Is your food: poor, good, or excellent?

I found an app to help you eat better.

It grades your food & tells you why…

Bruh, go to App Store, type: Yuka.

[lisa 🌸 @brainergybylisa]

I just realized..

Our society eats so much junkfood..
..that eating clean is considered a diet.

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

Steroids, steroids, steroids.

I bet 80+% of fitness influencers are on steroids.

I’m not jealous.

I’m upset.

These roid dudes are selling pipe dreams to normal dudes.

How can I tell they use steroids?

Their chest.

Gynecomastia bro…

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

@cougarhoover Love me som phonk, dirty sound, and doom metal.

I just recently took about 6 months off from headphones. My social interactions went up and overall o didn’t notice a big difference in training.

To get the extra dopamine I added 1-2 extra cups of coffee per day. 😆

@CephasIsaacOgu I eat bread sometimes too. Mostly after exercise and workouts. ;)

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

Bread is sugar bruh…

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

Everyone likes bread. Here’s why:

Bread contains opioid-like compounds that can bind to opioid receptors in the gut and brain, causing mental derangement if they make it to the brain[1].

Gluten exorphins, which are derived from gluten, also bind to opioid receptors, probably outside the brain[2].

In fact, opioid receptors are widely distributed throughout the body, including the gut, lungs, genitals, and other peripheral tissues[3][6].

These receptors can recognize peptides derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of food proteins, including bread and other foods[3].

Eating bread can stimulate opioid receptors and make a person feel good, leading to addiction[4].

The effects of food-derived opioid peptides are diverse and can span the gut, brain, and internal organs[5].

In summary, bread and other foods can contain opioid-like compounds that can bind to opioid receptors in the gut and brain, leading to various effects on the body and mind.

Went with a hike with my mom, sister, and new nephew today in Boston.

I’m obsessed with getting outside to exercise, hike, bike, & move.

My first word when I was a kid: out!

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

Most people in the gym look grim.

We get it, you’re focused.

You can smile & say hi too.

Use the gym as me time &
smile at one person before leaving the gym. 🤜🤛

@CephasIsaacOgu Yessir, chicken, avocado, hummus, apple, cooked in a lot of olive oil.

I only cook with olive oil.

So on not strength training days I try to eat higher fat and lower carbs to enhance fat burn. 🤜🤛

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

How I try to eat on non-strength training days.

The key is to train your body to burn fat by eating less carbs when not strength training.

You have 1500 cals stored in muscles/liver.

You have 70,000 cals stored as fat on your bod.

How you eat trains your body to burn fat…

[CoachRasley @MichaelRasley]

@ZoldenGames Yes sir, one need different things day-to-day based on what you do & what works for you.

I’m all about eating a small amount of fruit per day, for the pre-biotic fiber benefits (i.e. pectin in apples, inulin in bananas) to boost serotonin (must add fermented foods too). 🤜🤛
