Diet & Nutrition

Eat more of the right salt is a good idea. Eat too little salt associated with increased risk of death from heart disease. No evidence that low salt diets improve health.

What’s the right salt mate? Any basis at all for lack of salt causing heart disease?

What are good sources of calcium? I don’t eat much by way of dairy products. Milk in the breakfast and a drop with tea, a bit of butter when cooking occasionally, presume there’s calcium in coconaut water that i’ve recently started buying at £3.49 a litre…

We are told sweet potatoes are good for us and you are saying they’re not. There are studies that claim that just about everything is good/bad for you

Cheese and yogurts are full of calcium.

Brocolli mate, surprisingly enough

Excellent i’m grand so. :clap:

Avoid that table salt in big plastic containers - full of chemicals and stripped of minerals. Sea salt if you can get it.

Effectively too little salt is as bad for you as too much. Moderation.

Surely it is virtually impossible to eat too little salt. The body has very efficient systems to keep it at the right level.

Interesting podcast.

Cut gluten out of your diet and the benefits are huge.

There doesn’t seem to be a lot of evidence to support the argument that gluten has any negative impact on people without pre-existing conditions, i.e. wheat sensitivities or coeliac. From I’ve read at least it seems like it might benefit you but more than likely it won’t. That said, the gluten free diet is typically much healthier than the average diet so on those grounds alone there’s some good in it.

True by default going gluten free will lead to a leaner diet.

The real issue in my view is that there is a significant percentage of people who are sensitive and who will never know or will find out when its too late. There are a lot of people walking around feeling like shit with bloating, horrific hangovers, skin problems, focus issues, excess weight and not really knowing why.

It needs to be brought into the mainstream more to make people aware… The 20 year study of kids and their educational performance in Finland that he refers to is an eyeopener. Those who were diagnosed with a insensitivity/allergy went on to perform significantly better than their peers who went undiagnosed.

I guess that’s why they say everyone should try it for 30 days at some point in their life. It won’t do you any harm.

I ate the most of a large ciabatta roll last night after training.

I tried to order a few of those Quest protein bars that @Mark Renton[/USER] and [USER=2272]@TheUlteriorMotive have been banging on about but they were out of stock. The two fat cunts ate them all.

I’m going to try this no wheat thing for a month and see if it makes any difference regarding concentration or skin or whatever. I don’t really have any trouble with body fat. I think @Watch The Break is right in that cutting out gluten is going to lead to a naturally leaner diet anyway.

Dinner rocket, 2 sliced boiled eggs and rib eye steak.

No. Why?

Because I am ripped."

I’ve a gut, a hangover from my drinking days. But I stood on the scales today and came in at 93kg. I’m only 5 foot 7 and a half.

Are my marathon running days behind me?
