Pizza and beer on the menu for Tigers

[cunno]

No it isn't, it's a completely unnecessary thing to do for 99% of the population. Wheat-based products have a whole lot of beneficial vitamins and minerals in them that their gluten-free equivalents tend not to have. Cutting them out is generally not a good idea unless you actually need to, and even then you have to be careful about doing it in order to maintain a balanced diet.

Nutritionists have been consistently saying over a long period of time that a balanced diet is best. The "health" industry, with the aim of making money, likes to periodically demonise certain products (fat, gluten, anything processed), and then sell overpriced "healthy" options to consumers. Don't fall too easily for it…

Nelson I'm not saying stop eating wheat and replace it with glutten free products.
I agree that gluten free products are high on carbohydrates and have zero nutrients. Any few nutrients they do contain have been added. (Fortified)
Modern wheat is not the same, as the wheat our grandparents and ancestors ate.
It's been genetically modified, ( dwarfed) so it's easier to harvest, more resistant to viruses, contains less nutrients and contain more gluten.
The phytates in the wheat are indigestible,making the trace vitamins present unusable.
If we reduce or cut out wheat, grains and sugar, we would definitely be much more healthier.
But who wants to do that right? They taste so yummy.

😱pen_mouth:

I like Pies..

I do too… :wink:

I had one today, I think it was called villis, was very tasty.

Gosh, some people in here talking about GF as being a fad or a hoax, like experts.

Some people don't tolerate gluten well, to the point of disease, but it's a spectrum. Avoiding it is not necessarily a bad thing, there are plenty of replacement foods.

The wheat and processed grain foods leave you feeling tired and lethargic. Much like you get tipsy after two beers if you have had a month off the grog, Tigers played like they had eaten a kebab 5 mins before kick off

If so they should do so more often. The only game where we could relax and enjoy without worrying about a score blow out by the opposition. I think no pizzas 24 hours before a game. Untoasted kebabs are okay as bread is not dry and nutritional burnt out, as they have virtually no fat I feel okay and ready for action afterwards. Just nothing too heavy before the game. They could even try a raw meat kebab as they are amongst the highest protein food around.

You guys are too much. :laughing:

That's because it is completely overblown. It's not a spectrum. Coeliac disease is a genetic condition - you have it (or are developing it) or you don't. Less than 1% of the population have the genetic condition. Outside of that there is a small % (again less than 1%) that show demonstrable reactions to products containing gluten. Whether they are actually reacting to gluten or other substances generally found alongside it has not been established. There are also people with wheat allergies but that's specifically wheat & the mechanism for the adverse reaction is known.

The benefits that most people get or perceive from going gluten free, or reducing gluten, would be psychosomatic. So yes, to that extent it is a fad.

I've actually totally overlooked a positive

Keep losing and our major sponsors next season can be Pizza Hut and Tooheys or XXXX

Or perhaps Jenny Craig or AA

Sorry Buckets I've totally underestimated your brilliance …............

I heard we've already fielded offers from Crust Pizza and Corona.

I can't reveal my source though, maybe Tiger Torch can shed some light ?

Poor old TigerTorch spends the four days following a loss trying to shed the weight of the 11 pieces of supreme pizza that Woodsy ate

Who ate all the pizza …......... :laughing: , not Warney , maybe Woodsy

Another rumour floating around..

Upon hearing about our new Pizza and beer diet, George Rose's manager has approached the club about a possible link up before the June 30 deadline.

Apparently Pizza Hut is going to supply the TPA.

Thoughts ? I reckon he would offer more then Buchanan.

There's a lot of people taking BS on here. As a Coeliac for the past 8 years, I know the arguments both ways.

Gluten takes several times longer to digest than gluten free foods. That goes for everyone, not just coeliacs. It's the nature of that grain. The human body can take a long time to breakdown these process gluten containing cereals, several weeks in some cases. This can lead to feelings of sluggishness as your body is spending valuable resources trying to break down this sticky substance.

So it's wrong to say there's no benefit at all to those who aren't coeliacs. There is. Whether it's worth a drastic change of diet (and it must be maintained to have any significant benefit) and the money involved is a question for the individual. Everyone could cut down on gluten a bit to give their gut a break from time to time.

It is mostly the bread which is an issue in terms of quality. The GF pizzas you get from Dominos are quite comparable to those from other restaurants, much to my surprise. Being GF will basically cut down on your ability to have junk food, for everything there is a comparable substitute. You tend to have a lot more fresh meat and veggies, and GF pasta etc.

There's also very decent GF beer available in most bottleshops (O'Briens Pale Ale) so if the boys want to have pizza and beer they could even do so while maintaining a GF diet!

I would downplay the 'powerplay' angle of all this, it's about creating balance which is something we've lacked. Involving players in the process is a good thing.

Really? Several weeks to process? Sticky substance? Pseudoscience right there mate. As a coeliac it might take you several weeks to stop feeling the effects of gluten, but that's because it triggers an immune response in you.

Eating crap can make you feel sluggish & some crap food contains gluten. That does not mean that gluten is responsible for making you feel sluggish. If it worked the way you're suggesting it'd be the number one diet food on the planet - eat it and feel full for weeks while burning calories trying to process the damn stuff!

I understand the science of it - the problem is you are talking about only demonstrable gluten issues, when there is a whole population of quasi-demonstrable but no less real non-coeliac gluten sensitivities (NCGS).

NCGS is not < 1% of the population, it is as much as 14% in some countries (Molina-Infante J, Santolaria S, Montoro M, Esteve M, Fernández-Bañares F (2014). "[Non-celiac gluten sensitivity: a critical review of current evidence] [Article in Spanish]". Gastroenterol Hepatol 37 (6): 362–71)

Even coeliac disease, the prevalence has gone from something like 0.03% in the 1970s to 1% today.

Just because it is not well understood does not mean you can dismiss it. I am absolutely in support of the scientific deconstruction of quack and pseudoscientific therapies and conditions (things like homeopathy), but currently there is not enough research to summarily dismiss any gluten-related issue that is not coeliac disease or wheat allergy.

 

[Eddie]

Good cure for insomniacs reading this stuff about diets.

 

[stryker]

Who gives a crap about the benefits of the diet…

The fact remains that buckets publically showed up the head coach which could cause further problems we don't need in regards of respect amongst the group.

Complete and utter dik move. If he keeps this crap up he should be sacked before he does too much damage.

 

[Eddie]

Buckets is the boss stryker.

He is the Director of all Football Operations. He is like a general Manager.

He will have the main role in Signings, Programming, Coaching and everything football.

Taylor is answerable to him as Head Coach

We created this position as a club.

Buckers is not undermining anyone here he is the boss….

Even still , it should of been kept in house IMO

Why does the world need to know what food the players eat ??

 

[stryker]

^ exactly…why did this become a story?
He could have made this decision but let Taylor get the credit so that the players still thought he was in charge even if it was only for appearances.

We don't need every bloody decision this club makes become a full page story each week.

 

[stevetiger]

I reckon this shouldn't have been written about as well. I also hope Buckets didn't start off by placating the players and undermining Taylor.
