Great to hear that you're staying sharp.

As I've many times told people, I'm built for thinking not for muscles. Therefore I need to hold to the brain functioning for as long as possible. As do all reading this!Mark Leavy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 7:30 pmGuaranteed to be a strong factor in at least the maintenance.

One of our organization's main tenants produces it. I've never ever even tasted it because I cannot stand anything with a vinegar type smell to it. When my parents would eat french fries with vinegar on them I'd have to leave the room.dualstow wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 12:57 pmThis is fairly contrarian forum, and not just in the area of investing.
I'm curious: do you think kombucha is BS or worth drinking? I’m thinking about brewing it to save on costs, but I'm still somewhat skeptical.
Any thoughts?
(There's an older thread started by MG but it went nowhere. Consider this a bump).
That is such a weird New England thing. Ruins the fries which would otherwise be an important part of the Permanent Diet.
On the ingredients list how far down is "sugar" listed as an ingredient?Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Fri Jul 17, 2020 7:48 pmNot really a "supplement" but I've been using Costco brand protein bars as an pre-emptive appetite suppressant. 20g of protein and 15g of fiber 2 or 3 times a day.
Some boutique shops (or hippy dippy co-ops) will have "live pickles" or live kraut. Made through fermentation instead of just soaking them in vinegar. If I see some, I usually pick some up just because I like the tang more than the mass produced stuff. I had an ex that would make sauerkraut and I always enjoyed that.

180cal
5g fat
24g carb
16g fiber
2g sugar
3g erythritol (sounds like a urinary tract infection medicine)
22g protein
The protein is milk protein and whey. Fucking awesome. For Vinny: sugar is not listed on the ingredients.
Don't be such negative nancies, these things are the bomb.
Nope. The things I like list sugar as an ingredient. If that's your criteria..... good luck.vnatale wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 9:15 pmWhile we are somewhat on topic and referring back to a comment you'd prior made to me.
I'm leaning towards fully believing I'm not getting enough protein to maximize my exercise efforts.
Do you have any protein supplements you favor -- with no sugar (or its cousins) or dairy listed as an ingredient?
You have had experience with these supplements? If so, do you see anything objectionable about this which seems like it maybe fits my criteria? I have zero past experience with any of this.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Sat Jul 18, 2020 9:26 pmNope. The things I like list sugar as an ingredient.

Meat is sugar free, btw.
Thanks for the full explanation.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 6:17 amMake up your mind. Do you care about 2g of sugar or not?
The protein I've used for many years is Optimum Nutrition, which has pretty similar nutrition data, but mixes perfectly without a blender, which is a big factor for me. I don't know if that TGS one does or not, but please let me know. ON is also one of the legit companies that, when independent labs do testing, actually has as much protein as the label says. The other thing to consider is that ON is a blend of whey protein concentrate & isolate, and TGS is concentrate; some people have a harder time digesting concentrate. Don't take that as "concentrate is hard to digest" since you might have no issues.
Just try it and see how you like it.
Sounds like you're trying to say that you prefer fruit and honey and natural stuff more than sugar that is refined out of natural stuff, even though they all have the same types of sugars in them. Being against "-toses" makes no sense, those are just the technical names for different types.vnatale wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 7:31 amRegarding the sugar. I'm not against the sugar that is in fruit. I am against cane sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, maltose, all the other -toses's, and all the other similar type sugars.
I will eat honey and maple syrup once in a while (thought I acknowledge they may be quite similar to sugar. It's just not as easy to find food that contains them as ingredients.) Stevia is my choice of sweetener.
Milk nutritionally has "sugar" in it. I'm not against sugars in their natural forms as part of whole foods. I am opposed to all the sugars I just listed above.
I believe you.I actually (believe if or not) just realized that whey is from milk (and, the product I asked you about is 100% made from whey from milk).

Milk (from ruminants) also has naturally occurring trans fats in it.
It means that I let nothing into my house which has any of those type sugars I describe. And, I cannot even remember what year I last bought anything for my house that has honey or maple syrup in it.
I'm a label reader and it requires constant vigilance to not buy any foods that contain the sugars that I describe. And, I also buy none that have honey or maple syrup in it. However, so as to not be totally rigid and inflexible, when I'm out still I'll avoid those sugars but might eat something sweetened by honey or maple syrup. That strategy drastically reduces my intake of sugar.
And, some background. I was a sugar-aholic. When I was 21 I was eating a pound of candy a day. For supper I could eat only a half gallon of ice cream. At business meals, I could eat only a sundae. When I was 23 I had 29 sides of cavities. I obviously had an issue with sugar.
At the age of 34 I stopped eating all the sugars which I described I avoid and have never succumbed since.
Therefore I've drawn these bright lines because otherwise my personality does not allow for moderation. It's generally either all or none.

Vinny, I'm biting my tongue here. I certainly am not in a position to criticize other peoples's whackjob dietary ideas.
