Maybe you are thinking of the penis enhancement stuff you bought? Or was it the smart pills??
Colostrum has the bovine growth hormone, which is so very close to the human growth hormone as to be indistinguishable. It has the same effect. All these "enhancers" are just wrappers for bovine growth hormone.
Unfortunately the growth factors in bovine colostrum are destroyed upon entering our stomach. Babies can only absorb it for a certain amount of time before its rendered useless too. The studies around colostrum are positive though. It's not a bad idea to take some for the immune benefits alone, but it doesn't come cheap.

yes I can freeze stuff. I like cooking home cooked meals and such. I just don't have the time and energy to shop much more than that. I was thinking along the lines of home made bean salad for breakfast. craker and cheese for snack before and after lunch of piece of flank steak. Salad when I get home and then some more meat for dinner. I think most of that stuff will last for a week. The oats and stuff sounds pretty good. I just need a couple of different options to not get board. Thanks for any ideas. Thanks for your help/ideas/comments.

Hmm, i see-yeah, most stuff will last a week-but it will last ages frozen. I have AN idea, not so much to do with weight loss, but you can make of it what you will-and it revolves around the right tools for the job.
You dont want perishables to go off, cooking is a chore, lots of washing up, a real pain-get yourself a stainless steel "sunbeam elise" frypan.
Years ago, i moved around a lot, and guess what, nobody had good cookware, and not surprisingly, they couldn't cook for nuts. And i was about sick and tired of baked beans and noodles.
I saw one of these puppies on special, read the blurb said it could roast, bake, boil,slow cook, fry, broil, steam-it can even grill -and it can, so i grabbed it.
This "frypan" taught me how to cook, basically-read a bit of info on "slow cooking", and your away.
Ive used it constantly since 2002 i think, a few times a week since-roasts, casseroles, curries, stir fries, soups, bbq,even baked a pizza, you name it.
Sure , its just an electric frypan-an electric frypan that holds 7 LITRES of food.
Yep, 7 litres-well over a gallon of tucker.
What that does, is allows you to use your fresh ingredients at their prime, cooked as much or as little as you want, in bulk-as may suit once a week bulk shopping.
Freeze it in the portion size you want , in freezer bags, (or dehydrate , also works well) , just defrost and heat, whenever you like-in the portion size you want.
Or just cook a base once week, and add goodies as you go-your variation is limited only by your imagination, particularly if you have a basic knowledge of the various worldwide cuisines.
The only problem ive had, is the food i cook is so delicious i couldnt "diet" on it, but this thing will make things so easy you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
A lot of people rave about pressure or slow cookers, thats great; but you cant do a fry up in a slow cooker, and you most certainly cant roast in a pressure cooker.
Dont get one of the square things, or a teflon coated peice of crap that will last a month or two, a stainless-round "sunbeam elise" frypan, their just bloody great.
A monster chef's knife, a giant chopping board, whatever fresh ingredients you can buy, scrounge or scavenge, and your good to go.

If the human digestive system destroyed proteins people would not have food allergies and oral vaccines would not work. Monsanto argues that the human stomach destroys the bvgh added to the dairy herds in the US but the argument gets refuted every time. Further, at my age you have a lot less stomach acid than younger people.
Believe me, I use the product, it facilitates recovery after a workout, making the next morning a pleasure instead of pain.
Organic colostrum is $4 a glass, pretty pricey, the OxyHGH is a fraction of that.
I totally screwed up my knee cycling some months back. I got all kinds of advise here on ET about cold/heat, emu oil, etc. That all did nothing at all..... The knee hurt until I got a cane to keep the weight off it and took the OxyHGH, it took a whole five days to reduce the pain to the "barely noticeable" level. Now I'm cycling a bit every day, building up the knee and loving it.
Are some of these guys arguing here fanatics of one sort or another? I worked with a guy that was a fanatic vegan. He could argue adamantly for things with all sorts of convincing arguments and sound like science was completely on his side when it was nothing but the fanatacism talking.

Yes you don't need to convince me, I take colostrum every day. I'm glad to hear it worked for you, but it's not the growth hormones which aided your recovery. How could it be? Please prove me wrong with a source.
Here's mine from the Australian Sports Anti Doping Authority:
Colostrum used as a nutritional supplement is derived from cows' milk. It contains predominantly the proteins casein and whey. The whey protein includes a number of components including IGF- I. Some IGF-1 also occurs in normal milk, other dairy products and eggs.
<b>Research indicates that IGF-1 is broken down in the stomach and inactivated when ingested orally. There would, therefore, be no mechanism by which ingested IGF-1 could act on the body as a growth factor.</b>
I haven't heard of OxyHGH, I might check it out. Thanks.
atticus,
How do acacia and psyllium seed husks compare as sources of fiber, along with the tangential benefits they provide?
How do acacia and psyllium seed husks compare as sources of fiber, along with the tangential benefits they provide?
OK, I did a bit of checking on the internet. I read that psyllium has about 71 grams of soluble fiber per 100 grams, whereas acacia has about 80% soluble fiber. It seems acacia is in the lead with psyllium close behind. Psyllium is also supposed to have cholestrol lowering benefits, according to the media. Can acacia be bought unbranded and in bulk, like psyllium? If so, then I will give it a go as well. And would you know if the cost is comparable?Quote from atticus:
Soluble vs. non soluble. The acacia is a soluble source which lowers cholesterol. Psyllium is used for bowel-motility.

Thanks for the response. I will look into getting on of those. I did a quick search and all of the websites that came up were Aus or Nz (in the first ~5 pages.) Is it an Aus thing? I had never heard of it before.

Yes, psyllium is approx 70% soluble. I believe acacia is closer to 85%, but no matter. Psyllium is approx a third the cost of acacia. AFAIK, acacia is not found in bulk.
