    Please send your questions to DaveScott@BodyHealth.com.

    Dear Dave,
    I recall years back the stories about what you ate. Washing cottage cheese, etc. What is your current diet? What would be a typical breakfast, lunch, dinner snacks? I notice from the photos that you still look very lean and very fit and at least 15 years younger that you are. Do you count calories? Do you keep track of your body fat percentage? Your insights in this area would be very helpful.

    Thanks,
    Carl

    Carl, Here's a quick update:
    1. I have not eaten cottage cheese for 22 years! Rinsing reduced the sodium and fat content and ABC was seemingly was interested in this odd behavior. I've been labeled by the telecast for 22 years!!


    Update from Captain Ed (wounded in Iraq)


    BioBuilde continues to amaze me. I have had my cast off for a little more than a month and after a couple of weeks taking it easy after the cast came off, I am now back to close to 100% after only 3 full weeks of working out. I am surely not where I'd like to be with respect to my overall strength and endurance, but I am getting closer every day.

    I can do over 15 pull-ups and close to 60 push-ups after only 3 weeks of full-tilt working out on my injured arm. Only two weeks ago, I could barely muster 30 to 35 pushups at max effort. I can now do close to 60 in one set, and have seen my overall body strength increase with each passing week.


    Question about BioBuilde Usage


    Recently while riding my bicycle, I had a tangle with car. It won. I've got some injuries and want to know how much BioBuilde to take to help with my recovery? My weight is 120 pounds. I am taking 5 tablets twice a day. Is this enough? Should I take more? What will help me recover the fastest?

    Thanks,
    S.W.

    Dear S.W,
    The recommended dose of BioBuilde as a supplement is 1-1.5 tablets per 40 pounds a day. This is the minimum amount..

    The therapeutic dose is 1 tablet per 5.5 pounds of body weight (7.3 per 40 lbs) per day with a maximum of 30 tablets per day. This is the amount needed for total replacement of daily protein needs. This is the suggested amount for maximum healing and recovery.

    Your weight is 120 pounds. At one tablet per 5.5 pounds you would take = 22 tablets per day as a maximum. So you are well below that and probably would get an even better effect if you . . .


    Team BioBuilde's Cherie Gruenfeld does it again


    The 2006 racing season for me was an athlete's worst nightmare. A bike crash in the spring resulted in injuries that kept me grounded through the fall. My physical activity was very limited, but the one thing I continued was my BioBuilde regime hoping to be strong when the time came to get back.

    In late October I started a Base Building program and set my sights on Ironman Arizona in April '07.

    A Lesson in Overcoming

    by Luis Alvarez

    I won Ironman Arizona 2007! Yes, I won the Ironman, and before I tell you how I did it let me leave you with this phrase: "A man is not finished when he is defeated, he is finished when he quits."

    Only five minutes left to start Ironman Arizona, I jumped into the water to get a good spot at the start line and Ouch!!! I hit the rocks. I felt a big pain on the bottom of my right foot and ankle. It felt bad and it started to swell right away.

    My first thought was to quit but then I thought that the cold water could fix the swollen ankle during the 2.4 miles that the swimming will last and then I could take care of the other injuries. The gun went off and I began swimming . . .

    Upon running to the transition I new that the injuries on my feet and ankles were worse than I thought. I didn't dare pay much attention to them and began cycling. The foot pain was bearable but significant. I was worried though about what would happen on the run. . .
