If anything, its the much smarter choice. Why force your kids to believing science is the only answer? Does that not make you equal to the religious who do not wish for children to be taught science? That's nonsense. Especially when many scientists can and will not disprove any potential for a "higher" power. The…

Straight from the udders? yucky, we made my friends do that on a dare but we would never do it preferably. I like it better when its milked and taken straight from the sterilization tank :) or at least put into a fridge where its not gross and warm.... I'm a fan of both (though I don't drink milk regularly anyway). We keep…

That's certainly an interesting way of looking at it.... :laugh:

I'm not quite sure what country you're living in, but I think woman's right in North America have greatly improved. But because you are SO certain your opinion is 100% correct. Please tell me what evidence there is that woman's rights in North America have not progressed within the last 100 years. Next, you're going to try…

Here's the fantastic thing about your body. You can try things out, and see what you're finding successful. In terms of "to eat or not to eat" do what you feel best. There's no need to convince yourself to eat more if you don't want to. When you plateau, change up whatever you chose to do now. And see what you find most…

This is silly. Of course you don't. Starvation mode is SUPPOSED to be how your body adapts to a lack of nourishment (I.e. VLCD's and to clarify that does not mean "omg I only 1199 calories today, I'm going to be in starvation mode. That would be more like 300 or less for a very prolonged period of time) In the case of…

I believe that is Einsten's definition of insanity. And I jump rope and bike like crazy. Try to work on building up some muscle in your calves, so that all that yucky fat can stop making you look bulky. Switching up your excercises will hopefully do the trick :flowerforyou: Best of luck!

Well congrats on losing your weight!!!:flowerforyou: However, your post does not disprove starvation mode. It disproves myfitnesspals sweeping generalization of what starvation mode MIGHT be.

I think were making two very different assumptions and generalizations. To me, rape from intoxication is not necessarily "attacking". A woman may have agreed to become intimate with a man, but the two had very different interpretations of what intimate meant. If a woman does not intend to have sex, but allows everything…

I think its more an issue of when the person isn't able to say the word no. As much as I'll be hated for saying this, I think the police have a right to be skeptical as to how the woman was portraying herself. Now I'm not implying that dressing more revealing is an open invitation for anyone to have sex. But if a man is in…

This one was from my younger sister whose about 8 now. Me: Makayla, what should we buy mom for christmas? Makayla: New bed sheets Me: why? Makayla: (with the most serious look on her face) Because she's always washing them, she could really use a break! Makes perfect sense to me! New bed sheets it is mom

Reading this thread has made my day so much better. Not much more information I could add. Other than to the op, obviously the person spreading that information was wrong. But not entirely. Just because cardio helps create a deficit, and deficits burn fat, does not mean cardio directly burns fat. Personallly, I've had much…

If your body is a car, you must waste a lot of time in the day filling up your vehicle. I'm a fan of filling up all at once and waiting until it runs low. In terms of weight loss, i believe thats called intermittent fasting. Which many people have had success with. Personally, I experiment with what works for me. And so…

I believe this sounds similar to the plot of the hunger games trilogy......

double post :embarassed:

I'm a little bit confused by the conclusion on your point? As your two posts seem to contradict each other a bit. Are you saying we should have a "suck it up" attitude and accept pain, or we accept pain except when it comes from words? I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm genuinely curious. Personally I look at the word…

There's actually no conclusive studies showing diet drinks and direct effects on weight loss/gain.(And this is coming from my first year uni text book, not online studies). The only potential link is indirect, and that's simply stating that for some, having some type of sweet remaining in their diet, causes them to…

If you actually read over my original post, I wasn't talking specifically about christianity. I don't think anyone here would argue that there were many varying religions before the existence of christianity. I said "religion" as a general, because there are so many different beliefs that have influence human nature it…

Perhaps the initial motivation of my argument has not been clear. I am not a particularly religious person. As a math and science double major I prefer stone cold fact over "beliefs". I am not saying religion=good, atheism = bad. I merely was stating that religion influenced our present morals and values GREATLY. And this…

Yes and no. You can go back as far as "cave man" days, but to say we are instinctively moral beings would be inaccurate as well. Killing was a natural part of life. You did it to survive, you did it to show power. Years of intellectual and societal development have changed our alleged "instincts". We do not directly kill…

Of course they did, because they were taught by their parents, who were likely taught my their parents who eventually were likely to have some very religious background (not specifically chrisitianty). Society's basic moral values however, have been fairly well based on Christianity for the soul reasoning that the most…

Oatmeal with fruits Scrambled Eggs ( I do mine in the microwave, out of laziness and convenience of living in a dorm room) Toast Basically, protein is your best bet for breakfast (for more than just thyroid reasons) but you can pretty much have anything, just skip the milk:) For awhile, I actually found it too hard to give…

love the videos and workouts!! They really are the best :)

^^ used to think exactly like this, until I lost all my weight and still didn't like the excess fat on my body. Then I decided to focus on toning, that "perfect" body I wanted, I realized came from muscle and strength. I wish when I had started losing weight I had focused on muscle rather than cardio. I feel like I whither…

Same here, I think I found out the truth about santa before the first grade (my parents weren't very secretive), but I didn't tell them I knew until about the 5th grade when my older brother called me a "dumby" for not " knowing all ready". Needless to say, I still got presents that year. So all was well :) I love telling…

McMaster University!

Because this isn't the debated topic I'm not going to defend my point, but I'll still make it. Dark ages existed then in a different meaning to how they exist now. The most damage we've done to the planet has been thanks to scientific advancement. Qualitty of life may have improved, but at what cost? You said religion flew…

If only we could see our own bodies this clearly, maybe more people would be motivated

I think its very upsetting that we live in a world where one is shunned and humiliated simply for their beliefs. The saddest part about reading the posts from the people doing all the "bashing" is that they appeared very uneducated themselves. Those that defend science without the consideration of religion are in my…

I'm more concerned with the people trying to "loose" weight
