I love Banksy. Hard to pick just one

Not murdered anyone or lit anything on fire.

15g is a tablespoon

You can use a mashed up avocado in place of mayo as a binder for egg salad, chicken salad, tuna salad etc. I'm so not a fan of avocado but it works quite well; it gives the sandwich a freshness, a lightness that you don't get with mayo. As well, I know people who add a smear of avocado in place of butter/margarine/mayo on…

This is exactly what I did. If you don't alter the foods you eat, you will likely end up feeling hungry a lot but no need to make major changes that will be difficult to stick with. Over time, you'll figure out the foods that fill you up efficiently and your diet will improve gradually in a comfortable, easy to maintain…

Bathroom. Gym. Bathroom. Shower. Breakfast. Brush teeth.

Has anyone disputed that smoking is worse than not smoking or that obesity is worse than maintaining a healthy BMI? The question is whether smoking is the same, better or worse than obesity; you have not addressed that at all in your comment. You suppose it is worse to smoke than to be obese and likely receive a fair bit…

Chocolate toasted coconut doughnuts are the only way I will eat coconut. Well, I use coconut oil very infrequently. So one of only two ways.

I suggest altering the foods you eat to make sure that you are hitting or getting very close to your protein goal without going over on your carbs. So, instead of a PB sandwich or granola bar, have some chicken breast, a piece of cheese or an egg, that sort of thing. Protein is the most important macro to concern yourself…

I was never terribly large, just a little on the hefty side but, when I was larger, I was often mistaken for a boy. My hair is as short as ever and I still don't wear make-up but I can't remember the last time someone thought I was a fella. I really haven't changed the way I dress either, still wear the manly shoes, same…

Hehe, I had some Timbits just like that this morning. Someone else bought them and there were only three so they don't count

Reduce your surplus but ensure you are still getting enough protein. For recomp (changing body composition without changing weight), maintenance calories or even a very small deficit is best. Also be patient. Recomp takes lots of time. Alternately, do a bulk and cut. Since you are already bulking (heavy lifting in a…

Agreeing with your statement is insulting you? "Let's run with, hey?" was not actually an invitation to run with anything then? Are you kidding me right now? Make a derogatory statement about yourself in a false attempt to appear equanimous, ask people to agree with it and then claim to be victimized when they do. Super…

If you are not telling people to eat as much food as they want, you are practicing CICO and all of your posts in this thread are nothing more than you tilting at windmills (strawman arguments that people here do not make) for the sake of being argumentative. Good day.

Indeed. And telling people to eat as much good food as they want simply because it's good food is almost certainly going to have less success than telling people to eat less and move more. Based on my REAL WORLD RESULTS, you'll have to provide some evidence to the contrary in order to convince me this is not the case.

The only thing CICO adherents want is for people to stop conflating nutrition and weight loss. If you eat too much of the healthiest, cleanest foods, you will not lose weight. In order to lose weight, you need to eat less food energy than your body is using on a daily-ish basis. To say that the laws of thermodynamics do…

Haha, yea, I've stopped trying to lose any more weight. I'm into maintenance and recomp now.

For me, it's not logging, weighing and measuring closely enough. I was able to lose the first 15lbs with fairly sloppy tracking but the inaccuracies in my CI are keeping me from getting rid of my last bit of vanity weight.

I'm sorry but this is simply not true. You don't have to look far to find studies showing that there are several benefits to smoking, mainly related to mental health issues and weight control, it's just that consensus is that these benefits are outstripped by the risks. More risky than beneficial does not mean completely…

MacGregor's only hope would be to get the fight to the ground but his ground game is as questionable as his stamina. It doesn't matter if Mayweather is a contender anymore; MacGregor is so over-hyped. He's fought mostly chumps in the UFC and is in no position to challenge a boxer, especially in a strictly stand up fight.…

Losing 111lbs is not average. That's quite an accomplishment. I do agree with your general sentiment though. To the OP, I've lost only a little weight ~15lbs but I've shed ~7% BF while eating mostly what I want. My portion sizes are smaller pretty much across the board though and I did have to slightly alter the actual…

Nosy woman here. Would have simply moved on after satisfying my curiosity however, I gotta say, dude, you look amazing at your age. I don't mean that as a the back-handed compliment it sounds like; you would look amazing with that build at any age but it's crazy hard to hang on to muscle like that much past 40. You must be…

I missed where you asked that. I'm a beginner at foam rolling but I've been seeing this therapist monthly for deep tissue massage for something like 8 years now. She often assigns me stretches and exercises when I'm injured to aid in recovery and to deal with problems areas when I'm uninjured. Last session I mentioned that…

It's so nice to be understood.

Women like that are the lowest of the low. When guys hit on me, husband takes it as a compliment. He trusts I'm not going to cheat on him and it means they want something he has, something they'll never have. I try very hard to think the way he does but it's just so vile and so disrespectful to pursue a married/attached…

What do you mean "no help there"? The flow chart addresses every contingency that you could be experiencing. If you can't find any answers there, the problem is operator error and you need to look a little closer.

Go for it. Best money I ever spent was on LASIK.

For you, Motorsheen, I'll think about it.

This is amusing to me. Husband is a big feminist. He dislikes calling me girl even though I tell him I prefer girl to lady (I'm no lady) or female. I also know many women who dislike woman because they feel it is rooted to and a diminutive form of man, hence they are womyn (which I find ridiculous personally). There are…

Do you want an itemized list? A stream of consciousness rant? A chronological account of the slights women are subjected to? A documentary video? Links to various studies showing how differently women are treated when reading from the same script as men? A photo spread? An interpretive dance? How should we do this? :p
