This isn't the conclusion I've arrived at after first studying about then working with cattle in one capacity or another, on and off, for...a while...now. Am I biased? Maybe. If you asked me are they stupid sometimes/do stupid things, I would say absolutely. Even have a few battle injuries/stories of my own that feature…

My comment was made to correct the previously stated misconception that horns on cattle might somehow determine the age of said cattle, backing it up with facts. Pretty sure I did not say no cattle have horns. :) For what it is worth, Scottish Highlands are pretty docile unless crap-bred, even with those horns (which are…

Horns/no horns have nothing to do with age; some breeds are naturally polled (hornless), and others have theirs removed as calves. If not yearling bulls feeling that first rush of testosterone or mama cows with calves, truly just heifers (sub-adults), stand your ground and be aggressive back. If you run, they will chase…

Used to make my own whole milk yogurt all the time when had access to milk and cream from a local Jersey cow dairy. Also was a time when it was a regular feature in my diet. Between losing ingredients access after moving and the time required to babysit it, easier to just buy skyr or fage in a pinch these days.

Plenty of overweight to obese vegetarians and vegans in the world. As such the idea they lead to better health and well-being, and the common implication of those words mean, is incorrect. For most, plant based diets are about the person's personal perceived ethics - correct or not - concerning eating animal based protein,…

Or... the title is a play on words vs. intending for people to take it literally. I.E., they are saying it is the "death" of the calorie as we currently know/knew it/worked it/assumed it worked/counted it/counted on it/etc./etc./etc. when it comes to human nutrition and dietetics, as there's new things on the block to…

A frequent misconception I see is to think if someone is doing a diet with dietary restrictions/eliminations, that the restrictions are henceforth forever for life. That may be the thrust of the question being asked. In other words, he likely wants to know if you plan on eating the diet described for the rest of your life,…

Same here and the location is now well over two years old. The funny thing is I remember the Chick-fil-A in the mall food court in the late 80s/early 90s. There was never the insane spin up to the opening of one or the chronic massive, long lines at one like there is today, no matter which one you go to. Same with In-N-Out…

The cost I am referring to is the one equal to removal one recently installed IUD (IUD #1 cost) and replacement with a different IUD (IUD #2 cost). FWIW, that little piece plastic with a tiny bit of small gauge copper wire wrapped around was $650 at a PP back in 2009. I can only imagine how much it is today. :) I mention…

Pbbffftt. Amateurs. I can swing 10 lbs in a matter of days and have never been over $2.50 weight-wise. :) If you weigh more than once a week, OP, the day to day fluctuations will do nothing but drive you to despair if you don't learn to ignore them and only look at trends and where you are at every calendar quarter. For…

Yes, started about a 12-18 months ago; the two days preceding menses onset. Like other, if I try to fight it by restriction and denial I never win that war. The whole goal now is to find what satisfies it without (A), eating thousands and thousands and sometimes more thousands (not figuratively) of calories over even…

Different cultural norms are different. No solution unless you can use the gym facilities in the dead of night (stateside, they all seem to close at 10 or 11 p.m.) and control the room thermostat, turning it way down an hour or more before you begin. Barring that, if they can accommodate, ask for a large (24"+) fan on a…

Yep. Nope. It, of course, eases the pain of it when prescribed medications which require alcohol to be verboten. :)

Nothing that involves meal replacements or packaged meals is terribly popular here. Even if it was cooking from scratch and eating at home 98% of the time nothing but "healthy" foods on various *other* diet/woe plans that helped get me all the way up to Class I obesity over the past 11 years. The fact remains I cannot make…

Yay, another doctor who treats the labs and not the patient! Yay! [/snark] Seriously, get a Paragard IUD then. The Paragard was here before the Mirena and it works, just no progestin like the Mirena. You'll likely have heavier bleeding, longer bleeding, and uterine cramping with but there will be no exogenous hormones to…

There's important information missing. To start, is it acute gastritis or chronic? I know how you treat, at least in animals other than humans, is very different between the two. Namely, simplistically for brevity's sake, because one is expected to eventually resolve with short term treatment(s) while the other is a long…

A 5'3" woman who is 198 pounds is clinically obese. Right at the distinction between Class II and Class I obesity, to be exact. I am well aware of the Great BMI Debate that's been going on online for practically as long as online diet/health forums have existed. That does not change the fact any healthcare worker who sees…

Glad you found a way of eating/exercising/living that works for you. Always awesome when someone does! :)

Can't stand the taste of extra virgin olive oil; too vegetal/grassy. Regular olive oil is a bit too heavy on the greasy aftertaste for me. So like Goldilocks, I find the light tasting olive oil to be just right. :)

When my BMI was 21-23, never personally observed this phenomenon in myself. I suppose if ingesta is in your transverse colon and the bulk is significant enough, this is possible. But that would be on your abdomen between the end of your sternum and navel, below where your stomach sits in that area. If you are talking below…

I wish I had answers for you but I am responding because I am more interested in learning how on earth you are feeding three people, even if two are kids, for $150/month? I hope you are getting WIC and SNAP in addition to that?

If you want a true meal replacement shake that taste good and can fit in a cico weight loss diet plan if you make them, look at disaster/emergency/survival/prepper food manufacturers offerings. If you care about the highest protein, lowest calorie, and lowest carb (and fiber as a result) bang for your shake buck, then…

No, I do not drink diet pop/soda. They all taste gross to me, is why. If I am going to drink a sweetened carbonated beverage, I want it to taste decent and be worth the calories it'll cost me for it to do so. As such, if I drink one, I drink one made with actual sugar/cane juice vs. HFCS as that junk tastes nasty to me,…

Why not go back to the Starbucks and ask? Seems from here the only way you are going to know for sure how the drink was made is to ask the people who made it. Everything else is just random people on the internet guessing. :)

Unless you've personally eaten the food his wife is preparing for him, and analyzed it nutritionally as well, you have no idea what it is or is not.

The draw back of using a crock-pot is there is no way for the rendered fat to drain off and therefore not be present. As opposed to wrapped in tinfoil with a bit of liquid and braising in the oven or elevating on a rack, regardless of cooking method. That yummy pot liquor (liquid) is yummy because it is concentrated juices…

If it is a compliment, it is an odd one. Who talks like that? Maybe it is a regional colloquialism thing. Certainly would explain it. You look like if you were on a dating site and selected "fit" for body type, you would not be catfishing any poor potential date. Well done, you.

Since you state you cannot function without caffeine first thing and/or on the commute, and there is no indication in your posts of desire/ability to change that, talk to your doctor about switching to the soft gel cap or even liquid version of synthetic T4 replacement meds available. They were developed specifically to…

Commercial frozen foods. Frozen turkey patty grilled + a serving of a commercial ranch dressing or BBQ sauce for dipping and a double or treble serving of frozen vegetables either microwave steamed or oven roasted. Frozen blackberries with store bought Greek yogurt and 6 grams of white sugar for dessert. Very much hands…
