    I would think outdoor temperature may be a factor also.

    I live in the North East of England so almost always cold.

    @MeanderingMammal You might like his subject and be able to add some insight?

    I know running on the beach is harder too, because of the non-resistance of sand. Mud would be similar.
  • yeah definitely temperature can be a contributory factor even if it's just emotional reaction. the gym being a temperature controlled consistsntly more pleasant environment and all.... has anyone used one of the newer simulation treadmills?

    After enough crazy people manage to kill their children. Then maybe the kinesthetic diet Dogma will too.100 years of studies demonstrating this is literally a chikd killer shoul be enouth.

    Ok I'm not a keto follower or even a big fan of the diet for anyone who doesn't have a medical reason to restrict carbs - but calling it "literally a child killer" seems to be a reach. Can you clarify? What studies are you referring to? Why are children impacted?

    here is one example :

    https://www.thepaleomom.com/adverse-reactions-to-ketogenic-diets-caution-advised/

    I so don't want to get sucking bsck into negative back and thoth here. .. im sure sone one will cry BS as that's easy ... but 100 years of experience id there for you. Starting as a originally a treatment for children with epilepsy. So this has killed slot of young children and cause needles suffering.

    I'm not a fan of keto either, but seriously? "thepaleomom"? Do you have any real sources?

    Please read this, it will teach you how to find scientific proof and ignore the click bait sites you keep posting.

    Many thanks @diannethegeek for the hard work
  • Thank you for braking that up... really thank you i needed that so much
  • A friend of a friend had a good unpopular opinion about protein shake and the "anabolic window".... we all thought she was nuts. ... she said you had to drink with im 5 minutes of starting your cool down AND any longer would limit effectiveness of the supplementation.

    where does it say in the community guidelines that all posts have to be backed up by independently verified peer reviewed studies? These are ridiculous and unrealistic expectations fot iterest chat.

    This is the debate section... people tend to want sources to know what arguments they're up against and if there is a scientific basis to a claim.

    If the sources provided are not convincing on a scientific level, it will be pointed out and the argument disregarded until proper sources are provided.

    Also, if someone makes a claim (like keto diets kill children) then it's up to that person to back that claim up. This means learning to wet your sources. The link to diannethegeek's post is a good starting point to learn how to do that.


    Edit: I hate autocorrect...

    Stating source are ike quoting statistics just having thrm didn't automatically validate your points judt like not having them should not automatically mean the point is completely invsiladated... and OMG the title of this thread is "What are your unpopular opinions about health / fitness?" You can't resonable demand sources for this.

    Says can't demand source, yet posts sources like "thepaleomom". SMH, another misinformed mouth breather
  • Now your just calling me rude manes "another misinformed mouth breather".... well if it makes you feel better.

    Mean while. .... there was s guy in my running group who said to anyone who woukd listen that. .. running of a treadmill burnt off more energy then running outside....... interesting. ... thoughts? At first i thought no..... but you could see how it could work.

    Not because of outside vs. inside.

    I use treadmills to practice hill running (where I live it is flat) or speed intervals, so perhaps if something like that.

    I think treadmill on 0 at the same speed is less work (although not such a difference I think it matters).

    Treadmills for me are mainly a necessarily evil if I need to do some hills or weather is terrible (as it has been here).
  • God's sake I've tried to change the subject twice now time to just let it go....
