What in the world...? Who thinks protein supplements build muscle? A protein supplement is no different from eating something that contains protein... as in, your body needs protein in conjunction with exercise/weight lifting to build muscle. It doesn't matter where that protein comes from. In fact, the University of…

I've yet to be shocked in any of the TMs I've done, so I'm not looking forward to the karmic payback when it happens. In the meantime, I will continue laughing at all my friends who have yelled and screamed and failed in the mud after being zapped. :laugh:

Generally they have a thicker sole and tread, as well as a different tread design more for gripping and running on slippery/uneven surfaces. In other words, a Tough Mudder. :wink: For example, http://www.columbia.com/The-Ravenous-%7C-Product-Spotlight/Pinnacle_Product-Ravenous,default,pg.html

I didn't want to toss my shoes so I wore trail running shoes. They helped a lot, especially on the muddy surfaces where other people were sliding all over the place and I was walking across with impunity.

Possibly the salt.

Hmm. It's hard to say because each Planet Fitness is individually owned and operated... I don't know if that's the case with 24 Hour Fitness. Some complaints about Planet Fitness though fairly include: - Limited weight selection (depending on the PF) - Insulting commercials - Free pizza and tootsie rolls (really?) - A…

It would be about 5 cups of chopped broccoli... I kid, I kid.

Swerving to avoid a dog resulting in an accident probably isn't illegal, but just to be sure pretend I said swerving to avoid an out of control schoolbus of schoolchildren and nuns carrying emergency relief funds to impoverished third-world countries. :laugh: It's not so much that I can't deal with it. I can deal with a…

If it's your first day too... it'll go away? Assuming you aren't actually undereating. Suddenly going from a lot of food to not as much food is a shock. It's not permanent though.

Yeah, whoa. If vitamins are making you sick that's definitely not something you want to trust us about even though I have an Internet PhD.

I'm telling you that ageism is only relevant with respect to the elderly. There is some measure of protection for the youth of America, although most of it (see e.g. the Housing Act) is really directed towards FAMILIES with children, but none of it is relevant here. So again, comparing any so-called discrimination against…

Kids aren't a protected group. While age discrimination exists, it deals with people who are OVER a certain age as opposed to UNDER. Comparing "no kids allowed" to "no blacks, gays, transsexuals, Jews allowed" is very, very silly and not at all relevant.

Yes, short of actually being in ketosis 80-100g of carb would probably already be considered low-carb. My response was only in the context of OP's question and perhaps should've been more clearly phrased as "there's no need to switch to a lower-carb diet".

That's all true, but do you expect a bystander to know the background for your child's tantrum? Without being overly callous, the end result and impact on my life is the same regardless of the background. Again, for example, if you rear end my car, it doesn't matter overly much whether you did it because you were texting,…

Hells Bells! Raise your hand if you think that paying more for something doesn't entitle you to more than someone who is paying less for the same thing. It's not a "way of thinking". It's what entitlement MEANS. Unless you routinely pay more for something than necessary without getting something more in return. But that…

I don't think that's a great example. For example, Michael Phelps should be considered fit but he eats a ton of carbs. http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20080813/the-olympic-diet-of-michael-phelps Of course, his nutritional needs are different from the average Joe. You can also look at the nutritional macros for, say,…

Then why are you arguing when you agree with me that you were "snidely insulting people who don't want to put up with children raising hell and bothering others as "entitled"."

I was responding to a post where the POSTER said in such a hypothetical situation that they were aware and embarrassed that their child spoiled my day. I made no separate comment on whether a crying child would, in fact, spoil my day. Maybe if you took the time to read posts more carefully you would stop making unwarranted…

It's hard to tell if you honestly believe what you're saying or if you're taking great liberties with what you said to avoid making it sound like you belittled her. When you ask someone if they're "Entitled much?" it comes across as the text equivalent of asking, "Gee aren't you spoiled pretty little princess who wants the…

It doesn't make me feel any better if you are embarrassed and/or aware that your child has spoiled my day. That's just an awful situation for all parties. And I understand that, sometimes, things happen that are beyond your control. But that doesn't change the fact that your child spoiled my day. It happens. I get it. But…

Hah. So when you said, "Entitled much? I don't find this a "high-priced" place anyway." you weren't being sarcastic? You were, in fact, supporting her in agreement that she is entitled to greater peace because she paid more?

In the literal meaning of the word, yes, if you pay more money for something you are entitled to correspondingly better service/product, etc. Otherwise, it would not have the higher value. (Ignoring things like branding, or marketing.) As in: if I pay $50,000 for a car, I am entitled to a better car than if I paid $1,000.…

Unless you have gluten allergies or something, you're fine. The idea of sugar/insulin spikes due to carbs or the glycemic index of foods being important is overblown. With that being said, if you find that you're eating fewer calories overall but still struggling to lose weight and/or finding that you don't have energy for…

Even though it likely makes little to no difference, I'm around 40/20/40 (using your ratio of P/F/C) on days I exercise and closer to 40/40/20 on days I don't.

You can add the post from wineplease above snidely insulting people who don't want to put up with children raising hell and bothering others as "entitled".

There's a limit to when the time is taken... these numbers are not accurate but the gist of it is that it is only for those who are pacesetters. For example, if the typical time to finish is 3.5 hours, they'll take the time down for the people/group who finish under 2.5 hours and after that they stop noting the times…

Thanks for the dictionary. Do you think the owner handled this correctly? Does anyone?

Correct, and thanks for the clarification if there was any confusion. My point was simply that anyone claiming to be 10% is probably incorrect or drastically underestimating their bodyfat percentage. Secondary point is that any experiences with someone who is "slim" not having any problems was probably not sub-10%. As far…

I think there's universal agreement that she didn't handle this correctly.
