More than likely.

Great! Taking advantage of women who (probably) have self confidence issues, and are emotionally vulnerable. You are a class act.

I think the "main" reason parents don't educate their own children is because we have to have full time jobs that go toward keeping the lights on and the water hot and flowing. Besides, I like sending my son to public school because it teaches him social skills that he would never learn hanging out with me at the house all…

I can't play this game anymore. My mouth is starting to water.

What's ironic is that this has nothing to do with anything other than satiety. If the calories are the same, and the macros are the same, then the only difference it makes is, "will this help me feel better or worse, or possibly keep me from snacking late at night?" Beyond that, all this other "scientific" information is…

Yum-ish (depends on who makes it) White chocolate macadamia nut cookies.

And I think this is why there is so much convoluted information out there, because fitness/nutrition is very personal. What works for you or me, may or may not work for the next 100 people that come along. And the water can get muddy really quickly.

Yep. I agree with you totally. I'm just not a fan of someone screaming CARBS ARE BAD..DON'T EAT CARBS (not that I'm saying you did this, I'm talking about the diet industry as a whole) when the truth is much more complicated than that.

Maybe. My grandparents, parents constantly told me I was too big, or that they wish I would eat less. That didn't solve anything, because they never actually lovingly sat me down and tried to work out with me why I was eating so much in the first place.

poutine sounds dangerously close to a bad word.

Right. But what you are talking about is a personal problem. Not a problem with the potato itself. Of course, if a food triggers you to eat more of that food, then you can't handle it, and you should eliminate it. But generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with a baked potato.

I agree. And most (if not all) of your nutrient-dense carb sources are going to contain good amounts of fiber.

I agree with pretty much everything here. I HATE routine. Some people just use routine because they are too lazy to to come up with something creative. This is the very reason I do crossfit. I have no aspirations of becoming an "athlete", nor do I expect to be referred to as one. But the variance I get this type of workout…

There is nothing wrong with having 20-30% of your calories come from nutrient dense carbs. I'm sorry, but I have never seen someone get fat because they had a baked potato with dinner.

@GleisnerBot I watched this movie yesterday...I laughed me head off. I watched it when it first came out, but I didn't remember it being that funny.

I saw a cool quote one time. "You are the person you were meant to be, and that's all the World needs you to be."

I am. And my wife knows it. She knows what I'm trying to do weight wise, and every time I go in the kitchen late at night, I hear, "What are you doing in there?" and, I just look down and say, "NUTHIN..." That's usually when the guilt kicks in. It's amazing how, when someone questions you, you know IMMEDIATELY if you are…

Not 0. i had eggs for bfast, so 0 there. A salad with avacado and tomatoes (so a few carbs), then a snack of extra dark cocoa and almonds (so a few more carbs), and then grilled chicken, 2 sweet potatoes and squash for dinner. So overall, still a low carb diet, I just moved them all to the evening. I basically just…

Funny. Yeah, I would never go so far as to completely take over the project...but the urge is definitely there. Sometimes it's hard to watch your kids do the wrong thing, and not correct them, but that's how they learn.

Parents send their kids to school because it is the law. It's an attempt to ensure that there is at least some minimum level of education being provided to a country's population. I agree that not all parents are cut out to help with homework. I lose my patience sometimes but for different reasons. I made it through…

I don't like being this kind of parent...but I have to confess: Helping my son with his homework...the urge is STRONG to just say.."forget it, go play on your iPad, I'll have this done in 45 seconds." But I think all of us parents are guilty of that at some level or other.

I believe so. She is so cute. Her attitude/personality is magnetic.

Wow...so many tangents on this thread. So, I wanted to try this. The past 2 nights, I've loaded up carbs at dinner. I can say that it has the opposite effect that I thought it would. I figured it would drive me to binge more. What happened was I woke up with a little more energy (which helped propel me through my morning…

That's when I usually post something like this.

Did 21 unbroken box jumps this morning.

All I will add, is that turkey bacon is a lie. Stick to the original. And, as long as you don't over-do it, you're good.

Counting the minutes until I get off work.
