lol, my favorite Onion piece: "Multiple Stab Wounds May Be Harmful To Monkeys" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ7J7UjsRqg . Is there anything more political than food? It touches socio-economics, religion, gender, cultural backgrounds, environmental concerns, health and wellbeing, education, etc. I think this could be the…

I get where both sides are coming from, I really do. The teacher is relying on guidance published by scientists/nutritionists through FNIC (USDA) and Nutrition.gov which are both federal agencies who serve to educate the public on such matters. Your child seems to have access to a wide variety of healthy foods with the…

I once was woken up by my friend driving his car off the road and into the woods...screeching brakes, crunching metal, tree trunk, no fun

Benefits of exercise (why I workout even when I don't want to): you are allowing your immune system to circulate and work effectively, increasing bone density, toning your body, improving and stabilizing mood, reducing stress, building muscle, encouraging healthy bowel activity/eliminating waste from your body, getting…

If you binge and these foods might trigger a binge: have a plan for indulging and log it in advance. if you can't resist or eat more than you planned you may want to dial that back and try again down the road.

MSG I hear can really make people retain as will pasta dishes and carb loading. I'm a freak and can eat a lot of sodium without effect...carbs not so much, I definitely bloat.

My optimum is 30-60 min cardio in the morning first thing then a light breakfast (100-300 cals) and lunch (300-500 cals) followed by a heavier dinner (600-900 cals). Snacks in between according to my burn for the day. Do what feels right for you but also experiment with it to find your optimum state, you may notice things…

this is just funny to me but I am socially inept. i would have nonchalantly stood up and whispered carefully into their ear "make me a sandwich or the cream puffs die". their reaction to this request would also be a good litmus test for whether or not i would associate with them again.

not only do people not grasp elementary concepts like mass, weight, and density but I had someone try to tell me that liquids don't have calories because you pee them out. take a quick inventory of the state of affairs in the world around you. people have become dangerously stupid.

this sounds dangerously close to a root analysis of a systemic problem :smile:

Awesome! The supportive people will FAR outnumber any haters...there will always be haters, let them hate :)

Truth!

That's some awesome progress, working on the same! Congrats!

Carb and sugar addictions are real, trigger foods are real, eating disorders are real. Dietary religions are not.

Thanks. I did the cabbage soup diet once way back when for 48 whole hours, lol

i still want to hear from someone who has actually tried this outside of the mid-1800's in rural Ireland

I dig around in chicken *kitten* and decaying matter until I'm satisfied and then put my seed in it. Finally, I ingest the ovaries of the things that pop out of the *kitten* pile before they can complete their life cycle and attempt to outcompete all of the other opportunistic life forms around me for the pleasure of doing…

that's what I know :smiley:

graduate studies in behavioral neuroscience and PhD studies in Neuroimmunology...I can tell you with certainty that nobody knows and as someone on the spectrum I can tell you I've reviewed a lot of research. The last time I reviewed papers a few years ago, the most promising research seemed to show an increase in paternal…

fantastic four

You had a really good post on that thread, thanks for sharing.

apple sauce subs for oil at a 1:1 ratio in baking Putting spices on everything makes everything good without the fat Bethany Frankel aka "skinny girl" has launched an empire out of swaps and subs in recipes. Just watch any of her youtube videos.

I've been learning to live with depression and anxiety myself. In the past couple years I've lost a lot of ground due to work-related stress and loved ones fighting health issues. I chose to fight/push back a few months ago in an attempt to prioritize and reclaim my health. 45 minutes of cardio per day outside in the park…

My morning crepes: 1 egg, two tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 tbs milk, fresh ground nutmeg, dash of salt, vanilla extract, pinch of baking soda mix up real well in a coffee mug and add enough water to create the correct consistency for a runny batter. Slice up 1/2 cup of strawberries and add a pinch of sugar…

On the whole I agree that the more sugar and refined carbs that are in your diet, the more you will crave them. But I also believe that if you totally deny yourself any indulgence that you will fail in the long run and not be able to maintain weight loss (it's best to train yourself to eat sweets in appropriate amounts in…

I prepare and freeze 4 ounce servings of boiled chicken breast for this. They are about 160 cals each and you'll only eat them if you're REALLY hungry. When I eat one from the fridge I replace it with one from the freezer. Alternately, keeping a few hard boiled eggs in the fridge at 78 cals each is a good alternative. I…

So I compartmentalize my food and cut everything into bite sized pieces for convenience and my former boss says to me at lunch a couple years ago "you always have the BEST bento boxes" and I'm like What? She then explains what a bento box is and I'm like OH...I call it not touching and eating a little of a lot of things…
