Compared to shooting up heroin, ya I'd say there is a big difference.

I like my cucumber slices soaked in it, with some fresh ground peper and a pinch of salt....as to aid digestion no idea.

Sorry but baloney. I refrained from drinking for well over a year while waiting for my gallbladder removal and routinely hung out with my friends, played DD for them and there was no "underlying vibe" of aggression. Feels to me like you are moving the goalposts when challenged on your avowed psychic ability to feel the…

Pretty much. After losing 40lbs over the late spring and summer people have started asking me how I did it. Simple answer, eat less, move more and lift heavy things. Track my food intake. Never what they really want to hear. Putting on weight is fairly mindless and effortless. I guess people always hope for some way to…

1 or two whole eggs + 4 eggwhites for breakfast daily.

I like 3 meals and 3 snacks for myself. Keeps me feeling full. But, it is totally personal. Some people do better with 3 big meals.

I'll see ur Brit chocolate caper and raise you 18million dollars worth of pure Canadian Liquid Crack http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-01-02/the-great-canadian-maple-syrup-heist

That was worth it just to read the reviews. Almost as good as the ones for veet for men from the UK. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Veet-Men-Hair-Removal-Cream/product-reviews/B000KKNQBK

Everything else being equal, ie: energy output, why do you think they wouldn't?

Here I thought he was talking about sore feet... http://www.eliterunners.com/fat-pad-syndrome If you're not, I echo nutmegero.

Kelowna BC sorry for the unseemly display of patriotism. ;)

I do, but prefer cold brew like @lynn_glenmont

I once shoplifted a bag of halloween candy as a kid to feed my sugar needs. Does that count?

I *kitten* love that video. "Here we have a meat based cucumber substitute...." :D

More power to ya I guess. Bacon is a blessing in my life, but I don't go around proselytizing the blessings of bacon..

Of course they are different, Donuts and snickers also have calories from fat. 100 grams of donuts will have way more calories (388 for a krispy kreme) than 100g of blueberries (57 calories) due to the added fat content. But if you eat 100 calories of donuts or 100 calories of blueberries, as far as the energy equation and…

Taking a 1 week break from the weights to nurse a couple nagging injuries. Alternating between enjoying the break and wishing I was lifting.

No, that is fine. You might want to look into Intermittent fasting. http://www.leangains.com/ Is a good site with info. I think there is also a group here that do it. I know there is a 5:2 intermittent fasting protocol where for 5 days of the week you would eat at maintenance and 2 days a week eat quite low calorie.…

I've never mixed it back into a spread, but I like it mixed into oatmeal or added to a chocolate protein shake.

How uneven weight loss can be on your body. I can see the individual muscles working in my shoulders and my legs are jacked from all my squats, but still so soft around my middle and torso. Of the 40lbs I've lost it's like 25 of that was in my legs and *kitten* alone. I realize intellectually fat comes off in layers like…

If done under laboratory conditions to ensure calories, exercise levels and compliance, I would bet yes, their weight loss results would probably be very similar. See Minnesota Starvation experiment.

Anyone notice a major change in their Vivosmart's calorie burn numbers after a recent software update? From when I bought it in mid July it until it updated 4 days ago, it ran my tdee pretty consistently between 2400-2600 depending on steps and other exercise. All of a sudden it is regularly hitting close to 3000 and I…

Still doesn't make dairy bad. Just means if you are personally lactose intolerant, probably not the best for you. I can't eat Kimchi without severe repercussions, does that make Kimchi a horrible food that even people who can tolerate should stop eating? I also break out from Mangoes. Everyone should stop eating mangoes.

Don't most countries in the developed world already have "failure to thrive" laws in place? Why single out vegans?

Dairy does literally none of those things to me. Thank you northern european lactose tolerating genes. If you don't wish to consume dairy for your own principles, fine to each their own. Spreading false alarmist info is not cool.

I've got my power rack set up in the garage. For the rack, weights, bench, my elliptical, and room to have the bench outside the rack I'm using about 12'x12' section of the garage. Definitely recommend 8' ceilings. Without the elliptical you could probably get away with a 10'x12'. If I get time later I will take a pic so…

Wearing pants from start in may until this weekend, all at once! Even with 3 pairs of jeans underneath my original pants were still loose!

True, but the storage is going to come primarily from dietary fat intake. The body is going to always go to dietary carbs first for energy and store calories from fat first. Where people get in trouble is intaking too many calories overall from a combination of carbs and fats. As I understand De novo lipogenesis a person…
