Hilary 2011-09-03T20:06:43Z 2011-09-03T20:06:43Z <p>I like to take 10g of BCAA powder in water about twenty minutes before a workout. The best source I have found is www.trueprotein.com. Scroll on down past "BCAA" in their product list until you get to "Branch Chain Amino Acids INSTANTIZED." Very economical. About a quarter of the price of the stuff you mentioned. You can order it with various natural or artificial flavors, and with stevia or other sweeteners. I just get it plain. Kind of bitter, but you get used to it. It's much cheaper than anything in capsules, and is much easier to mix with water than plain leucine powder. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/57794/who-would-you-pay-to-hear-at-ahs-2012/58440#58440 Answer by Hilary for Who would you pay to hear at AHS 2012? Hilary 2011-08-15T22:04:15Z 2011-08-15T22:04:15Z <p>I would definitely pay to see Mat Lalonde, Robb Wolf, and Petro Dobromylskyj. Oh, and Michael Richards from the Max Planck Institute!</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/58124/having-trouble-getting-waist-hip-measurements/58437#58437 Answer by Hilary for Having trouble getting waist & hip measurements. Hilary 2011-08-15T21:57:10Z 2011-08-15T21:57:10Z <p>I don't think anyone's got this quite right yet. Yes, consistency is important, but so is the actual location of the measurements. "Waist" and "hip" have precise meanings, and the waist-hip ratio is based on them. I don't know how much difference it really makes, but it's pretty simple, so we might as well remove any uncertainty.</p> <p>The waist is the narrowest place, below the ribs and above the iliac crest. Not on the iliac crest, but above it. This will be above the navel--usually about an inch above. Exhale and hold firm, but without sucking in. And hold the tape so it is horizontal and snug, but not squeezing in.</p> <p>The hip and the pelvis are not the same thing. The hip is the joint between the pelvis and the femur. The hip measurement is taken with the tape horizontal, directly on the trochanters of the femurs, which are easy to locate. This should line up as well with the pubic bone, and with the largest rearward protrusion of the glutes, if tensed. It should be the largest measurement in the hip region.</p> <p>Hope it helps.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/442/ketosis-do-coconuts-keep-you-out-of-it/2069#2069 Answer by Hilary for Ketosis: Do coconuts keep you out of it? Hilary 2010-03-14T02:37:34Z 2010-03-14T02:37:34Z <p>Coconut oil is a great way to get into ketosis. Definitely doesn't interfere. It also totally promotes fat burning and weight loss. Lots of good stuff here: <a href="http://bit.ly/1EztvC" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1EztvC</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/62486/what-is-the-best-way-to-utilize-bcaas/62606#62606 Comment by Hilary Hilary 2011-09-05T13:47:30Z 2011-09-05T13:47:30Z I've never seen free s&amp;h there, but have only ordered a few times. Yeah, the s&amp;h is high. But compare the total cost. The product is so much cheaper that it way more than makes up for the higher s&amp;h. If you know of a source with a lower total delivered cost on these kinds of things, I'd love to hear about it. http://paleohacks.com/questions/43192/bcaas-before-fasted-training/43209#43209 Comment by Hilary Hilary 2011-09-03T20:21:25Z 2011-09-03T20:21:25Z Check out www.truprotein.com. You can save about twenty dollars on your 2 lbs., compared to the SciFit. In the supplements list, scroll on down past the BCAA Boost and BCAA Plus, to the one listed as &quot;Branch Chain Amino Acids INSTANTIZED.&quot; Same nasty taste, but much nicer price. http://paleohacks.com/questions/57606/have-you-seen-these-ancestral-health-symposium-videos-yet/57679#57679 Comment by Hilary Hilary 2011-08-16T11:10:10Z 2011-08-16T11:10:10Z Mat's not in the nutrition department at Harvard, and I would be surprised if he agreed with much of what they put out. He's in the Chemistry and Chemical Biology department. http://paleohacks.com/questions/1768/mct-oil-is-it-good-for-you/1770#1770 Comment by Hilary Hilary 2010-03-14T03:02:35Z 2010-03-14T03:02:35Z I agree with this. I get my MCTs from coconut oil or milk, and that way you don't miss out on the many benefits of lauric acid. I think that, for some reason, they remove the lauric acid from coconut oil to make MCT oil. Perhaps that's how they make it stay fluid, whereas coconut oil is pretty thick and not too fun to swallow. I use a lot of coconut fat, and it really helps with weight loss/fat burning. It also will knock out a stomach bug. http://paleohacks.com/questions/1797/is-there-anything-safe-to-drink-in-large-amounts/1963#1963 Comment by Hilary Hilary 2010-03-14T02:41:04Z 2010-03-14T02:41:04Z No, I don't have a link. But it's something I looked into extensively 8 or 10 years ago, and found what seemed to be pretty solid information that the tea plant is a fluoride accumulator. I think if you do some searching you should be able to turn somthing up.
