Fung *is* a quack. Do some research to discover why.

I very rarely accept friend requests anymore. And I never accept ones that don't include a little note, because they clearly haven't even bothered to read my profile which requests them to do so. :)

Wee bit of a stretch, but I'll give it to you. o:)

That makes sense. Thanks! My only objection is the use of "bone" as a descriptor, here. Obviously done to piggy-back on a trend to which they simply shouldn't be laying any claim or association. :)

Get in line. It's actually just veggie broth trying to cash in on all the bone hype. "Ever tried bone broth? This vegan bone broth recipe is made in the instant pot and has tons of health benefits! It's also gluten-free and good for your gut." Ah, the trifecta of pretense! I have a bone to pick with them. o:) If you think…

And the piece de resistance? Yup. Let that sink in. :D

Add "Organic" to the label and you can double that. ;)

PT Barnum would be proud. :D

^ So. Much. This. Bone broth is just broth made from bones. Like it has been forever. It's not a superfood, it doesn't have any curative powers - especially 'leaky gut' because that's not even a real thing. It's just broth. I use it as a base for soups and stews, just like I always have. It's yummy. What makes me laugh is…

Using the Ignore feature will make that particular person's posts in the forum invisible to you. Handy if someone's posts consistently gets your back up. The fly in this ointment, however, is that if another member quotes that person (probably to tell them how 'misinformed' they are), you *will* see your ignored person's…

Same. :)

I shower or have a bath every other day, unless I have a reason to do it more frequently. My skin would literally fall apart if I showered multiple times a day. Never once has anyone told me I stink. Well, there was that one time when I mucked out an entire horse barn in the heat because the owner was ill. Then even I…

Fixed it for ya! <3

Absolute ditto on all this. I'm 66, hypothyroid (Hashimoto's) and lost 75+ lbs. Logged everything I ate here on MFP and the first few weeks of doing so were an eye opener!

Not sure why you're having such a hard time letting this go, but for the record, all he said was he would not like to be trained by his wife. That's not an opinion, that's quite obviously a fact as it pertains to *his* relationship with his wife. My opinion is that you're overthinking this just to 'win,' when, in reality,…

What is your source for this? Growing up, my entire family was slim. I was a very skinny kid and a slim adult. So, if genetics played a big role, I would expect to have a difficult time gaining weight. Yet in my late 50's, I had no trouble whatsoever blossoming myself right into the obese category. It was ridiculously…

The only thing drinking ACV made me lose was my will to live. :D

Great update! <3

Your answer is somewhere in here:

It depends on how much you have to lose. 1 1/2 lbs per week is a good rate of loss, except for those who are close to being in their normal weight range already.

Whether the scale goes up or not pales in comparison to how freaked out about it you are. Why is the weigh in so excessively important to you that you've spent the last two days stressed out about it? Is there money on it or something?

You don't have to complete your diary. All doing that does is give you the (rather stupid) 5 week projection. ;) So long as you don't make a habit of undereating, you'll be okay. Please eat something later if you feel up to it.

What's the bad news for Type A blood people?

Your answer is somewhere in here:

OP, look up Exercise Bulimia. It's a thing. And it might be your thing. Please get help. Although you can't see that there's most likely an issue that needs professional intervention, some of us can. :(

Agreed. OP, you are constantly recycling this issue. The answers you get to each and every thread are pretty much identical every time. You disappear and then you start all over a few months later with a brand new (old) one. Surely you can see that this obsessive and demeaning relationship you have with your body is not…

I watched "Naked and Afraid" a few times and noped the hell out. I wouldn't last two days. :D

4 calories is not going to matter one little bit. ;) I think where people trip themselves up is by thinking that being militant is the way to go with IF. It might be for the very (very!) rare person, but honestly, 4 calories in a cup of black coffee is totally irrelevant as far as your body and weight loss is concerned. It…

FIFY. :) This is the part that drives me nuts. If people have it but have no symptoms, they could easily pass it on. Wearing a mask is to prevent *you* from spreading the virus to others if you are asymptomatic. You could have it, be feeling perfectly fine, but then give it to someone who ends up dead. All because you were…

I'm old, so having a cane wouldn't be out of place, even if I don't need it for anything other than tripping the morons or poking at anyone who comes too close. ;) Staying home as much as possible. Only go out twice a month for a grocery or drug store run. Keeping myself busy with gardening and 'house stuff.' There's…
