Get Mara natha almond butter...shit is awesome.

hate the taste of almond butter.....i know its better for me.....but pb is soooo good

The version with added SD is best

I've been using Humapro for quite a while, and it's better than whey for some purposes. Basically you can take it with MCT oil or carbs and I don't get any of the bloat that I tend to get from whey. Although there was bad press re Alri products and contamination, I would guess that they're being 'watched' and don't want to make any 'mistakes' again. Their carb product is especially good imo; it's made from rice and digests quickly and easily and I find it better than Vitargo, and it has very little sugar.

I would think Humapro would be quite a good product for you, as being vegetarian you have less complete protein sources so it would give you another option.

Humapro (EAAs), Chain'd out (BCAAs), and Chain'd reaction (carbs) have become staples for me, and I find I am using less and less whey and probably will stop using it altogether. I still eat lot's of Salmon, eggs, tuna, steak, etc.

just grabbed 2 tubs, shit is hard to find, and anyone who has it want alot for shipping

reading more n more, thought give it a try....oddly its very popular on tnation among some of the more 'advanced' members, but loathed by the bb.com crowd (alri isnt carried there anymore also)

ill use it am, pre/post....see what happens after a month

Rodja, by your explanation of fat gain, wouldn't we all also get fat on pretty much every food that is grown? Vegetables are of lesser quality because of gm, malnutritioned soil, and pesticides.

Depends on what is primarily consumed as not all plants have the same prevalence of GE and the gluten amount. Gluten itself is inherently inflammatory (PMID: 20514534) and that can lead to fat retention from chronic increases in cortisol. The produce quality is also going to depend on the area in which you live and the seasons. We don't eat seasonally anymore and the means that growers now take to have, for example, year-round tomatoes is somewhat extreme. They're more of a pseudo-tomato that is ripened with ethylene gas and rushed to the market.

My biggest issue with the USDA is the fight that they've been putting up in an effort to counter the labeling of GMO foods.

My theory has to do with the "dirtiness" of both wheat and peanuts. This is mainly due to genetic engineering of the plants and one of the consequences is that it sends the body into a state of stress/inflammation and, ergo, makes it hold more fat.

Man I love me some PB but when I'm not eating it I usually seem to hold less water or lean out.
What's the best type of nut butter to eat??

That's what I figured.
Good thing I like that stuff too, but its just a good bit more expensive.
The last 3 72oz jars of PB that i already have will be my last.

It's best on a empty stomach, or at least two and a half hours after eating complete protein. You also need to wait 20-30 minutes before eating protein after using Humapro. As well as pre and post workout, it works well with a little coconut milk before bed, and I often use it with 5gms MCTs first thing in the morning.

Well I just figured out what I'll be using some of my last bit of PB on and it'll be for some PB cookies. Lol
Can't wait to get of the the specialist office.
