Re: Member intro: Your body is your temple.

Re: Member intro: can
Hmm, I've done both P90X and 4 Hour Body workout routines and it really depends on how much time you have. The P90X routines are really intense at first but get easier as time goes on, and the 4 H...

Re: What to use as a thickener?
As far as I know, guar gum and xanthan gum are fiber-based thickeners rather than starches, so the carbs they contain are from fiber. This is what is used in many protein shakes as thickeners and ...

I'm not familiar with biltong, but most meats are fine as long as they don't contain sugar, starch, or other fillers/artificial stuff. Obviously fresh grass-fed meat is best, but you won't be able...
