For one thing, I'm a vegetarian (not vegan) and so am in search of ways to consume protein. I make a smoothie mix that includes: 1 whole orange, frozen fruit (always mango, various others), yogurt, baby spinach (raw), a dash of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), hulled hemp seeds, turmeric, soy milk, a whole banana, and a large scoop of high quality whey powder. I consume this approx. every day for breakfast or lunch. For a while now, I've also started taking it to the crag. I freeze 12 oz of smoothie in a plastic bottle and put it in my pack in the morning. In normal summer conditions it will be thawed and ready to drink midday or early afternoon. I've found it an effective source of energy and liquid at the crag that contributes to hydration and is easy to digest while still fairly satiating. This is a main part of my at-the-crag nutrition and has become integral to my routine. <br /><br />Like Rock Monkey risking the "fan-boy" part, Dave I continue to appreciate your thoughtful and methodical approach to climbing and training. Good stuff!<br />ktmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736851189598029771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-68658067901067602162016-08-26T17:35:45.261+00:002016-08-26T17:35:45.261+00:00Thanks for the reply Dave, I completely understand...Thanks for the reply Dave, I completely understand your reinforcement of it working for you and that others shouldn't be lead by this. The nutrition and well being area is a very interesting one which I've spent many, many hours 'researching'. The only thing that is completely clear to me is that there is no single answer for everyone (yet) but there is still much to be learnt and understood. Whilst what works for you may not apply to me I'm still very interested in your 'experiment of 1' as I enjoy your scientific yet realistic approach to learning. Keep up the good work!<br />p.s. Thanks for the work you put into Make or Break and your other injury related posts, I've found the elbow tendonisis content very helpful. <br />P.p.s sorry if that all comes across a bit 'fan-boy'. rockmonkey1977https://www.blogger.com/profile/13283502837546337132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-80104390019461683212016-08-26T10:19:28.413+00:002016-08-26T10:19:28.413+00:00BB - As Ben says, my notes on dealing with Brachio...BB - As Ben says, my notes on dealing with Brachioradialis pain start on Page 129 or Make or Break. Although sticking to the principles in the first part of the book are critical too - overly rapid progression of training will greatly exacerbate the effect of training errors, as will poor recovery practice (probably the cause in my case).<br /><br />Rock Monkey - I tried going back to some limited carbs to support my endurance training, and also to see the effects generally and have so far found it to be highly problematic for me. I doubt it would be the story for others (whether you believe this to be related to insulin sensitivity, gut microbiome, genes etc or a mix of all of these factors). I am still trying to settle on the minimally effective dose of carbs to support sport climbing training for me. For every other aspect, for me at least, the less carbs the better is my consistent finding. Once again, I stress this is for ME and could be quite different for others.Dave MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442169589581067050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-74068854165618191082016-08-16T12:42:25.507+00:002016-08-16T12:42:25.507+00:00Are you still playing with a ketogenic diet Dave a...Are you still playing with a ketogenic diet Dave and using that as a basis to tweak or have you moved away from it now?rockmonkey1977https://www.blogger.com/profile/13283502837546337132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29070294.post-60128771281815753282016-08-15T17:51:10.171+00:002016-08-15T17:51:10.171+00:00Here here!
