    Does anyone here make/ consume kefir/kimchi/sauerkraut etc?

    this would negate the health benefit of the sauerkraut as the flora would die in the heat.... Would be the same as pasteurisation?

    Does anyone here make/ consume kefir/kimchi/sauerkraut etc?

    just saw this after I posted my question. interested to learn how you do it. i really would like to eat yogurt, but my gut dosent like dairy right now. Uncertain in if it is the lactose, or the A1 casien that irritates my gut, but have avoided it just i case. my first brew of kefir water...

    Does anyone here make/ consume kefir/kimchi/sauerkraut etc?

    Yep,the grains are live, and eat the sugar in the milk (or in my case raw sugar as I am a avoiding dairy) and the by product is pro biotics. The stuff I got has over a dozen beneficial strains, and apparently the quantity is a lot more per serve than a commercially made capsule. Trial and...

    Does anyone here make/ consume kefir/kimchi/sauerkraut etc?

    I just ordered some water kefir grains and am about to start making my own pro biotic drink. I have been using commercial pro biotics for the last couple of years (I have a bad gut) and thought I would try my own. figured water kefir was the easiest to start with, if it's a success I may try...

    Thinking of keto, I need help

    Depends on the goal. keto is best known for its appetite control and energy management. I agree ketosis is a side effect of a particular diet, but I see value in it. I believe there are benefits to be had from a energy/ cognition perspective whilst still being in a caloric deficit. the...

    Jungnaut needs help with Diet Plan (critique please)

    Any Fat loss will typically come with a small amount of muscle loss..... Without gear. The bigger the deficit, the bigger the chance of muscle loss. I would have thought eating 3700 calories with 60-70kg FFM would have been a decent surplus. things I do to help...... Keep protein relativley...

    Thinking of keto, I need help

    I Would never have the discipline to eat only meat..... Not enough variety Also if eating leaner cuts the higher protein can convert to glucose through glucogenisis.

    I agree you need to reduce your calories. Just read your stats, and thinking you have 60-65kgs of fat free mass based on 85kgs, 20% bf etc. the fat free mass is what determine your BMR (as I am sure you already know) thinking 3700 is wayyyyyyy over the top for fat loss. 2700 as Steve said...

    Thinking of keto, I need help

    I typically would be keto for a month, then cycle back into carbs for another month or so. i have never stayed in full ketosis for longer than a month, not for strategic reasons, but I usually get very sick of the same food, and my wife hates my keto breath! variety is the spice of life!

    Jungnaut needs help with Diet Plan (critique please)

    I can see it being viewed as a aggressive stratergy, but I look at the weekly defecit, and if I am to have a reprieve and enjoy some reasonable food on a weekend, then my sacrifice is to be very strict for 5 days..... A lot easier knowing I can have more enjoyable foods over the weekend. i...

    Jungnaut needs help with Diet Plan (critique please)

    I like to hit a decent calorie deficit mon- Friday (eg my maintanence is say 3500, and eating 2000 with cardio) then using sat- sun as a refeed period, but keeping calories close to maintanence, but without cardio or training. I do do this for a mental break, and I only need to keep my...

    Thinking of keto, I need help

    The biggest thing with keto is wrapping your head around the macro split, especially during induction. fat needs to be 60-70% of your total calories, and during induction even higher. protein will be lower than normal, and carbs initially in induction only trace amounts. i used a lot of MCT/...

    The 0ni diet

    I have a small hiatal hernia, so the higher fat, and extended periods of fasting due to either protocol or not being hungry due to ketosis was a bad combo. my acid reflux has always been slightly different from normal, in that foods havent typically aggravated it as much as fasting. i would...

    What are you or what did you train today?

    Very much the same. 10 years ago I would military press behind the neck 140kgs for reps of 5-10. Tore my shoulder twice doing this. these days i do max of 40-60kgs, but just do heaps of reps and volume. Late last year I put 100kg on the bar, and my shoulders could push it, but I felt a niggle...

    I def understand the injury thing. i would love to be able to lift heavy like I used to, but my shoulders are toast.

    The 0ni diet

    Cool. More power lifting or bodybuilding focussed? I am guessing the former?

    What are you or what did you train today?

    Are you more power lifting focussed Shrek? Do you compete/ lift serious weight? a lot of power lifting stuff is very foreign to me.
