  1. In January I am selling my business and taking some time away from work. I would like to take some time to relax and weight train. I'm looking for a city that offers: Cheap accommodation Cheap food Modern gym Will allow me to stay for 1 year Ideally I would like to keep my total monthly budget below $1500CDN. I thought about going to Thailand but with the new visa restrictions I'm not sure I could stay as long as I would like. Any suggestions?
  2. Thanks for all the insight. I've modified my diet and added a couple supplements and so far I'm feeling a litter better. First thing I did was start taking smaller amounts of VEGA. I thought the stuff was super healthy so I was taking the full dose twice a day. That was causing all sorts of problems with my stomach so I've cut way back on how much I take. I eat a couple of these flax cookies a day along with the cereal. Don't know if they are giving me enough EFA's or not. I also started taking 5-HTP along with a VitaminB supplement. I have had issues with depression in the past but have never actively sought treatment. I've taken SJW before and have had a positive response. I'm going to ask my nutritionist to up my caloric intake and increase the amount of protein, we'll see what happens.
  3. Thanks for the replies everyone, I've felt this way for a long time (10 years) but I always thought it was because of my lifestyle. I used to work a very physically/mentally stressful job where it was common for me to not eat anything all day. I don't cook so I was eating out all the time and getting 4-5 hours sleep. I went and saw Vesanto Melina and she put together a nutrition plan for me. I don't think I eat a lot of faux meat. According to my calorie tracker I'm eating around 3000 calories a day, although I'm not gaining much weight right now. I'm not taking any supplements right now, not even creatine. There is a salad bar right by my gym so I eat a huge portion of veggies everytime I work out. I don't eat any junk food, no soda or alcohol. "Adrenal Fatigue? Tired for no reason? Having trouble getting up in the morning? Need coffee, colas, salty or sweet snacks to keep going? Feeling run down and stressed?" Thats how I feel. "Adrenal Fatigue is a health disorder that can affect anyone who experiences persistent or severe emotional or physical stress." This would be an accurate description of the last 10 years of my life. I knew my work was not good for my health but I always thought if I quit work I could recover from it. I haven't actively worked in almost a year and I still don't feel 100%. Maybe I should go back to work.
  4. In the last few months I've made a real effort to live a healthier lifestyle. I've started working out, getting more sleep and I've hired a vegan nutritionist to prepare all my meals. So far everything is going great and I'm putting on muscle. However I feel tired and light headed ALL the time. I've tried cutting back on the number of days I work out and sleeping more but it doesn't seem to help. I went and took a blood test by a naturopathic doctor and she said everything looked normal. Does anyone have any thoughts on what is wrong and what I can do about it? I'm in my early 30's and honestly I feel like I'm in my 80's.
  5. I stopped watching UFC after Royce Gracie left and they put in the 3 round rule. It was way better when it first started when there were less rules. Man just seeing Royce stare at his opponent across the octagon scared the crap out of me.

  10. Like the title says, what are some good vegan pre/post work out foods to maximize gains?
  11. I have 681 80's songs on my iPod, does that make me weird? My 2 favorites movies are Braveheart and Apollo 13.
