I am still trying to process everything that was discussed on this episode. There is all kinds of good stuff in here about how your diet effects pain, how training in heat can help you deal with injury, and how your doctor might not really be the guy to go to for depression. Please enjoy and let’s process this together in the comments.

The following notes were done by the POWPERFUL u/JoshuaKevinPerry on reddit. If you found them useful tip him a couple bucks https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=26LWYHVA6V5QS

How Junk Food Works

May 31, 2015 kungfuwithwashu 1 Comment

Junk food is literally that, empty calories of energy that provide little nutritional value and usually are stored as fat. Yet junk food is irresistible and for good reason – companies spend tens of millions engineering it to be that way. It’s almost evil. Click below to get super educated on this matter. Thanks Josh and Chuck for letting us all know what’s up! All of the links for what is discussed in this episode are below the download link.

Some other strange supplements

February 28, 2015 kungfuwithwashu Leave a comment

In my last post we talked food, protein, and supplements. Due to my finances, I really can’t afford to buy fresh veggies. Well ok that’s not totally true, I can’t afford to buy fresh veggies knowing that they may go bad before I can eat them. So my partner and I put some resources into powdered food. We had been using powdered milk for a long time, it doesn’t go bad and makes decent tasting milk. Note I said decent not Fantastic. She doesn’t really drink it a lot and I have trouble digesting it so powdered was the way to go for us.

With this prior success we decided to buy a lot of different powdered foods. We have kale, spinach, butter, yogurt, 2 different cheeses, peanut butter, banana, lemon powder, brown gravy, eggs and even whipped cream. many of these have been used in recovery shakes that my partner has concocted. ok before anyone pukes on their screen the cheese, butter, gravy, and eggs are not going to show up. I’m still hoping one of them will have whipped cream on top 🙂

To make these more filling we did go and buy some frozen fruit for a little bio mass. here are some example recipes, we have used. Remember these are all still in Beta so you may not like some of them because I know I sure didn’t 🙂

Here are two examples that are 2 servings each

Shake 1:

2 scoops of whey protein

3/4 cup rice milk

1 tbs banana powder

11 g sugar

1 cup mixed berries

8 oz water

then blend

Shake 2:

1 tsp spinach powder

1 tsp lemon powder

2 tsp yogurt powder

1/2 cup rice milk

1.5 cups mixed berries

2 tsp sugar

8 oz of water

then blend

Exercise is all well and good but did you change your diet?

This is how my diet typically looked

So now we can see why I had a weight issue. The goal is what is set as default in MyFitnessPal (totally recommend downloading that). So I am assuming that is a normal diet. We can see that I was not really doing so well.

The week of my 30th birthday I decided that I couldn’t treat my self like that anymore and we can see here what changed.

I bought T25 at the end of that week and had to wait on shipping. Here is now things are looking are now.

Not too shabby. I did run into some issues however. You noticed above that my protein was way too low. Once I started paying more attention I realized I still wasn’t getting enough protein. So I did some research into protein powders.

I know this is a hotly contested issue on the internet and I am not calling myself an expert by any means, if anything I am a lab rat on this subject. I did however look at some research from the Mayo Clinic which basically said, and I’m paraphrasing here “Protein is Protein”. They did say that egg protein was the most complete but that protein is protein. This being said you can get this from food, and that is probably the best way to do so. But I am not in a financial situation right now that is going to allow for quality meat purchases right now.

So my choice was Whey Protein. Most people out there are now thinking “Whey Protein, do you even lift brah?!?” and the answer is… no. I understand why people would be concerned. Most people use Whey Protein to add more protein than normal so they can get swole. I needed it because I had a protein deficiency.

We’ll talk more about my diet in the next post…
