Waaaat? That sounds great.. what's in it?

Apparently you've already lost 12 lbs so you're doing something right. As for the shakes, do what works best for YOU. As for me, I make protein shakes when I have the time (and the frozen bananas). The powder I use is not a diet powder, but rather a protein powder w/o all the extra sugars, salts and sugar-substitutes that…

Big Government, you scary.

Or DuPont, or Bayer, or any of the major GMO companies. It's possible. Then again, this is not a scientific study; rather, it's just a headline generating (grant-seeking) study published in a psychological journal. There is no scientific data. Simply interpretation of a poll.

grimm1974 and carld256 have repeatedly been a voice of reason though this thread of blanket statements, conjecture, mysticism, and outright misinformation. I posted this earlier in this thread and I'll post it again Posts by members, moderators and admins should not be considered medical advice and no guarantee is made…

One more vote for this

I'll say that before MFP, I deluded myself into thinking I was eating healthy for years. After all, I rarely eat out, I never eat fast food, I eat mostly vegetarian and my GF and I cook ALL of our own meals. That means I didn't have to contend w/ processed foods and fast food--and that I knew every food source that I was…

Yes, yes and yes. Hell, even low alcohol beers result in net hydration. Having said that, beware when people feed you BS, as the warning at the bottom of all threads clearly indicate: Posts by members, moderators and admins should not be considered medical advice and no guarantee is made against accuracy. Please consult a…

I though of the following after my first post: Perhaps you do not like the texture difference. High protein content (of protein powder) translates to high amino acid content, bc proteins are made of amino acids. Amino acids are emulsifiers, the chemistry of which I will not get into. Other emulsifiers? Egg yolks, lecithin…

I like EAS. My flavor preference is vanilla. My pops likes Muscle Milk, Chocolate. Both are sold at Costco and/or Sam's Club. I think they both taste pretty good, but the Muscle Milk has twice the amount of kcal per gram of protein. Maybe you just need a different brand, or one w/ a higher/lower sugar content. My regular…

Waaaat? I guess everyone's different. Can't wait to hit that when the after [responsibly and carefully planned] conception. Small breasts FTW in my book, but for a few months bigger can be better. ^^^^Note to self after re-reading this: Don't reveal my screen names to my future children!!!

I am [almost] always the initiator and it's awesome! :D It helps that my gf is so damn sexy!!! I'm sorry this doesn't add much to the discussion, and I really don't mean to brag. Just stating the facts. Maybe the idea has crossed my mind in the course of our 4 years but that's just thinking like a little b**ch, resulting…

@yoovie, You are awesome. Three favorite meals on repeat? LMAO!!

^This. Simply stated.

@saraht131, @Sidesteal, right on point. These are great. I haven't read the thread all the way through, but the seemingly ubiquitous belief that you can spot reduce fat has always been a favorite of mine.

A moment of silence for the poor Medical Examiner and his/her assistant(s) that will have to somehow figure out how to hoist her to and from gurney and examination table before and following the course of autopsy. Yes, these facilities do have cattle scales to accommodate gurneys, but they do not have engine/cattle hoists…

We're both scientists. You think lawyers can argue? Yesterday we argued about antibody-mediated response to core proteins vs spike proteins of enveloped viruses. At least we're on the same page on viruses vs virii, or that'd be another argument. We also argued about enveloped virus adsorption, ratio and significance of…

I don't know if mine's locked but I make all my own food, eat very well and have been losing weight. I'm only using MFP to lose 10-15 pounds, but I don't have a scale anyway. Weekly photos and body measurements tell a much better story anyway! So if you're curious take a peek. I usu. categorize my foods into "recipes" that…

Baby BOOMERS indeed. It's not just junk food. America is built on BIG meals--at home and out. This is sure to upset your kcal intake:burn ratio no matter how well you eat. Anyway, that number seems pretty much inline with one of my favorite time-lapsed data maps, albiet even a little low: Obesity Trends in the U.S. [1985 -…

Actually, huh? Oh geez. Perhaps you thought I was implying that all of our teeth were canine? Or, maybe you grind food with your canines and incisors? Hmm... we seem to have 4 of the former and 8 of the latter. So it appears we do have tearing and gnashing teeth. I threw us both a bone by leaving out our...wait for it...…

I don't care how people get their nutrients, just as long as they do. The simple fact remains, humans wouldn't have the digestive enzymes for metabolizing animal meat if we weren't meant to eat them. Lest we forget our CANINE teeth? We are omnivores--plain and simple. But, just because we are meant to eat meat doesn't mean…

I see you're vegetarian. I'm a former vegan, then vegetarian (meats are very $ on a student's budget), and currently a carnivore--in moderation. There's a lot you can do as a vegetarian... If you have a juicer then juice! If you have a blender then blend! (more fiber than juicing) ^ one of my favorite blends is 3 bananas +…

Now I think you are just making fun of me :p

Do you mean bologna? I was posting about bolognese...specifically a ragu alla bolognese, for which one can top pasta with or use as a lasagna layer

I just commented on someone else's topic about bolognese. Do you like pasta bolognese? Surprise! It's 20 - 40% minced veggies by volume. Want to make a killer bolognese? Try this as a base recipe: http://culinariaitalia.wordpress.com/2008/06/29/ragu-alla-bolognese-authentic-recipe/ EDIT: I used to think I hated food in…

If you want something other than burgers, why not a bolognese? Just finish what the butcher started and mince the hell out of that ground beef. Mince some panchetta, carrot, onion and celery as well and you're 90% there. Toss in some tomato puree, wine, olive oil and milk (to tone out the acidity of the tomato and wine)…

Free exercise is the best exercise! "Free" minus swimsuit, gear Ocean/River/Lake swimming, Snorkeling "Free" minus shoes: Walking/Riding bike to store instead of driving. Walking the dog(s). Running/Jogging/Intervals. Hiking in the mountains (boots recommended for ankle support) "Free" minus boots, gear: Hiking, w/ or w/o…

Without a HRM the MFP cardio numbers are bullocks. Having said that, when I take my GPS backpacking, I am astonished by how much stopped time it logs vs moving time. MFP cardio assumes constant effort which means no stopping to gawk at this and that, to take photos, stand in line, etc. If I do use MFP numbers, I usually…

Beef jerky, turkey jerky, pistachios, peanuts, rice cakes, pbj sandwiches, smoothies, juices, apple sauce

First of all, happy Cindo de Mayo! I am very lucky in so many ways to be dating a Latin. Although my GF would never give up her taco recipe (nor could she, since everything is "to taste"), I suppose I could share my chicken taco recipe. This is close to what you could pick up from an L.A.-area street taco vendor, or…
