Awesome! I'm not really here for the support though. I originally came here just for the tracking tools but when I realized how much misinformation was circulating the forums I stuck around to try and help. I was just curious to see how many people were trying to gain and how it was working out for them. I know there…

double post

Bonobos and chimps use sharpened sticks to hunt and to extract insects from trees. Sea otters smash clams against rocks on their stomachs to open them. These animals are all manipulating nature to their benefit. When we do it on a molecular level we are somehow unnatural?? Are you defining nature by level of intelligence?…

Tigersworld was correct. There are no "upper" and "lower" abs. The 6 or 8 pack is actually the rectus abdominis and it's one long muscle. The other obdominal muscles, (external obliques, internal obliques, and transversus abdominis) are simply more internally or obliquely located rather than above or below.

Anything involving raising your legs works the lower area best.

Nah, all good coach :) For someone who i often disagree with, I have to admit you're always calm and collected. You never resort to petty name calling even in the face of undeniable logic. ;)

Umm no. Man was created by nature, ergo... anything we create is also natural. Or do you believe that God created man and that makes us unnatural?

The "study" you read in your "nutrition class" was garbage. Yes, the doses were ridiculous but an FDA and EFSA review of that study found other, much more damning problems with the study. Reported flaws were numerous and included, but were not limited to, the following: comparing cancer rates of older aspartame-consuming…

Negative. Sorry Dawg! lol

No fun :)

Nice! How goes it? What your plan like?

I've never understood the point of spending a bunch of money on a wedding. I'm not really big into marriage anyways but I'd prefer to elope if I was going to get married.

Ive never been able to eat much at one sitting. I can eat often though!

There are a lot of chia based cereals popping up on the market lately. They are really tasty with milk. I eat some at least once a day!

Aspartame is not bad for you!! Oh.. sorry, wrong thread.

Religion Artificial sweeteners Microwaves The difference between Starbucks and good coffee Astrology Cleanses and detoxes

For the general population... No, diet pop is not bad for you. Some people have sensitivities to certain artificial sweeteners just like some people are sensitive to nuts, berries, tree fruit, etc. /end thread.

Threads on this this subject typically degenerate into fecal slinging so here's the basics. No good research thus far has shown aspartame to be bad for you, same with Splenda. Those who would say otherwise cannot back up their claims with anything except anecdotal evidence. Some people have specific sensitivities to…

I eat intuitively 99% of the time. I only use MFP tracking for the first couple weeks when I have a new weight goal. I try to mostly eat meals that have a good portion of protein in them and moderate carbs. There are exceptions for sanity of course but I make a mental note of those and try to correct for them over the next…

i don't really eat cereal anymore sue to the poor macro ratios but I used to like Vector quite a bit. Unfortunately the protein in Vector was soy.

Apparently I'm the only one! lol

The "fat burning zone" is garbage. For all intents and purposes, you can't work out too hard to lose weight properly.

NaBroski explains it best here...

Again, things I've never stated.

Why do you keep asking me (and everyone else who disagrees with you) if we believe things that we've never stated?? It's like we keep trying to debate about apples but you keep throwing oranges into the mix!

ideally, about this far.. http://honda-cb750-s.456789.n3.nabble.com/file/n4027586/Brats-084-small.jpg

The herd of baseless, non scientific quackery is a large and powerful one that many of us here work to cull.

Science is never wrong but human error often creates bad science. Good science it still the best evidence we have for anything BY A LONG SHOT. Skeptics don't come bigger than myself. I dismiss 9 studies out of every 10 I read for poor execution. Back to the herd with you.

I have an 08 Yamaha FZ6 and 1979 Honda CB750-F Super Sport which I plan to turn into a Brat.

I accept almost anyone who adds me but i don't interact with anyone unless they have a question.
