Not so gd, it has guar gum n other stabilizers. Occasional consumption is fine but as a frequent part of our diet, no way.

ayam in can form can be found in Giant. Look no else where.

 

Its coconut cream or coconut milk. Cream more value for money as its 3 coconut squeeze into a can instead of 2 for the milk............ :D

Thanks Hamburger. Will check it out this weekend! :D

 

btw, do you guys have any difficulties drinking coconut cream? and/or coconut oil?

 

I just drank the pack bought earlier.. feels weird.. [crazy]

not sure whether is it because I'm not used to it or maybe I drink it neat @ room temperature.. [dead]

Careful, you'll soon be getting bulkier, like........me. [;)] (before)

 

Wah, what you doing there? Sounds like you're doing something dangerous!

 

As for myself, I've switched to lifting heavy (3-5 rep range) in the gym 3 times a week, with once a week max effort 8 set sprints. I was expecting to put on some fat cos my activity level has decreased drastically since the metabolically demanding circuits have been cut out, and the heavy lifting is causing me to eat like a PIG! But so far, my pants still fit and my muscles seem to be becoming more angular looking.

 

Still eat the same foods though. Just even more now. Scary.

Forget NTUC when it comes to coconut milk/cream. Cold Storage has Ayam Brand pure coconut milk/cream too.

 

I have no issues with it. It's an instant appetite quencher. 1 can and that's it, fullness. These days, I add some toasted desiccated coconut and a dash of cinnamon for dessert.

 

Coconut oil is great as a salad dressing. I don't mind drinking it with a spoon either. Of course you can cook with it too.

Yeah, that's I'm doing only low reps.

 

From what I have read, lifting for strength induces myofibrillar hypertrophy, which contributes to muscle tone rather than size.

 

Dunno man, seems to be working. Although I'm a bit bigger all round, it seems the striations are more obvious now.

 

But one thing is for sure, I cannot buy a suit off the rack anymore. My pant size are at least 2 sizes smaller than my jacket size. It's the width of my shoulders and chest that are causing the problem. Damn sian.

Bigger then me now lor. I believe I'm somewhat "normal" size now....and yes, it does induce myofibrillar hypertrophy, to a degree.

For me today, this song is going to be ringing in my head this whole week.

I usually get mine from Cold Storage. Try the coconut milk (blue colour) for a thiner, milk like consistency.

 

Certain Giants also have the BROWN ones. Those are even thicker than the cream.
