Okay. Just come back from an exhausting training. My head is further dizzied and wobbled somewhat after digesting some of the threads here, but I learn to be very happy and content. Let me share you my secret. I stole this from Joseph Conrad’s book “Under Western Eyes”
“You can’t ignore the importance of a good digestion. The joy of life…depends on a sound stomach, whereas a bad digestion inclines one to skepticism, incredulity, breeds black fancies and thoughts of death.”
You owe it to yourself with a nice meal before going to the battlenet.
What is a proper Wing Chun diet? What is a proper diet?
I am confounded by many youngsters’ comments about ingesting protein shakes and other synthetic combo foods. What ever happened to eating real food?
It seems to me to be much healthier to eat what nature provides and in the balance of minerals and micronutrients that natural foods contain than to load up on imbalanced additive-saturated artificial fad foods.
I read a book on the Zone diet, and though I haven’t tried it as a “diet,” the principle of balance between natural carbs–veggies and fruit, grains, etc—healthy fats, and healthy protein foods makes good sense. Also, the idea of spacing out balanced meals throughout the day for maximum benefit–mental and physical—makes sense to me.
Extreme diet theories, like the notions folks get of Atkins’ high protein/fat diet or vegan extremism strain my credulity.
Also, it should be obvious that eliminating junk food’s empty calories is a good thing. Unless of course, you’re a programmer and need all that sugar.
Your sound comment is much appreciated. I wrote that post more as a humor suggesting that everyone will be just a little mellow and receptive of other interesting aliens on the forum if they have a nice meal - The Europeans documented this fascinating phenomenon in “Babette’s Feast” the movie. Do watch it if you can. Two palms up!
Originally posted by PaulH I don’t know about Hendrik, but Babette is the real Yim Wing Chun for me! Her kind of Kung Fu is all powerful but incredibly subtle.
Indeed - Babette too is my ideal for Wing Chun. An extraordinary artist in the most subtle and elusive secrets of slaying .
No offense to Diaz, Hendrik … just different perspectives.
