Fruity Recovery Pantry Stock up is for my recovery foods and training treats.  Fruit is still a sugar and must be consumed sparingly, at times to peak recovery and training gains. Vitamin C and minerals are best sourced from a varied and colourful diet of vegetables for many reasons. Probably one of the biggest sources of fruit to watch out for, is consumption of large amounts of  PURE fruit juices.  

It's best to have a veg fruit combo and always with awareness of just how much extra sugars your consuming. Any, excess carbs at the end of the day is going to go straight to bodyfat storage. I see way to many people consuming ridiculous amounts of starchy and sugary carbs (Dont follow the food Pyramid if you dont want to have high bodyfat percentages) and they almost always having problems with bodyfat yet alone body tone. Then spending unnecessary time burning calories doing cardio, which can also reduces muscle - by default increasing bodyfat percentage and dropping the basal metabolic rate. 

How much carbohydrates one requires depends on how many calories one burns in a day. So if your sitting on your butt all day in the office -eating cereal and toast for breakfast, rolls for lunch and pasta for dinner with god knows what in-between - You will have bodyfat that you just wont be able to shake. When I assess clients I always recommend their own special range of starchy carbs based on their daily activities and body composition - no one is the same. 

When in doubt always fill up to your hearts content on lots of bountiful fibrous with some starchy veg, lean clean sources of essential protein, lift weights and get of the cardio merry round. You wont be bloated, you'll be stronger, look younger, have more energy and your waistline will whittle and muscle/tone will no longer be so hard to achieve :D

Fibre Capsules Drink Rose-hip straight from the Pot

Why DIY your own Fibre Capsules?? Because when you look at the ingredients from a Real Nutritionists eye - you bulk
at all the added extras. I mean seriously the most popular fibre supplement out on the market today, is just laden with cane sugar and whatnot. So in one hand you are increasing health with meeting optimal fibre needs whilst on the other hand - you're creating or enforcing excess body-fat via peaking glucose spikes. So... Solution DIY - you wont believe how easy and how cheap it is. I did this on the weekend whilst watching the Original War of the Worlds, covered in Face paint (Honey clay Mask) Enjoy :D

Coping PTSD

 As many of you know from the attack I sustained last year I have ongoing PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) to deal with/manage. Allot of our soldiers have to deal with this as a result of Traumatic events. But what many don't know it can result from a collusion or an attack like in my case. I guess what makes it hang around is depth of physical damage for me. I feel this mental response is a natural and even beneficial state to ones survival, but its no good long term. One of the best ways to manage this condition is to remove the urge to fight or be on guard with certain brain training techniques and coping management. To me crap is an essential by product of life "It's how you deal with it, that counts" 

Diminishing this fight/adrenal trigger has been the biggest challenge for me, for I have to fight daily in isolation for;

• To keep my company (my baby I worked hard to build previously) - even if just - alive so I eventually have something to go back to when I have full movement restoration
• Every time I have to explain why I cant do something or when people asks what happens "I end up reliving and retelling the experience with all the emotional reactions as if its happening again" Thank GOD for Heahphones and baseball caps :DDDDDD
• My injuries prevent me from having a normal life and therefore the sense of being forced to stand still when your a go getter (18 months now - 2 years to go in rehab) makes me angry and want to fight but there is no direct adversary in front of me, that I can take on right here and now
• The Pain and discomfort reminds me constntly of the attack
• The physical scarring reminds me daily of the attack
• With My first (Of what I feel's going to many court cases) wont be until early next year (2 and a half years post collusion/attack) and we are preparing for the first one all the way up to the end of this year
• I actually have to fight daily, so to be delusional and ignore that fact would be to the detriment of my psyche
• My weekly timetable is full of ongoing Medical, Physio, Psyche appointments ongoing, along with Insurance company related and 

  

  ... My Recent Fab Buys

   awyer/court case related (I could be dealing at any point of time 10 medicos in a week - poking prodding questioning and me reliving/retelling) which is time reinforcing the current state of mind which detracts from where one needs or wants to get to
• My injuries and legal responsibilities prevent me from going back home to Spain to see my family and in these past 2 years I've really needed/wanted to see them - but am forced to do it it tough on my own
• Most nights I dream of being where I was before the attack and actually wake up as though I still had my pre-collusion body and abilities not to mention social life
• The missing chunks of muscle I've had all my life that are now gone actually feel as though I'm missing limbs/parts of me
• Mentally I'm an athlete and have been all my life, so my single mindedness in this matter pushes me to fight and push through anything and everything I have to

... So with all that in mind what do I do to contain/treat PTSD and Hypervigillence?? I;
