        We're not allowed peanuts Brooks, but I'll certainly give it a shot when I'm finished with the Whole 30. I intend to stick to healthy eating habits, but I could not live my life of the Whole diet (no booze, no sugar makes Gav a cranky boy).

            Did not know that. But if you're interested, the peanut butter I use called Crazy Richard's has one ingredient, peanuts haha

            Here you go Rafa

            Total recipe:
            Calories- 1212
            Fat- 64.3 - keep in mind 95% of this is from the peanuts but it's an all natural type of fat, so good fat
            Carbs- 133.2
            Protein- 43.9
            Sugar- 60 - totally from the honey which acts as a binder. I was thinking about trying it without but don't think it will bind without
            Fiber- 19.3

            Per bar if cut into 4's
            Calories- 303
            Fat- 16.075
            Carbs- 33.3
            Protein- 10.975
            Sugar- 15
            Fiber- 4.825

                thanks for sharing bags…all in all it´s a good one, but i´d still would check if it isn´t possible to up the protein and to lower the fat a bit.
                40% of the calories of a meal should come from the protein!

                  Been losing a bunch of weight over the last few months due to stress. The last week and a half, been downing a pint of whole milk and two tablespoons of regular peanut butter everytime I feel "not full". I've put on nearly twelve pounds. Pretty happy with that. Hoping to hit my ideal weight of 180 again soon

                  Mind you, I've also been working out like a fiend too, so I'm not putting on fat, but rather muscle

                          I'm going to try this once I am up and going full swing. I'm about 15-20 under target.

                            This works for me mainly because I'm naturally thin, I have to work really hard to put on weight. There is a LOT of fat in this diet plan

                              Thanks for the plan, Doug.

                              As far as eating - if I even look at whole milk I can put on 5lbs.

                                I tried a couple times to have a total body workout with barbells, but I would have to be in the gym for a long time and towards the end, I was more fatigued from being in the gym for that long than from actually lifting.

                                Skogg explains why kettlebells is a different workout than traditional barbells like this: when you use a barbell, you tax a single muscle group 100% (ideally). With kettlebells, you tax ALL your muscles at 30%.

                                This works out for me. I used to have one day a week when I would work out biceps and triceps. One week, one day, 100%. I now do kettlebells 4-5 times a week. That's 120-150% per week. Even if it's not cumulative in a linear fashion, I'm at least doing as much as I was before, but not feeling like death the day after

                                NB: this might or might not be true, but my bullshit sounds very convincing to me and I'm happy 🙂

                                      I've been married for 15 years and have a 3 year old daughter. I'm very happy to spend time alone in the gym with my inefficient workout.

                                      Kidding aside, I've heard nothing but good things about kettle bells, but I'm just not into it.

                                        Day 2 of the Whole 30 plan diet, and i am at the stage of "I fucking hate this diet". I am reliably told by friends (Jeff, Seawolf and Mrs Seawolf) that this will change after the first week, I hope so.

                                            Yup, the main principles of the diet are….

                                            • No sugar
                                            • No grain
                                            • No alcohol

                                            Up until 2 days ago, my diet consisted of...

                                            • Sugar
                                            • Grain
                                            • Alcohol

                                            This is quite a change.
