I found out about this too and was pretty horrified. Even organic milk ain't perfect.

Your safest bet is to buy the Straus Creamery stuff (delicious but a little pricey) or raw milk (super...

Don't forget that you can saute most vegetables. Just use a small amount of oil in a hot pan, and things will finish cooking in 30-60 seconds if it's spinach for example. Spinach tends to taste much...

More fat is not necessarily bad. Prime beef and kobe beef are rich in marbling, the inner flecks of fat that melt away during cooking. These are partially unsaturated fats, which is why they melt...

Slightly on topic here, but when you buy the fresh OJ, there's usually the kind with pulp and the type without it. Would the type with pulp hit you slower because the pulp slows things down?

Doesn't that assume that you eat the fat that renders out, as little as it is? I'd imagine that if you grill or even pan fry and drain, the fat content drops by half.

You could scrape it off, since it's mostly stuck on the surface. Washing it would wash all the beef flavor away, as well as forcing you to recook the steak, leaving it prone to turning well done. :(...

Amen. Part of bodybuilding is to aim for a healthier body, and this is not achieving the health part of things. You can be lean and cut, but it doesn't necessarily mean healthy since you are...

Yay, somebody else eats this stuff. Actually, I eat the corn flakes version of this. It's high in protein from the flaxseed, has very little sugar (and it's can sugar, not HFCS), and it's higher in...

Err, I forgot the other part, which you probably already know. When energy comes in a surge, the body usually can't process it all, so some of it gets stored as fat.

That's why whole grain foods...

Measures insulin response to foods. In other words, stuff with high GI will cause a major spike in blood sugar levels, followed by a low, which can cause you to be hungry, which is bad.

Low GI...

Brush with olive oil, and sprinkle on kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. I use this on steaks, whole chicken and patties. It's simple and brings out the natural flavors of the meat, particularly...

What kind of noodles are we talking about here? I'm more used to the authentic/original kind of Chinese food, and a lot of them are made out either white rice or similar stuff that makes them really...

It helps if your main meals have at least a little bit of quality carbs (whole grains) and some leafy, fibrous vegetables or fruit to along with it. It looks like you ingested an all protein meal...

I try to stick to 3 hours, but it can vary, give or take an hour.

It's OK, but there are many better deli meats to eat. If you can find Boar's Head brand at your local deli, that stuff tends to be healthier than the norm, which can contain nitrites and nitrates...

As the poster above has said, it has high sodium content due to the pickling process.

Corned beef comes from the brisket part of the cow, so it tends to be quite fatty, unless you buy the deli...

Some people were talking about seasoning. I like good old kosher salt and pepper on mine. I do the same for steaks too when I simply want the natural flavors to come forth.

It's a yummy snack for sure, but for me, variety is the spice of life. I try to vary my menu every day. It takes a lot more effort to plan and track, but I can't see myself sinking in to a consistent...

If the whole wheat bun is indeed 100% whole wheat (rather than merely "whole wheat"), I don't see what's wrong with this. I'd get bored of it if I had it every day though.

The only other hazard is...

Ketchup is good. It has lycopene, which is something you cannot get from raw tomatoes (without cooking them).

For a little extra flavor, adding healthy mayo (like canola mayo) would make it...
