Pics & Vids / Re: Trying to make a Parkour videogame
« on: October 16, 2012, 09:10:34 AM »
Seems pretty interesting. Sorry, I got kind of lost, but are you making this for mobile then? Looks like you're using Unity

I'm a programmer/game designer. Working on Patriots: Soldiers of Liberty (can google it im sure) in my spare time at the moment which includes a lot of parkour elements. I'm the only person on the team that really does parkour so I'm coding most of the parkour stuff.

Parkour And Freerunning / Re: Pk Earbuds

This should probably go in Consumer Whores, but I use Yurbuds too. I don't like the behind-the-ear plastic so I just use the in-ear locking ones and they work great for me. I also got an armband/Tune Belt for my phone though since everything falls out of my parkour pants. The combination is perfect.

I'm in Oregon, it's mostly cold rain here. But not freezing. I found a pair of skin-tight golf gloves that work pretty dang well. Although I only use them when completely necessary.

This is a friend's video from Portland, OR. Felt like it should be posted here, so I'm doing it for him :3

The Texas athletes were quite underwhelming. Absolutely nothing compared to the southwest ones imo. I look forward to the northwest.

Something is wrong with you

Yes, I have Crohn's.

Kidding, it's probably an environmental thing. I didn't grow up eating bacon, so I don't eat it now. I don't hate the taste or anything, I can still enjoy it, there are just many other foods I prefer.

If you google: fiberless meals, this is the second link that comes up. There's a serious lack of information on this considering over 500k Americans have Crohn's and 1.5 million or so have an inflammatory problem...

Ick, I hate the texture of bacon. Don't really care for the taste either, lol.

I picked up some sweet potatoes, white potatoes, and white rice today.

I dislike yams a decent bit, so I'm skeptical on the sweet potatoes, but we'll see.

What about baked (russet/non-sweet) potatoes with butter compared against white rice? Would white rice be the better filler?

I'll pick up some sweet potatoes today and see how they are :)

I guess I'll add that I'm not really concerned about losing/gaining weight as I'm 5'9" and about 163lbs - I think that's pretty average.

Try eating some good fats.

Coconut milk is a good one

I always disliked coconut milk, but haven't tried it in years. Maybe I can stomach it now, will try at least :3

Avocado possibly?

I absolutely cannot handle Avocado though. Not because of fiber, I just can't stomach the taste, ick.

Sweet potatoes are a bit different than potatoes so they might work?

I've never actually tried sweet potatoes. I love potatoes, but it feels like pure carbs when I eat one, slathered in butter.

Does white rice work?

White rice would probably work. I just didn't think there was any nutrition in it :)

Bumping up this topic since it's mine.

I've now found that pretty much no full fruits are going to work. Apples/oranges and such cause pain as well.

Berries and melons seem to work fine.

The problem is filling myself up. I'm trying to avoid empty carbs so I'm avoiding pretty much all bread. Also trying to avoid potatoes unless there's a good enough reason that I should eat them.

I can juice some fruit and have that as a drink with some chicken, a homemade burger, etc. but without veggies/potatoes/fruit/etc I'm just not getting full. Right now I'm just eating sunflower seeds for hours after eating so I don't feel like I'm starving.

Surely there must be something I can have as a side with my meat? A plate of chicken and some cheese just doesn't fill me up...

LOL

My dad has always had a pull up bar I had been trying to do a single pull up since I was 8 I had never lifted weights nor did I know parkour was. when I was I had just turned 10 when I figured out what parkour was, and told my friend he didn't believe that things like that where possible at that time. but any I was about half through my year of 10 when my dad finally took me out to learn the 4 basics dead lifts, military press, squats, bench press. at age 11 I could do 100 pound deadlift and shortly after we moved from our house I had quit training for a while and something was pushing me to train so I went to the pull up bar and I did my first pull up so basically where I'm getting at this is that pull ups take back muscle and I think all those deadlifts I can do is what gave me the strength to do a pull up (sorry if this more of a story than any thing)

Pullups were easier when I was 12 too.  ;)

From my understanding - Crohn's patients can do with fiber most times, but just not a lot - is that the case with you or does ANY fiber bog you down?  Or is it just the fiber in processed foods, which is most of the time processed from wood chips and not plants humans normally eat?

Anyway, there easiest way you can remove the fiber from your fruits and veg is probably juicing, and passing all juices through a fine mesh sieve would remove most of the fiber.

One of my biggest problems is plain organic lettuce, spinach, etc. and not just processed fiber. Maybe it depends on bad the Crohn's is. But anything more than a few grams of fiber can end up with me in the hospital, heh.

Juicing is what I've done a bit of, need to find better tasting recipes with vegetables though ;P

Awesome, thanks guys. Sounds like I need to pick up some more multivitamins along with my fish oil.

Well it depends on the fruit and vegetable. I think it depends a lot of how well it digests too. Like lettuce is a super nogo because it gets caught up in my intestines. Berries I seem to have no trouble with at all. Fiber bars, nuts, lettuce, spinach, beans, etc. are the types of things that really destroy my stomach.

And I'll check fitday, thanks.

Haven't started a thread in a while, hmm.

Anyway, I have Crohn's Disease and have to avoid Fiber almost completely. Which means I have to stay away from almost all vegetables and many fruits with skins (unless I skin them first).

My gastroenterologist told me that some cooked vegetables might be okay, but I've had stomach pains with most that I've tried. I suppose I could get by mostly on Meat, Fruit, Eggs, etc. but feel like I'm missing some nutritious components by not being able to eat vegetables.

Also, kind of ironically my girlfriend is a vegetarian so it can be pretty hard to make meals together.

Having a plate of some turkey, fruit, and cheese is great and all but it never fills me up and I miss some vegetables. Is meat, fruit, and cheese enough for a meal or should I look for something to supplement them?

I do have a juicer and have had mild success drinking juiced vegetables but the taste of juiced vegetables is awful to me.

Flushing is probably from niacin (B3)

I'm sure that there's some other stuff in there that leads to the "energy" but I don't have an ingredients list nor am I gonna search for one.

But one thing I do know it's not B12. The B vitamins don't give any instant energy although niacin does give a flush (although the flush isn't actually beneficial).

Oh, good to know :)
