Question: when dating online, how does one get to second base?

I've had some weird online "dating" experiences. I met a girl on facebook who wanted to have skype sex but didn't want to meet. I met another lady who revealed all kinds of intimate things about herself, but didn't want to meet. I met another who had an ex-husband who was stalking her, she was addicted to pain meds, and…

This needs to be a standard linked response in nearly every thread in the Food and Nutrition section of the message boards

Lame assumption. I'm not beating anyone's head against any walls, least of all mine. I eat what I want, when I want, and am in full control. I enjoy life But no, you're right. This is all really easy. Nothing hard about changing your daily eating habits at all. Just don't ever be around the food you like, because if you…

Who ever said it was easy? Getting fit, especially after years of bad habits, is hard as hell. It takes a tremendous amount of patience and determination over a long period of time. It takes discipline. You're making several decisions regarding your health on a daily basis. To espouse that there is no need for self-control…

If the dieter can't stop, it's not the doughnuts that need to go, it's whatever reason he/she can't stop themselves that needs to go. Eating healthy is a behavior. If bad eating habits are present, that behavior needs to be re-trained. Adopting a healthy attitude toward food and confidence in one's self is how that is…

cajuntank, you really know your stuff man stress + recovery = adaptation. increase the stress. rinse. repeat

I want to look like Seth Rogan but not Ryan Reynolds. How do I do that?

Walking is awesome. It is good for your bones, it gets the blood flowing, and can very gently lift your mood. One of my favorite things to do is take a stroll after a good meal, it settles my food nicely in my stomach and makes for a pleasant digestive experience. A casual stroll is very mild in terms of exercise, though…

I agree with this advice. A circuit of bodyweight or calisthenic exercises and nautilus type machines can be good for getting the connective tissues prepared for heavy lifting, should you choose that path. If you do decide you want to start a barbell program, however, it is advisable to begin training the major compound…

:D

It's just a cheeky way of saying I love food

Breast milk ketogenic?? Where do people find this stuff? 100ml of human breast milk contains 1.3g of protein, 4.2g of fat, and 7.4g of wait for it...carbs! And those carbs are lactose (i.e. that evil sugar that kills everybody and makes you do bad things) Unless abused and neglected, infants are anything by ketogenic.…

Excellent basic program outline!

Better to hijack a thread than to confuse people seeking dietary advice by wrongly telling them a perfectly natural and healthy food substance is poison

Oh, btw, I wanted to make clear that my previous post was not aimed at the OP. She came here in good faith, seeking advice and knowledge. It was aimed at the ones who are clearly demonizing food. You know who you are and you should be ashamed of yourselves

Yep, dehydration is really common. Make sure you are getting a healthy amount of salt and potassium along with it

Demonizing food is excuse-promoting, and is phony science. Eggs used to be the bad guy, as was red meat, as was protein, as was cheese and dairy foods, as was pork, as was bacon, as was salt... As far as the legitimacy of a PhD goes, history is FULL of unbelievably dumb things eventually proven wrong that came out of the…

You can certainly do them in the same workout. But, if you're going to do that, I suggest doing the cardio after lifting. It really depends on your goals. Your desired goals will dictate what kind of physical training you would do best to follow. For general health, doing a circuit of resistance exercises at a moderate to…

Outstanding. You should love food. Everyone should. Just think of how bad it would suck to have to do something in order to survive and you hated doing it - like paying taxes. God did a pretty cool thing making food delicious. Thanks God, smell ya later

A perfectly grilled steak topped with butter is one of the greatest indulgences there is. And, it's not unhealthy. It's delicious and nutritious

Nailed it!

+1 Focus only on the main lifts at first

That's a very good and simple way of looking at it. All three have crossover benefits into the other, but that's pretty much the focus of each one. Nutrition is essential for weight loss/gain and general health. Lifting is essential for increased strength and muscularity. Cardio, in both main variants (LISS and HIIT), is…

Chalk. Never deadlift without it Straps are fine for heavy shrugs because of the massive amount of weight necessary and grip is not part of the lift's fundamental. But, grip is a fundamental of the deadlift, and it is an indicator of both form and capacity. If you just have sweaty hands, then chalk will take care of that -…

You just can't beat draft A&W, especially with a big ol' scoop of good vanilla ice cream

There is absolutely nothing wrong with allowing an entire day, every week, where you don't restrict yourself, diet-wise. It's still a good idea to track what you consume on those days, but you may want to restrict yourself from certain things over a period of time, usually a week for the average person, then on one weekend…

Congratulations! It's easy. Just cut back a little and you got it. You can see a lot of progress from now til July. The last 15lbs can be stubborn, but you'll get there. Ask a bodybuilder how they cut close to a competition. They have great knowledge on how to lose that last bit of stubborn fat

You're among friends. We can all relate. You got this. Just cut back a little on how much you eat, and be patient. You'll get there

You're off to a good start. Developing healthy habits while you're young is one of the best things you can do. I'll send you an invite. Feel free to message me about anything
