I got a brown rice protein powder, as I’m trying out different protein types. I mixed it with yogurt. Very tasty actually. Gonna go have some more.
I also got a soy protein powder, but it does not seem to be as popular as whey.
Plan is: whey protein after workout, soy/rice proteins during the day…my Indian diet is not necessarily a high protein one.
I know you probably made this comment in jest Numi, but brain mass isn’t useful. Really what you want is activities that increase brain density. There is prelimary research that meditation accomplishes that. The first example I came across on Scholar.google: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3004979/
“. The results suggest that participation in (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) is associated with changes in gray matter concentration in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes, emotion regulation, self-referential processing, and perspective taking.”
And that’s my plug for “psychic nonsense” for today.
a fatty brain is what you’re after right? I think healthy fats are good for a fat brain - avacado, pistachios, cashews, flax seeds.
Good call about the Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream…yumyumyum…this is tasty. I look forward to drinking this everyday.
Vega protein is really the best - no chemicals, clean burning
I use vanilla and blend with frozen spinach, frozen organic strawberries, 1 banana, almond butter
sometimes I use other berries or fresh kale instead of frozen spinach
Absolutely sounds great.
I presently go for Avocado shake with wild honey. Berries in India are very very costly, but when I do get them once a month I add them.
Now a days feel a bit bored to create shakes like greenman. So sometimes eat them as salads instead. Avocado & srouts with curd and seasonings - I find it very tasty!
I used to use ON Double Chocolate. Now that I’m married we usually have food in the fridge, so if I’m going home after the gym then I’ll just eat something with protein rather than make a shake.
If I’m going straight from the gym to work then I usually drink some kefir post workout. Kefir is great stuff.
For mental function you want animal/plant fats; beef, pork, butter, coconut oil, avocados. And decreased sugar helps too. The “saturated fat causes heart disease” belief partially explains how Americans became cognitively impaired.
Yeah I drink this goat milk kefir probiotic that is pretty good - it’s like a smoothie
are you russian?
