Training block of my life with Ugali

There's nothing magical about it, you would've had similar results if you started eat more rice instead.

Explain to me then my Chinese are terrible at distance running?

Ugali is a type of corn meal made from maize or corn flour in several countries in Africa. It is cooked in boiling water or milk until it reaches a stiff or firm dough-like consistency.

I am surprised that Americans are not better at running because corn flour is a staple in their diet.

Grits, dummy.

Big Ugali is quietly invading our forums and lives.

In the South we call them grits.

Congratulations on your "discovery".

I prefer injera.

That looks absolutely delicious.

I'd eat that.

It looks like a big ball of dough. I hope there’s cheese inside

But after coming out of jail everything looks delicious I would guess.

Hahah omg

Ethiopian food is actually really good though.

I was thinking the same lines a few years ago and gave Ugali a shot.

First, the corn flour they use in Kenya is much different than corn meal here according to accounts of East Africans who came this country, and I believe it is coarser. I looked around and found that Bobs Redmill makes a coarse corn meal and gave that a shot. It tasted okay, didn't notice any benefits though. Malmo is probably onto something there with Grits.

Along the same lines, after Usain Bolt won a race in the Olympics, they cut to his father and when asked why his son was so fast, he said it was due to the Yams he was fed growing up, so I gave that a try, too. It was an adventure tracking them down, finding a market that sold it locally, preparing it and giving it a taste test.

Agreed. I had it for dinner last night.

Wait until Ma Junren hears you say that.

his runners broke world records eating rice, so clearly it’s just as effective as Ugali.
