Do you think it's super important to eat first thing in the morning? Or after a workout? Are you in the camp that thinks it's better to fast for a certain period of time? How about eating your carbs before noon? Or are you a carb backloading fan? Do you think eating several small meals a day keeps your metabolism up? Or do you think remaining in a constantly-fed state messes up your insulin resistance? Here's a nice article on how none of that is true and all of that is true. Surprise, surprise, these things are all dependent on the individual! So stop listening to the eighty zillion theories and studies out there and start paying attention to what your body wants and needs. Unless it wants doughnuts and pizza all the time, in which case you might want to moderate that shit. Or not! Your life, your choices!
Make your own cold gel packs. Awesome. Hopefully I won't need an ice pack anytime soon because I'm getting even more serious about mobility during my 300 Swings challenge. I'm rolling out for an hour at least twice a week, and I try to roll out at least my quads and glutes every day. Of course, Breaking Muscle came through with an article about yoga poses for posterior chain mobility. Yay!
I've eliminated the vast majority of packaged foods from my diet, but there are still a few things I buy that aren't from the perimeter of the grocery store. I avoid eating a lot of canned foods because BPA and estrogen. BPA exits the body pretty quickly, so I'm not too stressed about the couple times a month I eat tuna or canned olives. But I use coconut milk pretty regularly (several times a week) and I'm wondering if I would benefit from buying it in aseptic packaging. It's just so expensive. And also, from Amazon. *sigh* I dunno. Anyone have thoughts on how dangerous is BPA? Melissa Joulwan posted an NPR story on her blog about how BPA might not be that bad and I was like "what do you think about this?" and she replied "I really don’t know. I mean, at some point, I feel like I have to stop over-thinking and just eat, you know what I mean?" I know, Melissa. I know. But every little bit helps, right? Just...twice as expensive as the canned coconut milk I buy from the mom-and-pop Asian grocery four blocks from my house. You know? BLARGH. Frustrating.
My god, when did this journal become a health and fitness blog? I really need to post about something like FASHION or FANDOM or just...ANYTHING else, really. Sheesh.
