kbgirl Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Firstly, a big THANK YOU to whomever suggested this book... I picked it up yesterday and it it absolutely GRIPPING reading for someone like me - with all the scientific explanations about various nutrients and how they affect our bodies. Is anyone else here following this program/lifestyle? As I haven't read it all, I am not entirely sure what's involved, but I do like what I've seen so far. Just thought I'd open it up for discussion... TIA for your responses. Rank: Low-Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hehe, you're welcome. As I mentioned in other posts, I'm not following the specific meal program, but I use the info in choosing what food I want to cook for myself. I first found out about it because I had a friend always talk about it at our breakfast table in college. She and a bodybuilder who sat at the table would always have the funniest discussions because he was all "Meat...Argh..." and she was all "Soy!!!" I finally picked it up because it sounded interesting (and had Okinawan in the title). I got my best friend in college to buy it and my sister to read it...and now you...hmm...maybe it's contagious?

ang_soo_do_guy Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 first off im new to the site and my name should be tang_soo_do not ang_soo_do and second i bought this book off net but it not arrived yet and i heard good things about it for healthy eating for karate but i want to ask can u still do strength trainig with it or do u need to add more protein "learning a martial art is like tuning a string instrument. tune the strings too hard and they will snap tune them too little and it will not play but tune it right and you will have music for a lifetime"-anonomous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Yes, you can do strength training with it. Tofu, for example, contains as much protein as chicken and is a much safer source for it in my opinion. Recently, a lot of protein shakes and stuff now offer soy sources as opposed to others.

ang_soo_do_guy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 i forgot to ask aswell the program will make you leaner but is it the right food for if u want a toned body but not big eg bruce lee slim but muscle "learning a martial art is like tuning a string instrument. tune the strings too hard and they will snap tune them too little and it will not play but tune it right and you will have music for a lifetime"-anonomous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yes, but I believe a good deal of that will depend upon your physical training as well. Just as a note, it is necessary for athletes to eat more protein than non-athletes...just be sure you don't go overboard, as I think many people do. Protein doesn't burn as "cleanly" as other sources of energy...although plant proteins burn cleaner than animal sources...
