lol. Who said exercise? We are talking about walking dogs. Again, whether you take your dog(s) on a daily walk has absolutely no bearing when it comes to determining of whether someone is a responsible pet owner or not. Disagree all you like; go to town on it. Personal opinion does not change reality. You are also now…

You can also reduce the fluid "leakage" from raw tomatoes by a couple different routes: 1. After chopping tomatoes, place all (skin, seeds, and all) in a colander and let drain for 30 minutes before using. +/- a salt sprinkling to aid in water extraction during. 2. Remove the innards (jelly + seeds) and just using the firm…

There is no consensus. Some do, some do not because of the diuretic effect of the caffeine in coffee. If you drink liquids to the color (concentration) of urine you desire as a reflection of hydration status, you don't have to worry where those liquids are coming from. One example of the urine color vs. hydration level…

Responsible pet ownership is taking your animals to a licensed veterinarian for medical care. It is vaccinating them for preventable diseases. It is keeping them free of external parasites. It is getting them into a dentist once a year since they chip and fracture teeth on the regular because we give them inappropriate…

Does turkey potpie count? Perhaps as a stew? Made the Cooks Illustrated one for chicken post-Thanksgiving after making stock from the carcass of a Shelton's bird (OMFG, so good vs. chicken stock, even from a stewing hen) + leftover dark/light meat. The dough sucked to make but it was overall awesome. ETA: This recipe, but…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH No. The only thing that can make you be/stay active, is if you choose to be/stay active. No one else. No 'thing' else. Anecdote 1: I owned a Malamute/Husky crossbred mutt for 12.5 years. He went everywhere I did, every day, where he was allowed - no moral/ethical bankruptcy lying that he…

If I'm drinking coffee/tea from Starbucks, I getting a small (or whatever they call a small) chai latte dang it. It is the only thing on their drinks menu that sounds remotely appetizing to me. I can count on one hand how many times I've drank a Starbucks drink in the last five years and have either two or three fingers…

This is what happens when you finally watch Black Sails in its entirety over the Thanksgiving 4-dayer. Picking it up off the hold shelf tomorrow.

The person to consult with, ask questions of, and get a nipple or two pierced by if you can swing traveling for a booked appointment or happen to be so fortunate as to live in a city where she will be hosted is Elayne Angel. I've never had her steer me wrong during multiple consultations. Sadly, I can't say the same for…

Well, considering I always thought I was a 34A/small B at goal weight (145 lbs) and a 36/38 full C at my obese weight (238 lbs) but just learned I have been measuring wrong all these years and am really a UK 34F (!!) at the moment (197 lbs), I am no help. I look at my boobs and don't think they are particularly large and…

Sure. To about 200 ml. And then it can - and will - promptly expand to accommodate a liter (or more in some people) upon the proper hormonal signaling from your brain/body. And, yes, with chronic prolonged fasting researchers are saying you can actually adversely affect the innervation, pacemaker cells, and smooth muscle…

whisky. 'Tis the season... Oh, you said to boost protein. Whole milk. That weird mint flavored powdered creamer that's 5 g/stick (serving). Or, my favorite, buy a protein shake with the protein content I want in it. The one I use is labeled as 23 grams but I round down to 20 grams to account for manufacturer puffing. I am…

Something is definitely rotten in the state of Denmark. :\ No competent M.D./D.O. would be pushing to refer patients who are clearly losing weight at a good clip for WLS, unless they presented as a WLS candidate and were just demonstrating pre-surgery that they could successfully formulate, follow, and stick to a…

Not in any way significant enough to really matter. Your skeleton is not pounds and pounds heavier than someone of the same height and weight who those silly tests classify as "medium framed" or "small framed". Plus far better to have healthy, dense, bones than osteopenic ones! I am "medium framed" at best (i.e., if not…

If you can afford the calories, a Long Island Iced Tea. Ye gods, I loved those when I used to drink. :yum: It will seem calorie spendy, but one drink is huge (12 ounces) and if you break it down to calories per ounce, it is not that bad. If you get diet cola in it versus regular, it'll be less calories. If you can get a…

I wanna know what brand/label of peanut butter you're eating! Mine (Adams No-Stir Creamy) is 51 calories for 8 grams - that's a scraped/leveled-off-on-the-jar's-lip-"teaspoon" (an actual tsp would be 5 ml or ~4-5 grams). And that is based on me creating a food entry for the peanut butter, inputting all the nutrition label…

We, as a species, are never going to ever move past the whole victim blaming of "What you wore caused a man to sexually assault you.", are we. Women younger than me are now regurgitating this myth so of course we aren't. If I wasn't before, I am now actually relieved I have no biological stake in the future of humanity.

If you didn't eat things based on the diseases they possessed, you wouldn't eat much. Plant and animal matter alike. Chlamydia is a bacterial disease. If you cook your ground beef well to prevent contracting E. coli from contaminated beef, you can cook your koala well enough to prevent ingesting chlamydia contamination.…

For what class and awarded what grade? College, course listing, and Professor's name would be helpful, too. Sheldon fell into the same trap astrologers do. And trying to imbue his somatotypes with animal totems just makes it all the weirder. Well, except maybe for those who already own a "Three Wolf Moon" t-shirt and tell…

I drink green tea vs. black tea (or coffee) only because I desire to minimize the enamel erosion and staining of my teeth. That's it. If I want caffeine, I consume it in OTC tablet form with 11-16 oz of water.

First you need to define "high protein". One person's "high protein" is anothers moderate protein. Ketogenic diets are not inherently high protein. Just like any low carb diet is not supposed to be high protein. They are all supposed to be high fat, moderate protein. But humans being humans, many will *kitten* it up...just…

Mexican sardines reviews are a mixed bag. You would have to provide a name/style before research would be possible to determine if any of the reputable sardine reviewers feel are edible or not. There's 1-2/5 whose guidance I used in my own trial phase and so trust their opinions.

Chocolate?

This statement does not make sense. Are you talking about foods that raise alkaline phosphatase (ALP)? Because ALP has to do with the liver (hepatic), not kidney (renal) system. Or did you mean foods low in phosphorus? That would make sense if you are talking about chronic renal/kidney disease (CRD/CKD) in human, dogs, or…

Meh. I ate it a couple times when I was in San Antonio for several months. While not as salt loaded as KFC, it was dry and kinda tasteless. Never figured out why so many rave about it. When I used to eat fast food fried chicken, I lived in Church's country. That, plus it was way back in the 80s/90s, made it palatable per…

Jimmy Moore has never been the face of Atkins except perhaps in his wettest dreams. Eating any and every "low carb" junk food that ever made it to the consumer market is not "doing Atkins". Plus, he's a charlatan who pads his own reviews/website comments by taking editorial rights with them.

Stick with the pudding, OP - keep doing what works for you. Halo Top is nasty. Far better to enjoy 240-360 calories worth of pudding, or real ice cream from a creamery so you get built in portion control, than that hot mess in a pint container.

Considering there is a range of egg size/weight acceptable within each "size" category (e.g., medium, large, jumbo, etc.) I go with the standard 70 for the large eggs I use and figure it all evens out in the end to an average of...wait for it...the carton's printed nutrition label listing of 70 calories per egg. The only…
