Why so against long-life milk? What's wrong with it?
Click to expand...

Long-life milk is fine if it's for your tea or coffee, but if you're drinking it from the glass, it's not good for you. If you want to stay healthy, stay away from processed foods. Long-life milk is the epitome of processed foods.
 
Long life milk is just normal milk that undergoes UHT - Ultra High Temperature pasteurization, milk is heated to around 135°C for 2 seconds only. Ever cooked milk for some hot chocolate or warm cereal? No preservatives are added, so its just regular milk boiled for 2 seconds then quickly cooled.

Does this mean you can boil nomal milk, bottle it and keep it for ages ^_^

Yes if the bottle, the air in the bottle and the equipment you use are completely sterile. Also milk boils at 100°C so you might struggle to get it "Ultra High"
 
Vegeta is 100% correct. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I think some reading should be done before giving opinions. There is absolutely nothing added to the milk.
 
Hmm interesting - after googling that it lead me to "home made yoghurt" now considering making that

On that note, I take cream in my milk and tea. Not full-cream milk, but whole fresh cream...the kind they use in baking. It has almost no lactose in a serving (15ml or 1 TBSP) and it only really takes a half to one TBSP to make any cup of coffee creamy.
 
I'd suggest trying some pre workouts. I actually starting using some this year and so far it has been amazing, I feel a lot more pumped when I head to the gym at night. My muscles also recover a lot quicker while gymming. Thus I suggest looking into this, but be sure that some might not work for you, or even make you feel like crap afterwards, so you need to test them first, so if you have a friend that uses some, maybe take half a scoop for a test run.

What I currently use is NPL pre workout, and so far it works great. But in the end it is up to you.
Also I would suggest into looking at eating more protein rich foods such as chicken or tuna. I myself try not to eat too much carbs, but the occasional pizza or sugar slips in :P
 
any one with a decent easy to make tasty recipe for brocolli??

I find just cooking it in the microwave with some water is very bland.

There is no magic pill in gaining mass, unless you want to go the steroid route.

If you have fast metabolism, you starter pack should consist of- whey protein, mass gainer (high carbs) and creatine.

Will be taking whey protein after your workout and first thing in the morning, as those are the times when you need to feed your body as fast as possible to avoid it going into catabolic state.

All other times mass gainer should be taken in between your meals. The time to take creatine doesnt really matter.

The brands to take will purely depend on your budget. Local brands would recommend Evox and SSN, stay away from USN and Biogen.

Dont forget that no supplements can substitute a proper diet!

Might as well buy a bag of suger. It has more nutrients than a mass builders.

Mass builders are BS end of story it's a gimmick.

Have to disagree on your SSN/EVOX/USN/Biogen comments.. I also used to be very anti USN, pro evox/ssn, but I think USN has come a long way the past few years and increased the quality of their products in a big way
There's absolutely nothing wrong with their whey, and its affordable and tastes amazing.. and its definitely def better than EVOX (taste&quality)
if my budget allows I go ON 100%, but on a regular month I just get USN..
USN have a bad rep, but its mostly due to "broscience", just as people everyone jumped on the nutritech (prob the worst whey there is) bandwagon, everyone is on an anti USN bandwagon, when its not really a bad product

I'd personally also advise staying away from Usn and biogen, dodgy as hell company. They are one of those companies that is built predominantly from marketing and not science.

Simliar to this.
Boil with a bit of water for 10 mins, then drain and fry further with some butter, salt & garlic.

Also nice to stir fry once boiled with oyster sauce and you even add some chicken or beef.
