The irony is you could probably start a blog on this and it would get popular enough, you could make a living off of it.

Agreed. Food sucks. We should ban all food.

If I eat peanut butter, I will get extremely sick. It won't kill me, like it will many people. Ergo, it is NOT the greatest food on the planet. Good food doesn't kill people.

So, if everyone in the forums started to eat dog poop for the weight loss properties, it's perfectly justifiable? That's how we legitimize things, right?

There are two types of people who are trying to lose weight: Those who agree with this guy, and those who know that it's complete bull.

Not to mention hair loss, brittle nails, and various other very nasty symptoms.

The heck does that have to do with wearing an HRM for 24 hours? Anyone who knows anything about HRM's knows that the calorie readout is only good for when you are doing a consistent, steady-state exercise in the aerobic heart rate zone. Once you get out of that, the accuracy of the calorie burn becomes wildly inaccurate.…

No one is saying it's impossible to burn 1000 calories in the gym. What everyone is saying is that it takes more time than what most people believe it will take. On top of that, it's not a good idea to burn 1000 calories from exercise every single day, especially as a beginner. However, it's quite obvious the OP is…

I use an HRM where I maintain my statistics (weight, resting heart rate and VO2 Max) regularly. Back in the day when I was very active, I had a fairly consistent 500 calorie/hour burn and these days, though I severely lack the fitness, my VO2 Max is lower, my resting HR is higher, and my weight is a lot higher, my burns…

I hope that's 1200 calories NET. In other words, if you do nothing all day, you eat 1200 calories. If you burn 1000 calories in the gym, you eat 2200 calories. If you eat 1200 calories and burn 1000 calories, you're setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

Paraphrased: "You get abs by maintaining a strict calorie deficit and it gets harder as you get closer to showing the abs. For some people, it's easier than it is for other people. Exercise can be used to help with the calorie deficit, but it's not always necessary."

Nooooooo.... You do not burn 200 calories per hour of moderate exercise. For me, a 50 mile bike ride would take a solid 4-5 hours (yes, I'm slow. I'm out of shape, but I need to push myself pretty hard ot maintain a decent speed on the bike). I find that, in general, I burn about 400-700 calories per hour on my bike,…

Use your diet for weight loss. Exercise should be for health and fitness. If you exercise to lose weight, you're doing it wrong. Also, only aim to lose 0.5% of your current body weight per week. You should weigh 400 lbs if you want to lose that much weight. Losing any more than 0.5% of your body weight per week is…

I had to stop at "sip lemon water throughout the day." If I went any further, I'd probably go on a rampage.

Is this going to turn into an Ashley Madison advertisement?

^This. Recommended intake is 2000mg/day. Maximum recommended intake is 3500mg/day. Any less than 1500mg/day and you could start having problems. Also, Iodine is a difficult nutrient to get from food alone. You can get it from Iodized salt.

That's just a stereotype. Just like all Americans are inbred rednecks.

Do you get to drive one of these?

Posture will play a bigger role in how perky your boobs are than the muscles under the skin.

I'm sure that mans underwear went from all white to all brown.

Hey hey! First Canuck posting here! I live in the Toronto, Ontario region. Dead - freaking - flat. I'd be lucky if I can get a climb longer than 100' in elevation. I'm mostly working on commuting now, but whenever I see a dirt trail, I can't help but ride down it.

My brain is here: My body is here:

Quinoa is really freaking amazing. Check out the nutritional content of the grain (per 100g): Calories: 120 Carbohydrates: 21.3g Fiber: 2.8g Sugar: 0g Fat: 1.9g Protein: 4.4g Vitamin A: 5.0IU Vitamin E: 0.6mg Thiamin: 0.1mg Riboflavin: 0.1mg Niacin: 0.4mg Vitamin B6: 0.1mg Folate: 42.0mcg Calcium: 17mg Iron: 1.5mg…

not necessarily "schwag" but a pile of stuff I bought for my brother's commuter bike I'm building up for him. Tires, cables, brakes, crankset, etc., etc.
