Hi All  

I back on board with 1000 questions ? I did brain storm and many questions came on my mind  . I am not sure if I can open them in this thread  
1. I am a bit frustrated BTD and food available on the market (I live in Europe in Polnad). During the weekend i took a tour trough my local hypermarkets to see what can I to choose from wide range od food. NOT MANY  
Q. can I eat fishes (tune, sardine etc..), fruits and some vegetables form tins ? Tuna is available only in tins   (I know problem with mercury), during the winter season many products are unavailable or are very very expensive or poor quality.
2. I love sport since I was a baybe I have always been playing sport like martial arts, biking, hiking, walking, rock climing, snowboarding etc...
Q. I do excercises 3 times per week in fittnes club (cardio, stretching little lifting), 2 times acrobatic excercises in gym, snowboaridng during the weeknd. I need some isotonic liquid instead of mineral water, what would you recommend ? I found low sugar level during my training.
Q. Doe's any one know some alternatives for DAdamo suplements (cheaper but according to BTD)
Q. How to optimize daily rate of protein, carbo and fat according to BTD , sport, and my lipomas.
Q. What about ordinary white potatoes is it beneficial or avoidable or neutral ?

The rest questions  I will submit soon .

Many thanks in advance for nay suggestions  

Cheers
Jacek

Hi all,

Short question : "sauna" would you recommend or not for "ABs" ?

I use to go to sauna every sunday for a few years but now I have break however I would like to start again that is why I am asking ?

Cheers
Jacek

potatoes are neutral, Jacekk
and I'd like to recommend some good olive oils, ghee, and then take a good multivit-multimineral not made of corn; available in your country; I know it's much cheaper then; I like also to recommend to you to try l'arginine, works wonders for us
sauna won't change anything about the problems I fear ; I think it might be hereditaire this problem stop the wheatintake, go for spelt or something else as a benef. or riceflour, better

Can you buy Turkey? I buy it ground, steaks and cubed ( anyway I can because it is a staple for me)
If you eat tuna in a can the "light" packed in water is the way to go, white has the highest mercury content.
Wild salmon (canned) is a lifesaver for me and pretty cheap.
Omega 3 Eggs. I do lots of omlettes and soft boiled.
Hope it helps  

Your isotonic drink - water, pinch of seasalt, lemon juice and some compliant fruit juice?

Generally fresh veg would be best and frozen would be preferable to tinned but just do the best you can with the  food available where you live and the money you have!

As for optimising the combination of protein, carbs and exercise - use the portion and frequency guidelines in LR4YT as starting point and optimise these according to your own requirements - just listen to your body!

you shouldn t try to change the things you do, which make you feel good......
you should try and adapt BTD principles into your lifestyle.
this plan is meant to be individualized according to your needs and reality.

I do not find all the fancy 'whole foods' alternatives for my type, here in Mexico.....but I do find veggies, protein and fruit, to prepare from scratch.........

typebase will give you the values for each food if you have doubts:

and also recibase, will give you loads of good recipes to follow.

HAHAHA   good good, yes it is funny but many people say meat is meat fish is fish  which means neither meat nor weg  heheh

Btw.
What do you think about combaining L'arginine + L-carnityne + Tauryne (separatelly or altogether ) ? I would add some others like L-tirozyne    

thanks all for you ideas

May be I misunderstood   what exactelly is fishles ? some other meanning ?

i think isa is saying how great fish is for our blood type.

for mandi
fish is easier to digest than meat for us .....no-no you'd got it right

Iknow fish is good for us, but I am troubled by the fact that many fish are being fished out, and soon, apparently there will not only be not enough fish for us to eat, but the whole ecological balance of the sea will be disabled. If we tackle it from the fish farm point of view, apparently the fish meal that is used there to feed the farmed fish is also depleting the oceans in a dangerous manner. Any opinions?

Jenny, I heard on NPR today about a list put out by the Monterrey Bay Aquarium listing which seafood is safe to eat, ecologically speaking.  They have a Green = Best, Yellow = Good, & Red = Avoid color coded system on their Seafood Search.

I was especially interested to hear that although swordfish had been endangered, the actions taken in the 90's, particularly by famous chefs to remove the item from their menus, was successful in allowing the "Northern Atlantic stock to be nearly fully rebuilt".  

I really liked the pictures of the different fish...I've never heard of some of the fish that are on the BTD food lists and it was good to get acquainted!  

lot s of cooking events in their calendar!
do you think the list is available on their website?
is it the Seafood Watch Pocket Guide maybe?

thanks Marianne and Lola, that was a great response to my query. Even though the information is rather U.S. oriented, I can still make good use of it.

Cheerio,

wow, great link, thanks for sharing!

Jacekk, I have  friends in Poland.  They're not on the BTD, but the mother has a huge amount of knowledge of fresh, healthy foods and herbs.  Would you be interested in contacting the family?  She's American and he's a Pole.  If you want, I will ask her permission to give you her e-mail address.

Welcome to the forum, jacekk.

You will be fine doing the activities and finding the best foods available in your locale.  The BTD foods focus on whole, natural foods: vegetables, fruits, appropriate protein sources, appropriate dairy sources, et al.

We each have various access to different fresh foods dependent on factors such as where we live, our personal lifestyle, how much we desire to spend on food/supplements.

Hi hia all,

Tomatila few more questions :

1. You adviced me to take L-arginine and L-lisine - what is the dailly rate and how long period so to see any results. I found some suplements from Hi-Tec Nutrition

L-LISYNE
ingredients (1 kaps):
L-lizyna 600 mg
Niacyna 9 mg
Witamina B6 1 mg
Witamina B12 0,5 mcg

L-ARGININA
ingredients (1 kaps):
L-arginina - 700 mg
Niacyna - 9 mg
Witamina B6 - 1 mg
Witamina B12 - 0,5 mcg

2. I also found some altrenative to NAP Suplements destined for ABO company "Calvita International". I am interested in because it is easier to get and cheaper than NAP. Please have look here is the web page  to the AB porduct http://www.multiwitaminy.com/vitalAB.html and comment what do you think ?

3. My friend who is body builder prepared for me daily rate of whithintake of carbo, fat and proteins. Tis is designed base on age, body fat percentage, type of life tec.

Weight 75kg
Body fat level~25%

Training aerob: intensive  ~3 x week

dailly rate kcal = 2000

Protein (1,5gr/kg.body mass)  = 105gr/per day = 420kcal/per day
Fat (1gr/kg.bd)  = 75 gr/per day = 675kcal/per day
Carbo (3gr/kg.bd) = 225gr/per day= 900kcal/per day

1'st altrenative
Day: 4 meals =~ 500kcal/per meal
in one meal:
   27gr protein
   25gr fat (besides atfter taining meal)
   56gr carbo
  The meal after training should not consit big amount of fat (as little as possible)
   
2'nd alternative
Day: 5 meals =~ 400kcal/per meal
in one meal:
   21gr protein
   19gr fat (besides atfter training meal)
   45gr carbo

   The meal after training should not consit big amount of fat (as little as possible)

Please have look if above algorythm is ok for me according to BTD and my lipomas ? If you have any suggestions please just tell me.

4. You suggested me to stop any sweets, ok I stopped but thw question is how about sugar ? I found "Stevia" dry leafs in my local HFS , can i use this as a sweetener eg. for tee, in baking, cooking etc ? it is on neutral list but...

Many thanks in advance for any help and commnets.

 

My suggestion is you follow the BTD recommendations and don't worry about carb, fat, and protein amounts or ratios. It works and it is a lot easier.

Besides what blood type is your body builder friend? My guess is he is probably a type O.

sorry dearle, are you sure that those products are the right-one of Peter's downline

but must say  the ingredients arent' that bad with those amounts of aminoacids, that sounds good
about *stevia* this I think is ok only neutral for AB's secretors, but we don't know if you are a nonnie or a sechi ...so far if you don't get the feeling of might be you are a secretor, if you are a nonnie,
don't wonder it that stuff just - you  

another demand, please, don't do the error and confond O's and AB's ability for sports and don't be if that won't work exactly the same for you as for your friend, therefore we might be quicker and sharper in mental things  
hey ...man...good work go on this way and you feel better and better
