The only good grain of rice is the one that's on my plate. Ditto with baked potatoes. I'll eat 'em all and not think twice.

This is probably why my friends never have dinner at my place. I only serve stuff like brown rice, chicken breasts, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and oatmeal pancakes.
Their loss. It's all delicious.

Sticky white rice owns all rice.
I'm coming over for dinner. I'll choke down the inferior brown rice with you.

fuck yes...
i used to buy that shitty ass long grain white rice from wegmans...
but if you go into their asian section you can buy sticky rice or the sushi rice (Nishiki brand) which is a short/medium grain rice.
Makes beautiful white rice that is sticky.
Wegmans has so many white rice variants that if you don't pay attention, you can definitely be led astray.
Glad you got it figured out though!
Testifyyyyy! Also results > comfort. I will squat my dick off before I ever leg press a single rep or do an ab isolation exercise.

Any rice is good as long as it is not sweet and dry like sweet pootatoes
In the Chinese culture, sticky rice is a staple in our life. Apparently, it's also very effective against those hopping vampires.
I'd love to know what you are doing wrong to have dry sweet potatoes. They are far more moist than the white variety.
Even microwavable sweet potatoes aren't dry.

rolled some sweet potatoes in a bowl of dust
Careful, the diet police will jump on you for buying pre-packaged sweet potatoes. If you aren't hand selecting yours from some farmstand in the middle of nowhere, and aren't roasting the potatoes yourself in an oven you're doing it wrong and your diet will be disqualified.
=)
This is the truth. Like, are you dehydrating them then complaining about dryness?
This is also possible.
Ok...I will hand pick my sweet potatoes and wrap it in plastic wrap and microwave it.
If I want a sweet potato now, I AINT SPENDING THE TIME BAKING OR ROASTING IT.

Basmati motherfucker, the king of rice.
BRING IT.
On the subject of white potatoes, to be honest most people have never tried good potatoes simply because they're not sold in 99.9% of shops. I grow my own in large grow bags and some of the ones I've tried have been full on mouthgasms. I even managed to impress an Irish woman who said one sort was the best she'd ever tried.

Yeah but white potatoes can be dry because they are not sweet. Sweet potatoe is like eating dry mango.

??? When I bake my sweet potatoes they pretty much are so moist that they melt in my mouth when I eat them. It's almost the consistency of sweet potato pie and tastes the same too, minus the added sweetness.
What is going on in here brahs, what's with all the carb talk, I've never!
This is amazing news (other then the muscle loss). Very happy for you. I've also been able to feel bones for the first time in my life in my hips. It's incredible.
You want to carb up for your bday, do it. I never deprive myself of anything. If I feel like eating something, I go and eat it then I'm back on keto. Doing this really makes life a lot easier and I honestly never crave anything anymore. Also, if you want to make a low carb cake, this is my go to recipe here:
http://healthylivinghowto.com/1/post/2013/05/healthy-recipe-double-mocha-cake.html
I make it without the frosting as one big cake. It is incredible.

I'm going to get my missus to bake that (she's an expert at that sort of thing, I'm more a general cook)... I will report back!

Sup Fit-GAF! After posting that I'd started working out again in that thread about beefcake-Bieber, I was told I should join you guys in my effort, so here I am! Guess it can be motivational to sub to the thread.
22 yo, 6ft/145lbs twig that finally pulled myself together after not moving an inch in like 3 years aside from occasionally running to catch a train. Asked in this thread a few days ago about kettlebell-routines, but never got an answer so instead I found this:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLATydd-cwJUWRPLbrq2Xhh7egmXXdUYa-
I've done the first one twice now, I think I'm gonna stick with it for a while to work in techniques etc.
I intend to document in terms of how many rounds + parts of a round I manage, today I reached 3.1 in the 20 minutes, with the goal of increasing by at least 1 exercise per session. I really like the format, getting a decent workout in 30-40 minutes including warm-up and stretching is perfect to me. 3 times a week seems like a good starting point, but honestly I'll try and do it every other day if I can find time and feel fresh again.

Welcome to FitGAF. I don't think many of us use kettleballs, so it's not that we're ignoring you outright, but we just don't have much to contribute in that regard. I hope the routine works out well for you and wish you good luck. If I'm understanding you right, you're going as fast as you can to try and get more sets done per your 20 minute time limit. Are you actually making each rep faster and faster to do this, or just taking shorter rests between sets?
Yeah, that's the idea. I think the later routines are longer though, and 2x15 or something. At the moment I need quite a bit of rest towards the end of the set, especially with the push-ups (I can't even do the full x10 in one go come the second and third round) so the primary progress will be to it with as little rest as possible I guess. But it's not like I'm rushing through it to get as many done as possible.
Another step will be to use my heavier kettlebell exclusively, at the moment I'm using one that's half it's weight (13lbs/26lbs) for the one-handed exercises.
My friend and I would occasionally do some kettle bell exercises to end out our workouts. Primarily arm swings and snatches. We would often just do sets of 20-25 until our bodies failed us. Great stamina booster.
Unfortunately he started training for running marathons, so he doesn't lift as much. So now I am lone wolfing it. New guy started at my office a week back who I knew used to work at the rec center at the college I went to. And he is massive. Maybe he is looking for a swoll bro.

Really enjoyed this. Only thing I'd say is not to use as much salt as the recipe suggests (unless you're used to eating a lot, which I doubt most of us here do).
Delicious.

I'm thinking about getting turkey sausages for another source of protein. Is there any specifics i should look for? Around how many grams of fat should i look for in them? What would be too much?
Psychotext

Would be surprised if there was much more than 10% fat in any turkey sausage. I wouldn't get hung up about that sort of thing anyway.
If you're craving sausage, have pork sausage, but less of it, or save it for a cheat day. Personally I hate to see someone settle for a weird version of something. Take turkey bacon for example. Its highly processed. Anyone who can trick themselves into thinking they enjoy turkey bacon is either a liar or has a few screws loose.

I actually do enjoy turkey bacon. As for the turkey sausage i wanted something else since i am bored of chicken breast. Something i can eat practically everyday though. Is that not a good idea then? I usually see it recommended.
Got denied out of the uni gym today, apparently I showed up too late for the classes, as they close the gates 20 min after the classes start (I learned this today).
It would have been ok if it hadn't been 10:19 according to my phone and 10:17 according to their clock. And even then I wouldn't have been the last one out of gym. I may have gotten in if I had thrown a fit but I decided against. The shitty thing is that I won't go to gym on friday either (important gig, I don't want my muscles to act against me) and I have missed a few fays in the past weeks as well.
I haven't done squats in weeks as my left hip gets painful when I get down, I hope I can get it sorted out soon. Been still doing deadlifts though.
Since Im completely oblivious to most lifts, are barbell shrugs a rotary movement or a simple up-down with your shoulders? I don't do them, but I've seen people do and am just wondering what is the correct technique.

It's fine. Most people don't really like it though.
I quite like using turkey mince in my chilli, a lot of people would spit in your face if you fed them that.
I had alligator steak recently. I was surprised at how much I liked it.

I got you...
Knew you'd reply to this. The crap I eat is "in a pinch", this is something he wants to eat regularly. So nyah nyah!
jk
Turkey bacon sucks. Turkey sausage I enjoy regularly on its own, whereas real sausage I need to have on a biscuit or as part of something I try not to eat regularly.

Co worker just came in with these to share: http://www.peaceloveandlittledonuts.com/
I just smashed a couple. No regrets, was amazing.
Had a Bacon Maple (with actual bacon on it) and one with cinnamon toast crunch on it.

if the turkey sausage is fresh made, i have no issue with it...and they'll probably be stuffing that with with pork fat anyways.
it's kind of the store bought stuff that has the consistency of a hotdog i wouldn't really eat regularly.
a local store here actually makes some great chicken sausage from scratch.
speaking of bacon...this has been a goto dish for me lately...
sauteed kale with onion, garlic, and bacon
