i understand what you're saying. but you're just arguing semantics. i'm pretty sure everything you just said is the same as what someone else would call "metabolic damage".

i had a pretty bad ED from ages 19 - 21. it took a good five years before i felt like my system was functioning normally.

:noway: so THAT explains all the fatties running around in 3rd world countries.

not if you eat the entire bag. which is what would happen if you handed me a bag of flaming hot cheetos. and my poop would be stained red for two days. don't ask...

mmmmm burnt. :) i like my pizza well done, and i love the burnt edges on ANYTHING edit-- cookies are exempt from this. don't burn my sweets. :)

when i was a x-country runner so many years ago (i can't run any more because of my knees) i don't think there was ever a time where i had more than 8 toenails at a time. :) it's quite common. some people it happens to easier. also very common if you've recently or suddenly increased your activity/intensity. be sure you're…

oh but you ARE judging. you basically said that anyone that says that they have a food addiction is full of schit. don't try to act all innocent now. it was very clear from the get-go what your position on this is. you didn't simply "pose a question and ask for thoughts". i understand that you might come back and say…

how the heck did i miss this?

many cases of anorexia nervosa and most, if not all, cases of bulimia nervosa are examples of food addiction. you're right on, it is an obsessive compulsive disorder (though you do still need to take things on a case by case basis, i'm just talking generalities). over eating, binge eating, anorexia, bulimia-- they all are…

did you seriously just start an argument with "its a free country"??? what are we, 12???

90% of the posts in this thread make me want to repeatedly bang my head against the wall. hey, i have an idea-- let's start a thread on post partum depression, or on obsessive-compulsive disorder, or on pica, or on seasonal affective disorder, or on post-traumatic stress disorder, or on pyromania, or on borderline…

party pooper.

wow, mfp really has a lot of physicians and psychiatrists. who knew.

:flowerforyou: Yes, this is in regard to farm raised tilapia that comes from China. (only.) The problem is, that's what is mostly on the market. So, I guess I'm asking more of a "are you conscious of your source of tilapia?" question rather than making a "stay away from all tilapia because it's disgusting!!!" statement.

Yeah, I understand that washing and cooking your food typically takes care of that. But, the thought of eating an animal that's eaten nothing but livestock feces its whole life just kinda makes me wanna gag. In the wild, tilapia eat seaplants. Poop isn't even their natural food choice. Come to think of it, that's just…

i don't understand the whole vitamins = bad thing. i'm on a prenatal. i'm not pregnant, but i [hopefully] will be within the next 6-12 months. switched to a prenatal from a regular multi because of really bad anemia and other deficiencies.

I love flavoring food with the following: fresh lemon juice or lemon zest fresh lime juice or lime zest garlic fresh ground pepper especially lemon. freaking love using lemon on food.

yes, shrimp eat the poop of other marine animals. but tilapia (from China) are being fed the waste of poultry and livestock, and there are claims of them being fed human sewage as well, instead of the [more expensive] commercial feed that is corn based. this leads to contamination of the water they're raised in and in the…

Uhhh no. I can understand why you may have thought though because that's what's mostly available on the market. Aquaculture = lots of profit and less expensive product for the consumer.

I thought I read that they are being fed manure and sewage, not just their own poop. The ecological damage is diconcerting, but I hadn't even thought about the medications thing. My goodness. Now I'm even more compelled to avoid it.

bacon DOES NOT HAVE TRANS FAT. you need to be eating more calories. end of story. if you're wanting to avoid SATURATED fat (which is probably what you're thinking of but even still-- some saturated fat in your diet isn't a "bad" thing at all), then eat NUTS, OLIVE OIL, AVOCADO, SALMON. its not that difficult. you need to…

x2. Also, I personally will never make a claim on what my body fat % is unless I get an actual real test done (like a bodpod or DEXA scan.) I've had bodpods done in the past. Callipers and equations are extremely unreliable.

if you brew your own, why don't you just brew 2/3 decaf grounds + 1/3 regular grounds? (or whatever equation you want.) if you enjoy drinking coffee and the jitters and heart condition is the problem, i would suggest that decaf would be answer. why give it up for something you're not going to enjoy as much?

i would recommend taking a woman's daily multi vitamin. i actually take a prenatal vitamin every day. (my husband and i are going to start trying soon but i actually switched from a regular woman's daily multi to a prenatal a few years ago because of really bad anemia.) if i don't take it for a few days, i will be…

I'd love to look like a lot of people, but its just not in my genes. I'm Scandinavian and Dutch. I'm tall and have a big frame. But I got jipped on the boobies. But I'm cool with that. But to answer the question: Doutzen Kroes-- I'd could so get a lady boner for her. She's Dutch, we're the same height, and have very…

first of all, those bf calculators are not reliable and are notoriously inaccurate. but even so, 19-22% isn't too low unless you perhaps have a medical condition that encourages you to try to increase your body fat-- like cancer treatment. your trainer sounds like a whack. if you aren't having any side effects from low bf…

hey!! speak for yourself. i'm small chested and carry my fat in my lower half. and i'm smokin hot. :happy:

only half wins. forgot teh butts.

I'd choose the cheese. But I'm pretty sure my husband would divorce me if he heard me say that.

the way i see it, it's not JUST about how many hours you put into grooming/primping/shopping/manicuring/ect, but, is also (and just as importantly) about how comfortable and confident a woman is with going without. if a chick FREAKS OUT and becomes all self conscious because her roots are showing, she's not dressed in…
