General Discussion / Freeze Dried or Dehydrate?
« on: September 23, 2009, 09:18:44 pm »
I'd like to get some raw jerky. Can't find any out in the world...wondering if anyone knows of any freeze-dried or low-temp dehydrated meat jerky on the market?

If not, does anyone have any instructions for freeze-dried or low-temp jerking?

How about the pros & cons of each method

Thanx in advance!

Like GS, I'm also in my 40s. Not feeling much peer pressure (hahaha!). I make no secret of the fact that I eat raw foods (veggies, fruits, & meats), though it rarely comes up because I also feel little reason to advertise. That said, I'm trying to remember if it ever was an issue (I've eaten raw meat for 2 decades or more).

Do you eat only RED meats, or do you also eat fish?

Perhaps you could go out to eat at a sushi place (sashimi).

Perhaps you can go to a French restaurant (steak tartar) or a real Italian place (carpaccio).

Or just go anywhere and have the waiter, as GS said, bring you an EXTREMELY RARE steak. Always works for me.

He'll probably notice soon enough, but when people have a WORD they can place on it (sashimi, carpaccio, tartar, gravlox, gored gored/kitfo, lox, sushi, etc.) or a CULTURAL EXAMPLE (Rocky or real athletes downing shakes with raw eggs), they tend to see it simply as a unusual choice rather than something bizarre.

Also, do you eat meat ONLY or do you also eat salads and such?

I find the notion that there's no real difference between raw and heated honey as utterly ridiculous.

Agreed.

Further, I suspect that NONE of the studies on the effects of fructose on the liver have been done with anything but cooked foods & refined sugars. I'd be interested in seeing just ONE on raw honey.

Interesting.

I'm fine on plant foods and a little meat, but I've tried a few days on a lot of meat and only a bit of plant food, and it's not working as well (may be a bad choice of plant foods, though). After I read up a bit more, I'll do an "official" experiment of low or zero carb for about a week and see how that goes.

Now if there were on;y a cure for clumsy dentists. Way back when I was a kid, the dentist smoothed out a chipped tooth (against my wishes, as I thought t chipped tooth looked cool - hahaha!) and then decided, while he was at it, to take the liberty of filing down my rather large canines.

Now the canines are flat.

From my perspective it is harmful to eat ANY honey, warmed or not.  Honey is about 50% fructose and 35% glucose and 15% water.
To your body it is biochemically the same as refined white sugar and high fructose corn syrup. It may be paleolithic as bees were certainly around at the time, but that doesn't make it good food for humans. There is little difference between consuming honey and consuming soft drinks and candy bars as it will have exactly the same effect on your body.  The fructose in honey will do a number on your liver just as surely as the fructose in a soft drink, and the glucose will cause the same insulin response as a candy bar.

Lex,

I have a comment and a question.

1) While I don;t necessarily disagree with the gist of what you say, I think you clearly over-state your case when you liken honey with a soda or candy bars. The former, when procured from a natural source & un-heated/un-filtered, is as far removed from the processed & chemically-enhanced poison in soda & candy bars as high-quality raw (or cooked!) organic meats are from a Big Mac.

2) That said, I am extremely interested in what it is you have found that simple sugars do that is so damaging to the liver. I've read a bit about it, but every study is within the past 5 years or so and all are small samples. Further, none control properly for other lifestyle issues (the biggest one I saw had them eating 5000 calories of cooked food with tons of fried fats).

Can you expound?

Nice fight. Thanx for sharing.

I missed what the other guy did that caused a problem in the 3rd round. Did his kick reach your throat or was it something else?

I've been meaning to get a VHS to DVD converter (or simply a VHS to digital converter, really). Once I do, I'll up-load some fights from way back that I had. None of them sanctioned - it was still only quasi-legal then! I have a pretty good tape of a fight I lost in GA and a couple of "ronin" bouts I won. I figure it's all good because we didn't get hauled off to jail (hahaha!).

Well, I buy all my honey from locals who guarantee unheated, unprocessed, unfiltered, RAW honey.

If you don;t have a good local source, you might try a local Health Food Store and see if they carry raw honey.

DR - yes, I have a profile at GITMR. Not there often. Not many meat eaters and many of the vegans get a bit hostile about meat (hahaha!).

Thanx for the info regarding your workout & diet.

Got any of those fights on video?

Aaaarrgghh!!

Now i have to buy a new bag. My Everlast (product endorsement alert!) has made it for 20 years...but it finally gave up the ghost. The rings have finally started to pull away from the bag.

I wanted another light bag (35-40 pounds) but the lightest I can find is 70 pounds. I guess I'm off to the store later this week....

For now, shadow-boxing.

BTW: Dead Ramones? Best name since Dead Kennedys! You should use it for a punk rock band!

I'll have to read up on zero carb.

If so, I'll probably do a week on, then a week off...then 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. The I'll try a month.

Gotta see in small steps how my body reacts to zero carb since I've never done that.

Any recommended reading?

Kyle - I don't think Iron Mike did anything specific for legs (like weighted squats) simply because the "ring work" portion in boxing often includes hand drills, rope work, footwork drills, etc. The footwork drills, back when I was a kid, included "fighter squats" to ensure proper motion along with slipping. Not just your head moves when you slip punches - your body, via lateral movement, moves too, and the legs provide all the meaningful motion (up & down as well as front-back, side-to-side).

Keep us posted on your progress!

I looked up "batman workout" and got a bunch of stuff on Christian Bale when he was training for the Batman role. Lots of plyometrics and heavy resistance to put on the pounds - he had only 6 months after finishing "The Mechanic" (he starved down to 121 pounds [losing over 60 from his normal weight]) to be ready for "Batman" (he gained, in that 6 months, over 100 pounds of muscle...from 121 to 230 - THEN had to cut down to 190 because the director said he was too big!).

GoodSam - Me? I'm not training for any competitive event. I just like to train!

So I thought I was doing pretty good. Adding 300 push-ups & 500 sit-ups several days a week to my workouts, and getting some bag work back in. Been running stairs for a while, too (between 300 and 1000 per workout).

Then I stumbled on Mike Tyson's workout back when he was on top of the world:

3 mile run. Then rest & eat.

10 rounds sparring then 1 hour bag work.

Rest & eat.

500-600 push-ups, 500-600 dips, 1000-2000 sit-ups, 500 shrugs (w/ 65lbs/30kg).

More ring/bag work (speed bag, focus mits, footwork drills, etc)...60 minutes. 10 minutes neck work.

Rest & eat.

30-60 minutes exercise bike.

Ouch.

Exercise / Bodybuilding / Punching Bag
« on: September 03, 2009, 10:51:35 pm »
Today was the first punching bag workout I've had since before I injured my shoulder. Been 9 long months of rest & rehab, and it held up GREAT to the bag workout. Tomorrow morning wil be the real test (do I wake up with a sore shoulder or worse), but for now it seems to be doing fine.

Five 3 minute rounds was all I did, and on a small heavy bag (35 pounds) rather than my 70 pound bag (which I gave to a friend). One minute rest between rounds. Took about 20 minutes, the I did a few sets of abs & extra cardio.

Not surprisingly, I was pretty flat-footed after round one, despite all the cardio over the past few months (including running stairs - yesterdays stairs were 1100 [550 up & 550 down]).

I also did my first sparring session in a year last weekend. One short round of boxing. Light contact all padded up. Timing and distancing is WAY off, but that'll come back soon enough.

Feeling good. After workout snack was 6 large raw oysters!
