[wrestlintitan]

Everyones been seeing the crazy shit Luke ate on TUF 2... and i guess it works.

Anyone have info on the diet, recipies or places i can find shit like that ???

It's not crazy, it's intelligent. He avoids high GI carbs and refined sugars. If it comes in a package, he doesn't eat it. He chooses a the most minimally processed food choices as the basis of his diet. Many people eat like he does. I'm surprised more UFC fighters don't have the sort of discipline and strigency with their diet.

Oooh, and avoid sugary condiments. BBQ sauce has the nutritional value of Skittles.

can we maybe get a list of low gi fruits?

 

[j-r00]

Low GI Fruits:

All fresh and dried deciduous fruit i.e. apricots, fresh cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, pears and apples, as well as all berries e.g. strawberries, mulberries, etc.

All citrus fruit i.e. lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, naartjies, and unsweetened citrus peel (The more tart/sharp/acid the fruit, the lower the GI)

Kiwi and grapes


Intermediate GI and High GI fruits include melons and tropical fruits (bananas, pineapples, mangos, etc..)

You take the fun out of eating fruits. I refuse to give up my Bananas, Mangos and Cantelope! Now I'm just going to feel bad about eating them.

The McDonalds Fruit Salad has walnuts, apples, grapes, and a little bit of yogurt. Does that meet all the recommendations above? Of course it is packaged too, but I can't imagine it is worse than what's in the supermarket.

dang, so no peanuts? i've been eating bananas+natural peanut butter a lot... so what's the deal with peanuts, high gi?

 

[Justin Pressley]

Keep eating peanuts they r good for you, just dont eat tons.

Why are you eating at McDonald's?

$$$
Peanuts are way cheaper than Cashews or other nuts.Thats the only reason as far as I know. I prefer cashews, walnuts, brazil nuts, etc.

 

[Jimmy Cerra]

Why are you eating at McDonald's?

Because I can hardly afford (time or money wise) a healthier place to eat in my area.

It's called the grocery store. For about the price of 1 McDonald's salad you can get enough ingredients to keep you in your own salad for a week.

Doh! Good idea. Although the local grocery store is pretty far away (being in the city sucks), I'll try it and report back. In any case, is that salad of apples, grapes, walnuts, and yogurt good according to zdrax's post?

FUck, i love banana, mango, and pineapple. DAMNIT

 

[the headhunter]

what the... i meant peanuts<other nuts.... my mistake

 

[SlappyMacGee]

A peanut isn't actually a nut. It is a legume. My guess is that it has a higher glycemic index then nuts.

Most of the low gi diets still encourage you to eat higher gi fruits also because the vitamins, fiber, and low caloric density make up for the gi.
