Maybe something to consider is that rather than suppress appetite, swimming tends to increase it right after exercise. This article has some pretty good information: http://blog.trainingpeaks.com/posts/2012/6/13/why-swimming-makes-you-want-to-eat-your-young.html Swimming is a very good way to exercise, and any form of…

I like that you left out the Murder with firearms, you know, the one that probably matters most here :p Can : 144 US : 9639 64 times Can But yeah, that doesn't matter :p

http://budgetbytes.blogspot.ca/ Nice recipes, cheap, she even gives the price per portion for all recipes :p

I truly hope that was not a big surprise to you... 8 months of consistent eating habits with a big weight loss would produce cardio results whether you were on a twinkie diet, a low-carb diet or a balanced diet... Grats about that too, but that has just nothing to do with the choice of the diet. It has more to do with your…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_breast_milk#Composition But yeah, you probably know better than your own DNA! Eating carbs is alright, healthy, and there is about as many good reasons to not eat carbs than to cut off 3 of your fingers right now. You would survive... But why do it?

It is actually much better when you can hit precisely 31,667. Requires more work, but who said dieting was gonna be easy? Orrr... Just learn about nutrition, healthy habits, stop trying to lose weight and learn how to live the rest of your life. You will not get a lot of support for fad diets on these boards I'm afraid :p

As everyone said so far, you will not spot reduce no matter what you do. Then the focus of an ab exercise should be on making your abs stronger. Core strength's importance cannot really be overstated. My favorite so far is Ab Wheel Rollout. Tutorial -> http://www.beastskills.com/ab-wheel-rollout/ When you can do the full…

You can do a lot of things using just your bodyweight... You'd be impressed. And it's not second class to weight lifting using dumbells or barbells. It produces different type of athletes once pushed to it's extremes, but I would not say that a gymnast is any less fit than an olympic weight lifter. Plus, it's free and…

If you buy the most insane whey quality protein, it still takes ~40-45 minutes to spike AA content in your blood stream. It's only "fast" when compared to what they were using before, casein. The studies that mention the protein timing are using BCAA (Branched-Chains Amino Acids) which spike in ~5 minutes. And in that…

I somehow doubt that this is entirely from Carlin... He was very sharp on noticing and eloquently point the flaws, but the "fairy tale" ending and recommendations at the end seem way out of character.. Especially the part about "share or delete", the kind of guilt-charged BS that comes with every cute chain letter ever. I…

I had them when I started running too. I searched online thoroughly and fixed it. Here's how basically : There are two main causes as far as I could tell. Poor calf flexibility and/or (most likely and) bad form, either walking or running. I was having them more often walking in fact. To fix the form, avoid "heel strikes".…

He's suppose to think it, not say it! However dumb he is, is is most likely right though. People give up all the time, especially people that magically start working out this week. Resolutions :p You already have a treadmill and weights, you have all you need. Motivation doesn't grow in plants, and it's not supplied by…

I was in NY for 4 months, and tried a lot of pizza places. I was generally disappointed I have to say... I did try a few one from the top 10 from here http://newyork.cbslocal.com/top-lists/best-slices-of-pizza/ and those were good though. But drop you at random in NYC, enter the first pizza place you see, and the results…

I was kidding, with a reddit tone (I thought the ITT would tip off, but apparently not). Sorry if you took that seriously :p I get why though, this thread is a weird one.

I know. But skim the thread again, it's like 80%. Oh, and we should all deal with it too, I should have added.

In this thread, we learned that most parents that are on a weight loss journey also have autistic kids it seems.

That post wins. Being a parent must be tough, fine, but that's your problem, not the entire world's :p Not having children has nothing to do with this either. People act all entitled when they get kids, but the only thing they ever did to get one in the first place is have sex... There is absolutely no other requirements…

I can't speak about my experience being a parent, since I don't have kids. But I can say that I distinctively remember that I would not have done that very long as a kid. My father would have just looked at me and that scene would have stopped right then, right there. And he never hit me either, I guess parents back then…

You should really move away even from the Smith machine... You are really not getting the most out of your efforts by using that thing. It's the running gag of fitness, the only good thing about that machine is the straight bar, off of which people can do pull ups (finding a straight bar in a gym nowadays is more tricky…

I generally like seeing movies at the movie theater, but this one is the first one in a while that I feel more than deserved the obscene price they charge these days. I'll go again, too. The filming and projection in 48 images was amazing to me. Some of the scenes, like the Lonely Mountains in the beginning, or the fight…

There are countless posts on the forums about this, and you can see a pattern in them... It's not a good pattern to be in too... Basically, what you are doing, is completely useless... Your body doesn't need any "detox" or anything. Just eat healthy things, within your calorie budget, be patient, diligent and that's it...…

he reason it is so nice is that it helps support muscles. Especially if you are working out during your weight loss, you want to minimize muscle loss, since muscles are basically what burns calories for you. Also, proteins and carbs have the same calorie value per gram, 4, but most people are more satiated eating proteins…

You need to surround you link with tags. To see what I mean by that, you can see an example actually. Click on the "quote" button on any post, and you will see some "quote" tag surrounding the text of the post. It will look like [ quote ] then the text here [ /quote ] without actual spaces... what you have to do is put…

It's ok, it hates you too :p Just kidding. Seriously though, it's quite hard to say anything else than stick with it for a while, like pinkraynedrop said. "Exercise" is freaking vast world to explore too, I kinda doubt you passionately hate all of it. Try stuff :)

Just for fun, link one study that was done in your lifetime that actually says that... It's very old, has been disproved so many times since, finding more and more ways to word that this isn't true is becoming a challenge for scientific sports authors.

Well, you linked the article, from a website renowned for having as much scientific rigor as the average Jersey Shore participant. Not much can come out of this :p The only way to do better would be to link a crazy [Taubes Mercola Oz] collaboration, sponsored by Oprah.

Well, as you can see when you dig into the abstracts and conclusions of some of the linked research, you can see that they are not conclusively saying that what the article says is actually even true... None of the research also had a very large sample, as far as I could see as well. The best thing you can reasonably…

The best answer I would say is that meal timing or macronutrient timing really doesn't matter much for anyone but very dedicated body builders... But, if you are really looking into fine fine grain modifications to your eating schedule, you can take a look at this :…

This thread is hilarious. Even more so when you couple it with the hundreds of "where are all the nice guys" thread. Just saying.

While calories are a real measure of energy, your body doesn't have a clock that resets precisely at 00:00, or a weekly one on Monday morning, etc. Creative calorie accounting is nothing to get worried about, but just make sure you are not just trying to "game" the system in doing so. The reason I think calorie counting…
