Put together a buying club or see if a buying club has been put together in your area. If you have a local WAPF group that is active, you can usually get in on purchases with them. This will allow you to get many things you would like to get but at reasonable prices. Generally, large orders are cheaper and group buys…

You're Welcome

I quoted a specific size serving, 3 ounces by weight. What size serving are you discussing? I also used turkey breast as the standard for ground turkey, but thigh and leg will have a bit more.

Heavy lifting will not cause you to get bulky. You're a girl and do not have the testosterone to become bulky. Start with a beginners program: Strong lifts, starting strength, new rules of lifting for women. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/

The bioavailability of iron from plant based sources is minimal compared to red meat. In general, red meat will be the best, but you will also gain from Turkey. Not nearly as much in turkey though. A 3 oz serving of beef will have 14% or your daily amount of iron, whereas the same amount of turkey will have 3%.…

YES!

If you want to geek out on this stuff, working out first thing in the AM will add to waking cortisol release. Whereas, afternoon/evening lifting benefits the testosterone/cortisol levels allowing for better strength gains. There is some debate about pre-sleep exercise and affects to cortisol and health, but I've never seen…

They're great for seated OP. If one does that. Also, Aussie pull ups.

From your link, "dry poaching is like a cross between braising and roasting." But this statement shows that they do not know what they are talking about. Braising is frequently done in an oven--AKA roasting. Braising is a technique that will cook something in a minimal amount of liquid (even just the liquid given off by…

This!

Poaching requires submerging in liquid. This would approximate braising.

^This. Congratulations on your progress!!

I've had this conversation a few times: Person: fats are bad, don't you know dummy. Me: If fats are bad, why does your body store all back up energy as fat? Person: It's doing that do remove fat from the blood because it's bad. Me: Then why does your body convert all excess carbohydrates to fat and store that fat? Person:…

This would make me think tendinitis, but that's usually due to overuse and your original post said you're sedentary. That said, FAI and hip tendinitis have very overlapping symptoms. A hip specialist will be able to differentiate the two very easily and if tendinopathy will be able to pursue appropriate therapy.

Thank you for this. What a great kinesthetic feedback tool to use.

It's due to your skeletal make up. Either your femoral head neck junction is "fatter', your hip socket is deeper, or you have a combination of both. It's a genetics thing. These will cause the femoral head neck junction to rub up against the labrum (the cartilage bumper of the hip) and cause pain due to the large amount of…

Quick question ladies: When my wife does body weight squats or squats while holding a 5 or 10 lbs plate her form is perfect, but the second we put the 15 lbs bar on her shoulders she suddenly bends entirely at the waist. Do you have any tips to help her out? I'm pretty sure this is a psychological/kinesthetic issue with…

Get yourself to a physician who knows how to check for femoral acetabular impingement (FAI). You have a classic presentation. Someone who is experienced can do this based off of an x-ray. It usually requires seeing an orthopedic surgeon trained in this. Just a general physician will not have the experience, nor the…

I'm always entertained by these old people that think they can just delete things from the internet and it will be gone. This is always my reaction:

You mean this comment thread? http://web.archive.org/web/20080501213545/http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/diet-myths-electronic-engineers-and-dietary-advice.html

Still waiting for the liver/kidney explanations. Dang, brought it up myself.... FYI - they're detoxing you continually, even from the juicing starvation plan.

Get to a doctor that knows how to check for femoral acetabular impingement and acetabular labral tears.

OOOoooh, this is gonna be good.

1. Does it hurt more when sitting for long periods, and hurt less while standing or laying down? 2. Does it hurt more during hip rotation in either direction? While the hip is flexed at 90 degrees does the same rotation hurt? 3. While laying prone, does the pain decrease if you have a friend pull minor traction on the leg…

It's easier to be nice and professional when the science is on your side. Why be rude? It does no good. Sadly, in America it seems that people believe the loudest/rudest. Hopefully a swing towards knowledge and evidence will happen, but I'm not expecting it in my lifetime.
