Food
Since a) dieting b) trying to eat only positive foods, I’ve really restricted what I eat. What I eat:
I do the same thing as slainge with oats+buckwheat, specifically:
In a bowl, combine 1:4 ratio of buckwheat:oats, mixed about, then add 50% of total weight in lemon juice (so e.g. 20g buckwheat, 80g oats, 50g lemon juice) then add boiling water which just about covers the mix. Cover and leave for 24 hrs (I prepare before bed then ‘carb backload’ the next evening afterr training. I eat mine with raspberries, banana, coconut oil and cocoa. It is delicious.
Chicken and spinach salads with apple cider vinegar, olive oil. 2-3 of these a day
Brown rice
Potatoes
Fish oil
And for now, that’s pretty much it, except for refeeds which are usually snackajack, frosties and rice krispie squares oriented affairs

Hey Danny.
Where did you get the info for the oats n buckwheat?
My understanding of the process is as follows…
One serving of oats plus a tablespoon of buckwheat (I usually add more) in warm water with a teaspoon of lemon juice (or whey (the yogurt variety)) and leaving it covered in a warm place for 12 - 24 hours. By adding boiling water you are potentially destroying the phytase in the buckwheat which is necessary to neutralise the phytic acid in the oats. A great resource for all this is contained in the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig (John Meadows swears by Mary Enigs book on fats n Oils).
You should try adding in an egg or two when cooking the oat mixture on a medium to low heat, continuously stirring so as not to scramble the eggs. You’ll get a custard like consistency and it wont be eggy especially if you are using mashed banana, coconut oil and cocoa.
Look up no oats oatmeal for an alternative recipe http://mealplan.primalblueprint.com/recipe/no-oat-oatmeal/
Making good food takes time and effort, which I have slowly come to understand esp. now that I have kids and I want the best for them.[/quote]
Hello mate, thanks for that. As to what I said, I was at work, and basically, chatting shit. I agree. I actually ‘bring water towards the boil’ but it’s definitely hotter than warm (at first, since I leave it for a during, during which time it obviously cools) but not actually boiling. I can’t recall where I read it first, Lipski’s Digestive Wellness maybe? And as to the lemon juice, I’m sure a but more acidity will help (and is delicious). Glad I’m not the only nut with random bowls full of oats in the cupboard! My housemates think it’s weird…but they are on the red bull/bread/chicken kiev diet…notworking too well so IDK what they think[/quote]
Lol yeh having bowls of stuff around the kitchen brewin n a bubblin does look a bit odd to the uninitiated but what they hey we know better! If you can tolerate that much lemon then more power to ya because its great stuff and yes more acidity is best
