I think the middle ground is yes private funding may be needed for some but not all research in an a particular arena and those that choose to take private funding should understand their research is under more scrutiny and when the methods used to generate the data is less than optimal it can lead to more questions until…

I can’t tell you a specific % in exercise, diet, nutrition, general health because that’s not the kind of research I try to get funded. But if the trend is anything like other research that is not deemed to be most important by NIH then I would guess private funding is necessary and increasing to fund those types of…

Never claimed to be involved in those specific fields, but in neuroscience in last 10 years that % has grown due to lack of monies put towards AD and other neurodegenerative research compared to Cancer and HIV. And trust me if a private company is involved they control all the data and whether it is published.

No matter what I say is going to sway your opinions and vice versa. I’m not making any attacks on anybody’s reputation as an investigator only pointing out a clear conflict of interest and problem with methodology used in paper. If you guys don’t want to entertain that possibility in your perfect idealogical world that is…

Publishing data that supports sugar is not addictive and by extension not a problem is I think considered favorable data to companies that want to continue selling their products as is. If you don't see it that way ol' well. He was given money to do that very research from the vary sources that would benefit from a…

That's a statement to fully disclose their associations because it is important to understand any conflict of interest that may be perceived by using a particular funding source or being employed by or receiving a monetary benefit as a source of personal income. Bought and paid for in the since that money was given to…

If you would the entire paper you would see that it was verified in the author's own paper. They actually stated in "Declarations of interest Rob Markus provide (free) consultancy services to ‘Kenniscentrum Suiker en Voeding’, The Netherlands. Peter Rogers has received funding for research from Sugar Nutrition UK, and has…

Actually it does show up, thats how I found it after reading your sited piece I got curious and regardless of any opinions of it good or bad does not exclude the fact the sited piece is accurate to the extent he is getting his funding from companies that sell sugar. The authors paper even references his ties to the vary…

Addressing peer reviewed evidence #2. Have you seen this? Call me skeptical of a study based on self reporting on an online survey that asks for participants to remember and classify food intake as far back as 12 months and no questions about exercise habits. The fact the author Peter Roger's is bought and paid for by the…

Just consider? The sodium paper has an interesting idea that ..."Salt appetite and hedonic liking of salt taste have evolved over >100 million y (e.g., being present in Metatheria). Drugs causing pleasure and addiction are comparatively recent and likely reflect usurping of evolutionary ancient systems with high survival…

There was a group of three or four guys that would scream and yell as they raised the weight on a dead lift and drop the barbell hard to floor from a distance of their knees. I think owner got so many complaints they were asked not to re up their membership because I have not seen or heard them in a month or two. Also, the…

I had two long term goals last year. Pass USN PFT for my age/gender. Finish C25k program. Done and done. Moving on to this year Short term is to enter first 5k race this spring. Long term do a pull up unassisted. Trying to lead by setting a good example for my teenage children to stay active and healthy keeps me motivated…

As stated several times already, it may depend on where your starting point is (weight wise) and how tolerable you are to changes in your diet choices and exercise routines as to the speed in which you lose weight. My experience is not very different from others here that started from a very significant number 350+lbs.…

When I first started walking I used my old pair of Reeboks and knew nothing about importance of foot ware. I would have shin splints pain the first mile and half, hips hurt and back hurt. I talked to some running friends and they said the best investment I could make is get a pair of shoes fitted for me and my goals. Went…

girl scout cookies = kryptonite must stay away, must stay strong, oh one won't hurt .....empty box lemonaids and tag alongs should come with addictive warnings

I have found even with a large weight loss my back hurts just as much some days due to aggravating the torn and arthritic disks (diagnosed by spine clinic doctor) a day or two after a hard workout. Heat and cold packs do help with inflammation. I have found it may hurt at the beginning of a walk or slow jog, but by the end…

You must be the talk of the office and feel very proud your hard work.

Good job!

Just don't eat bananas on a fishing boat, lots of old salts will swear it brings bad luck for the whole trip. Maybe that's why they started calling me a banana. :/

seems kinda funny, but when the clean clothes are in the folded piles according to who's they belong to in the family I have been finding my shirts mixed in with my 17yo son's on occasion because mine are no longer the size of a twin bed sheet.

fantastic!

Way to go!

I have had three bouts of serious staph infection the first one a little more than a year ago. I didn't really notice what was going on with my lower leg and within 24 hrs of first noticed symptoms (high fever) my lower leg was red, swollen, hot to touch and lymph nodes in groin were the size of an egg and painful. It was…

12 min warmup brisk walk treadmill 3x with as little rest as possible 20 push-ups 20 sit-ups decline 20 air squats 10 lat pulls with as much weight as possible ( working towards real pull-up) 20 mountain climbers w/ 20 sec plank at end 1 mile run, then walk quarter, jog quarter for total 3.1 miles Stretch it out

Here you go AZdac, Anvilhead and sijomial. I put a few items for you to read if interested since you wanted cited science backed information. I like to point out that your 1997 cited piece, although ended with your favorite phrase about myths, if you read its entirety the piece really supports what I was trying to say…

Perhaps reading a few scientific journals on the subject would be helpful for our English gym rats rather than just regurgitating the latest water cooler news briefs. You can think it’s a lot of nope or twaddle or whatever cute phrases you like but unfortunately I believe you sir are perhaps misinformed on the facts as it…

word of caution on working out on an incline. I thought the same thing early on in my walking plan, but quickly found going to an extreme incline before I was ready nearly injured me. My hip flexors and ham strings were not ready for that kind of repetitive punishment and I had to back off. Also made me lean forward and…

10 minutes of cardio is a good warm-up. Anything more (15-60 min) will start to deplete your blood glycogen levels which is used for fast energy. One of the main arguments to do resistance training before a cardio workout is that weight training can use that glycogen to perform heavy lifting (relative term dependent on…

Wow, Great job! Amazing difference between the two photos.

It’s been almost 5 months since your last post. I hope you have been working on getting healthier in that time. I too know first hand what a huge obstacle losing half your body weight seems, but it is possible to do that and more. I went from 350+ to 230 in 14 months. My first suggest is not to focus on such a large…
