    Boiling: Put the rutabaga pieces in a pot of boiling water with a small amount of stevia or honey to taste. Cooking time is approximately 10 minutes.

    Mashing: Fill a pot with water, put in the rutabagas and a bit of salt and let it boil. Once cooked, drain the chunks and use a potato masher to mash them evenly. Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon or a few tablespoons of raw butter to taste.

    you will know they are cooked as a knife will go through with ease,

    Microwave= Cut the rutabagas into 1-inch cubes. Microwave the rutabagas on high for 6 to 9 minutes, or until the rutabagas are easily pierced with a fork.
    lovey mashed with salt pepper i suppose you could try garlic or cinnamon too

    hope this helps

    i think it best to not think of them as breakfast, lunch, snack etc. just meals 1,2, 3 and post workout etc
    i would have post wrkt meal then another meal 3 hrs later

    Hi swprince85,

    My understanding of this is complete your 1st set of 8-10 reps with your chosen weight using the rest pause principal if needed, on the next set of this exercise the 4 reps increase the dumbbell weight again if you can and use the rest pause if needed, then increase your dumbbell weight again for the third set of 2 reps using the rest pause if needed. So hopefully you will of increased your weight 3 times over that exercise.
    good luck with the challenge
    Donna
