thank you that is very cool

is there a way to see the total number of woos, likes, etc. that you've collected?

but that's the point of a pigovian tax. If the use of the taxed good goes down, then so do the negative externalities associated with it, meaning they need less money. A perfectly taxed good would reduce consumption to a level that generated externalities exactly equal to the tax raised on it. Figuring out that level is a…

This is largely because Chicago and Illinois more broadly are surrounded by areas of vastly different political ideologies, and with vastly different rules. Ban guns in Chicago? Fine, drive 15 minutes to Gary, Indiana to buy one without a background check. Raise taxes to pay for public services? Fine, move across the…

increasing the cost through taxation wouldn't do precisely what you're talking about though. It would reduce consumption without eliminating it entirely. The money raised from such a tax should be used to mitigate negative externalities, mainly, pay for public health care.

i'm being treated for a lower back condition, lumbar facet syndrome, and deadlifts put too much stress on the facet joints in the spine. They said I can start doing deadlifts and squats again in a few weeks, but they're trying to strengthen my abdominal muscles and shift my pelvis into a more forward tilted position.

Never heard of it

Got scolded by my physical therapist, my chiropractor, and my exercise physiologist this morning for doing deadlifts yesterday.

In SoCal you could eat tacos every meal, every day, your entire trip, and not feel like you were missing anything. Tacos.

Lauren Fisher, CrossFit Games athlete, instagramed a screen shot of her MFP and it's crazy. 185g protein, 320g carbs, 90g fat. On her rest day.

I have a ton of clothes I can’t fit yet from when I was thinner several years ago. I’m probably another 30 pounds away from sizing out of my smallest stuff. Fortunately, I buy clothes regularly anyways, so I just buy stuff that fits, then wear it until it doesn’t.

you don't typically eat a salad with a side of fries. If you can make a meal out of just the Big Mac, more power too you. 550 calories for an entire meal is hardly gluttonous.

if you drown them in full-fat dressing they can. the McDonald's Southwest Salad, the only one they sell here, is only 550 calories though, including the fried chicken breast and the included dressing. So it's not the worst. You can cut that down a lot just by getting grilled chicken instead.

well this thread went exactly the direction I knew it would. Well done MFpeople

not dissimilar. As with most of these it comes down to the difference between a medical professional and a more lifestyle or generalized practitioner.

? I think DEXA scans are full body. All of the images I've seen people post show them head to toe.

gee, I wonder where you get your news from

yeah, i don't think there was much doubt that it worked. I lost a fair chunck of weight on it as well when I was in the military, right around the time it was banned as a matter of fact.

I'm a guy, and not a particularly attractive one, so when I get creepy messages I just assume it's bots or cam girls trying to get my money.

About once a month now I'll go to McDonalds and get a 10 piece nugget. No fries. Just 1000 calories of nuggety goodness.

about to hop on a conference call, at 9pm, because *kitten* me right?

personally, I wouldn't consider a meal to be "binging" until you're getting into the 3,000+ range.

yes. that's why they had to pull the OG Hydroxicut off shelves, and new Hydroxicut is just caffeine and capsaicine, like every other diet pill.

McDonald's didn't create the demand, they responded to it.

If your body is burning more calories to keep you alive, usually raising your body temperature and making your restless, then you’re expensing more calories. CO I’ve had good results with a diet pill called ShredJym. Not because it’s magical, but because it lowers my appetite and helps me skip breakfast (CI) and makes me…

Congrats! I follow CrossFit programmed WODs on my own nearly every day, yesterday's from mainsite was a real butt kicker, and just started going to an affiliate on the weekend when they offer a free "community workout." I love it. My local box is going to be moving into a new, bigger, location soon and I'll probably become…

any weight loss pill that actually worked would be affecting the "CO" side of the equation, so you'd still be in a deficit while eating calories that would normally be maintenance level.

fortunately, there's a lot of parks, but there will be loses.

If you're craving McDonalds, an All American Meal is also a good option. Hamburger and a small fries. about 500 calories total, and super delicious. If you ever wonder why people are so much fatter today than in 1950, consider that when McDonalds was founded that was the only thing they served.

seconded. I've hit plateaus twice in the last 4 months, and both times it was because I got lax in my measuring. As soon as I tightened up my counting, the weight loss resumed IMMEDIATELY.
