About 32 or 33. My next one was a 36, but that was after a bad car VS bike accident, where my knee got injured. I'll do another one this year, and beat both of those times. Doing a 10K training program now.

I had one of those days yesterday. The day before, i went on my longest, fastest ride so far this season, and i came back home starving! I think the hunger the next day has to do with your body wanting nutrients, macro and micro, to help the recovery process.

Flask taped to inner thigh. They don't really check that well before a lot of concerts.

This. Include some low calorie density foods into your daily routine. Personally, i LOVE cantaloupe and romaine lettuce. They are my goto low cal foods.

Greens, beans, lentils, seeds, nuts, really any whole plant food has protein in it.

People develop lactose intolerance as they age. Milk is for young creatures.

Mexico. They go to Mexico.

Just google ag-gag laws. I know that my home state, Iowa, has laws like that. I know that Colorado has some ag-gag laws, and so does Idaho. Most of them are relatively new. Even without the law, the businesses wont let you in to see their operations.

Hey, to be perfect;y honest, i think the mass produced grain food, and the HFCS and all of that crap is probably worse for you than the animals. I'm not a fan of either. I eat fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes and sometimes whole grains.

When i ride my bike for 4-5 hours straight, only stopping to eat fruit, stretch legs, and chug water, i expend massive amounts of energy. That's when i'm dipping into the fat stores. Fat is very easily utilized in the presence of carbohydrates. When i get back from a long ride, (or runs, but i only run for about 20-30 mins…

So you can tell my muscle gain from a single picture, taken 2 years ago?

That's what conventional wisdom would tell us, but it doesn't turn out to be true. There was a time when everybody KNEW the world was flat.

I'm not sure i've ever heard the terms "low calorie" and "vegetarian" in the same sentence as the term "Olive Garden". I know they have salads there. They have some soups, but they are far from low cal. It seems they have options, though. They have veggies you can order instead of potatoes.…

Host them somewhere else, like photobucket, and then copy the direct link in between these: but take out the spaces.

I just told you: I don't have a calorie deficit all the time!

I know how it sounds. I have been there. I didn't believe it at first, until i tried it. Your body functions SO much better on a high carbohydrate diet. Every muscle i workout, i find growth in. My belly fat is disappearing simultaneously. People who eat this way often report faster recovery after workouts. My body can…

But you weren't eating a high fruit diet.

Haha. Learn more.

Yep.

Visiting a real dairy farm IS out of the question. Big business is in bed with the g-ment, and has created many laws disallowing you from knowing what is going on behind closed doors. In many states, ag-gag laws make it a crime to use surreptitious means to get onto a farm, make it crime to whistleblow about bad conditions…

I eat about 70-85% of my calories from carbohydrates, and i am still alive, losing weight, gaining muscle, and improving fitness.

I'm not a fan of the fake meats, but when i was still doing the vegetarian thing, i liked the Morningstar buffalo chik'n patties. I don't for one second think that they are good for you! The ingredient list is insane! But they are tasty covered in pickled jalapenos and mustard. Morningstar's hot dogs are pretty accurate to…

"The Pleasure Trap" - Dr. Alan Goldhamer and Dr. Doug Lisle Ph.D. Amazing book; wont tell you what you want to hear, but it will give you the keys to success.

I didn't know it was a chain! I went there once for a company Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. Of course, i was a teenager, and my boss rented 2 limos, and threw a few cases of beer into the younger people's limo and said "Shhh, don't tell your parents!" Either way, any of the restaurants on Dearborn are pretty neat.…

It's not just about how much you eat, but about WHAT you eat.

That's a tough one. Does your college cafeteria serve fruit? That would be a good thing to load up on.

Last time i was there was '98, and it was far, far from a hooters. It was a pretty cool place. And did you really just criticize DLR but advocate R&R Mcdo in the same post?

I don't view some of those so called "super foods" as anything more than a gimmick, unless you are talking about a whole, fresh food. Some people say "super foods" and they mean blueberries or broccoli, and that i get. But a powder is not a super food. Maybe fresh spirulina, chlolera, goji berries, or hemp seeds are good…

I'm in a similar situation. Unfortunately, you can't change someone else. I'd love for my girlfriend to eat better, especially because i live with her, and we eat totally different diets, so our fridge is crowded with a variety of foods. I'm sorry if this is not what you want to hear, but i think you should focus on…
