Yeah it does seems okay, and easy in the sense that you just use the same amount as you would normally use for sugar. Personally I prefer stevia as the one I use is organic ~ I had trouble finding an organic xylitol but I'm sure they're out somewhere ?!

RECENT RUNS: WED 8th JULY: 8.1km SUN 12th JULY: 7.1km Yesterday (Sunday) was a great day. Braved the cold and went out and ran in the morning for 35mins, temperature was -3° and extremely icy! Then around lunch time I took the girls and our dog out exploring; we covered another 5km climbing mountain ledges, crossing gorges and generally having fun

Vegan post workout drink/snack - no soy?
Mini Forklift replied to leif3141's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Ditto IMO I wouldn't get too hung up on soy, there seems to be some xenoestrogenic activity but from what I have read this seems to be extremely minimal. Certainly appears not enough to have any effect on hormone levels within the body anyhow so if you're eating it in moderation I believe it poses no risk. -
Hey James, great to have you on here! Another person from the Southern Hemisphere FWIW I wouldn't get too hung up on soy, there seems to be some xenoestrogenic activity but from what I have read this seems to be extremely minimal. Certainly appears not enough to have any effect on hormone levels within the body anyhow so if you're eating it in moderation I believe it poses no risk. What sort of foods/meals are you currently eating? Look forward to seeing you around the forum soon MF.

Nice ~ that's great to hear -
What supplements do you guys take?
Mini Forklift replied to HempHeartOfaChamp's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Solgar Omnium ~ pretty much the best multi out there in terms of quality, efficacy etc Omega 3 ~ sourced from microalgae oil B12 Magnesium ~ I take this at night Probiotic ~ I also take this at night Protein powder ~ I bounce between yellow pea protein / brown rice & pea -
Supplement help please!
Mini Forklift replied to Sspipe777's topic in Bodybuilding/Strength Training
Hey, welcome to the forum !! Are you a guy or girl? I'm assuming you are weight training to some degree? IMHO I would just start by increasing your calories, once your strength and bodyweight start to increase you could possibly look at using a few things then. Right now food is definitely going to give you better results than powders, drinks, tablets etc. Having said that, with regards to protein powder there are a number of companies out there now that are making vegan/non-dairy protein powders that are naturally flavoured and sweetened ~ shouldn't be too hard to find. Good luck! -
Vegan post workout drink/snack - no soy?
Mini Forklift replied to leif3141's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
Post workout I just tend to either eat food of some sort, quite often it's muesli & fruit as it's lighter and easier for me to digest If I want more of a shake I just use a vegetable based protein mixed with rice, almond, oat or coconut milk. Whatever sort I have in my fridge at the time haha -
Hi Soffee, welcome to the forum. Great to have you on here, pretty much everything you need is here at your fingertips. I'd highly recommend you think about starting up a training journal especially if you are doing a show this November; you would get plenty of useful feedback and motivation to see you through the coming months. So many food items that are great to eat on a regular basis, some of my favourites would be things like... Lentils Beans Chickpeas Quinoa Rice Sushi Pasta Fruit & veges (I don't restrict these and the more colourful the better) Avocado Nuts/trail mix Tempeh Burrito's, wraps etc Milk variations (rice, oat, soy, coconut etc) Heaps more but there's a few to get the ball rolling
