This is the best thing I did in a long time!

I want you to read this statement to digest and absorb. Then I want to hurry your ass little in the kitchen and make it. Then he proceeds to devour every crumb butter licking the plate. Or if you control yourself dude can not save them, eating one a day and enjoy the culinary delights. Either way, I will not judge. I refuse to say what I focus. :: Wink::

I tagged this recipe in my team always had. Whenever I have all these ingredients on hand, but for one reason or another, never. The other day I thought it was "I'm serious for a pop tart!" but had none. On top of that, but they are "good" for you, I decided to try to get a hand on mine. This recipe was easy to make and delicious, I had a long, long time. The dough is flaky, butter (it's a whole floor of them, you should!), And full of flavor. The filling is sweet and has a nice texture, thanks to the oatmeal. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I will say that the more healthy in the sense that they are whole grains, oats, not difficult to read the ingredients are made, etc, I would not classify as a healthy diet. There are a lot of sugar and butter … Well, it's so good and worthwhile. Mine came a bit of space instead of rectangular, but everyone can come and go, only the recipe for you?

Here is some more food for thought! You might be familiar with H.I.T. – High Intensity Training. This is the all-out, one set training approach that was popularized in the 1970’s by Arthur Jones – the inventor of the Nautilus machines. Although most people think that Jones invented HIT style workouts, that is really not the case. Actually, one-set per exercise training was the standard before and during the early years of the pre-roid, Golden Age of the 1940s and 50s!
In the early Golden Age (early 1940s), set series training (doing multiple sets per exercise) was even considered a specialized form of training for advanced trainers! But by the mid-1940s, set training became more standard and set series training was introduced for intermediate trainers.
However, all throughout the Golden Age, it was the rule that ALL beginners would train for up to 6 months on one set per exercise (using full body workouts, 3 times per week)! Nearly all the CPB Champs of that era had a strong foundation in HIT training as beginners! This really helped them get started on the right foot in terms of building a classic physique quickly and is very different from today, where beginners start with set training and split routines right off the bat, never do one-set, full body training, and quickly start over-working causing all gains to cease after some initial beginner’s results.
You can see for yourself the one-set training in the York muscle building courses, Weider’s Muscle Building Courses of the Champions, and even in Steve Reeves’ training when he first began! Again, this type of training was pretty universal for beginners in the Golden Age.
What were the benefits of such training? A lot! It produced very good gains for beginners, prevented overworking, taught them how to use the principle of progressive resistance properly, allowed them to use heavier weights which promoted better growth, didn’t overtax the nervous system, and ramped up the body’s muscle recovery abilities.
Because of this type of training, the Golden Agers, as intermediate and advanced trainers, were able to get much more out of fewer sets than most people do today. Steve Reeves once said that if you can’t completely stimulate a muscle in 3 sets per exercise, then you are doing something wrong! And, in his own muscle building course system (see his book Dynamic Muscle Building), Steve had beginners train on one set per exercise for 6 months (the Golden Age standard)!
Now, Joe Weider, in his 1954 and later versions of his “Muscle Building Courses of the Champions” updated his beginners course and introduced set series training earlier. But he still had beginners train for 3 months on 1 set per exercise. But prior to that (prior to 1954), he had beginners train for 6 months on 1 set per exercise (Golden Age HIT training).
It was in the later half of the 1950s, that Weider introduced high volume training – but this was for advanced trainers – not for beginners. And by that time, all the great physiques had already been produced (like those of Grimek, Ross, Stephan, Reeves, Eiferman, Delinger, etc), so it is not clear that high volume training really added anything at all to the building of classic physiques. Now Joe was always looking for a marketing angle in order to be “new and different” from his competition. So he may have promoted high volume training as a marketing ploy (to be “different” and appear “cutting edge”) – not because it really provided anything of real value.
Now, you might ask “This is fine, but I’ve been training for a while. I’m not a beginner and I’ve never done one-set training. Is it too late for me to benefit from this kind of training?” I would say “no!” You can still benefit!
Most people you see in the gym today are overtraining their muscles and getting nowhere fast! How many times have you seen some guy in the gym, week and week, pounding out set after set, using the same weights, and still looking the same? No real gains to speak of. You see this quite often.
If this describes your training, then try this. Take a one to two week layoff. Then come back, select 6-8 compound exercises covering the major muscle groups of the entire body (e.g., bench press, bent over rows, military press, barbell curls, squats, calf raises). Do one set per exercise. Go all out and use all the weight you can handle for 6-8 reps! When you can do 8 complete reps (and fail on the 9th rep), then increase your weight at the next workout and work up to 8 reps again. Keep pushing the weights up in this manner. Do this workout 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Eat and rest properly and see what happens! Chances are good, you will surprise yourself and see some unexpected results and improved muscle recovery ability!
After 6 weeks, take a one week layoff and then resume the same program! Keep this pattern until you see no more results. Then take a week layoff and after do the same routine using 2 sets for each exercise instead of 1 for another 6 weeks. Doing this will definitely teach you how to get the most out of each set. Then, one day, as an advanced trainer, like Steve Reeves, you will know how to stimulate a muscle using 3 sets per exercise (with no more than 3 exercises per body part). But don’t jump to advanced training routines before you are ready – if you do, they won’t work for you. Lay a good, solid foundation of Golden Age HIT training and then proceed from there!

Pizza, which must not be love? Salsa, cheese, crusty bread … all good. Top it off with some tasty ingredients and you're on a roll. I home pizza dough before and loved it. The recipe is very classical and is as good as the quality of the restaurant. However, I wanted a healthier batter, an attempt to integrate whole-grain bread agreement and a new prescription. This came together quickly and easily. If you have never before mass and should be intimidated, it's a great place to start. I decided to do so in six individual crusts, but I believe they are too small. The next time I would do four crusts. It was a good size for me, but John went straight to the pantry for a snack after dinner ha! I look forward to eating too much dough in the freezer, plenty of pizzerias in the future.

Well, this is the bread dough. Have a little taste grainy, but for me it's a good thing. If you do not know, was the whole wheat bread, you may not realize. It has a very thin, crispy crust. A great success in our home!

Individual variation: Mass can be converted into 4 or 6 personal-size pizzas. After kneading, divide the dough into 4 or 6 balls of equal size (I would suggest 4-6 and I made are pretty small). Brush with oil and 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Cover and set aside until doubled in size, was made 1 hour. Roll each portion into a circle of 6-8 inches.

So do not keep the dough is now preparing to step 3 for covering the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 day. Or wrap the dough in oiled plastic wrap and freeze unrisen up to three months.

chronic headaches or migraines affect 29.5 million people. Because it is so common, many believe that the environment must play an important role. I would agree. Nutritionally, it seems that many foods can act as inhibitors or as a trigger. Often, individuals can identify potential triggers, but do not know what foods may help.

Possible triggers are food:
  • Aged cheese
  • Chocolate
  • Dried fruits
  • Red Wine
  • Caffeine
  • Alcohol
  • Artificial sweeteners (Splenda, aspartame, etc)
  • The preservatives in foods, in particular benzoic acid
  • Nitrites in the ham or bacon and other processed meats
  • Food coloring
  • MSG
  • The cigarette or cigar smoke
Tyrosine is an amino acid in aged cheeses, chocolate, nuts and red wine, that the increase in cerebral blood flow to trigger headaches. artificial substances such as sweeteners, preservatives, nitrates, food coloring and MSG has also been shown to have an effect on the headache, even in small amounts. For these additives, be sure to read ingredient lists carefully.
Foods that may help:
  • Eat small, frequent meals that are balanced. Avoid eating foods high in sugar with an empty stomach.
  • Eat cooked fresh. Since the age of food, which can increase tyrosine.
  • The consumption of foods rich in magnesium, such as black beans, peanuts, seeds, shellfish, halibut, vegetables (broccoli, okra and spinach in particular), soy milk, tofu and fortified cereals such as bran cereals and bread. When migraine is severe, try to eat a portion of the magnesium-rich foods at every meal.
  • Migraine can often bring inflammation and healthy fats help fight inflammation. Try a healthy fat at each meal included. Examples include avocado, olive oil, canola oil, olives and nuts.
  • Stay well hydrated. Make sure a bottle of water with you always, and drink often. If you're finding thirsty you're dehydrated.

To find out which foods are triggers for you, it may be helpful to keep a food diary. Once you make a reference headache is easy to see what you have eaten recently and over time you'll see a pattern forming. With this knowledge, the facility with the capacity, frequency of headache.

There are other environmental triggers other than food. Stress, heat, hormones and changes in weather and sleep deprivation are just some examples. And, as always, genetics will play a role.
As one has, the headaches, I know how important it is to recognize the triggers. Some of my environmental triggers have nothing to do with food. But I am also very sensitive to MSG and artificial sweeteners. Thank goodness chocolate is safe for me!
What about you? Do you suffer from migraines? What are your triggers? What have you found useful? Did I miss something here?
