I love almonds and finally found organic almond butter by blue diamond that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I am in a cutting phase right now and that bread sounds good as well as the crust but I may wait till after to make that. |

I have an excuse to eat almonds! Yay!
That "cheesecake" looks like reinvented mandeltorte, which is my favorite dessert (despite being terrible for you and difficult to find.) |

Same, I'm not a GOMAD person but I feel that the fact that it's cheap and a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals outweighs the bloating. If I had the opportunity, I'd cut it out entirely and would drink whey non-stop, but I can't afford to. I'll certainly cut it out when I start my first cut. |

When I lost 70 pounds about a year ago(had been 230+ all my life), I was eating one serving of Almonds every day. They must work! |

I agree. Statements like "It's very allergenic" are just flat out wrong as well as misleading, particularly when the same person touts milk proteins (casein and whey) in the same breath. The author apparently makes the common mistake of confusing lactose allergy (very uncommon) with intolerance (somewhat common, due to a deficiency of lactase enzyme - not allergy). Not only that, but milk allergy is usually caused by milk proteins (casein and whey) which he recommends taking.

Chris,
Have you tried using coconut flour in the bread recipe? Coconut flour seems to soak up more water than regular flour. Does almond flour behave the same?

Good read, any chance we could get the nutritional facts on some of the recipes you gave? Or do we have to figure that out for ourselves when we buy the ingredients? Some of us hate math, you know. :P |

This also drives me nuts. Too many people say allergy when they are really talking about intolerance. If you really have a allergy it is a much bigger deal, but you summed it up nicely. |

Chris,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on "Men's Bread" made by French Meadow:
http://www.frenchmeadow.com/...lls/men-s-bread
It's palatable, and it's the only bread I've found in stores that has a notable amount of protein.
you can also find a double protein bread by arnold is most supermarkets.
http://arnold.bimbobakeriesusa...
i believe it's mostly rice and wheat based protein, but if you need bread for something it's better than most other options. |

Not horrible, a "better bad" food, but it's still grain flour based, which is what we're trying to avoid. And besides, we don't eat bread for protein really, so "double protein" bread doesn't mean much. Sorta like "high protein" cereals. Wow, 4 grams instead of 2!
I'd do Ezekiel bread sometimes, but even that's not great. |

Ripping major ass in accounting class is a pretty big deal. But I see what you mean. |

I'm going to try out the cheesecake this weekend!
However, do you know the calories, macros off hand?
I don't own a calculator and i'm no good with math. |

Coconut flour is great stuff, but very tricky. It SUCKS up liquids and can't usually be used cup for cup as a flour replacer.
But no, almond flour isn't like that. You can usually sub it in equally, cup for cup.

I seldom provide calorie/macro counts because there are so many variations possible (thick crust vs. thin crust for the cheesecake for example.) Plus with ingredient substitutions (using skim instead of almond milk etc) and even different brands of the same product having different calorie counts, well, it would make my numbers pretty meaningless anyway.
So I just focus on healthy nutrients, bodybuilder-centric ingredients, high protein, lower or controlled carb counts, high volume, more fiber, good fats, and things like that. |

Hi,
One can buy lactose-free milk (the lactose has been turned into lactase). This process normaly takes places in your intestines and that causes the bloating due to intolerance. It's a contradiction to talk about the fat in milk when high fat diets are so promoted.
Rice milk is also an option! |

And yet 90% of people who can't even get near milk do just fine with quality whey/casein protein powders like Metabolic Drive.
I talked to 6 bodybuilder-focused nutrition experts (PHDs, MDs, etc) when writing the milk comments. One said milk was fine, at least for teens. Five said that the physique-conscious person should avoid it.
But really it all comes down to whether or not it REALLY works for you: http://tnation.tmuscle.com/...working_for_you |
