I'm still triggered that high IQ adults eat fast food. You guys really needed to be raised Protestant. No mistakes or "taking a day off mentality" is acceptable

It’s just much more convenient to eat like a dickhead. One of my good friends has genius level IQ and has the worst diet I’ve ever seen. He will be lucky to see 40s.

Feeling real good today. Going to make a nice post workout breakfast then go back again tonight. I rarely workout twice in a day but I want to get in as much as I can before my vaykay.

Alright so serious questions. Why are you a kombucha mushroom person? What it's supposed to do? What are you getting out of it that you've noticed besides it tasting bad?

Fads are a thing. Just a marketing thing, latest diet trend. J

Do a diabetic's diet and work out. Your body will reach equilibrium.

I don't know man. Having a woman cook for me is convenient

Monogamy is a bitch but there's at least that one major perk. And I can do cardio in the morning and lift at night but I can't lift twice in a day

Oh, finally, fast food tastes like shit. There are flavors in food beyond sodium and sugar. I suggest saffron & tumeric!!!

I'm not going to turn this thread into a RnF, but this is a very ignorant post, and not helping anyone here. And by ignorant I mean uneducated / unintelligent.

Please educate then. Although I'm far more leaning towards Ahldagor's opinion atm, I'm genuinely curious and admittedly ignorant on the topic. Make another thread if you think it'll go nuclear?

... You're not talking about Kombucha are you?

Isn't the idea behind a diabetic diet to make your body utilize insulin more efficiently? How is that a bad thing even for non-diabetics?

I'm not going to sit here and sell you on the benefits of probiotics. I'm going to tell you the same thing that I told my barber a week ago. Do your own research. Which surprised him due to my profession. I told him every asshole thinks they know what they're talking about. Go find the science behind it and understand it for yourself.

You don't have to drink kombucha. You can simply pop a probiotic pill which is more than sufficient. I simply enjoy drinking one a day. There are some flavors and brands I simply don't care for.

Alright so we're narrowing it down to probiotic benefit. That's helpful. Thank you.
I'm sure you can see why at a cursory glance it looks dubious at best.

According to a 2000 review, "It has been claimed that Kombucha teas cure asthma, cataracts, diabetes, diarrhea, gout, herpes, insomnia and rheumatism. They are purported to shrink the prostate and expand the libido, reverse grey hair, remove wrinkles, relieve haemorrhoids, lower hypertension, prevent cancer, and promote general well-being. They are believed to stimulate the immune system, and have become popular among people who are HIV positive or have full-blown AIDS".[2] People drink it for its many putative beneficial effects, but most of the benefits were merely experimental studies and there is little scientific evidence based on human studies.[1] There have not been any human trials conducted to confirm any curative claims associated with the consumption of kombucha tea.[1] There is no high-quality evidence of beneficial effects from consuming kombucha.[4]

A 2003 systematic review characterized kombucha as an "extreme example" of an unconventional remedy because of the great disparity between implausible, wide-ranging health claims lacking evidentiary support, and the potential for harm kombucha has.[4] Ernst concluded that the number of proposed, unsubstantiated, therapeutic benefits did not outweigh the known risks, and that kombucha should not be recommended for therapeutic use.[4] Kombucha only appears to benefit those who profit from them, according to a 2003 review.[4]
