I only buy some goat cheese, around 300 grams every 10 days.<br /><br />The goal here is especially to ease up the pressure on the animal kingdom.<br /><br />It's a reaction to industrial farming and use of cows.vitalcoachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15314585457515516430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142498811297416033.post-78653104677250211422008-05-11T07:55:00.000-07:002008-05-11T07:59:44.027-07:00It has been now more than a year since I totally stopped buying fish.<br /><br />Chicken was already gone maybe one year before that.<br /><br />Now, over the last year, I noticed as well a renewed weakening or slight pain on lower back and sometimes knees.<br /><br />It is not much but is enough to ring an alarm bell.<br /><br />Is this related with a lack of protein?<br /><br />This is one of the key questions I have right now.<br /><br />If protein stimulates muscle building and muscle sustains knees and back, then lower protein intake will negatively impact on the muscle mass.<br /><br />therefore, it might weaken these joint and lower back areas.<br /><br />Is this true?<br /><br />Is this how it works?<br /><br />This is a theory I would need to confirmvitalcoachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15314585457515516430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142498811297416033.post-26531873844861547132008-05-11T07:52:00.000-07:002008-05-11T08:06:25.961-07:00Over the last few months, the summer is coming back and it is clear there is an unbalance.<br /><br />Too heavy over the waste line.<br /><br />I am at 75% of my ideal fitness and shape.<br /><br />One of the keys is because of back pressure, i stopped with biweekly jogging.<br /><br />To compensate for that, I do as well eat less.<br /><br />Still bike to dunes and swim +light jogg twice/day.<br /><br />Something need to change and evolve though!<br /><br />It is clear!<br /><br />Here are possible solutions and new strategies:<br /><br /><ul><li>Back to fish?</li><li>Other protein sources increase?</li><li>Jog again?</li><li>Gym</li><li>Bike beach twice/week?</li><li>Other?</li></ul><p> </p>vitalcoachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15314585457515516430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-142498811297416033.post-64690426983381305872007-06-14T00:54:00.000-07:002007-09-20T05:15:29.521-07:00"Why do we exercise?
