just read this on t-nation

TC,

How do you feel about a couple of large soft-drink companies buying up a huge portion of the milk proteins from around the world?

Will Biotest customers feel the squeeze, and is there really reasons to be nervous about a milk protein (including; whey isolate, whey concentrate, micellar casein, casein caseinate, whey hydrolysate, peptopro, casein hydrolysate, Milk Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Concentrate) shortage?

How do I feel about them buying up protein?

I want to stab, stab, stab them until they're dead, dead, dead!

Other than that, I'm fine with it.

I mean, yes, they've forced us to deal with higher protein prices, but there's nothing to indicate there'll be a shortage. I've noticed that some companies are shouting out that the protein sky is falling, but this may be an effort to induce hoarding among their customers. That, or just make them feel better about paying higher protein prices.

why do softdrink companies want protein?

go to Gatorade to find out

lol, I get the same Quinoa, have the same shaker cup, and have that same white bowl with the dark green pattern.

costco should carry some virgin cold pressed coconut oil!

when i first tried it, i cooked it with chicken broth and it was awesome. i don't eat it much but if i do want a rice/pasta i would definitely go quinoa.. very healthy alternative. i saw on global's weekend news they used quinoa to make dessert too... i think it was some sort of cake/brownie? wonder what that's like.

That is so freaking cheap for quinoa..
I gotta rip off superstore by marking it down as Millet to get it that cheap... lol

I eat it for breakfast often..
If you make a huge batch it will hold up in the fridge for like a week. I throw raisins and cinnamon in when I cook it. Then when I want some I just throw some in a bowl with milk and a scoop of protein. Breakfast in like 2 minutes.

does it have protein in it or just a good complex carb and fibre food like oatmeal?

oatmeal has protein and quina has even more

rrxtar,
what are u benching these days

havent really pushed flat bench since i did the 3x275 2 weeks ago. probably wont move past that for a while tho anyway. inclined 6x245 last nite.


had a good back/arm/core workout today.

dam man
your incline is solid, i think im to tall for the bench on incline, my head pops of the top by 6 inches haha

I don't know if its just me, but do you guys tend to eat less during summer?
Cuz the heat's driving the appetite outta me!
Also, what are some good foods to reduce gases? Been always kinda feeling bloated this past week

Hey guys, first time posting in this thread sorry if some of the questions were asked before....
So I'm taking this whey powder thing.. the kinds you can get at walmart.. it says that I should take one spoon every day ish... Is it ok to take 3 spoonfuls daily, not sure if that's the best thing I'd be doing.
Also, what's a relatively easy way to gain weight? I heard protein shakes were good ways to quickly gain weight. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I think ginger is used to prevent gas...
One thing that doesnt prevent gas is the Crystal Light Live Active drinks.. They add 3 grams of inulin fiber to it. They dont put any mention on the box to start off slow with this stuff cuz it does make you gassy the first couple times you have it.
I drank like 3 liters of the stuff and started to feel a little gassy. I got home and since i had never heard of inulin fiber I decided to google it. That is when I found out that typically you use very low dosages of the stuff at first to get used to it.
I sat at home the rest of the night scared my ass was gonna have a blow out from the gas. I've never experienced anything like it before. I actually had to sleep in my living room for a bit cuz my bed room was starting to stink.

nothing like an epic day of farts to let you know your body means business
