Yeah I had hip surgery in March and these restrictions sucked. They were important but soooo hard to comply with, especially with sleeping. But even harder was not being able to lean forward while sitting - I could have no less than 90° between my legs and my trunk.
I had to really watch these positional restrictions for the first four weeks. After that I could ease back into a more full range of motion, but only to my comfort level (in other words, I couldn’t push anything and had to take it slooooowly). No running or jumping for the first 12 weeks. But now I can pretty much do anything I want. I do still have pain sometimes if I sleep in a weird position or if I go too hard in the gym, but more or less I’m back to normal. Certainly I’m better than before surgery!
My problem was called a femoroacetabular impingement, which is a congenital overgrowth of bone at the neck of the femur. It limited my range of motion (e.g., squatting was difficult) and led to a torn labrum (hip cartilage). The surgery was to sew the labrum back together and pin it down, and shave down the bone overgrowth. They did it all arthroscopically. I’m really glad I had it done, even though recovery was frustrating!
I talked a little more about recovery here if you’re interested.
Hmmm, it being wrapped in a flat usually indicates being repackaged from larger foodservice sized containers, which my own experience with West Virginia food desert grocery stores has led me to understand is common in some areas.
I’d expect fresh ground to be oily-er too, enough that stocking it upright like that wouldn’t be a great idea.
The sad part about palm oil (other than environmental) is, it blocks the taste of most foods. It's too heavy. Things just taste greasy and almost flavorless.
This was my biggest complaint about an abroad stint in the Netherlands — all the peanut butter* was JIF style/huge ingredient list. Agree completely — only acceptable ingredients are peanuts and salt.
The beer wasn’t all my style, but I could certainly appreciate it.
*“pindakaas” literally “peanut cheese,” I think because “butter” is reserved for dairy products.
I’m sure there are, but they were not available at Jumbo (or any of the other stores I went to). In the US, I generally find them at any store I go to (a long with JIF, etc. of course) — I never have to “look hard enough” to find it.
I haven’t been to the Netherlands in a while either, but at Albert Heijn they had PB made from peanuts only, and I remember there being several brands that were like this. Miles better than in other parts of Europe.
2% or less of added oils. I get natty PB as well but it’s not quite as good as a bad food. I’m 6’3” and 195 at near 40 years old, my diet is fine. Jif is probably the “worst” thing I enjoy regularly. I still maintain it’s the best PB of the commercially produced varieties.
The package isn't resealable, either. That's just shady, pricing it so high, and making the consumer pay more for resealable packaging is just next-level greed.
For confused folks, no this is not how Canadians package their peanut butter, although yes the milk bags are real, IIRC this is actually a thing that happens in the Carribbean for locally packaged peanut butter because it’s cheaper than the jars are in the US and Canada.
That spreadable Kerrygold is just unnecessary. Especially if it’s warm out. Whatever they’ve done to it it must just be worse than the regular Kerrygold.
