The best detox is to get out of the way of the body. Cut the crap - eat clean, drink clean.

If ur ill or need a serious detox, do a water fast or a fresh juice fast, or just eat nothing but raw foods for a while ( I'd recommend 1 month - did me wonders).

Digestion takes a lot of the bodies energy, get out of the way of the body, let the filters get clean > feel good follows.
I haven't eaten meat, poultry, fish or dairy in 10 days. What I was eating beforehand wasn't working (trying to lose the kgs after a few years of consistent back and hamstring problems) and I just felt clogged up, but 10 days in and I feel much better, sleeping better and I'm consistent with meals now such as eating breakky everyday, something I regularly skipped.

I'm not doing vegan, but fairly strict vegetarian, 1 or 2 things I buy may contain eggs or dairy etc (like bread) but they aren't a staple ingredient. Dealing with cravings was the hardest when cutting everything out, such as the first 3-4 days but did so with plain corn chips and hummus/salsa or dried fruit and nut mix/soy crisps, peanut butter and jam sandwiches etc.

Kinda feels good but just baby steps currently

Hi guys
Never posted on this thread - only pretty new to this site and didn't really know where to post this, but seeing its diet/nutrition I was wondering what you would make of this.
Its a guy that comes on a cycling forum I'm on sometimes and this recent you tube was attached to a new list update.
He's pretty well known on this forum and not particularly well liked from what I've seen.

I'm a fan of the odd swear word, but his incessant swearing just sounds like someone trying to compensate for a limited vocabulary. Amusing the way he tries to insult the intelligence of others while barely being able to articulate a coherent argument.

Here's a diet plan for you (The Mountain Diet):

6.50am — 30min morning workout (cardio and core) followed by protein shake (BCCA, glutamine) and handful of almonds.

7.30am — Eight eggs, 200g oats, blueberries, strawberries, avocado

9.30am — 400g beef, 400g sweet potatoes, handful of spinach and greens

11.50am — BCCA, glutamine (protein)

12pm — 400g chicken, 400g potatoes, greens and fruit

2pm — 150g oats or sweet potatoes, two bananas, 150g Kelloggs Rice Krispies, frozen berries, handful almonds, peanut butter and glutamine (all blended).

2.30pm — Strongman training followed by protein shake (BCCA, glutamine, Vitargo)

5.30pm — 60g protein, two bananas

6pm — 500g beef, 500g potatoes, greens

8.30pm — 500g salmon, 500g sweet potatoes

10.30pm — 50g casein protein or six eggs, avocado, 30g almonds, 50g peanut butter

Midnight — 50g casein protein or raw eggs

*Drink a lot of water and juice throughout the day
Thats outrageous

Back when I was playing footy around 10 years ago in my late teens/early 20s some days I'd have 3-4 shakes and 4 meals on gym days like Monday or Wednesday

Dunno how we'd stomach that, it's like 3 days worth of food/meals lol

Good stuff! Stick to fresh foods/whole foods for the most part with a lash out here n there and u can't really go wrong.

Plenty of water in between meals and some kind of daily stretching/exercise (half hr walk+, etc) does the trick, too.

Yeah doing all that

Doing my rehab in the gym (mainly core, lower back and glute work) and a bit of cardio on the bike/X-trainer, and walk the dog on days I don't go to gym (45 mins this arvo for example)

The bloke is essentially twice the size of your average gym goer, add in the fact he is a professional strongman and trains like a mofo and uses "supplements" his body would burn through the calories.

But you are right no way could you or i stomach that, look up on you tube a lot of fitness blokes have tried the 10,000 calories in a day challenge, eating what ever they like. Eating healthy foods like he has is even harder again. A couple of years ago i managed to stick to a relative healthy bulk, i was getting around 4500 calories a day and it was challenge.

He's 2.06m and weighs 180kgs - no way anyone could maintain that level of muscle without a stupidly over the top eating plan.

It takes me weeks just to put back on the 4+ kgs I lose when I go on holiday.

I'm a big guy myself though, that's why I was surprised

At the strongest I ever was at 22-23 before my injuries came I was 198cm and 125kgs

You were a monster!
Still am, albeit the weight issues and back problems :( funny at the game yesterday walking out of the Southern Stand there were a few drunk Pies fans shouting out obscenities toward the Dogs in general (twas in good humour though, nothing personal etc). So walked past them and they're like, shit better shut our mouths now, I just laughed at them and patted one on the back.


Lost nearly 5kgs the last 2 weeks though :) Vegie diet going great guns, just had a bowl of minestrone :thumbsu:

You would have to be on a pretty serious training regime to need a diet like that, that's a professional body builder type diet. The Rock would eat that.

hey, i've invented a new breakfast that is freakin DELICIOUS

2 soft boiled eggs
bone broth boiled with some silverbeet from the garden, grated carrot and broccoli
himilayan salt
GF Free range bacon fried in lard which was gathered from the amazing geletinous bone broth i made
half an avocado
squeezed lemon from the garden

I have it all in a soup - it's the best breakfast I've come up with. Obvs you could have it at any time of the day and don't have to include bacon, could do any meat including sardines
This is brilliant. I'm going to have to start a blog as i just keep coming up with such great ideas. Plus I'm nearly qualified FDN practitioner which means more blogging :) <3

It sound's like an organic Pho, if you cut the silver beet like noodles? Add a chilli dipping sauce and I'd say that you're on a winner. :)

If you believe the crap they are coming out with now about fat but eat fat, get fat. I don't know why they are all lying.
You can get fat eating too much of anything, but at least fat doesn't promote an insulin spike making you hungry again a couple of hours later.
