Just think. You could've spent that half-hour exercising or finding a cure for cancer, or AIDS. What a waste. Pour choice indeed.

Do you have a recipe for hog roast? Nawlins BBQ shrimp? Biscuits & gravy?

Someone once told me that redbush tea and a liver cleanse would cure my gallstones.

Proof or you're just saying that to make people gag.

If you're referring to my post, which wasn't to you, you're absolutely incorrect. I did not even imply that, and it's been explained to you at least 3x already. At this point it seems like you are simply unable to comprehend what was said.

Lift heavy. Get your body fat percentage down to 15% or lower. Slowly add extraneous weight until your skin has ironed out as much as it can. Maintain that for a couple of years. You shouldn't need surgery unless you were really, really remarkably obese.

If you'd like some encouragement, feel free to add me as a friend. I'm the type of person to look at your food choices & calories when you complete your diary, and I'm not the type of person who'll congratulate you for logging really unrealistic calorie burns. ETA: I also remove newbies from my friends list when they…

Personally, I really hate that thing that pops up on my home page that says I haven't logged in lately and might need encouragement. It mocks me every time I see it. "Haven't used the internet in 3 days, haven't we?" grumble So I log in every day to make sure it doesn't say it.

Nobody twisted anything you said. Someone questioned its relevance.

Don't McDonald's et al. serve potatoes, pickles and lettuce? Viva las veggies!

Just because someone posts something that isn't an agreement doesn't mean they're attacking you. And, perhaps, someone is posting something that isn't opinion but rooted in fact - not factoids, or abstracts of studies that may or may not be completely misinterpreted. Here's the thing. Nobody here is asking you to lend…

You can go for Beurer or Omron models for a fairly cheap, and good, product. I have a Beurer PM25, myself. It's been in use for about 2 years, lived through one battery change on the chest strap and requires very little work aside from wetting the contacts before setting off on my workout adventure, so it gives an accurate…

Ornery ol' sage tells the whippersnappers how to live longer.

Ice cream. It's just so delicious and not even a bit filling, I could eat the whole tub of it with ease. My only other real sweet food vice is baklawa and its ilk.

Guys, honestly... you have thousands or hundreds of posts here. How have you not learnt to trim quotes yet?

Actually, that little bacon a week would kill me.

To be fair, her "correction" was 100% unnecessary and had nothing to do with what was being said. If you're going to try and correct something that isn't incorrect, expect to be called up on it.

Um... this is what I said. And then you did a hoity-toity "excuse me, ethanol was once sugar" thing, and now we're here and I'm not sure what's going on, so here's a rabbit with a waffle on its head...

Uh, no. Re-read what I wrote.

You get a cookie. For pointing out that ethanol is not sugar, it was once sugar and through a chemical process known as fermentation is no longer sugar. C6H12O6 (glucose) -> 2 C2H5OH (ethanol) + 2 CO2 (carbon dioxide)

By no means was anybody saying this is indicative of all alcoholics, everywhere. Whilst the symptoms of alcohol abuse manifests itself differently in different people, the underlying mechanism remains largely the same. Chronic alcoholics will often drink in lieu of consuming adequate amounts of food, as I'm sure you…

I had a Skinny Cow ice cream once and it was insulting how bad it tasted.

I do yoga clips, and my dog always thinks I'm trying to play with her. Other than that, I'm too focussed on my workout to worry about anything else.

I prefer Mudder's Milk. All the protein, carbs and vitamins from your grandma's turkey dinner... plus 15% alcohol.

Fibre. Micronutrients. Sweetness. Varying your diet. I dunno, pick one? Why eat food if you can get all the nutrition you need from carefully-made paste in a tube? Seriously, let's all eat space food.

Gotcha. Maybe one day people will begin to understand that having gone through something doesn't make you an expert on its mechanism or effects.

I wasn't replying to anything you posted, so I have no idea what you were referring to. The reason alcoholics get dips in blood sugar when they stop drinking is that the body ceases to maintain normal blood glucose levels when it tries to rid itself of alcohol. This is also why most people will binge eat after consuming…

Well, my father was an alcoholic, but no. I don't need to be an alcoholic or work in a rehab clinic to know you're talking crap. No offence. Alcohol is not sugar, nor a form of sugar, and your body doesn't turn it into sugar.

Pretty sure it's the alcohol. Caffeine is also used in alcohol detox, and there ain't much of that in alcohol. Gee whiz.

Can't see your diary so nobody knows what else you ate on the same day.
