    Anyone dealing with depression of anxiety?

    You need to identify the root cause of what is troubling you. Going on a holiday is not the answer. That is a distraction. You will not find your answer by running from your suffering. You must face it without fear and with an open mind.

    Anyone dealing with depression of anxiety?

    Hello Kindred. What is it exactly that troubles you about death? Is it your own mortality? Has some one close you you died recently? If you're not willing to divulge this openly, then you are welcome to PM me.

    Anyone dealing with depression of anxiety?

    A simple explanation from a clinical level is: Depression is anger turned inward. From a spiritual level, Depression can be seen as the mind wanting to, but is unable to, latch on to something that made it happy in the past or something new that may make it happy. Ever wondered why people become...

    Bodybuilding Motivation Quotes

    I only have and need one motivational quote: Stop thinking! Thinking invites distraction. With a clear mind, no hurdles arise and you can just "be". With no thinking, there is no "I don't feel like it today", or "I can't do it". Thinking breeds aversion, so stop thinking. Just get up, go to...

    Needle exchange locations

    n00bs, I hope you find the root cause soon and overcome it. All I've got is chronic sleep paralysis, so I can't complain.

    Needle exchange locations

    You had me worried there for a minute! I get sad when I hear about people with drug addiction. I hate drugs, I hate alcohol, and I hate cigarettes. I've been to too many funerals as a result of smoking, and seen too many lives ruined by the other two. I wish everyone got addicted to going to...

    Post up what you are eating

    I always loved Bill Kazmaier's breakfast: "when I was world's strongest man, I ate 5 pounds of beef, 10 pounds of vegetables, and a gallon of beer or two, for breakfast". Outstanding! My meal plan though wouldn't have satisfied the great Bill Kazmaier. Breakfast (6:30am) - Jumbo Purple shake...

    My breakfast (fyi)

    I used to bloat but then I realised I was lactose intolerant, so I only drink lactose free milk. I will talk to my GP about the test you recommended. I appreciate the advice. Many thanks.

    My breakfast (fyi)

    I forgot to mention that my nutritionist pointed out I was consuming too much protein. She said my diet was very good protein wise so she recommended I cut out my pre and post whey shakes for a while to see if that is a contributing factor. I replaced the shake with a serve of tuna pre work out...

    My breakfast (fyi)

    The overall reading was 7.1. I don't have the print-out with me which shows the breakdown of LDL, HDL, triglycerides, etc. I did try a course of Milk Thistle but it didn't help. Maybe I should keep taking it for a longer period. I was recently thinking that the single course may have not been...

    My breakfast (fyi)

    My liver function results are always off the scale. I've had this problem and the high good cholesterol issue for about 10 years, back when I started getting tested on a regular basis. I've had every test you can think of and been to specialists, but they cannot find a definite reason for the...

    My breakfast (fyi)

    My nutritionist told me to use 1 tablespoon a day. I'm not sure what that equates to in grams. You can get it from most supermarkets, and I would imagine, from most health food shops too. Last one I bought was from Coles for $10 but that was a brand name. The Woolworths Select brand is cheaper...

    My breakfast (fyi)

    Hi Daniel. If you leave the shake standing for a long time, then it will start to firm up, but because my shake is so big, it doesn't get the chance to solidify. I drink it long before it has that chance. Sometimes I'm logged on doing work from home while drinking the shake over the space of...

    My breakfast (fyi)

    I experimented with my diet for about a year by reading a whole lot of articles and talking to a nutritionist. The breakfast I created even surprised the nutritionist. I found it works well for me and keeps me going all morning. Best part for me is, I drink the whole thing! I really don't like...

    Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

    Hello all I logged into AUSBB a l o n g time ago. It may have been in 2008 (!), something like that. I fell off the forum after being stuck with work commitments and left the weights alone for a long time. I picked them up again for a few months at a time, then fell back into old habits. Now...

    [Article] Beginners and Novices: Save your $$$

    I tried a few different brands of creatine and followed the directions on the label. I also tried loading/maintaining/unloading. I found that when I ran out of product and didn't resume taking it, I was no worse off. In other words, for me creatine did nothing. I haven't taken it for over 6...

    Best supplements for muscle gain?

    People can eat 3, 5, 6, or 7 meals a day. It depends on your metabolism how that food is used. I suggested 6-7 smaller meals a day because in 2009, western society is in a position to eat more regularly, and through education and research, we know that eating smaller portions more frequently is...

    Best supplements for muscle gain?

    - Creatine (HPLC tested) - Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) or a protein blend that has a high concentration of WPI rather than a high value of Weigh Protein Concentrate (WPC) - A carbohydrate supplement like Waxy Maize Apart from these three, I recommend to review your diet and ensure you eat 6-7...

    Does Glutamine live up to the hype?

    Hi all. Just joined the forum. I like to research supplements before I buy them and found some interesting information on the AIS website about Glutamine.( I can't paste the URL because this site doesn't allow it until I lodge 15 or more posts :mad: ) You can find the reports by googling...
