This has to be a record? Someone asked a question about a controversial topic, was given a link, (appears to have) read the information, made an informed decision and then changed their mind on the controversial topic. I mean, it only took a total of 7 minutes for the OP to change their mind. No, "But, my Mom said you can…

I come from a family filled with alcoholics (and I'm not saying or implying that anyone here is an alcoholic!!!!) but most people do not just have one or two glasses. Especially those that drink daily. That's 750 calories over a week (if you only drink one glass a night). As long as it fits your goals there should be no…

Why would be considered sexist to have different (generalized)workouts for different (generalized)people? I don't get the sexism part?

Most Men are... j/k OP, do what you like...especially if it works.

My wife and I tried to read those books. I made it farther than my wife did. However, we actually lived in Portland, OR and I graduated from the college in the book that Anastasia attended. The author could have done a 5 minute google search and gotten some of the landmarks, directions, etc down but that was as far as I…

Nope. The vilified big three (Saccharin, Aspartame, and Sucralose) do not increase blood sugar levels. http://www.mayo.edu/dotorg/diseases-conditions/diabetes/expert-answers/artificial-sweeteners/faq-20058038

As a (former)Marine who has come home from several deployments, I assure you that ten pounds of weight on your lady, less or more, made absolutely no difference. Agree about wearing clothes that are easily rippable. My wife still talks about those homecoming *ahem* greetings. Got a, now, 14 year old kid from one of those…

This, very much so. It would be interesting to note how much the "evacuation" phase actually...evacuated.

Five Guys does not have a veggie/turkey burger.

My Mom just recently had another one done and see said that they have greatly improved the "icky gut flush medicine" from the last time she had it done. So, I guess there's THAT to look forward to ;) Good luck!

I think the point is that you are not on a "diet". You need to eliminate that word right now. As people on here often say it has to be a sustainable lifestyle change. You can eat anything you want, as long as you are at a caloric deficit. You've already mentioned the exercise which is great, now you need to focus on the…

Banana's contain nuclear radiation, booga-booga!!! "A banana has beta radioactivity of about 15 Bq from its potassium-40" http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2014/NuclearRadiationSafety.2014.pdf

This one didn't end well; http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1192816/21-day-sugar-detox "So I did the 21 Day Sugar Detox. Exercised like crazy, didn't eat anything I shouldn't, etc... Today I was SO excited to get on the scale because I feel great... Thought I had lost a few pounds.. NOPE... ZERO. I am SO…

No they were'nt humans. They were Neanderthals. Their DNA is 99.7% like our human DNA. By way of comparison, Chimpanzee DNA is 99.8% like our DNA. Neanderthal man of 200,000 was significantly different from us. Hugely different? Probably not, but significantly different in enough ways that they went extinct and we did not.…

Yep, multiple my Polar results by .75 every time.

Didn't see the movie, eh?

Well meaning spam is still spam.

Know how I know you didn't see the movie?

Glad everything turned out OK for you and the family. I have a family friend that grew up going to public schools. Particpating in all manner of safe bicycle riding days, subjected to all manner of safety videos television and in school. He dreamed of being a Marine, and was actually in DEP for the Marine Corps. Went…

From the article you posted: "the idea of taking a pill that contains all of the vitamins and minerals to better one's health does not appear to be supported by the literature. However, it does not appear to be significantly harmful either" Absence of "significant harm" does not mean it should be taken as it already states…

Yes, that is more than enough information. You're fat, you weigh 300lbs. In order to get there (no underlying medical conditions) you had to eat a lot and exercise very little. So the answer is eat less than you have been (cause its making you fat) and move more than you have been (cause it's making you unhealthy and could…

Where I can see these mythical creatures in their natural habitat? Can't tolerate "bad" food? What in the chupacabra!? I bet I could eat a vegan diet for the next 30 years and someone could hand me God's own Dessert (otherwise known as a Suzy-Q) and not only would I tolerate it, I'd get an erection-to-completion from it.…

No, it's not rocket science. It's Chemistry and Biology. If you eat at a deficit, you'll lose weight. Period. That some people fail in that does not make the science any less wrong. It just makes those people failures. I've never heard an expert say "reduce costs and increase revenues" to a person wanting to become rich.…

Choice is all it can ever be and all it ever was. Your Choice.

15lbs down? Holy crap...that is....amazing. Good job.

If you really like Documentaries, then you must absolutely be disgusted by those films like "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". That's not a Documentary. What those films are, can be referred to as Scaremockumentaries. And they work. Too well.

Weight loss is 100% nutrition. Exercise is for fitness. Optimally you do both, but its possible to lose weight without ever exercising.
