  • Around here people mostly use fresh mackerel to catch better fish. But for some reason you can also buy it canned.
  • So barely anyone from further east than Ontario. No wonder Harper thinks we're all dumb and lazy out here.
  • Have you tries the Migraine tailored OTC pain meds? Tylenol Ultra contains 50mg of caffeine per tab, which many people find is effective at reducing migraine.
  • Probably stress related headaches from being unable to deal with the school structure. Otherwise, having to sit in the back to be "cool" meant he had to strain to see the board. Both of those were issues with illness and headaches during my school years. Or he's just lazy.
  • grapefuit comes in cans?
  • http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012/07/24/3549931.htm Disregard. As soon as I posted it I found reference to it.
  • When I was a kid, we didn't have a lot of money so we ate out of the pantry a lot. A lot of canned pastas and beans and vegetables. Now that I'm an adult, and the whole world is clamoring about locally grown this and that, I find that I rarely keep any canned foods in the house, with the exception of tuna and cat food…
  • calorie burn is the same either way, assuming the order you do it in doesn't limit your performance. If cardio wipes you out so you can only half heartedly lift, or vice versa, then that's the wrong way for you to do it.
  • They're all more or less the same, in my experience. Peanuts is peanuts. I like ones with Peanuts and salt, otherwise it tastes a little flat.
  • Like, you ate low calorie wraps instead of more calorie dense foods?
  • are you worrying about your macros too much? As long as you're eating fewer calories than you're expending, and getting enough protein to enable your body to repair itself, your macros can move to what you need. Some people feel hungry all day if they eat high carbs, low fat. Some people are the opposite. The main reason…
  • Welcome back. You're on the last leg of your journey. Clearly you already know what you're doing, so keep doing it! Snacks can be as easy as picking up a bag of baby carrots from the cooler at the grocery store. I get one of those and when I get the urge to go to the vending machine for a candy bar, force myself to drink…
  • Safety bar inside cage. Are you referring to a smith machine type thing, or a special bar inside a squat rack? Anything that uses a machine to guide your motions isn't going to help with a bad back, because it doesn't encourage precise form, and you won't recruit your stabilizers, just your big movers. That's actually a…
  • Other factors can affect your thyroid levels. It's possible, but not entirely probably, that you were misdiagnosed. If I were you, I'd see your doctor (or get a new one if you're uncomfortable with yours, as you seem to think she's not working in your best interest) and ask to be tested again. Before being tested, however,…
  • Being a healthy weight doesn't mean your thyroid is ok. If your thyroid is severely damaged by an autoimmune disorder (hashimotos, etc) then it's like trying to expect a car engine with three blown cylinders to work like new if you touch up the paint. Get your TSH/T4 levels checked regularly as your doctor recommends and…
  • I'm 37, and just figured out that I need to lose around 50lbs to hit 17% bodyfat. That's my goal to hit before I'm 40. As soon as I hit it, I'm going to look into some new rock climbing equipment, as that's always been a side interest of mine, but I've always been too heavy to really be as good as I want.
  • Thats a known and documented response that the name of I cannot recall. Oral processing time, perhaps? Snack makers actually design around that. For example, puffed corn snacks like Cheetos, generate a certain mouth feel such that your satiation response is severely dulled. Thats why you can mindlessly eat a whole bag and…
  • I'm a grown up, and I still think McDonalds is wonderful. All my friends laugh and turn up their noses and act like anyone who would eat a Big Mac is some sort of uneducated, unwashed redneck, but you know what? That stuff is engineered to be delicious, and by gum, it is. Of course, When I do partake, I don't eat so much…
  • I was going to bring up 18:6, as well. Or what Leangains recommends. I spent some time on the leangains website and saw some of the meals the creator was eating and decided to try it. If you are the kind of person who actually enjoys the Thanksgiving-esque process of eating until you feel stuffed to the gills, it is a…
  • I have gout, which is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood (which would make my blood more acidic?). I'd love someone to provide cited corrections, but from the literature I've read, lemon juice can reduce the acidity of the gut because the high acidity they bring is over compensated for by the gut's alkalizing…
  • I only eat raw beets that I grow myself and fertilize with my own beet poop.
  • My family is from Eastern Canada. Here they pickle beets. Beets and turnips are about all that they could get to grown in Newfoundland, so they used to grow beets, then chop them up and boil them in vinegar, then bottle them. So basically they just taste like pickles, with only a minor side of dirt.
  • Off topic. I think if I read the ingredients of something I was eating and saw the term "kibbled", I'd probably put it down.
  • They work based on the electrical conductivity of your body, so having dry vs sweaty feet on the contact pads can also throw them WAY off.
