Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Annie, Are you officially in the BFL challenge? If so, then you'll of course have to use Myoplex products to be eligible to win. However, if you're just using BFL to get yourself into shape, you could save lots of money by making use of the following recipe (with some additional notes on how it can be consumed in relation to the timing of your workouts): " . . . If you consumed a hormonally correct pre-workout meal and performed your workout in a hormonally intelligent fashion, you boosted your metabolic rate and stimulated a surge of growth hormone that shifted your metabolism into a heightened fat-burning mode [bFLers would agree]. It is now time to reap the fat-burning/muscle- enhancing benefits of your time and energy investment in the gym. " All the misinformed 'experts' and the ones with hidden commercial agendas would have you drink a 'recovery' drink or shake (which is the post-workout version of the pre-workout 'performance' drink). the insulin spike produced by these high-carbo concoctions will, literally within seconds of swallowing your first gulp, kick you out of the heightened fat-burning state that you worked so hard during your workout to attain. You will still enjoy the benefits of the post-exercise metabolic elevation, which is independent of hormonal factors, but the percentage of fat burned to fulfill the increased post-exercise energy requirement will be reduced significantly. " By contrast, a medium-sized protein or protein/fat meal will not thwart post-exercise fat burning. Rather, it will perpetuate the fat- burning momentum generated by your workout. Moreover, post-workout protein consumption is useful in replenishing amino acids in the wake of exercise-induced amino acid oxidation. In addition, by consuming protein immediately after exercise, you capitalize upon a 'window of opportunity' in which amino acid transport into muscles and protein synthesis are accelerated. By taking advantage of this metabolic 'window of opportunity,' you get post-workout recovery off to a strong start by counteracting the catabolic conditions that prevail in the aftermath of an intense training session. " I recommend making your own pre-workout performance drink or post- workout recovery drink. First, buy high-quality protein powder. . . . If it is sweetened, be wary of the carbohydrate content. If it is unsweetened, you can sweeten it yourself with a zero-carb sweetener. Add a few tablespoons of whipping cream and ice and blend for a zero-carb, high-protein, moderate-fat, rich, creamy, frosty shake. You can substitute a tablespoon of olive oil and/or flaxseed oil for a tablespoon of cream [i substitute with Udo's] to provide even more health and fat loss benefits. Using oil will also allow you to use less saturated fat in the form of cream. However, too little cream relative to oil may ruin the taste, so experiment to find a happy medium. [i never find this to be a problem, not once I've added some sweetener.] " The saturated and monounsaturated fat in this shake supports testosterone production in men. Thus, not only will it promote growth hormone release due to the absence of carbohydrate and the presence of protein, but it will also give men a testosterone boost when they need it most, after an intense workout when testosterone levels are depressed. " [NATURAL HORMONAL ENHANCEMENT, by Rob Faigin (pp 242-43)] " Missing your post-workout meal - don't - in the wake of an intense weight training session will retard pre-recovery thereby postponing recovery, deepen the post-workout testosterone fall, and delay the testosterone rebound. The post-workout meal provides the nutritional raw materials needed by the body to turn the tide from catabolism to anabolism. By neglecting to eat soon after working out (ideally within 40 minutes), you are ensuring that you will remain mired in a catabolic state for longer than is necessary. Because an intense workout temporarily suppresses digestion, a protein shake is the most effective way to deliver nutrients to muscles immediately after training. This should be followed, 2-3 hours later, by a medium- sized meal. By employing this strategy, you can get two smaller feedings into the critical first three hours post-workout, rather than one large feeding; hence, higher protein absorption (which promotes a speedy transition from catabolism to anabolism) and more stable insulin levels (which maximizes post-workout fat burning).

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 Yeah, I'm loving it so far. I can't believe how much homework he's put into it. What price did you pay for it at eBay? I had to order it from the States into Canada, and it ended up costing me a pretty penny. Andy > I just bought the book on eBay and am up to chapter 8.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I just contacted the moderator this morning about the same thing. It's getting to be a problem for me----too many messages. I'm glad that I am not the only one---perhaps we'll get to the bottom of it soon. m. Question I am not receiving the daily digest of messages on my email. I know I have the settings correct because I'm getting daily digests from other Yahoo groups. Any ideas???To learn more about Raw Dairy, visit our home pages at http://www.midvalleyvu.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pannie is the apron that hangs down in the tummy area. ...Mine hangs over mypubic or mons area. The pannie...Panniculectomy(removal of panniculus) is also a surgery. It is a Tummy tuck(TT) without the muscle repair or just removal of the hanging skin or fat that makes up the apron. It is usually a hip to hip or inverted T(anchor, it is sometimes callled) incision that is usually covered by insurance because it is considered reconstructive. Oh, and before the questions come...I'm having a brachioplasty too, also known as batwings. It is the removal of the Batman type cape of hanging skin on the arms. My career as a crimefighter is gone before it starts....LOL. As I'm losing my cape.....LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a " panni " done is a surgical procedure (or panniculectomy) done to remove the excess skin after you lose weight. There are various amounts and excess that are removed. Dr K did my TT or panni and removed 8 lbs of skin from my panni or apron and I now have a very flat tummy that I am thrilled with. You can see different pics in our photo section of befores and afters. hth Sharon in Onyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi Amy! The panni is the part of the stomach that hangs below your mons. The surgical procedure to remove it is an abdominoplasty. If you want the area tightened and toned looking, you would add a tummy tuck. Tracey > Hi everyone!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 > Whoops! Was I wrong, Mel? Or is abdominoplasty just another word > for the panniculectomy? Tracey, usually an abdomenoplasty refers to muscle and skin work done together. The panni is just removal of excess skin. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is okay, if the patient is aware and consents to the panni and does not expect muscle work. Marta who looks up ICD9 codes, but not procedure codes!!!
