Thanks, Jane! I deciphered that fine distinction after I replied, which is why I edited it out. ;)

NVM

So. Much. This. Also, @kushiel1 - why not simply go online and order the same shoes that are getting tight on your son but just one size larger? Boom. Done.

Just mail me the stuff that you shouldn't be having. I'll take care of it. Promise. B)

Consider the source. ;) No pat phrases or cheerleading from me. Haven't got the time or the personality for that. I'm honest, knowledgeable and try to see the humour in everything. And everyone. Some days that works better than others. :D

Zero calorie soda. Lots of ice. And to be honest, your body doesn't care when you consume your calories. The only thing that matters is how many calories you consume in a day. It's not like the IF Police will come knocking at your door if you had a glass of juice 20 minutes before your 'feeding window' opened. :)

Any police officer who willfully disregards a direct order simply because they think they know better should be fired and brought up on charges.

May I suggest you speak with a Registered Dietician instead of a nutrutionist? There's *worlds* of difference between the two. Good luck on your journey.

For lots of people, just getting through the day is an accomplishment in itself especially if depression and anxiety are factors. No one should be made to feel like they've 'wasted' their time or feel diminished or unaccomplished if they haven't freaking cured cancer during their downtime. People have enough to worry about…

The trifecta perfecta! B)

Facebook for me, too, is simply a place I connect 'publicly' with people I know. Acquaintances. I do not post my life on there. The people I *really* care about get much more personal and direct contact from me - either through email, text, video chat or regular phone calls. I've found that I'm on Facebook a lot less right…

Garlic ginger salad dressing. Twice the benefits. <nods>

What is a "nutritional practitioner?" If I eat nutritious meals, does that make me one, too?

Well, he's clearly right-handed for starters. :D

Of course, my mind immediately went elsewhere. :D o:)

And for anyone who has *any* symptoms, even if you think it's 'just a venerable cold,' you really need to assume it's COVID and self-isolate accordingly. This isn't the time to guess.

I've heard that this is a possible side effect. Take care!

What does this mean, exactly? If you aren't weighing your food, you honestly have no idea how many calories you're consuming, strict or otherwise. ;)

Being in ketosis - in and of itself - has absolutely *nothing* to do with losing weight, other than the initial drop which would have been mostly water retention. Keto (or any other diet, for that matter) will only result in weight loss if eating in that manner also puts you in a caloric deficit. This means, simply put,…

I think it's a manner of the lesser of two evils right now. People who are already into health and fitness will, for the most part, continue to find ways to stay active and not overeat. Those who are not will likely end up gaining weight due to being a lot more sedentary, thereby attracting the negative consequences…

The Premier of Ontario has just declared a state of emergency for our Province. This means prohibiting organized events of 50+ people and closing: • Facilities providing recreational programs • Libraries • Private Schools • Licensed child care centres • Bars and restaurants (takeout and delivery permitted) • Theatres,…

Yes, but only if you're wearing gloves. <nods>

Agreed! And once in a while, a little levity is *exactly* what this situation calls for, especially for those who suffer from anxiety and depression.

I think that's a great idea. I wonder if they would allow pedestrians in the drive-through? Because otherwise *someone's* gonna get their panties in a twist about it being discriminatory to the car-less.

I was wondering about that. :(

^^This. We jumped from 79 to 101 in Ontario last night. What is of relevance is there's almost 1000 tests pending results. When these come back, I expect the numbers to jump yet again. I take comfort that it looks like more testing is being done, in that it's a devil-you-know scenario that more cases are being identified…

<crickets>

Dr. Dude has the perfect mix of sternness and scorn on his face. Wonder how many shots it took before the model got it juuuuuust right? And with the situation being so fluid, how can a printed publication hope to actually have "The Latest on the Deadly Pandemic?" :D

No, not comical at all. And I have a very twist-y sense of humour. :D

It amazes me when people get their knickers in a twist when topics here in the Debate section get, you know, debated. Why anyone would consider a debate a personal attack like someone kicked their puppy is totally beyond me. Carry on... B)
