It also may depend on what you do on computer.

I sometimes play 10 tables of poker simultaneusly or 4v4 strategy game online and this fucks up my day/night patterns.

How much computer do you use a day Max?

Oversleeping has always been a huge problem for regardless a diet, but what helps me most is limiting computer use and restraining from it after 6 pm.

Off Topic / Re: 17 Lost Egyptian Pyramids Found From Space

It is something shady about this egyptian pyramids.. I think that our knowledge about what they really were is 1% now... Maybe this discovery will flesh a new light on this.

For studies of cooked food you can take a look at:
http://www.amazon.com/Live-Food-Factor-Comprehensive-Ultimate/dp/0977679519/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306436086&sr=8-1

It is a raw vegan book but it provides a lot of cooked/raw studies references.

Optimal diet is  eating mainly fried meat and dairy.

Out of the wild by Discovery Channel. Not that much raw food eating but still great entertaining show that teaches we all need to respect the nature.
And I find Mellisa participant very sexy. She is super sweet and I am surprised none of male members of this tribe expressed any sexual activity. But maybe you first must have your stomach full before you start thinking of other basic needs? (Maslov's hierarchy of needs in action).

What diet Craig Bates was on and what kind of sick he became? Anything serious?

109
OK. This is inspiring. I will keep you updated.

Yeah, it helps a lot.

What I can see available in good price is BCAA supplement strenghtened with L-glutamyne. I can buy this. Then my day would look like this:

Wake up 7 am. I never have apetite at this time.
I drink BCAA+LG ~ 9:15, do 30-40 minutes workout.
I eat protein rich (raw eggs based) breakfast at 10am.
2 pm I eat mediocore meal.
6 pm I eat big meal (raw pork or fish usually).
I do not eat anything afterwards and just go to sleep 10 pm.

The only problem is that I have big craving for sweet things in the morning (from 10am).
But maybe this BCAA supplement will work it out.

111
I did not know what BCAA is but just checked it in google and seems that is is a form of an amino-acid. By "taking it before workout" you mean it is good to buy the supplement or derive this AA from certain kinds of foods? If the latter, what food is rich in this?

I am not a pro athlet, I am rather lean and sporty (lots of amateur soccer), so my first goal would be to gain mass (in the form of muscles, not fat of course).

Intermittent fasting is what I know and what I do (I eat only in 10am - 6pm window).

So basically the only thing I am confused about is this BCAA thing. Can this be eaten naturally and why exactly is this important?


I just reread your post and I think that you suggesst that I should supplement this BCAA or the natural way is to eat carbs or animal proteins as a last meal so amino acids could be realased naturally for the morning routine. Am i right?

Thanks.

Hmmm... so whats the optimal nutriton in terms of pre- and post-workout meals?

Working out on empty stomach in the morning and getting quality proteins afterwards sounds good.
What do you think?

Welcoming Committee / Re: Newcomer needs some expert advice

Thank you very much CH, your opinion was spot on for me as I did not keep with guidleline I listed in last post. I enjoy raw food more and more and I can see that it is rather a slow and steady process than overnight thing. Thanks for your support.

Welcoming Committee / Newcomer needs some expert advice
« on: March 23, 2011, 04:04:15 am »
Hello,
Throughout whole 2010 year I experimented with diets, cutting off more and more foods. Eventually, I became raw vegan, completely convinced that it is the best diet possible. I am concerned about animal rights etc but my choice was never ideological - I just look for diet that works best for my energy levels. Even tough first 40 days brought many positive effects, I found myself cheating on the diet a lot. The reasons where that I never felt full and at some point I could not look at and eat salads (my organism was fed up with this). In addidition i developed some glaze problems and candida.

Few days ago I surfed through amazon to see that Suzan Schneck - big raw vegan authority is no longer a vegan. I was shocked but soon I was to discover that neither is Paul Nisson and many other raw vegan gurus. Meanwhile I got here. I spent at least 20 hours since yesterday reading this board as well as Stanley Bass webpage that I found here.

And I think I am willing to give Paleo a try! From what I read so far I created few rules for myself:
- I give up or limit alcohol, sugar, coffee, tea, bread, pasta, dairy (it is not difficult as most of it was required in raw vegan diet)
- I eat no more than one fruit (or a cup of juiced fruit) a day
- I add 1-2 raw eggs yolks a day
- I eat blended or tossed veg salad (1 a day)
- I eat main meal that consist of raw meat
I think I could create 2 meals a day from these rules as I do not usually have appetite in the morning anyway.

I think I will have no problems with eating carpaccio if I prepare it well with spices. However,  I do not see myself eating organs or fish at the moment. Today I tried eating raw salmon but had to spit it out because it was terrible (i did not use any spices for this, not even salt).

So I would like to know if I should just try to jump into waters or maybe you recommend some transitory stage?
What do you think of my rules above?
What do you think of cooked potatoes - is it really that unhealthy?
What do you think of steamed fish - today I ate this salmon steamed and it was delicious and nourishing - maybe I could keep decreasing steaming time untill it can be eaten raw?
Do you have any advice for newbie as far as any other issues are concerned?
