Nine male, endurance-trained cyclists performed an interval workout followed by
4 h of recovery, and a subsequent endurance trial to exhaustion at 70% VO2max,
on three separate days. Immediately following the fi rst exercise bout and 2 h of
recovery, subjects drank isovolumic amounts of chocolate milk, fl uid replacement
drink (FR), or carbohydrate replacement drink (CR), in a single-blind, randomized
design. Carbohydrate content was equivalent for chocolate milk and CR. Time to
exhaustion (TTE), average heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE),
and total work (WT) for the endurance exercise were compared between trials.
TTE and WT were signifi cantly greater for chocolate milk and FR trials compared
to CR trial. The results of this study suggest that chocolate milk is an effective
recovery aid between two exhausting exercise bouts.

Met you have got to try Raw milk. I don't know what the laws in Michigan are about it, but pasture raised certified organic RAW cows milk destroys Almond milk etc... it has all the enzymes and cultures still there. My sister in law staying with us is HIGHLY lactose intolerant and I had her on it and she never had issues, and in fact lost weight and hadn't been healthier in years. She even was able to eat icecream again, as long as she had raw milk before it!! Cave men had it right my friend.
And as far as fruits to add to your great list, dates!!!

more food bro. Looks like you did much better than usual but you need like 2 more meals in there. What are your shakes comprised of?
Click to expand...

Yea yesterday was pretty bad. My sleep schedule was all messed up which is why i didn't eat much.

Shakes:
16oz 2% Milk
2 scoops Kwik Karb
2 scoops Whey
1.5 oz Olive Oil

My usual eating schedule (provided I don't stay up until 3am playing SC2 or watching movies/tv) is usually this:

8:30/9am -> Shake (as describe above) ~1030 calories
Noonish -> 1 or 2 chicken breasts, steamed rice/veggies
Pre WO (3-4pm) -> salami sandwich, pb&j, or Shake
Post WO (7ish) -> Shake (after Postal)
Dinner (9ish) -> 1 or 2 chicken breasts, steamed rice/veggies

You have me intrigued. I literally just picked up some coconut milk but I will for sure take your advice and try raw milk next time. I have seen it in my organic grocery store so I know Michigan allows it. Thanks bro :cheers:

Do your shakes have fruit? Still don't see fruit in here. Also 3 shakes/day seems a bit much. Someone like you would most definitely benefit from more whole food in their diet.

Yea still no fruit. So with two shakes a day, if I have one post workout, when would the best time to take the other one be?

I'm a firm believer in having NO MORE than 2 shakes a day. Sometimes I don't even have 1. But IMO anytime is a good time for a shake. Just depends on what the profile is at its time.

If you are going to get some almond/coconut/raw milk, any of those would go great with your shakes. Get a blender and throw in literally any fruits man. Getting in caveman food is very easy.

Here is an example of my diet yesterday:
  • Meal 1 - Shake: 2 heaping scoops of Lipotropic protein, 3 raw organic eggs, 4 oz almond milk, water
  • Meal 2 - 1 chicken breast (keep in mind I am cutting), on spinich leaves, topped with sunflower seeds and raisens, yes, raisins bish :D
  • Meal 3 - same as meal 2
  • Meal 4 - Sauteed beef, asparagus, carrots, EVOO, banana
  • Meal 5 - homemade unsalted almonds/raisins mix. yes, i love raisens.
I have managed to recomp BIG TIME with this in only a matter of 2 weeks (when I started caveman). Everyone's metabolism is different. 5 meals is enough for me to grow. You prob would grow on 5 too. I'm sure you'd grow even more on 7 tho. :smite:

I'm not trying to be self righteous at all man. Just trying to help you benefit from the potential I know you have.

'preciate the help man. I need to get my diet in order. Got no one to blame but myself for that. I think it's better than it has been in the past, but its still not good enough yet. My thing is that I need to stick to a schedule or else I won't have the constitution to eat and eat and eat. Kinda the same with lifting -- if I don't stick to a routine about when I lift everyday, it's hard to motivate myself to go, 'specially if it's just me.

I'll be thinking and planning out how the best way to get in 7 meals, and I'll be looking to hit between 3.5k and 4k cals everyday on a modified caveman diet. (It'll be caveman for all whole meals, the only thing non caveman'll be the shakes.)

As for the shakes, since I'm running low on the protein that I have, I'm going to be making a switch, either to Lipotropic, or a product called "Up Your Mass", something that's been recommended to me by a good friend who knows what he's doing (kines major here at school, and also a bodybuilder and powerlifter who's competed many times at the national collegiate level). I'll also be looking how to modify the shakes a little more so that I eek out everything that I can in terms of benefits from them.

Bottom line: if I stick to a schedule, I'll be golden. As long as what's in the schedule is good, and I mean GOOD, then hopefully good things will start to happen. I'll finish out my last week on NataD, and then I'll be off supps until my diet gets in order. I'll still work with ASGT, AP, Postal, and Ghenny, but things like Drive or Prime or NataD won't fully benefit me until I have a solid diet.

I would shoot for smaller goals 7 meals is almost double what you eat now. Yes, ultimately, that is what you are shooting for but you will be stay motivated hitting smaller goals and working your way up. Star off with an extra meal tomorrow and do that for 2-3 days and then move up another meal the next and so on.

So today, I went and had some tests done through my work. They tested things like percent body fat, cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc. Thought I'd share the results here, because some are kinda shocking.

Weight: 152.0lbs

Resting Pulse: 86 bpm

Blood Pressure: 118/82

Blood Sugar Levels: 105 mg/dl

Total Cholesterol: 164 mg/dl

HDL (The good kind): 39 mg/dl

This is where it gets fun and interesting...

Percent Body Fat: 8.3%
*This was done by attaching sensor pads to the wrist and ankle, which connects to a machine. It's supposedly accurate to within 4% of the actual %BF.

Fat Weight: 12.6 lbs

Lean Body Weight: 139.4lbs

Basal Metabolic Rate: 1924 cal/day
WHAT?!?!?!?!??! I'm not so sure about that...

So basically this says that I need 2,000 calories a day just to MAINTAIN weight. SOOO...that means that if I up the cals to say, oh I don't know, 3,000 I should have been a fat lardo months ago.

some of that stuff... grain of salt man

Also, multiple tests for cholesterol levels have to be done in a fasted state. If you ate within 8-12 hours, the tests are notoriously wrong and typically in a bad way. I did this once, freaked my doc out, went in after 12 hours fasted, numbers were near perfect. As for BF%, I am sure you are not far off of that given your height and weight. As for metabolism and your daily intake, everyone's is different and you have to play with cals to figure out what amount adds lean mass without adding fat and also play with the macros. I can put weight on super easy if I up my carbs but fat comes too, I up the fats and cut carbs down, I still add LBM but no fat. It takes time to learn what works for you and logging is a great way to keep track FYI.

I miss milk, especially in protein shakes. I hardly get it anymore and have no clue where or IF I can get raw milk. At the minimum, I am sure it will aid in digestion and replace some bacteria in the colon. You got me thinking now AG, on the hunt to try some raw milk.

ok now I am getting impressed my friend!!! you are just blowing up and getting stronger right before my eyes!!!
 
Diet looks better for sure man. Don't forget to get some fruits bro.
 
been doing some research on the paleo diet, which is something that i've been dancing around for a little while, and since it has been suggested to eat more whole foods, i'm heavily considering moving to a more strict paleo diet.

so here's a good example (for my sake) of what to eat:
fruits
root veggies
fresh meat
fish and shellfish
eggs

coco milk/almond milk
olive oil
tuna (low sodium and low fat)
spices
bottled spring water
green tea
seeds
nuts (raw, but no cashews or peanuts)
nut butters
dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cherries, dates)
organic fruit and veggies
nut flours

source: Invalid Link Removed


there's a lot of sources out there but this one had a nice list so it'll be easy to refer back to in the later days.

This site recommends a "cleanse" while getting into the caveman diet: Invalid Link Removed and it has a list of good foods to eat:
  • Meat, Birds (chicken), and Fish
  • Eggs
  • Fruit
  • Vegetables, especially root veggies
  • Nuts (Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Macadamia, Almods)
  • Berries (straw, blue, rasp, etc)
  • Root Veggies (carrots, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, swedes, etc)

it'll be a big trip to the supermarket monday morning sometime to prepare my kitchen for this undertaking. At the very least, I'll be eating much healthier and I'll feel much better. If a side effect is that I gain some good muscle weight, then i'll be happy with that too
 
I am seriously going to rage. I literally just typed you out this really long, detailed reply and what happens? MY FUKKING INTERNET CRASHED, DELETING EVERYTHING!!!! WANT TO SMASH ALL THINGS NAO!!!

i like that idea. a lot. let's us spread recipes as well. Doesn't TK have a thread like that floating around somewhere?
 
Good thinking with TK's thread. We'll have to bring it back to life with our caveman endeavor.

I used lean beef stew meat. Takes a good 15 mins of slicing. I just bring my laptop into the kitchen and put on an episode of the Feld or The Office and cook away. Makes cooking way more enjoyable when you are living alone lol. I like my beef in small pieces. Just my preference. I also use sirloin when I don't have a chance to run to the organic food market. I ALWAYS sauté it up in frying pan. I make enough for 3 portion, sometimes 2 if I need a bigger portion. Total I add about 2.5-3 tbs EVOO, depending on what I want to add in later. Tonight, I knew I wanted sunflower seeds on top, which has 16g fat per 1 oz, so I only put it 2.5 tbs EVOO. I may start doing some videos for Scott's blog. I want to see a revolution of Paleolithic eaters. Maybe spreading the word through logs and youtube will help with the movement. :smite:

edit: oh and I always change my spices up. Tonight, I threw an ish load of garlic powder, basil, ginger spice, mustard powder, dash of salt, and a butt load of cayenne powder. Tastegoodman.
 
For fruits it depends when you plan to put then Ito your diet. There is a common misconception in regards to weight gain and such on fruit sugars.

The impact on blood sugar is less than with table sugar because the time in the blood stream is alot shorter. It passes through and it used fir energy rather quickly.

I usually eat a cup if pineapple on waking, 1/2 cup or strawberries and then make a smoothies/ protein shake 2 hours later. A great fruit I stand by is kiwi, filled with tons if antioxidants, fiber and epic goodness. The fruit that are larger, ie. Grapefruits, oranges, willl naturally have more fiber in them. Start out with about 2 servings a day and gradually go up to 5 per day. Same goes with veggies.

Ud be surprised how your health and body comp will change from this. I've recently started eating more beans due to a more complete food that contains fiber/ protein that outweighs cost/benefit of meat.

I still eat my meat (homo...yes)...just not as mich as I've found cheaper and better alternatives.

You said it man, let me add a few. Pumpkin seeds! High fiber, high protein, high in healthy fats. "They contain most of the B vitamins, along with C, D, E, and K. They also have the minerals calcium, potassium, and phosphorous." Oh yeah, and pumpkin seeds can help with prostate health, never too early to start. The Kroger near my work has 12oz containers of organic pumpkin seeds for 3 bucks.

That's almost as good a deal as my sunflower seeds. They are a good source of fiber, protein, healthy fat, potassium (1,300mg per cup, low sodium) vitamin E, vitamin B1, and magnesium.

To mix it up I've also found a shelled, roasted, and salter supply of pistachios. Now, before you get all up in arms about the salt, let me say that the potassium:sodium ratio in them is 3:1, VERY NICE! Also, pistachios are once again high in protein and fiber, low in sugar, and they're one of the foods that contains a significant amount of lutein and zeaxanthin. Other goodies that are present are b vitamins, copper, and manganese.

Oh yeah, and nuts travel well. They don't have to be refrigerated and you can pack a lot in to a small space.

I love my bird food! :lol:

Mix those with some carrots and spinach and you've got yourself a healthy, filling meal that also sits light on your stomach. You're nourished, energized and have had a minimal affect on your blood sugar. If you're a cry baby that feels that ~13-24g of protein isn't enough per meal then you can always add more protein sources like meats and beans.

So, these are the things that I will comment on.
Strength:
Definitely up. Was hittin 65's on DB Inc Bench for only 6's and 7's at the start, and now, 4 weeks later, I'm hittin 75's for 7's and 8's with higher weights and reps on the earlier sets.

Stamina:
I think that ASGT/AP contributed a lot to increase stamina, but I really never wanted to leave the gym because I was tired until today, the first W/O sans NataD, so I'd say if nothing else, NataD helped increase my perception of my stamina, which is equally important.

Fat Loss:
Sorry, but I really don't have much fat to lose...

Positive Aggression in the Gym:
Short answer: yes. The will to move weight was ever present this past month. This ties into stamina -- there were some days that I just didn't want to leave the gym...

Reduced Water Retention:
Can't say that I noticed this at all. I will say that I never remember feeling bloated or anything of the sort. The abs seem to have popped out a little more in the past month.

Other Comments:
LIBIDO: Again, through the roof.
DENSE FEELING: I noticed more and more than during workouts, my muscles felt much more dense than in the past -- they just felt solid.
DOMS: Didn't feel these at all. 20 rep squats didn't seem to give my back or legs any kind of DOMS feeling at all. I can safely say that from Thursday's WO, my back has a good "worked" feeling still.
WEIGHT GAIN: Due to my poor diet, I didn't make any weight gains. This is a function of my DIET and NOT Natadrol. Let me make that perfectly clear. I plan to run Natadrol again in the future, but only once I've solidified my diet, will I consider running Natadrol again.

Closing Remarks
I definitely enjoyed running Natadrol. I thoroughly believe that it helped make some of the large strength jumps in the workouts -- I believe that without it, those jumps would not have been as big. If you're looking to gain strength, denser muscles, higher libido, greater stamina, then I would definitely recommend Natadrol.

next up is 165 on the Caveman Diet, which I have been easing into a groove these past few days.

I've usually been munching all day on strawberries, pistachios, cashews, dates, and for big meals been eating carrots/broccoli/green peppers/strawberries with some kind of meat. Even when we've gone out to eat, I've found dishes like ribs or a 20oz steak and veggies. Tonight is the first meal in a while that I've had pizza or another cheat meal. Hopefully, signs of improvement will begin to show in the coming weeks.

EDIT: Found out this morning that I ate all but one measly slice of a medium (i think 16" maybe?) supreme pizza in that one sitting last night. Then for a midnight snack, I was back to the healthy stuff -- ate an apple and a banana.
 
Looking like a 150lb monster there orb.

Very similar to my results, I forgot to add the libido aspect to my review, mine was/is through the roof right now.
