Vegetable and seed oils are bad.

Calorie-v-Calorie Here is the issue that everyone is having. Calories of foods stuff are determined by placing said food in a bomb calorimeter and combusting it, then recording the temperature rise in a measured amount of water. A little math and then you have the calories (special note: food calories are actually…

Re: vegetarian. Here is something I posted for someone else awhile back. It might help in your case too. Please, please read this: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-to-eat-meat-transitioning-away-from-vegetarianism/#axzz3RMDXjugK Go slow. Also, when possible within your budget, source all your animals. Find farms with…

Hell, I just finished week nine after starting again post PT and I'm failing at 90kg. De-loading for this next week. I finish squats these days and say WTF, I have to do what now... Press failed at 50kg so that's dropping back too. Deadlifts are still cruising though, but I expected that when I start this program. I think…

Sorry, but if you just started with a trainer in January 2015 to learn how to lift safely, there is no way this is possible.

I wanted to update everyone. My wife finally started lifting last week. Two lessons were learned: 1) The 45 lbs bar was too much for everything but deadlifts. 2) Five pound increments are too large for her. Luckily, I had purchased a six foot 15 lbs. training bar and fractional weights. We switched her to body weight…

Also, look into a lifting program. Start light and build weights slowly. Body weight for things first and then move progressively. In other words, look into a progressive weight lifting program but learn form first, and load slowly. Do not be concerned with bulking.…

First, outside of a genetic issue, eating fat will not cause heart disease. I've posted things on this before, but here is the short version. De novo lipogenesis, the liver converting sugars into fat, is the enemy. There are two things that force the liver into this state: 1) a high carbohydrate diet. 2) alcohol. When you…

You should post this to the main food and nutrition page.

Sorry, but eliminating chemicals is not a thing. Point out a single food item or liquid you ingest that is not a chemical or big bag of chemicals. Find me one. Also, Paleo will eliminate all "fake foods". Really, Whole 30 is paleo repackaged. A couple issues I have with it is the okay to use fruit juice in cooking but not…

We cannot see your diary, so are comments will be based off of total guessing and conjecture. The most we can say is you're doing something wrong, or you're eating something you shouldn't, or don't blah, blah, blah. First thought, stress is a killer. Also, much of the initial weight loss that occurs in such a large amount…

Potatoes are generally chalk full of the saponin class of chemicals, and this is the big reason they are shunned in paleo communities. Cordain made a big deal out of this and some other chemicals that occur in some legumes, which caused a big AHS issue when Matt Lalonde took Cordain down with the science behind a lot of…

A steak! :)

+1 for Against All Grain.

The drunken/hungover 10 mile downhill run. Def. take care of this. You never know when a drunken fool will fall on it. Have fun if you make it!!

Coconut oil is a medium chain saturated fatty acid. In a good oil, this will be in a triglyceride form which is better absorbed and utilized in the body. Small and medium chain saturated fatty acids readily cross the blood brain barrier and are extensively used as an energy source by the brain. Not only that they are used…

Not that I want to revive this, but read this today and it's relevant for the OP. "A recent survey of CrossFit athletes found that 73.5% had experienced an injury during training, 7% of which required surgery. But before the anti-CrossFit crowd starts gloating, realize that this injury rate is similar to Olympic lifting,…

Inflamed Achilles is an injury not a little boo boo. You need to stop!! Try and rehab for a month. Use this guide to help: http://runnersconnect.net/running-injury-prevention/achilles-tendonitis-and-insertional-achilles-tendinopathy-in-runners/ After a month, try a low intensity short run and then build from there. If you…

Leave the breasts on the whole chicken. Roast the chicken, 45-ish minutes at 435F for 4-5 lbs. chicken (Thigh temp with instant read thermometer of 165). Let rest 10-15 minutes. Carve and eat. Variations: Roast with garlic, bay, lemon and thyme in cavity Roast on top of cauliflower with above in cavity and enjoy the…

OP, based off of what you've stated I'm assuming that you have a diagnosed saliciyate and/or sulfite allergy but in order to help you with recipes we the MFP public would need to know specifics. Is this the problem?? If not, I do not know of any allergenic proteins common among all plant species that would cause this, and…

THIS.

To be clear, when I'm talking about lowering your carbohydrates I'm talking about carbohydrates that are readily digested and absorbed as glucose and its congeners. The other forms of carbohydrates, the soluble and insoluble fibers, do not count towards your glucose loading. Soluble fiber gets consumed by the guts…

I think you did too much too fast with improper training, bad form and now are looking to push the blame on everyone and everything else. I have a mine field of injuries. You want to talk impingement, both hips and right shoulder. Both hips also have labral tears and right shoulder has fraying of the labrum. That's what…

You started to high and progressed too fast. IMO, all pros is too much time under tension, especially for a beginner. Also, the weight you add starts low but gets progressively large in jumps. Plus, the regressive progressive routine is fine for building sarcoplasmic hypertrophy but not really great for building myofibril…

Feel free to add me.

Depends on your workout load. Are you in a lifting program and need extra protein for muscles or are you strict cardio and just need to maintain? If you're lifting shoot for 0.8 - 1 g of protein per LBM. If you're not then go for .7 g/LBM. Adjust accordingly fat accordingly.

Can I ask what your thyroid test results were?
