some variety is nice too. 6 whole eggs would be about 420 calories of a very balanced and nutrient dense food. When necessary, such as eating at most restaurants I am well aware that we'd have to cheat sometimes. If I ate at a Denny's, I'd order an omelet made from whole eggs, with some cheese, tomatoes, and onions inside, and a few pieces of bacon. Probably drink a glass of plain ice tea with some lemon squeezed in. That wouldn't be cheating a whole lot. I have little doubt you are probably a more creative cook than I am and more able to prepare delicious foods that appeal to most people. When it comes to a few foods, we apparently disagree. When you bring them up, I feel it is within my rights to offer my point of view too. I hope you don't take that personally.
There are usually alternatives for a keto or paleo lifestyle that most people wouldn't think about. For example, you can "fake" mashed potatoes and rice by using cauliflower.
You mean the foods we eat ends up turning to poop? Well duh. I do not see how your statement is pertinent to anything I said, but I guess you do. So whatever.
Only the waste becomes poop. I'm saying that if you eat 1000% of the recommended daily amount of a vitamin, you aren't 10x better off than if you ate 100%. Beyond a certain point, those extra nutrients aren't benefiting your body. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
The RDA of vitamin C for example is 60 mg. That is enough to prevent scurvy. RDAs are seldom all the body can use of a given nutrient. That said, I never advocated ingesting 1000% of the RDA of any vitamin. So I guess this would be a strawman argument?
You should know a man that size is gonna have to eat carbs or else he's gonna hurt somebody..I don't like to combine a carb with an animal fat, that's why I drop most of the yolks when I do. I haven't taken anything you said to me personally C. I have no problem with you telling folks to make sure their honey shouldn't be harvested over 15 miles from their home when Someone asks me about an alternative to a rich dessert, and I say if there were no carbs ingested at dinner, and your craving something sweet, go ahead and pour yourself a bowl of raisin bran with a lil honey on it.
Maybe if your goal is to just look good in the mirror or drop weight. But if you're a triathlete or a marathoner they are absolutely necessary. I think what people lose sight of in a lot of these cases is balance. Carbs aren't the devil, neither are fats...moderation and smart substitutions is the key.
No just picking a diet that works for you is key. Not many people are running marathons or triathlons either. I was just responding to DJ's case that a guy would go crazy without carbs. You could limit your carb intake to 25-50g net carbs per day and be very healthy. Unless of course those carbs are coming from sugar...
You're just mad because we ain't talking about weinerschnitzel, sauerkraut, or apple strudel. Or, hasenpfeffer! Damn, I just made myself hungry thinking about those foods.
I sometimes like a nice fried egg on my hamburgers. yummmmmburger. Egg salad is my favorite... just the eggs, hard boiled, mix in some mayo (yeah I do... suck it nutritionists)... some salt.. oh baby. That's good eats there. Not a big fan of scrambled eggs... unless I have to. Now, poached eggs... not easy to make, I've attempted them a few times, but they are yummy as well. I just love bursting hot yolk... love the goo.. ...
Hmm, for me it never made sense to discard the yolk as it contains the actual value of the egg. Whites are basically a sort of protein slime, basically tasteless. Other problem is, if one removes the fat one also removes the feeling of being "full", fat consumption releases chemicals in the body that say "yeah you've eaten". Granted that effect can be taken to far (think fast Goo meals). Hard Boiled eggs with mustard and cayenne pepper is a staple of my diet. Interesting that Cam Wake basically eats whole proteins (Tuna, Steaks etc) and salads, which sounds sensible to me for an athlete, but a bit cost prohibitive for "avg joe".
There are some healthy mayos too. Spectrum and Hain brands to name two, and they taste at least as good as the cheap unhealthy GMO crap. It's funny how we all have different tastes. I love scrambled eggs, or omelets, quiche, etc, but do not like any boiled eggs. I would rather drink eggs raw, Rocky style, than eat them boiled, which I do sometimes. The main thing to me is eat that yolk.
I boil them simply b/c it saves some cooking time and if I want a snack they are right there. I prefer omelets finished in the oven with peppers and onions, half for breakfast, then an egg sammy for dinner. Not really a meat guy, that is about as close to a meat staple as I come, next to kielbasa. Saurkraut w/carraway seeds and rye with fresh butter..yum. For a real Deej horror show, should post up the Youtube video of Golonka w/fried potatoes...
During the week, I boil them so I can eat them in the morning at work without a mess. However on the weekend, I'll scramble them or make an omelette.
Hope your happy living your life like that, y'all are strait tripping and i have no idea why, theres no account for other individuals and their differences, you've become dangerous to the reader..
Like I said before, please look into the work of Peter Attia. I'm not suggesting that a low carb lifestyle is for everyone, it isn't. I'm saying that it is a legitimate option. I can imagine thousands of years ago we weren't swinging by Costco for some whole wheat bread.
The earlier talk of Kefir peaked my interest. I think I will order some grains and give it a try. I may try this route below givin my love for all things coconut. [video=youtube;nvOJsEKQlS8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvOJsEKQlS8[/video]
They were cracking the grains with rocks to heat in the fire and then consume the wheat kernels. Man was a hunter gatherer, not just a carnivore, fruits, nuts, grains, whatever "we" could find that was edible. They also tended to die quite young, mid 30's was ancient.
Goodness no, it was a tough environment, but carbs did not cause their deaths or even contribute to them. That is one of the reasons why paleo type diets are based on a bit of a faulty premise, it is not that they did not eat carbs, they did not eat crappy, bleached carbs.
good lord, you remind me of this girl I used to work with. She sat in the half cubicle right next to me. She'd break out those hard boiled eggs about 10am every morning. I'm surprised I still like eggs after being traumatized by that for about a year.... then I helped fire her.
You sound real proud of yourself. I hope her eating eggs wasn't anything to do with it. If someone eating hard boiled eggs is traumatizing to you, I'd say you are too sensitive. I don't even like boiled eggs and I wouldn't be bothered by a co worker eating them. Back before they banned smoking in the workplace I had human chimneys on both sides of me many days. Now that is enough to really get under a person's skin. I used to hate it when the rights of smokers to give themselves lung cancer or heart disease was given more priority than the normal humans right to breath smoke free air. Back in those days, I'd never hold back when I had to fart. If anyone complained, I'd just say it was a normal human bodily function and well, just one of my habits, sort of like smoking was theirs. If they can smoke, I can fart. I tried to quit once. I quit for a year one time, but I gained a lot of weight.
The life expectancy at birth for the Upper Paleolithic era or late Stone Age, was 33. Though for those who survived to 15, the life expectancy was another 39 years, or age 54. For the Neolithic era, when advent of agriculture took place, and grains became more of a staple food, the life expectancy at birth was 20.
