    Coffee: Good or Bad?

    in Health & Nutrition Programs

    Posted

     

    You are right: Maybe I overshot a little bit. Sorry Last of the Sane if my diction was not as nice as it should have been.

    It is very important to me that we can have different opinions and still be friends!

     

    I was not offended. I love a good discussion with sincere people, in fact, I do that for a living.

     

    Your definition of "highly processed" differs from mine. I do not consider roasted or heated food highly processed.

     

    I do not consider myself addicted to coffee, I never crave it. When I went raw for 30 days some weeks ago, I did miss the taste but I didn't have a physical craving nor did I think about it a lot.

     

    Moderation, moderation!

    Coffee: Good or Bad?

    I disagree that coffee is a highly processed drink, it's just grinded coffeebeans with water. What harmful substances do you speak of? Caffeïne is not bad for a healthy person.

     

    I agree that it is addictive, but caffeïnewithdrawal takes only 48 hours with no harmful sideeffects. There's no evidence suggesting that coffee is bad for you in the long run. But like I said before, moderation is the key.

     

    But hey, lucky for us we can make our own choices. I you feel better not drinking coffee, I won't tell you you should.

    Calories and protein question

    in Bodybuilding/Strength Training

    Posted

    I'm not an expert, but this is what I've been told, It works for me.

    1. Not if you're training right and eating right. Adding muscle needs calories.

    2. 500, but you will probably add some fat too, depending on how healthy your diet is. If you're just starting training it may be possible to add muscle mass without adding fat, but as you progress this gets harder. (But since you are looking to increase your bf% you don't need to worry about this )

    3. There's much debate over this. I go for about 1,5 gram per kilo of fatfree mass. (My fatfree mass is about 65kg so I eat about 100gram worth of protein) Some guys I'm training with use as much as 4g/kg.

    4. Nuts! Nuts contain lots of protein, but I'm don't eat them so I don't know which ones are best. I use a vegan protein powder because I'm allergic to nuts.

     

    Hope that helps a little.. Good luck!

    Question about drugs...

    in Health & Nutrition Programs

    To me a drug is something that substantially alters your mindstate or performance. Not quite sure where that fits in your two options.

     

    I can see your point though. I think it's a personal thing, sugar maybe a drug to some, other might not view it this. The government does not play a role in my decisions concerning drugs. From the sXe pov, drugs are anything that fogs your mind, be it by actively altering your mind or by making you want it bad. Over here sXe'ers don't use caffeïne, most of them don't even drink tea.

     

    I agree with your sentiment that needing things that are bad for you makes you less free, but for me it's not really about health. Sure, sugar is bad for you but a little won't hurt significantly. It's when your abusing substances to the level that it gets in the way of things you really want/have to do. In my humble opinion.

    I don't think you guys should be pissed off at a movie that was made 27 years ago, as you can't change what happened back then, no matter what you try or say. I mean, we were all meat eaters at some point, but that doesn't mean we have to be judged for, say, the rest of our lives for our deeds. The most important thing for me is to know for sure that he [the filmmaker] has learned from his former blunders.

     

    I agree. Everyone can learn from his/her mistakes. It doesn't change the fact that the movie is ing though.
