Alright guys, good work today. I'll meet you back at the secret bully group in an hour for milk and graham crackers.
make it pop tarts and ice cream and I'm in like a dirty shirt
wait. "In like a dirty shirt"? What does this mean?
I have to admit, I'd rather have cookies and ice cream.

Come sit by me. My shirt is clean and I have both cookies and ice cream.
(also my hair is clean too and smells nice. Irrelevant but I'm throwing that out there anyway)

Graham crackers and cow's milk?? I was told there would be gluten free cookies and rice milk! This is an outrage. Do I look like a baby cow or a baby graham to you?
Hey - do I look like a baby cracker?
...yes?0 -

OP, your supposed "expert advice" is always wrong. You have no clue what you're talking about, then you go and start a thread like this. You asked for it.

Only if you eat them with a protein.Alright guys, good work today. I'll meet you back at the secret bully group in an hour for milk and graham crackers.
No way - the carbs will make us all fat!
OT: if you want to vent about things, there is a blog available on this site and you can say (mostly) whatever you want and police the comments so you don't have to deal with anyone arguing/disagreeing with you. Or just yell at your stuffed animals. That's what I do.

Just a quick rant here. There seem to be quite a few people who peruse the forums simply looking for someone to argue with. It's not a very intelligent decision if you attack someone who actually knows what they are talking about, because if you would just listen and learn, you might find ways to be healthier. The internet is full of trash blogs and studies that are completely inaccurate. In order to find the best information, you need to stick to medical websites, or talk to those who are experts in the field, or have a lot of training and education.
I myself work in the medical field and have for many years. I've studied diet and fitness as well, independently of my job, for college courses and for my own benefit. Just because someone tells you something in a forum, please don't assume they know what they are talking about. Please take the time to ask them what their expertise is in the area about which you are receiving information and advice.
Exhibit A of the first sentence of her post.
stop assuming that you are the only one that knows what they are talking about just because you work in the medical field. a lot of individuals have outdated knowledge0 -

Good lord, I'm surrounded by ignorance.
Girl, we always take that chance when posting on here and I have learned that myself.
I'm not too judgmental as a lot are on here, and tend to give those the benefit of the doubt and understand sometimes when we are trying to express ourselves online it may come across different than what we are really trying to convey.
But, by posting our thoughts, opinions, and ideals we open ourselves to a world of *kitten* kicking because it seems here and other places, there are a lot of strong personalities! lol.. Me included! LOL
I, for one wasn't offended, but then again I'm pretty laid back, secure with myself, and try not to let strangers get to me that way. Not saying I won't fall off and cuss ya out in the future as in real life I'm no nonsense and a bit of a hot head, but do try and be open minded towards others who think differently.
So all hope isn't lost. I'm here and I'm sure others are like me who do not offend easily.
And no disrespect to anyone. I'm just being me.0 -

I thought you needed a Godwin's Law for Bingo? Or is that just on what used to pass for forums' on Etsy? Something about flailing about crafter's arbitrary Nazi references made it a given.0 -

A bit late in...
(Please read in the voice from the beggining of the original "The Prisoner" series._At this point I find myself wondering why any of you are even on this website.
I am here for INFORMATION.
I want to be 'supported' by, as your initial post suggests, useful information.
If I provide information that is incorrect, has been superseeded by new evidence or the like I do want people to be "supportive", I want them to clearly explain why I I'm incorrectly informed.
So, of course the first thing when I saw your first post here was to have a look at what information you are offering.
So, in response to a 114lb female trying to gain weight who is actually losing, you reply:
First off, yes muscle at rest does require more calories than fat. But a very small amount. At the high end, maybe 10 calories per pound. When compared to fat, we're talking 2-6 calories per pound more than fat. So if she lost 20lb of fat and put on 20lb of muscle (a massive amount), we'd be talking no more than 120 calories extra and quite possibly a lot less.As you build muscle your metabolism will increase, as muscle even at rest requires more than fat does. This is one of the issues with BMI calculators, they don't always account for muscle mass vs. fat mass. if you are eating bad stuff that is high in sugar this could be affecting your metabolism as well. Try to hit your calories using healthier foods like whole-grain pastas, breads and brown rice, as well as plenty of lean protein like chicken or 93/7 beef.
I would suggest mentioning this was a red herring and confusing.
Then you talk about sugar. Can make a bit of a difference to some, but she says she's working out a lot, so I expect this would apply:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/the-science-of-nutrition-is-a-carb-a-carb.html
(It cites numerous studies by the way.)For your body composition, it doesn’t matter if a carb is classified as simple or complex or if it has a high or low glycemic or insulin load or index. Only the total amount of carbs in your diet matters and this only matters because carbs contain calories.
For your health, the source of carbs is only relevant if you’re unhealthy. If you’re already healthy, it generally doesn’t matter.
You also mention 'healthy foods' - a particular bug bear of mine.
Personally, I don't see how any one food (perhaps about from something strongly poisonous) can be 'unhealthy' or 'healthy'.
All foods can be consumed as 'part of a healthy lifestyle' in appropriate moderation and not have negative affects.
So, from my point of view, your first post should certainly be taken with a big dollop of "thy who is without sin..."
This is one reason I generally do do my own research, often reading the studies cited (or not) when trying to improve knowledge.
No; I do not post this to 'make you feel small' - if anything, I'm strongly agreeing with the point in your first post, which amuses me. 0 -

^This. So much this. Plus, I remember the last time someone claimed to work in the medical field and gave some crap advice, it turned out they just did data entry.
Then there was the guy who was a trainer, then bodyguard, then Nurse...and that last one was scary as hell to claim as he was also suggesting people PM for medical advice.
So OP....Bonjour is all I'm going to say to you on that. :laugh:0 -

I hope you are happy. I had to go to the store and get graham crackers. But I eat them with peanut butter so the protien cancels out the carbs and makes it calorie free. The milk acts as a buffer.
I'm not sure as to what but "acts like a buffer" always sounds all scientifical.0 -
mccindy, how about a link to this alledged "Attack"...usually it is someone (you) being too sensitive.
My guess? It's here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1156847-i-m-really-frustrated-with-how-to-eat-to-lose-fat
Specifically, where she speaks about lengthening muscles and such.

Oh dear god. First yoga and now pilates can "lengthen" your muscles...Bwahahaha. Who knew genetics could so easily be overridden????

But since you ate fat, protein, and carbs, the carbs are going to turn to fat, according to mccindy. Careful.0 -
