(get used to it: i think best in list form)
(1) Dingo's lean body mass amount scares the crap out of me.
(2) We should be encouraging PC to have more beer and pasta, slow him down a bit.
(3) Day one of pure paleo went okay. disclosure, i eat "primal" most days, which means paleo plus dairy, i'm told.
(4) Dinner last night of stir-fried carrots and parsnips, pan-fried lake trout, heirloom tomato salad. then fresh strawberries. yum.
(5) First true paleo sacrifice: DD coffee this morning, W/O THE CREAM. what kind of swill have i been drinking all these years?? yuck! turns out, i just like the cream.
and a short list of questions:
(1) Anyone use fish oil? how much? Rob Wolff calculator tells me i should be doing 7 pills a day. the back of the bottle i bought at Trader Joe's tells me only 1! who's right - Wolff or the FDA? how come? anyone have any resources?
(2) This one courtesy of Collin and myself: does diet coke make you fat? anyone have any resources on this? and, if so, surely COKE ZERO doesn't make you fat. . . anything so purely delicious cannot be bad for you. just sayin.
this will be fun, i think. hoping to be able to increase some lean body mass here. let's see if it will work.
I split the difference b/w RW and my fish oil bottle recommendation. I'm told that if you take too much you could bleed excessively if you are, for example, impaled by a baseball bat.
ReplyDeleteI've too have read and heard too much Fish Oil isn't a great idea. I should be taking 6000IU but settle around 4 depending on the crappiness of my diet.
ReplyDeleteIt's an Omega 6 (bad) vs. an Omega 3 (good) fatty acid balance. If your intake of O6s is abundant (think anything fried in veg oil, or muscle shakes which just add Veg oil or canola oil), then take closer to Robb Wolff's reco.
Also, the purity of the Fish Oil tends to come into contention. Wolff and paleo folks like Carlon's liquid fish oil. Take it with food to avoid fish burps. I use Kirkland (Costco) brand. I've not noticed any difference.
I also take vit D, and a multi vitamin. Occasional Advil. didn't take it for 9 months and had a knarly shoulder injury. Gave in and took it and healed up. I take it sparingly
Like Beck, I also take the regular (not Enteric coated) Costco brand, 4 pills 3x a day.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading a while back that some folks had tested many of the major fish oil brands for purity, truth in advertised numbers, etc, and the Costco brand came out very well.
