I was trying to make a joke about ISTJs being shaken by too much variety, that they're boring, etc, etc.--- but it failed.
Please just ignore me and my sad attempts at humor.
Try jasmine green tea if you haven't
it's lighter, flowery-er and fragrant. Or don't steep it for too long?

I think we have some jasmine green tea actually.
We used to have mint green tea but it was too delicious for me not to drink...
hey [MENTION=1425]Korg[/MENTION] (long time no see?)
couple questions:
why workout on an empty stomach? unless you're using a sensitive PWO seems like it'd be better to consume before working out (just allocate adequate time space between the two.) Just personal preference?
What's dextrose do? Is it anything like glutamine where the benefits are debatable?
How much water do you consume a day?
I used to workout after eating a bunch of carbs because I thought it was necessary. Then I tried an experiment where I worked out fasted - which really sucked at first, actually. Then after about 4 weeks, I got used to it and began to prefer it. It's clearer mentally (for me) and I don't feel sluggish like my system is being hampered with digestion while trying to lift really heavy shit for 70 minutes. Plus, it's nice to wake up and just go. To just get out of bed and not fuck around with food or structure your entire morning around eating before/after. These days, I don't even eat until noon which is hours after I'm done.
It also seems to be better for losing fat. There's a bunch of broscience articles about it but, anecdotally speaking, I would agree.
Dextrose is a very simple sugar. It's more of a food them a chemical supplement.
It's good after working out because your muscles have had a lot of the glycogen wrung out of them so they just soak it back up like a sponge. Otherwise, I avoid sugar for the most part.
And I don't take supplements except whey protein.
Anywhere from 1/2 to 1 gallon.
It has to be the same item everyday or a wildly different item everyday. One or the other.
Consistency is important.

Here is some stuff on fasting:

I've read somewhere that you're supposed to burn more fat or to burn it faster, something like that. I used to do it in summer more frequently than now (because now I want to gain some more before "trimming" it down in spring) and I've trimmed quite a lot, I think. But... like with everything: some encourage it, some don't. I personally like it when fasted.

breakfast probably is the most important meal of the day. im supposed to tell people that as part of becoming a naturopath. I think that its best to do whatever feels most natural and comfortable, and gives you the most energy. Everyone is different, despite our similar plumbing.
i tried to eat breakfast for different stages. Mostly, it made me feel full and tired regardless of what options i tried. Sometimes it makes me full nauseous
Most mornings i have a glass of water and then a cofffee or 2. I eat my first meal 3-5 hours after ive gotten up. Often i'll eat leftovers or whatever else is available to me. If its tasty than im not fussy.
I love going out to have breakfast though. Somehow that changes things. I make a healthy breakfast for my daughter everyday. On some days i make breakfast for others too. I just dont eat it, or might eat it a bit later.
Most mornings i walk or run. Its hard to do on a full stomach

Try this if your household is the type that buys the pre-mixed baby spinach and spring greens salad cartons :
Add spicy dijon mustard, a bit of balsamic vinegar, and a small amount of roasted cashews. Pretty bomb salad combo I made up this morning!

I had a raspberry streusel oatmeal bar, a small leftover portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spinach, fried potatoes, cheese and mushrooms and half a cranberry walnut pancake with creme brulee hot cocoa. It's Saturday, bitches...
