Just about to finish up with my usual tub of SIS Rego. Tempted to buy another as it tastes great but I can’t bear the horrific farts anymore. I mean, it’s terrible, eye wateringly terrible. If you’ve used that stuff before you’ll know what I’m on about.

Anyone mixing up their own shakes with stuff from the supermarket? I’ve got a smoothie maker machine thing.

What should I chuck in the basket next time I’m at the supermarket?

I used to always make my own at home, as I thought it tasted much better and I seemed to be able to keep it down.

Banana, milk, yogurt and some sort of flavouring and the basic bases.

Peanut butter, cocoa powder or some form of berries.

I always added Baking Soda too, no idea if it was a placebo effect, but I was told it reduced lactic acid build-up and therefore chucked it in!

I’ve seen people use raw eggs, and other various things, but no way!!

It is the livestrong website, but these is a pretty decent article on the Baking Soda ingredient -

I thought baking soda was something your supposed to take before exercise to make your blood more alkaline to buffer against lactic acid?

Ironically,  the yogurt you mix it with contains lactic acid.

Milks good, although it does cause weight gain (think about it, it's designed to make babies fat, so that's what it does to grown ups too).

sweetened almond milk plus add what you want. I think its the hydration affect I get most benefit from. Try to include some protein for recovery

pH of you blood varies by a tiny amount. eating doesn't change a thing.  If the pH did change you would die.

Milk, own preference, blackberries, banana in a blender. Bit of sugar to sweeten to taste, and a scoop of protein powder if you want to be scientific.

I use my Rego sparingly because I tend to just have a glass of milk with choc flavouring instead if I'm finishing a ride at home. Often swiftly followed by half a tin of mackerel in tomato sauce on toast.

Could put it all together in a shake i suppose.

😀

Never noticed the farts thing BTW.

"What happens when good bacteria go bad?
Each person’s collection of gut microbes is unique and sensitive to environmental conditions, which starts at birth.

As the baby passes through the birth canal, it will pick up the “fingerprint” of the mother’s gut flora, thus mom’s diet during pregnancy could affect the child for the rest of his or her life. In the case of a C-section, the baby’s gut flora, is virtually non-existent.
Compromised digestive health from such an early age, coupled with poor diet, stress, environmental pollutants, medications, antibiotics, and infections can swing the gut ratio the other way; where the bad bacteria far outweigh the good bacteria.
Carbs in excess are particularly destructive where gut flora are concerned. Restricting carbs without restoring the ecology of the digestive tract, with probiotic foods, doesn’t make sense as it could take many years to return the colon to health without them.
Good gut bacteria also synthesize vitamins B7 (biotin), B12, and K. The deficiency of these essential vitamins, along with a high carbohydrate diet, contributes to diabetes, obesity, hair loss, grey hair, eczema, anaemia, internal bleedings, ulcers, strokes, cancers, degenerative disorders such as Parkinson and Alzheimer disease, and common gastrointestinal, "

600mm semi skimmed milk, 75-100g Greek yoghurt, banana, spoonful of hot chocolate and honey - seems to work well for me

Large glass of chocolate milk. And a banana.  Mix them together if you wish, but I eat the banana separate.

I'm curious how gut bacteria are present in the vaginal canal

Yes that bit about gut bacteria is tremendous nonsense and Noakes is at best "controversial"

Nothing unusual for here tho.  Where is the chap who worked in ITU and was very good at debunking these myths.  The idea that loose hydrogen ions are floating around in your muscles is extremely funny.
