are lectins another word for leprechauns? because they sound kind of like it.
"the lectin leprechauns came overnight and cleaned up the m&ms mess". if they're just some kind of hormone or micronutrient, i don't think i want to know.

I googled out of curiosity and found this: http://www.precisionnutrition.com/all-about-lectins
It looked pretty interesting, until right down near the bottom, where I found:The “Blood Type Diet” is based on how our blood cells react with lectins in foods.
In all honesty, I'm no expert. I may never have heard of lectins before today, but bringing up the Blood Type diet pretty much sets my 'woo alarm' screaming.16 -

I have come to believe that it was lectins on the grassy knoll.17 -
Joking aside, this is pretty decent on the lectins thing, as well as showing a possible source (I believe Mercola is all over lectins (or the alleged horrors of them) these days):

Me, I think some lentil stew or even a salad with some fresh tomatoes is probably not actually unhealthy or at the root of the current obesity epidemic. Nor is the fact we eat clementines in December (I do, anyway!).8 -

I think bread and grains, soy and corn are probably the worst. Problem is they are ubiquitous in most prepared foods and very hard to get away from, even in meat and dairy products as these make up the feed these animaks are given, so the offending lectins get into the end product. Pastured products are the only way to avoid them as much as possible in meat and dairy. Also why farmed fish should be avoided as well.
Sourdough bread manages to destroy most the lectins due to fermentation, though not perfect, it's far better than other forms of bread in this regard.
There are also supplements that help block the undesirable lectins and keep them in your gut. I've used Lectin Lock with very good results (as seen with vastly improved insulin response and low blood sugar levels), but there is one I tried almost identical to that one, but had pepsin in it..... pepsin was a really big mistake. It causes silent reflux, and believe me, no one wants that.32 -

I swear the majority of the comments I see from people somehow revolve around why everything in the world is causing them to be overweight - except that they eat more than they burn.
My mother swears that the only reason I was able to lose 55 lbs. is because I don't have children and therefore have all the time in the world to devote to losing weight. She thinks that, if you have kids, you default to eating a lot of crap and not moving very much, and this is what ALL people with children are faced with ALL THE TIME and can NEVER change their lifestyle.
The same thing with “dadbod” advocates. If you are a dad and love your children, then you must spend all of your free time with your children and can’t possibly be expected to take care of yourself. As if sacrificing your own wellness is benefitting your family. Most dads I know have plenty of time to watch their favorite Netflix programs, play golf, attend sporting events, manage a fantasy football team, take long lunches at work, etc., it is just a matter of prioritizing what matters.
It seemed to be the dad bod thing was started/fueled by some insecure sorority girl blogger. Googled and think this is the article.
https://www.theodysseyonline.com/dad-bod
Dad bod: "I go to the gym occasionally, but I also drink heavily on the weekends and enjoy eating eight slices of pizza at a time."
But, to me, those three guys in the picture:- Don't look old enough to be dads
- Don't look like they ever go to the gym
<shrugs>There are some things I just don't understand and I'm fine with that.
I think the picture for the article was associated with this line: "The dad bod is a new trend and fraternity boys everywhere seem to be rejoicing." I guess it is considered a dadbod if you are dumpy, regardless of if it results from neglecting yourself to take care of kids or from eating a lot of pizza/chicken wings/cheeseburgers and drinking a lot of beer in college...
dumpy???? wow body shame much.
you know there are lots who like that look or prefer it to something else.
and again who says they are neglecting themselves...dad bod doesn't mean they don't follow a fitness regime it just means they don't care to get down to a certain BF%...
I've been a gym member for years and have 2 20 something sons. I know what a 20 something that doesn't have a fitness regime looks like and those guys in the picture don't Maybe they bop in the university rec center for a few sets of curls before the weekend and to ogle the coeds but that's about it.
Also a couple of my unpopular thoughts on health and fitness:
Embracing the "dad bod" is embracing mediocrity
Commenting on pictures posted on the internet (i.e. the guys in the picture look dumpy, plus size models, models that look too thin, etc) is not body shaming. These individuals are choosing to put their pictures out in public, expecting some reaction. Too bad if it's not the one they hope for.
I don't agree with this. There are many reasons someone may choose that look. They may prefer that look and find themselves attractive like that. They could be realistic about their priorities, expectations, where they want to focus their attention, and what they are willing to live with. Their partner may find it attractive. Their athletic interests could be elsewhere and not tied to aesthetics....etc. No single body shape defines mediocrity.
Following the CDC recommended 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, and 2 strength training sessions a week targeting major muscle groups, along with not overeating will improve most guys health and get them away from the dad bod look.
Being healthy should be a priority, as opposed to binge watching Game of Thrones, long sessions of video games, etc. This may be another one of my unpopular heath and fitness opinions.
This is the only part that matters.
Make note of the man in my profile picture. He weighs 250 lbs and got that way by skipping just the bolded part of your quoted CDC advice.
OH, and he's me, 2 years and 20 lbs back.

I'd prefer for parents, use stroller's that has their child facing them; eye contact/interaction's very important! Otherwise how's that count, as spending quality time; with your child?
It depends on the child's age - a 2 or 3-year-old would definitely be more interested in viewing the path ahead.
The quality time is in the sharing of the running experience, not necessarily staring at dad for an hour.

You should stretch after at least
And if you are resting that day, you should at least stretch
And on stretching being dangerous, it's going to be one of those things that is determined to be Bs in the next decade

You seem confused. LCHF improves insulin production and kidney function and satiety with a reduced requirement for aggressive calorie counting/monitoring
HIIT improves VO2MAX in a measurable way in 15 minutes a day over 3-6 weeks in a way that LSD doesn't.
Over the past 15 years, I've had great success with each of them in turn.
That being said. Neither is magic.

Respectfully (truly), I think you've been reading about HIIT in sources aimed at weight loss, or general-consumer fitness, rather than in sources concerned with athletic training for specific competitive sports.
There's nothing wrong with being mostly interested in weight loss and general fitness, but most of what's written about HIIT there is trendy nonsense.
In training for certain sports, it's more likely - IME only, based on my sport - that HIIT is not so much compared with LISS and other intensities, as put in a context where one uses each of these as components of an overall training program, often a periodized plan, with different roles and purposes for each.
It's not, IMO, about how long you go, how hard you go, or how long you go hard . . . it's about how intelligently you use various intensities of cardiovascular training, types of strength training, nutrition, technique training, and, yes, stretching to achieve your own personal goals, whether they involve weight loss, general fitness, performance in a specific sport, or any other physical/health goal(s) you may choose.
Comparing programs without reference to their underlying objectives? Kinda silly.
BTW, are you using 80% by HRR method or pure percent of max when you say "steady state at 80%"? For me, there's a fairly significant difference between the two.14 -

Neither is BS. They both do exactly what they're designed and intended to do.
Yeah convince people they can and should consume all the animal products they want Aaannnnd get ripped in just 14mins a day...
I no it's contradictory to the latest fitness trends created by marketing companies but I call Bs
You seem confused. LCHF improves insulin production and kidney function and satiety with a reduced requirement for aggressive calorie counting/monitoring
HIIT improves VO2MAX in a measurable way in 15 minutes a day over 3-6 weeks in a way that LSD doesn't.
Over the past 15 years, I've had great success with each of them in turn.
That being said. Neither is magic.
Aw, man, it would have been soooo groovy to get awesome fitness results from LSD.
