I don't know what cirumstances you were under when you rolled your ankle. I've rolled my own a few times, playing basketball, coming down on someone else's foot. But I hike all over the mountains in low-top shoes and have never injured my ankle. Oh there have been plenty of times I have "almost" rolled my ankle, where I…

@JM1481 ... great video. :D

Lightweight hiking shoes, 1/2 size larger than normal, with added Dr. Scholl's arch supports... I use Merrell Moab shoes.

1. caramelized onions (plenty of recipes on the web) ... you an put some peppers in there too if you want 2. depending on your preference ... a bit of olive oil/butter/coconut oil and your favorite hot sauce

^^^^^^ This chick is dropping some wisdom up in here ^^^^

1 cup frozen fruit/berries, 1/2 scoop protein powder (vanilla), 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 8 oz coconut water.... and a raw egg.

"Stength training" is a word that gets tossed around a lot, and it means different things to different people. In general, anything that puts on a bit more muscle is going to create a situation where you burn more calories just for body maintenance. So you can do "strength training" with free weights, kettlebells, body…

This question is analagous to the debate between weight classes and age groups and open weight class, no age groups, etc. It all depends on what you want. If the particular sport has enough men and women that can be competitive in an "open" format, then sure, why not. But if its a sport where men (or women) are going to…

I am not aware of anyone having any trouble with swai fish, with regards to sickness or food poisoning or anything like that. I find the texture to be a bit off sometimes, compared to other fish. But you can pretty much cook it any way you want to. Grill it, bake it with some parmesian coating, make a Courtboullion or…

There's lots of free stuff on Youtube to get you started. Lots of the DVD creators post smaller sections of their DVD programs on there to give you a taste. Find out what you like, and try one out. Search for kettlebells or bodyweight workouts, or dumbbells or dancing, or whatever. I am a big fan of boxing/kickboxing for…

It will be tough, but you should try starting a routine where you get your base exercise in at the start of your day. A 12hour day, of doing whatever you are doing, be it running kids around, working, etc. is exhausting. Its perfectly understandable that you struggle with the energy to workout in the evenings. Even if its…

Obviously you realize that you should care less about what others think, but I think you'd be surprised if people had a chat bubble over their heads. Sure... there are people that will think what you mention above... but there will plenty of others silently wishing you luck in your attempts to better yourself, and people…

stop losing what? And I believe it is *great* to walk/jog everyday. I walk, but that's my preference. An hour of walking every morning with my dog, clears my head, and pretty much burns enough calories to cancel out my breakfast. If you mean "stop losing weight"... yes and no. As you get more fit... you will work less hard…

I only eat when I am hungry... but I adjust what I eat based on my calorie budget remaining.

An example of a 1200-1300 calorie day would be something like... Breakfast: 2 eggs and 2 slices of bacon Lunch: Tuna fish sandwich and and apple Dinner: Pan seared chicken breast with a cucumber/tomato salad and perhaps some sautee'd green beans. Does that sound doable to you? If you add 300 calories of exercise (walk for…

Make it spicy. You can put slits in the chicken and stuff with garlic and cayenne pepper, or maybe jalapenos. I've baked chicken covered in Rotel (diced tomatoes and chilis) and that's pretty good. Salsa would probably work too. The things that wow your taste buds are usually fatty, sugary, salty, or spicy. Of those, salt…

I don't think it would change it enough that you would change your registered activity level. It would make a difference for sure in your overall calories consumed, but it would be difficult to say exactly how much. Stick with sedentary, and if you use a standing desk, just let that be your "insurance" on meeting your…

There's more to it even than that. Even LDL numbers can be broken down to large and small components, of which only small LDL can be correlated on any level with heart disease. But these tests are more expensive, and not routine. Of course, "High cholesterol is bad" is just so simple and easy to grab on to, usually by…

You mean like these studies? (Oh wait.. not those. They state the opposite) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18609060 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18615352 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19560285 Etc. etc. Let's try this... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=myth+lipid+hypothesis Or more directly...…

It makes decent soups, chili, and beans. But I am not a big fan of most of the recipes you see out there.

That's like saying "bleeding is bad for you". Bleeding washes wounds and carries germ fighters to a wound. Cuts are what's bad for you.

Bacon bits and Parmesian Cheese. You're welcome. I usually don't buy the microwaveable packs. Get fresh or frozen and sautee in olive oil, coconut oil, or bacon and garlic, or if you don't like bacon (wtf?) then I like to take broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and mushrooms... toss it in olive oil and crushed garlic, and…

Cranraisins/coconut/sunflower kernels, chocolate flavored protein powder and banana, grated apple and cinnamon, a smashed up protein bar,

Mayo, sweet relish, boiled eggs, salt and pepper. Cucumber is good too. I once had a tuna sandwich in Scotland that had a bit of sweet corn mixed in. It was really good too. At work though...I just gobble it out of the pack with nothing in it.

Chloesterol is an anti-inflammatory, produced by your body, to deal with something ELSE that's bad for you. Blaming the cholesterol as "bad", doesn't address the actual source of the problem. Taking a statin or something like that, and forcibly lowering your cholesterol, does nothing to abate the inflammation in your…

*Cholesterol* is not bad for you.

Bread adds a lot of calories to your meal. Especially when you dip it in olive oil or add butter, etc. Sometimes, the bread will even double the calorie content of a sandwich depending on the ingredients. And I find it doesn't do much for keeping you from being hungry later. So, while I enjoy it, I grossly limit my intake…

Chop it up, and smother it down with some bacon.

That's not correct. "Egg whites contain slightly more protein than egg yolks. One large egg white contains 3.6 grams of protein -- compared with 2.7 grams of protein found in egg yolks, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Nutrient Database."…
