Andy B replied to dominique's discussion How do I get enough fruit on a tight budget?

"I know each place is different but if you have a co-op or market you should also check those out for deals. They will often have reduced produce (because its ripe and they need to sell it). In my area those deals are better than Aldi (which I still…"

Andy B replied to Perry Fullerton's discussion Pull Up Plateau - need help

"I would definitely try and structure your reps more, going all out every time causes a lot of inroad on the muscles and will weaken you quicker Also at your level you should consider adding some weight to your pull-ups, like 10-20…"

"Don't know if Graham explains it but, The basics to the science are the following: 1) every cell runs off sugar (under non-stressed and optimal conditions), thus we need sugar 2) the reason fruit is chosen, rather than rice/oats/pasta/etc...,…"

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: About Me: I think the best way to describe myself is someone defined by the moment. And I don't just mean my mood, I mean that every level of my self (that I can see) changes. This of course means that tomorrow I may no longer be defined by the moment, because that moment may have passed. (Te-he) One constant thing I believe though is that actions are way better than words, so I prefer to define myself through action, which tends to be difficult express in words.

What brought me to 30BaD: It all started half way through my freshman year of college I was dating someone and she was into health/fitness and was a vegetarian. So she got me to try it out (note that before this time I ate SAD and never cared because I was pretty thin) and suffice to say that the diet lasted longer than the relationship. So the following summer, after being vegetarian for about 4 months, I blindly went high carb vegan. I ate 1500-2000 calories of vegetables, rice, pasta, oatmeal a day (where's the fruit!?), while holding a physically active job, working out everyday, and got super emaciated, dropping from a pretty ripped 170 to a weak 135. Not knowing anything I blamed the veganism and started bingeing on anything and everything. I climbed up to 210 over the following 7 months... not getting super fat (as I was still exercising like a madman) but I felt like crap all the time. So that summer I went paleo and proceeded to feel worse and I just got chunky, no motivation to exercise and tired all the time. I remember a friend posted videos of Freelee, Durianrider, and Dan the Man on facebook and I watched them, but wasn't really ready to accept it yet. But over the next month the videos would just pop in my head here are there and after a while I just figured, what did I have to lose? So I took my paleo nonsense, threw it out the window, and went on banana island for 3 weeks. After those 3 weeks I felt better than I ever had before so I went all in. That was August 2011. Since then I've been a high-carb vegan.
