When eating vitamin fortified cerial be sure to drink the milk, as many of the vitamins are absorbed by the milk.

Turns out black tea is good too

and tea may be 'healthier than water according to some'

I've been eating very clean lately. At the supermarket I feel My wife and I have done an excellent job (the only cheating exception being sometimes putting vanilla ice cream in our smoothies to make them creamier.

I've been preaching about this site to everyone, but
www.whfoods.com
is awesome. The a-z list is great and tells the benefits

This is a great thread guys.

I've always tried to eat healthy but there has always been two things really holding me back. 1. I eat too many darn tacos from Taco Bell. and 2. Dr. Pepper.

So recently I've decided to cut these things out. The reason I eat too many tacos is because I don't pack a lunch. So I've started doing that more. The reason I drink so much Dr. Pepper is probably just a full on addiction.

So this morning I ate some oatmeal with raisins, walnuts and cinnamon. I also had 1 egg and some orange juice.

Right now I'm at work and instead of getting a soda I'm gonna go get some tea. I've already got my water jug so I'm good in the hydration department.

For lunch I've got some left overs from dinner the other night. Baked chicken and some stuffing and a banana.

The real test will come at 3:00 this afternoon. We'll see what happens. Wish me luck.

For the caffeine addiction I used to drink coffee (with sugar and creme) every day, I only do that a couple days a week now due to switching to tea. Maybe things don't need to be completely removed, a bit of moderation is good. Scott

Well I haven't had a Dr. Pepper all day. I'm so pathetic. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about it.

Curse you Dr. Pepper for sinking your evil hooks into me!

They should make taco bell illegal. I manage a night club so when I get off work its about the only thing open and I pass at least 3 of them on the way home. Yep, I blew many diets by succumbing to taco bell addiction. Another thing you can try to quell cravings for soda is crystal light. It's sugar free and they even make it in little packets that you can dump right into your water bottle. If you cutting soda mainly because of the caffeine, you have to watch. Green and black tea both have caffeine. I don't know much about white tea, but most herbal teas are caffeine free.

Green tea is the way foward !

**bodhitree** · 10-07-2006, 06:45 AM

I personally love caffiene. I just want to avoid the sugar I put in coffee. caffiene is not as bad for your health (considering you don't drink excessive amounts every day)

I tried some "athletic performance gum" that my friend that works at gnc last night gave me, wow, it had some kick. (which is good because I was going from boxing practice to jiu jitsu practice and needed the energy).

**bodhitree** · 10-07-2006, 06:53 AM

Taco Bell is gosh darned tastey but for fast food I've been doing this at wendy's
cost: $3.50 (exactly)
1 side salad
2 baked potato
3 small chili

its good, cheap, and healthy. Taco Bell is awesome though

As far as green tea here are some KFM threads:

I don't know too much of complicated recipes;but we at home eat steamed
fish,porridge and tons of vegetable.Sticky rise is the norm.Nothing over the flame
with carbon chunks.At best,deep fried meat with vegetables cooked with extra
virgin olive oil.Dofu sometimes.Now with family at home because of the Moon
Festival I allowed myself some sweet mooncakes.
There is a green tea brand named Good Earth that is very good,though I am
trying some jazmine tea from Fujian.

I used to have a Laotian room mate that always kept a basket of sticky rice on the table at all times. I love that stuff, especially with some soy sauce and pepper oil

. **********I don't avoid caffeine either. I have it before I train (coffee, sugar free no fear or diet turbo tea) and I'll have some later on at work to get me through the night. Avoiding excess in regards to many things is key.

**bodhitree** · 10-08-2006, 12:37 PM

I love sugar free no fear

www.sobenofear.com

Its good stuff. I can't wait, after my fight I will drink coffe with sugar

**franco1688** · 10-08-2006, 07:20 PM

Like I said I'll be there at the tournament. I don't know how many people you have going with you, but regardless my wife and I will be your cheering section. Good luck. By the way, how's your training going?

**bodhitree** · 10-09-2006, 05:25 PM

It's going great! I feel healthy, the past few days in sparrin I haven't made many BIG mistakes, I've been landing stuff. I feel really good. I'll be wearing basketball shorts, I'm white 6 foot 165lbs, blue eyes, kinda long hair (for a fighter at least), hopefully you can pick me out. the only people going with me are my 2 corner men and maybe one other friend.
