As always, well said.

I can run 10 miles without any replacement too. Most runners can. When I wrote that, I was considering runs far longer than that. Going just over an hour isn't "long" when you're talking about glycogen stores.

"Transitions Lifestyle Solutions" Just another sales scam.

I recently added white noise to my regiment and it's been helping me stay asleep, I think. I downloaded an app to try it before I actually purchased a machine, and I'm loving it. I went from exhausted and sleeping 8-9 snoozes past my alarm (not exaggerating) to getting up without fatigue when it goes off.

The answer to that question depends entirely on why one is drinking the Gatorade. After a long run when all my energy stored are depleted, the electrolytes and sugar it provides are VERY healthy.

Hahahahaha. I work in healthcare and my "required" 30 minute lunch is hardly honored much less a break to go eat snacks every 3 hours. With that said, it has never affected my maintenance plan so I'm not complaining. I just find it impossible that this would ever be honored. STILL want to know what that acronym means, even…

So, if calorie counting doesn't work then (1) what was responsible for my weight loss, if all other variables stayed the same and I started calorie counting and (2) why are you on a calorie counting website?

I'm just going to add to the chorus and say weight loss isn't linear. What you're experiencing is NORMAL. I fluctuate 3 lbs throughout every week and I've been in maintenance for a couple years. You have to calm down. Like seriously, calm down. You won't get anywhere stressing out like that.

The part in bold makes me so happy. This was the best realization MFP ever led me to and I'm so glad you're in such a healthy place.

But what if pizza and chili cheese fries fit my calorie goals and help me hit my macros? (Hint: they do)

If no society of endocrinology agrees this is real, and medical specialties claiming it aren't recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties and Association of American Medical Colleges, then I'm skeptical. ^^ You actually run the risk that this "functional medic" believes in corticosteroid treatment and you end…

QFT. You're doing yourself harm by not listening to the program. It works for a reason.

Yeah, a joke I made in response to you initial comment in another thread. This one:

No, it was definitely you.

I can be very snarky, but this is an entirely serious question. Do you still view fast food as the equivalent of drinking Drano, then?

I'm sorry to tell you, you're actually dead. Your headstone was signed by Mercola after the toxins got you.

I speak as someone who has a decent number of long runs under my belt, and has also had a stress fracture. If the pain is unilaterally worse and not going away, you might need a break...a couple weeks of not running and resting. Now, I say MIGHT because you may just have run of the mill shin splints. Shiny splints should…

OP, you're in dangerous territory with your mental view of yourself. As a competitive swimmer and pre-med, my biggest fear is that you are going to quickly burn out if you don't choose to get help, and SOON. I know it's costly and terrifying to admit to people you love that you are struggling but trust me - you can't…

I can be there in 2 hours.

You knows what's toxic? Drano.
