I used to do and pre- and post- shakes before all workouts. I used to stretch before all of them too. Over the last year or so I stopped stretching before any workout and went full keto. Since then, my recovery times are easier/shorter/less sore. But with the full keto also came the paleo/primal eating and avoidance…

Avocado oil is a great high smoke point oil if you care about PUFAs and the other not so healthy issues that come from vegetable or canola oil.

I deal with mild scalp and beard dandruff. My scalp solution also works on my face. I use Jason Natural anti dandruff shampoo 2 or 3 days a week on my scalp (spring through fall is twice a week; but as it gets cold and dry out in winter I use it three times a week). While I let it soak in a bit on my scalp, I use the…

As with many health related issues, I think this is really dependent on the person. I’m not a morning person. I sleep til the last minute. So for me, a workout immediately after work is what works. I also tend to be less limber when I first wake up, but by 6pm I’ve been up for 10+ hours and am limber enough. But I…

I disagree about the purple “pass out” part in the groin area. No its not pleasant, but I have one there and it hurt less than the one across my shoulders and spine. The most painful part was the far edge of the groin near my pelvic bone. Of course, all things are subjective including pain. I have a high tolerance for…

I use theater mode when I don’t want txts from the hookers being seen by my girlfriend. Ok just kidding... but I use a sleep tracking app, DND, and theater mode at night while sleeping. Usually if I charge up while showering or getting ready for work or for an hour or so before going to sleep, I can get through my…

See my previous comment.. I charge in the morning for about an hour and can get through my entire work day including a workout or run for 45-60 minutes with Airpods and music playing and even RunKeeper. I’ll typically throw it on the charger while showering after the workout. But then I charge again for 30-60 minutes…

What happened to the rumored sleep tracking app? My guess is its still coming but not til they release an updated Apple Watch with a better battery... or some new software to make the same battery last longer that requires a new Apple Watch (otherwise what other compelling reason will they have to get people to…

To clarify... when I order my double espresso and add two more espresso shots than choose “extra heavy cream”, it DOES charge me for the extra heavy cream. My point is simply this... I can walk in an order an unsweetened iced latte with extra heavy cream. It’ll cost a tad over $5 (I think its like $4.95 for the latte…

Well I’m glad I can avoid being a bully by simply ordering through the app. So now I can save money and feel better about myself too. Thanks!

<insert facepalm> Its not stealing if the app allows you to order the same drink a different way. Imagine if you walked into Chipotle and a “chips and guac” was $5, but you could order chips for $1 and guac for $2 and get the same thing for $3 total. Its the same thing. It’s not stealing... it’s more like using a…

I’ll add that on some occasions I’ll do coconut milk instead of heavy cream. Starbucks charges extra if you substitute any dairy based milk for coconut, soy, or almond milk in the store. But if you order via the app, they don’t seem to UNLESS you order extra <alternative> milk.

Okay... here’s the Starbucks life hack to get your iced (or hot) espresso drink for cheap: USE THE APP! I love some espresso, but I’m one of those pro-keto, low carb people so I add Stevia and I avoid most dairy, but not heavy cream. If I order a macchiato or an iced latte to get four shots, but swap out the dairy for…

“as your baggage isn’t searched at your landing destination when traveling in the states” Not necessarily true. Watch a few episodes of Dope or Vice. DHS and others do check baggage at both ends (especially with dogs) as they are intentionally looking for airport employees that are “on the take” and letting stuff…

Funny you mention this. Trader Joe’s also sells granulated garlic, himalayan pink salt, and peppercorns in grinders. I like to empty one out and fill it 1/3 pink salt, 1/3 peppercorn, 1/3 garlic and then grind them all together. Once you have another empty grinder, you can just pour your Everything But the Bagel…

Well, picture this scenario... you intend to fly between states with laws that make it legal in both. But you get re-routed (someone dies on your plane, engine issues, etc. and you end up in a rental, or just collecting your bags in a different state than planned, etc. Say you get pulled over in your rental or your…

Something else to consider is what happens if your flight is re-routed. You can plan a flight from a weed friendly state to another weed friendly state... and while you’re in the air, you’re fine. But if your flight is re-routed for any reason, you could have a problem on the ground where you land. I’ve had no issues…

Oh geez... does there always have to be some nitpicking ass-hat troll out there? I don’t literally laugh. I don’t take pleasure in other people’s problems. I’m not some narcissistic sociopath (though if I was I’d never admit it). It was a phrase. Sarcasm. Irony. I’m meant it like “I laugh it off”. Go bother someone…

I agree with an aspect of this article, but disagree on one front. Personally, I’m the whole foods type (and I don’t mean the grocery chain owned by Amazon but more of the Marks Daily Apple, primal eating type). My rule is to buy and prepare whole foods. Where not possible, I go to minimal ingredients (ex:…

I’ve been doing something similar for months... basically I eat lots of salads during the week so by the weekend I A) have leftover salad components and B) am kind of burnt out on salads. My usual is to take all the leftover spinach, kale, arugula, tomato, and mushrooms and shred or dice it up and mix it with…
