I don't have a set amount of time, I just call/text her when I feel like it. If that is too soon/late for her then it wasn't meant to workout, but I don't like the idea that there is a set of rules that I must follow if I like someone.

It depends where we are at in our relationship. If I am just crushing on her still then I am staying quiet.

If you follow the thread, all of these responses are debating the claim that a current diet that contains carbohydrates is "garbage" and that early humans ate a diet mainly of fat and protein. The point people are trying to make is that the diet of early humans was not exclusively fat and protein, so if you are looking to…

There is a lot wrong with this post, but I will try to keep it simple for you since you obviously don't have an open mind about anything that might challenge your fairy tail views about keto. First, CICO is not a theory, it is fact. There is a reason it is called the law of thermodynamics and not a theory. Second, if…

Seriously, this is the same argument that has been going on for the last half dozen pages of this thread, and it has repeatedly been pointed out what a bad idea this is. Does anyone even bother reading the thread anymore before regurgitating these same foolish ideas? You want to increase the price of bread, but lower the…

Is someone who is paying the same amount for a seat as the person next to them supposed to just be happy about the fact that they are having to forfeit 1/3 of their seat because their neighbor is obese? I would think that all of the humiliation that you have listed would provide enough incentive to want to change. The…

This is most definitely not true across the board. There is a 50$ charge per pay period for smokers under my employers plan and I know that this is starting to become the norm across most plans nowadays. Just because your father's plan was cheaper than yours, that doesn't mean that smokers aren't paying more in general for…

I understand the point that you are trying to make, but I don't believe the bolded is accurate. I am 6'2" 196lbs right now and I would fall into the overweight category(barely) and I am not a bodybuilder. When I bulk though I easily top 200lbs(still within 10-12% bodyfat) which puts me squarely into the overweight…

It is because I weighed daily that I was able to notice trends and understand how my body reacts to certain things. For instance, my weight always tends to increase the day after a heavy lifting session probably because my muscles are retaining water to repair themselves. Because I weigh daily I don't freak out when I see…

How else would you expect BMI to be calculated? Body mass index (BMI) is literally a metric based on height and weight. I'm not really sure what is wrong with egg whites or 3 lb weights either, but complaining that BMI is calculated correctly seems pretty absurd to me.

You yourself don't even seem to totally buy into CICO. You said in the string above that you finally lost weight after you changed "the kind of calories" you ate. That is where you are wrong. It wasn't the kind of calories you ate, but the amount that made the difference. Are certain foods more satiating than others? Of…

Yep, there's the long, drawn out, nonsense explanation I was expecting and forgive me, but I am having trouble following. You say you were taking in less calories, but then say you added about 1000 calories a day at the same time. So which is it? Were you taking in less calories or more? Were the 1000 calories of coconut…

And do you know why your weight decreased? Because you were taking in less calories than you were burning. Whether you viewed what you were doing as cutting calories or not, that is exactly what you were doing if you lost weight. I'm sure you will spout all sorts of nonsense to try to explain otherwise, because that is…

The bolded is absolutely correct. They are a business trying to make money and they are marketing towards a specific audience. A better debate question might be "Does every piece of equipment in a gym need to be geared towards fitness?" I would say no. Their objective is simply to get people through the door so they can…

If PF was marketing themselves as the greatest fitness center in the world then I could understand your arguments, but in my opinion they are pretty transparent about the fact that they are a gym for regular people who are turned off by those other gyms. They are a business trying to make money, and obviously they believe…

I find this funny because you seem to regularly place your personal opinions in higher regard than facts.

How does it make fat shaming ok simply because it worked on you? It is still a form of verbal abuse whether you like to call it that or not. If my daughter is not doing her homework would that give me the right to call her stupid until it was done? Your argument is that the ends justifies the means, however you are…

Thats a pretty dick thing to say.

If your scale isn't budging and you haven't been eating back your calories you probably have inaccuracies in logging as well. Make sure you are weighing everything with a scale and accounting for liquids as well. With such a low caloric goal it is very important that your logging is accurate as possible.

Seems odd that you are on a calorie counting site then.

If the average height of a man and a woman was the same then I would agree with you, however that isn't the case. These are basic guidelines and the weights they chose I am sure are based on statistical analysis of the average height of each sex. A 5'2" 205lb man may not safely fit on the ride despite the fact that his…

Exactly. This is kind of a stupid argument and it seems like everyone is getting way too hung up on numbers. It's not like they are going to have a scale at each ride. These are basic guidelines, however everyone knows that not every body type is the same. I would imagine they will do whatever they can to accommodate their…

Keep in mind that you came here asking for advice and the advice you have gotten is completely accurate. You can argue about your calorie burn over 60 minutes but the scale is obviously telling a different story. You aren't burning more calories than you are taking in, so you need to either eat less, or move more to…

She simply said once you could do those poses then try to say it isn't exercise, but she never claimed she could do them herself. I personally can't do any of those poses either but it is fairly obvious that it would take a ton of strength, coordination, and balance to perform them which lends support to the idea that it…

Congrats!

I completely disagree. I don't see how smoking is considered socially acceptable. There has been more legislation and taxation surrounding smoking over the last 20 years than pretty much anything else. There has been a dramatic push to lower the rates of smoking, and it has actually worked. I don't agree at all with…

Of course nutrition matters, I don't see anyone debating that. I have never seen anyone debate that on here yet it is the same tired argument over and over again. What people were rebutting was your assertion that Diet drinks are unhealthy. They may not add the nutrition that vegetables do, but that doesn't mean they have…

I didn't say there was anything wrong with the article, but there is definitely something wrong with your assertion that you will can't possibly gain weight drinking whisky/vodka/scotch because it is "simply eliminated from the body. Unless you can point me to a whisky, vodka, or scotch that contains zero calories then you…

You were getting called out for insinuating that Diet Coke is harmful to your health, you were not being debated. It would only be a debate if you were actually stating something of real substance and not just your own biased opinion.

Oh good god, there is so much wrong with this it makes me feel dumber even reading it.
