@rudebwoy,
word on the street is that you're a very fit jacked guy in his late 40s. How do you maintain such a physique without much meat. What does your diet look like?
@kosko
thank you for that post. I laugh at modern western urban dwellers fetishizing hunting with paintings of jacked, bearded men hunting mammoths on their Twitter feeds.
The fact is that until the advent of firearms, most "hunting" actually involved setting up traps. Not as sexy. Meat has always been supplemental in the human diet and like you said, I'd like to see how many of these strict carnivore badasses will fare if they had to wake up every morning trying to take down an animal that is likely bigger, stronger, faster, more aggressive and has a better sense of smell & hearing.
As for diets, no one knows anything. Only diet I adhere to is avoidance of processed food and seed oils.
I have been in the gym for 20 years and built up a good base. When you reach my age it is all about keeping trim and most important the belly down.
At least 3-4 days a week I have meatless day. A big lunch with all the hippy food like quinoa, couscous, lentils, beets, kale, chickpeas etc. Greens and veggies help me have glorious shits, it is common for me to go twice a day.
Greens and veggies are good for the dick, that alone does it for me.
At night, I will eat a lot of peanuts in the shell.
My weakness is that I have a big sweet tooth, if I could cut that out then I probably would have a 6 pack instead of a 4.
Meat is hard on your system, your body has to work hard to break it down. It stays in your system for up to 3 weeks, it also creates mucus in your body.
I don't touch dairy, maybe once in awhile I do some egg whites. My body is sensitive towards dairy and I am lactose intolerant.
I eat chicken and fish once a week, like others have stated I pay extra for the organic grass fed stuff.
Steel cut oats for breakfast/lunch.
