i’ve been working out for all of about 5 days and noticed that the protein shake options are all filled with absolute dogshit. does anyone have an option that doesn’t cause cancer?
Discussion
EGG YOLK
I’ve used Jay Robb’s egg white protein powder which is great. Are you looking for premade protein shake products?
red meat, eggs, bresaola, parmigiano cheese
Bottled shake or powder? I trust the quality of this: https://www.livemomentous.com/products/essential-whey-protein
Equip foods if you really want protein powder. I generally think you don’t need it though unless you’re a body builder
Steak, eggs, fish
i’ve been slamming 3 egg yolks in orange juice so i think i’ll just continue with that. i’m already eating basically carnivore anyway
Powder? Transparent Labs Whey, 100%. Ingredient list is as minimal as it gets. 🤙🏼
Raw milk
Unfortunately no good options at the supermarket. Try some raw milk, if you can get your hands on it, or normal cow/goat milk if not with dates, blueberries, and honey/maple syrup. Very anabolic. Gains for days.
egg yolks. do you forget these things on purpose or?
egg yolks give you hard cholesterols that raise your T levels btw
i just need to add a warning that sometimes that means getting biliary colic from too much of this stuff building up in your gall bladder (i suffered it a few months back several times)
i will suggest that probably the main thing to fix this is to either add beef dripping or cacao butter to your diet, around 100g a day, which will not only help with your cholesterol metabolism but fix all kinds of other nerve problems as well (most of them are caused by amylose if you don't have enough repeats of the amylase gene due to having ancestors who ate paleo diets before the coming of sugar and starch dominant industrial production)
everything i eat that is cooked, is cooked in beef tallow, additionally my coffee is just espresso, cream, and butter
well, do like nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m says - egg yolks are good for you
they have a LOT of cholesterol for hormone synthesis, one of the richest sources, plus a shitload of other good antioxidant fats and B vitamins and loads of other things, basically everything except vitamin C
the only food better than egg yolk is raw milk
i slam the egg yolks in orange juice
First sentence BS.
Ignoring the rest
go look up what testosterone is made from, and come back to me
so, are you gonna read the rest then?
you are wrong
LIKE ALL OTHER STEROID HORMONES, TESTOSTERONE IS DERIVED FROM CHOLESTEROL
not only that, but the cholesterol is a delicate thing - heat denatures it and makes it unable to be synthesised into testosterone, and forces the body to synthesise this raw material itself
raw egg yolk contains, when it hasn't been heated over a certain temperature (probably in the 40s C) a cholesterol that is the exact intermediate required
ah yeah, maybe i'm higher T than i give myself credit for, at least in some parts of my system. i am pretty aggressive at certain things, like proving people wrong
idgaf if that causes me problems because you are wrong, and you are promoting wrongness and wrongness leads to suffering, and you clearly dgaf so that makes me mad
let's look at cholesterol itself next, and the different kinds, shall we?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol
so, if you read this text, you would understand that having this chemical absorb in the intestines directly in its correct form dramatically improves its chances of being available for the liver (via P450) to make it into testosterone
raw egg yolk is one of the best forms of precursor material for synthesising testosterone, and no coincidence that this also is found in the fat of most ruminants, where it is protected from damage much better than in an egg yolk
there are few other sources than these two, and you see, the readily absorbable forms simply don't exist in plants and the benefits of it are clear if you are concerned about raising your testosterone levels (and it is equally applicable to estrogen, as they both start with cholesterol)
since you won't admit you were wrong i'm now muting you. good night.
I love egg yokes and spinach with a bit of cheese..
on the run I’ll get the Starbucks version
He’s an egg whites guy if you haven’t heard
might as well skip that too and just eat the shell
real vegans lick the dirt on the outside of the shell to get vitamin B12
🤣🤣🤣
Shells!!! Shudder 😜
i'm a yolk maxi, i only eat whites if they have been fried until a bit brown in places
did you not read the part where i say that that’s what i’m eating? if you didn’t that’s okay i know you are busy
Steak
gibsmedat :nicechan_cute:
💪 There are definitely trustworthy whey protein providers without additives. In addition to the foods mentioned, I can also recommend cottage cheese…
Actual food is good.
I like Jocko Molk protein powder.
