Title: Are veggies a must year round?
Post by: Meso_z on October 05, 2009, 03:10:27 PM
Whenever bulking or cuting are they always essential?

I think dieting is where i would use some...buking, i used to, didnt notice shit.

Right now im bulking so i find it completely useless...boring to eat too.

I used to eat year round but the only thing i noticed was that my shits were always green. thats all.

nope. but you shoudl always try to keep a balance of acidic and alkaline foods. always have either a fruit or veggie at every meal. the easiest way to do it is fruits = bulking, veggies = cutting.  but you could use veggie pills or fruit/veggie juices too.

Don't you take in some multi vitamin/mineral pills? I think those should cover all you daily nutritional needs as far as vitamins and minerals go. Might be better to take in veggies though I'm really bad at it also.

they should, most of them are horrible though. any multivitmain that contains calcium is garbage. most of them do.

here you go

the human body needs an 80 % alkaline 20 % acidic balance

That's just how it works. Cut the carbs, up the protein and the veggies

The veggies give you vitamins, minerals and fiber

If they are fresh and raw it means their bioavailability is greater. Eat red meats : any red meat especialy hunt/kill

up the veggies and the red meat and lower the carbs. Eat good fats

ALL YOUR FOOD SHOULD BE ORGANIC !

I don't think it is a must. If you have different berries in your diet. Or steamed sweet potatoes. But there is still good benefits from green leaf vegetables. I don't always have vegetables as I tend to grow tired of it after awhile.

if you have any respect for your colon and asshole (which a lot of you will say you do, but come on this is getbig aka schmoe country) you will eat veges. i know apples arent veges but the saying is true "an apple a day keeps the doctor away". you need fiber and pectin for easier times on the toilet. especially as you get older. i try to get high fiber veges in 1 meal a day to stay regular

your absolutely right, what you eat has zero efect on your bodies PH. your body has an internal regulation system that keeps your PH the same at all times, and if it did ever fluctuate, youd probably end up dead.

Now, that being said, certain food yeild a acidic content, while certain foods yeild an alkaline content.  if you are eating more of one then the other, your body has to work to offset that inbalance. that process of ofsetting an imbalance is what you want to avoid.  in order to offset a heavy acidic diet, your body has to take glutamine from muscle and calcium from bone. and it must utilize some catabolic hormones to do so.

Exactly.
There might be some truth to what tbombz posted though.

I would always prefer the most natural method of getting nutrients.

So what's wrong with this low-grade chronic metabolic acidosis? Well, since the body must, at all costs, operate at a stable pH, any dietary acid load has to be neutralized by one of a number of homeostatic base-producing mechanisms. So, although the pH of the body is maintained and your doctor visits turn out fine, many cells of the body will suffer. Here are some of the most severe consequences of your body's attempt to maintain a constant pH in the face of an acidic environment:

       Hypercalciuria (high concentrations of calcium in the urine). Since calcium is a strong base and bone contains the body's largest calcium store, metabolic acidosis causes a release in calcium from bone. As a result, osteoclastic (bone degrading) activity increases and osteoblastic (bone building) activity decreases. The net result of these changes is that bone is lost in order to neutralize the acidic environment of the body. The calcium that was stored in the bone is then lost in the urine along with the acid it was mobilized to neutralize. This creates a negative calcium balance (more calcium is lost from the body than is consumed) and bones get weak. (2,3,4,6)

       Negative nitrogen balance (high concentrations of nitrogen in urine). Glutamine is responsible for binding hydrogen ions to form ammonium. Since hydrogen ions are acidic, glutamine acts much like calcium to neutralize the body's acidosis. Since skeletal muscle contains the body's largest glutamine store, metabolic acidosis causes muscle breakdown to liberate glutamine from the muscle. The Amino Acids from this muscle breakdown are then excreted, causing a net loss of muscle protein. (2,7)

In addition to bone and muscle loss, other consequences of acidosis include:

       Decreased IGF1 activity (4)

       GH resistance (4)

       Mild hypothyroidism (4)

       Hypercortisolemia (4,5)

Interestingly, low-grade metabolic acidosis seems to worsen with age. Many have speculated that this is due to an age-related decline in kidney function (and acid excretion). Of course, osteoporosis and muscle wasting are unfortunate consequences of aging. While it's too early to tell, perhaps some of the bone and muscle loss evident as individuals get older is a result of diet-induced acidosis. This means that employing a few simple acid-base strategies may help slow osteoporosis and sarcopoenia.

I will refuse to debate these issues in this thread with people that don't even know how the human body functions.

tbombz: " what you eat does not influence your body "

another gem :
  "The alkaline-acidic-balance-thing of the human body is still not vindicable from a scientific and a medical standpoint, and can't be influenced by nutrition.

otherwise you would be very sick "

holy fuck !!

You cannot be that ignorant !

You are what you eat dum dums. If you think the acidic alkaline balance is a myth I have news for you

THE HUMAN SPECIES WAS DESIGNED TO FEED ITSELF WITH 75-80 % ALKALINE REACTING FOODS AND 20-25 % ACIDIC REACTING FOODS.

Another thing : this bodybuilding type of diet is not healthy for the human body

too many carbs

shitty ingredients

here's a list with what I believe are rules to feed ourselves

- organic red meats : at least 3 times a week
- green leafy bitter veggies daily
- veggies daily with every meal
- steam distilled water only
- only certified organic foods
- only whole foods not processed

oh damn you are really really stupid, if you eat tons of sugary foods your face will be all broken out and get acne from being overly acidic same with too much grains
