but he's saying nutritional demands do not matter and are some kind of "myth".

uhm. okay. i would really like to know what your definition of healthy is then. filling your day with one singular "healthy" item that has a variety of macronutrients and micronutrients is most certainly healthier than filling your day with one singular "unhealthy" item that, say, is only made of fat and sugar and has no…

lol, he specifically said that there is no such thing as "healthy food". my example was a perfectly acceptable and appropriate rebuttal.

so 1200 calories in Cheetos and Oreos is just as healthy as 1200 calories of plants&proteins?

WOAH. i can't believe this actually just came out of someone's mouth.

yeah, what he said. if you want to do low carb then that's totally up to you. but low carb doesn't mean you have to follow Adkin's 20g net or some nonesense like that. i live what a lot of poeple would call "low carb" but carbohydrates make up 20%-30% of my calories, which is way more than what an Adkins program would…

this should have been the end of the thread.

plus, i really doubt that people in OTHER COUNTRIES are getting their news from Fox news. :/ blaming the anti-American attitude on Fox news (or any American media outlet for that matter) would be like blaming our love for American football on Sky Sports Network.

yeah, in order to gain muscle you need to have a calorie surplus. you can't gain muscle on a deficit. i would recommend getting the bulk of your calories from to whole foods-- lots of lean protein, healthy sources of fat (olive oil, avocado, nuts, ect), carbs from things like rice, oats, potatoes (i prefer sweet potatoes…

<3 also, your post reminded me of how annoying some people can be on facebook... i have some fb friends who are CONSTANTLY posting about their workouts and sharing memes that basically insinuate that anyone who's not putting in the work they are are undedicated or lazy. if not getting up at 4am every day and working out…

do you have anxiety? i have an anxiety disorder (i am not medicated for it, i don't like the meds) and there are times that when my anxiety levels are high, i get extremely "gaggy". also, around my TOM, i get gaggy.

Apple Pie and Vanilla Almond Crunch are my favorites.

i made zucchini pizza boats for dinner last night! they're delish. i like turkey sausage, pepperoni, onions and cheese.

me too. it makes me happy and fuzzy inside to see that. :)

hahahahahaha! me too.

i haven't worn *short* shorts in 8 years. i've worn just-above-the-knee-length shorts a few times in those 8 years though. i'm simply not comfortable in shorts. i much prefer a skirt or dress. waaaaaaaaay more comfortable. i'm a pear, i melt from the top down, and my trouble areas have always been my thighs/legs. even when…

^^^ sautee vegetables in a tablesoon of olive oil. incorporate avocado, almonds, heck, even cheese into your diet if you want. and for heaven's sake EAT PROTEIN!

not all of them do. that kind of behavior and thinking is simply a manifestation of his own insecurities, and, if the marriage is rocky, usually insecurity (whether it be on behalf of one spouse or the other or both) has a hand in that.

i graduated college and got my first "big girl's job" and suddenly had money to eat lots of food and rack up some awesome bar tabs, my career involves spending 8 hours a day behind a desk, i got married, i stopped working out because my knees went to hell (i need double knee surgery but have been putting it off for years),…

you already kinda answered your own question. you can't spot reduce. the lower you get your body fat %, the better you'll like your back. so, you're real question should be "how do i burn fat", and it sounds like you're already doing a good job at that. i WISH we could spot reduce. my trouble area is my butt/thighs. i melt…

My favorite dish in the entire universe is Baja-Style Fried Fish Tacos. I think its pretty much impossible for me to ever become sick of them. OH. MY. GOD.

lol, you're clearly spending WAY too much time on this site then.

i just think about it this day--- Christmas is a DAY, not a season. Personally, its really hard for me to screw up my numbers in one day so bad that its absolutely catastrophic. I've logged before on Thanksgiving/Christmas and the most I've gotten to was 3,500. With that being said, I just put 3,500 calories for…

if i don't work out, my tdee is 1840. i take it back-- i would add a glass of milk. just wouldn't right without a glass of milk.

all its missing is a side of ranch or mayo.

that's all????? i was surely thinking that was atLEAST 2,500 calories. i would eat that. it would be all i would eat that day, but i would eat that. one day of high sat fat won't kill you.

were yours impacted? its a lot more invasive when they're impacted, you're sore, and you have to be very careful of your stitches until they disolve. all 4 of mine were and they had to shave off some of my jaw bone in all 4 locations. granted, this was 14 years ago for me.

^^^^^^^^^^THIS. i lived off fruit and protein smoothies (eaten with a spoon because a straw was a no-no) for two days. its all i wanted. then i graduated to soft foods and soups. just take care of yourself.

lol, if anything you'll lose weight. you can't eat solid food for a while. at least i couldn't.
