Whole30 Reintroduction
The Whole30 website reads as follows on the reintroduction phase: Days 1–30: Original Whole30 elimination Day 31 (optional): Reintroduce added sugar all by itself Days 32–33: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 34: Reintroduce legumes all by itself Days 35–36: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 37: Reintroduce non-gluten grains all by themselves Days 38–39: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 40: Reintroduce dairy all by itself Days 41–42: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 43: Reintroduce gluten-grains all by themselves Day 44–45: Back to Whole30 elimination Day 46 (optional): Reintroduce alcohol all by itself Day 47–48: Back to Whole30 elimination You can break this schedule down ever further if you like: splitting out artificial sweeteners from more natural sugars, reintroducing corn separately from other non-gluten grains, or reintroducing gluten-free alcohol separately from gluten-containing beer. The more carefully and patiently you reintroduce, the more you’ll learn from your experience. Just remember to return to the Whole30 elimination phase for 2-3 days between each Reintroduction food group. And if at any point you feel like you haven’t adequately recovered from the effects of the reintroduced foods, give yourself a few more days of Whole30 elimination before you bring in another.
Whole 30
We have been following the Whole30 diet recently and have lost a lot of weight, gained back energy and are having less issues in general. It is mostly what I try to follow anyway, eating non-processed foods and limiting sugar. But this goes further. The Whole30 diet is a month-long elimination diet designed to promote health and well-being. Here’s how it works: Change the food you put on your plate. Purpose: The premise of the Whole30 program is that certain common foods in Western diets—such as sugar, alcohol, grains, dairy, legumes, and specific food additives—can be harmful to overall health, energy levels, and well-being. The goal is to eliminate these potentially problematic foods for a month to allow the body to heal and repair itself. What You Can Eat: Allowed Foods: During the Whole30 plan, you focus on eating whole, unprocessed foods, including: Animal protein Vegetables Fruits Nuts Healthy fats Herbs, spices, and seasonings Avoided Foods: You must avoid the following: Grains Legumes Dairy Added sugar Artificial sugar Alcohol Certain additives Rules: Strict Guidelines: The rules are simple but strict: Eat moderate portions of meat, seafood, and eggs. Consume lots of vegetables and fruits. Include plenty of natural fats. Choose foods with few, pronounceable ingredients or no ingredients because they’re whole and unprocessed. Avoid the restricted foods completely for 30 days. Reintroduction Phase: After the initial 30 days, the off-limits foods are slowly reintroduced one at a time to observe if any trigger adverse reactions. Good Food Standards: Foods allowed on the Whole30 plan must meet the diet’s four “Good Food” standards: Promote a healthy psychological response Promote a healthy hormonal response Support a healthy gut Support immune functions and minimize inflammation Remember that the Whole30 diet is not just about weight loss; it’s
Stick and Balling a Green Horse
https://www.gavsayspoloacademy.com/blog/stick-balling-a-nappy-horse Stick & Balling A Nappy Horse Transcription Hi guys, Gav again. I've been giving quite a lot of polo lessons lately to people that are bringing on young horses and also beginners that are getting themselves into polo. And I see them making the same mistake with their horse so often, because remember this, that a horse is a herd animal. It wants to go back to the pony lines. It wants to go back to the stables. So you see these beginners making mistakes because they don't get into the horses head. And what do I mean by that? Get into the horses head. They don't think like the horse. You've got to think like a horse to be able to overcome those problems. And the horse is telling you something all the time if you learn to interpret it's body language and what is telling you. But the number one issue I'm seeing is the nappyness - the natural urge the horse has to want to go back to the horse lines or the stables. So what people are doing and the mistakes they're making are for example, the horses on the left, okay. And they are going and playing on the off side - now as they play the shot, the horse veers off and runs away from the ball. Why not? Because it's scared of the ball. A lot of them aren't, they just want to go back to the horse lines, but you're interpreting that as it's being scared of the ball. But if you turn round and actually canter the other way and put the ball between the horse lines or stables and the horse, suddenly you find
Brodo Broth
Brodo broth has become the latest diet and cleanse, for $9 a cup, you can swagger down the street with your hipsters holding your cup of broth. Or, make your own using his Brodo book with the recipes below, like we do, and save yourself a lot of money for a little investment of time and get the same great benefits. The Brodo website states the following: Bone Broth Benefits A well-made broth like Brodo offers all the benefits of meat without the bulk. Protein-Packed Bone broth is loaded with proteins that your body can rapidly absorb. In liquid form, these proteins are broken down into valuable amino acids like proline, glycine, glutamine, and arginine. Your body needs these important building blocks for healthy skin, bones and joints. Brodo bone broth is a low carb, low calorie, zero-sugar food. Our broth is a great meal replacement—it has more protein and fewer carbs than green juice, and is less likely to cause blood-sugar levels to spike. Gut Healer Brodo is one of the best things you can consume to maintain a healthy gut, which is essential to overall wellness. The gelatin in Brodo contains glutamine, which effectively plugs the holes in the lining of the digestive tract like spackle on a pitted wall. The gelatin in bone broth also helps during digestion, making it easier to break down food and absorb nutrients. Beauty Booster Healthy hair, skin & nails require collagen—a crucial protein found in the tendons & ligaments of beef and poultry. When you cook down bones for broth, that collagen breaks down into gelatin (which is easier for the body to digest). Detox Aid Brodo is a natural detox aid. The glycine in our
Allocated Bourbon
Our friend, Nate, taught us about allocated bourbon this weekend, which refers to specific brands or batches of bourbon whiskey that are in high demand and have limited availability. Esteemed distilleries typically produce these sought-after bourbons, capturing the attention of whiskey enthusiasts and collectors alike. Allocated whiskey is available in very limited quantities. This list includes Bourbon, Rye, Single Barrel and Single Malt. The term "allocated" implies that the distribution of these bourbons is restricted, often limited to select markets or specific channels. These bourbons are usually released periodically, with limited quantities allocated to various retailers or distributors. Due to their scarcity, finding them can be challenging, prompting enthusiasts to join waiting lists or participate in lotteries for a chance to purchase a coveted bottle. Examples of allocated bourbons include renowned brands such as Pappy Van Winkle, Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch, Heaven Hill Parker’s Heritage Collection, and Blantons. These bourbons receive critical acclaim for their exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and distinctive flavor profiles. It's worth noting that the availability and allocation of bourbons can vary yearly, with different regions having distinct allocations. Therefore, checking with local retailers or whiskey specialty stores is advisable to inquire about specifically allocated bourbons and their availability. So, why do distilleries allocate their bourbon? 1. **Exclusivity and Demand:** Limited availability creates a sense of exclusivity, making allocated bourbons highly coveted among whiskey enthusiasts. 2. **Limited Supply:** Some bourbons are produced in limited quantities due to age requirements, production capacity, or ingredient availability. Distilleries allocate them to ensure fair distribution when demand exceeds supply. 3. **Quality Control:** Allocating bourbons helps distilleries maintain quality control by managing distribution and monitoring storage conditions, minimizing the risk of improper
Dinner with David Chang
Meals, mishaps and culinary secrets unfold as chef David Chang throws down in the kitchen for celebrity guests on Netflix. We're fans, here are some of his recipes which look interesting: Recipes From David Chang's Cooking Show 'Dinner Time Live' - Netflix Tudum David Chang’s Pea and Mint Soup If fresh peas are in season — a very small window in the spring — go with those. If not, frozen peas are more than adequate as a substitute. For the mint, use whatever cool, fancy fresh mint you can find. Except peppermint. Peppermint is too strong. For the show, we used chocolate mint leaves from the farmer’s market. Pea and mint soup recipe: David Chang’s Truffled Egg Toast This dish is inspired by the signature dish at ’Inoteca, one of my favorite restaurants in New York. At the restaurant, they used truffle oil, but for the show I used truffle butter from Regalis. It’s not complicated, but takes some doing (and some shopping) to execute. I start by taking thick slices of white bread (we used milk bread from a local Japanese market), and used a spoon to press a little nest for the eggs into the center of each slice. Lay the bread slices on a sheet tray, then slather with truffle butter and top with grated fontina cheese. Slip an egg yolk into the center of each slice of toast, then slide the sheet tray into the oven. In a separate pan, I sauteed sliced asparagus in olive oil, with a little salt and pepper. Once the cheese is melted (and the egg yolk is warm but not cooked through) pull the toast out of the oven. Transfer the toast to plates and
Thunderbird
Symbolism in Native Art: Thunderbird and Ko'lus The Native Thunderbird Symbol holds significant meaning, representing power, protection, and strength. Regarded as the most potent of all spirits, the Thunderbird can transform into human form, symbolized by opening its head like a mask and shedding feathers like a blanket. Lightning snakes under its wings serve as both tools and weapons. The Thunderbird, a mythical creature, exerts dominance over natural forces in the Pacific Northwestern Mountains. It creates thunder by wing flapping and shoots lightning from its eyes to ward off hunters. Rainstorms produced by the Thunderbird nourish the earth, enabling vegetation growth. With a wingspan as large as two canoes, it can carry a killer whale with its talons. Only powerful chiefs and families incorporate the Thunderbird into their crests, distinguished by curved horns on its head. In times of food shortage, Northwest Coast people sought the Thunderbird's help, leading to an agreement that it would only be depicted atop totem poles with outstretched wings. The legend recounts the Thunderbird's transformation into a human to rescue the Great Chief during a great flood. After finding survivors, the Thunderbird initiated the Thunderbird dance, a tradition passed down through generations. The Ko'lus, a young Thunderbird, akin to a sibling of Thunderbird, has a thick coat of white down, making it heat-prone. Similar to its elder counterpart, the Ko'lus can transform into a human when overheated by shedding its down. Revered as a protector spirit, the Ko'lus is often associated with tribal or clan origins, as it descended from heaven, shedding its coat to become a human founding ancestor.
Mustangs Rule
From https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/advice/camaro-vs-mustang-vs-challenger?slide=12 The Ford Mustang is our overall winner for its performance in key areas such as safety, handling and interior quality. It nails a good mix of performance, comfort and space, which makes it a great everyday sports car. The Dodge Challenger managed to win in several categories as well, but its large size and dated interior held it back from true greatness here. Of course, none of this is to say that the Chevrolet Camaro is a bad car. It's a good sports car, but it just couldn't keep pace with its two closest rivals in key categories.
