EVEN IF it is eventually shown that harmful gut bacteria is a cause of obesity, doctors can prescribe strong antibiotics that kill it, and then probiotics to replace it. My daughter consumed something in Indonesia that made her very ill, and we had to go through a gut bacteria replacement treatment protocol. Killed her gut…

You don't find time. You make time. I know, just a simple change of words, but it's more a change in mind set. You start getting up at 5. If you say "Oh, I'm not willing to do that," then realize that there's time you could be using to exercise, but you aren't. You replace the time spent watching TV with a walk or run. If…

You have to be careful about the flavored vapes. Popcorn lung really sucks. Vaping's great.

An extra-super-secret special forces terrorist killer. He's dead now.

Anything that isn't strength training, or a tough cardio session, can be considered "active rest." Back when I was at my fittest, I did some form of fitness-related activity every day of the week. Now that I'm getting fit again after a break, I am back to some form of fitness-related activity every day of the week. As for…

I wonder how many people who say "I got the flu anyway" went to the doctor and were diagnosed with influenza. Most of the time, when people think they have the flu, they really have either norovirus, rotavirus, one of the enteroviruses, or one of the thousand variations of rhinovirus. I've had Influenza A before. It was so…

"Sabotage" is the biggest load of hooey that dieters feed themselves. It removes all the blame for when these dieters fail. Which leads to far less success. All he wanted to do is bake some cookies to take to a pot luck. What did you plan to do at the potluck, get upset at everyone who brought something made with cheese or…

Eat more foods that taste gross cooked, and fewer foods that taste yummy cooked. I guess eat a lot of fruits and salads and steak tartare.

Tone of voice on the internet is generally inferred. I didn't read any posts with any particularly rude tone. I did read a couple posts with a distinct offended tone, but pretty sure I inferred much of that.

Unless you're already super fit and working toward some goal that mandates you shave off 30 seconds from your already impressive 5K speed, or you're at a low body weight and trying to gain that last pre-competition bit of muscle or lose that last bit of water weight to look stage ready, it doesn't matter at all. Don't bog…

I NEVER wear them to the gym, and I never leave them in the car. I had my car broken into while at the gym, and that really sucked. If you feel naked without a ring, get a Qalo.

Back to the topic of eating in NYC at night. Do you really want to eat anything other than the best pizza you ever put in your mouth? Patsy's in East Harlem is so good it almost hurts to eat it. Sit down, go to Grimaldi's under the Brooklyn Bridge or to the one on 20th and 6th Ave. Or Joe's or Lombardi's. You get the idea.…

10 pounds of what? I'm certain it wouldn't be fat. Or lasting.

I think it opens you up to seeing lots of things you may not want to see.

Your reasoning is so circular that it's almost impossible to even comprehend what it is you're trying to convey. Seriously, everything I've ever seen you post is designed to do nothing but confuse new people and frustrate the rest of us.

I have to second a lot of what Sunny says with respect to steroid and chemo weight. It's three treatments. You need your energy right now, so if you go into a deficit, make sure you are eating enough high nutrition foods. Don't take any vitamins without oncologist approval. When you come off the steroids, the weight will…

Questions based on slippery slopes rarely concern themselves with the whys or the hows.

I think the greatest thing that has been done done through genetic modification is the development of Golden Rice. It was genetically modified to include beta carotene, in other words Vitamin A, a nutrient that is sorely lacking in many third-world countries, which tend to be major rice consumers. Golden Rice could save…

Interestingly, a lot of the myths surrounding cross-pollination of GMO soy into adjacent farms comes from a case that didn't even involve soybeans. It was a case involving canola. Canola pollen, unlike soy pollen, can blow for several miles. And even in the case involving canola, the court found that the farmer engaged in…

Man. Lawyers suck the fun out of everything.

Touché

IMO, a lot of the things that used to be taboo and thought of as alternative fetish lifestyles have become mainstream. Now, the difference between what someone might consider "vanilla" and a second person considers a "fetish" is a matter of perception and semantics. I mean, really, is tying up and spanking really still…

Chicken breast, extra lean pork loin, Greek yogurt, apples, cheese sticks, high fiber protein bars, eggs, egg whites, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers. Everything else can vary because I love variety. But the above are the basics on which I build everything else.

Hot Dog Heaven

Is there a group for mostly vanillas? Maybe for vanillas with a cherry on top for when they're feeling 'venturous? Seriously, for those who are inclined to categorize themselves and/or meet others with the same sort of sexual proclivities, it's nice that they have a place to gather and converse about the merits of the…

If you're a complete novice, you can add muscle and lose fat at roughly the same time. Even in a deficit. What you won't see are size increases. You're not going to end up with bigger legs or arms in a deficit. But you can definitely recomposition. Given your comment about doing sit-ups and getting a flatter stomach, I'm…

I'd be really surprised if someone told you they were anything other than useless products. Unless, you know, it's someone selling these useless products.

I thought gas was just a normal thing for all men. Unless it is really troubling or painful, go with it.

With costumes!

The people in this thread would lose their *kitten* in a Japanese onsen. I've never been clothed in a sauna. Just a towel. Me and just some random naked stranger lady never even made eye contact except that one second she asked me if I wanted any steam on the hot rocks.
