Did your doc say that your hernia was "incarcerated" or "strangulated"?

If you're protecting your hammy, you'll not be pulling up on the pedal as much either, I'd guess. Experienced cyclists/spinners pull on the upstroke with one leg whilst pushing on the downstroke with the other on each pedal revolution.

If MFP are going to put a message like that in, a better one would be, "If you ate like you have for the last 4 weeks, in another 4 weeks you'll weigh..." (once you've logged for 4 weeks, obviously).

I trust you've replaced it with an appropriate activity.

If he was in jail, surely all his food would be "cell food"?

If you're going the MFP plus exercise route, to make the sums easier, halve the time you enter in your diary and this will automatically half the number of calories you log. Then eat all calories logged. So if the MFP database says your 40 minute cardio was 500 calories, enter 20 minutes in your log and MFP will enter 250…

Come on, Yaya. Who TF cares? Just do your thing and bugger everyone else. Especially insecure blokes.

I've just found a new weekend weakness.

Well, that went well.

The "fat-burning zone" is a misunderstandng of physiology that unfortunately is perpetuated by the fitness industry. Whilst the percentage of total calories that are sourced from fat may be highest in the so-called "fat-burning range", the amount of calories that are sourced from fat are greater at the higher heart rates…

So an unproven hypothesis then. OK.

One stone = 14 pounds. Great work @iSRGz!!

Can you tell me how "Chronic Systemic Inflammation in the body" is diagnosed please? There are plenty of inflammatory markers that can be tested for - which ones are raised in this condition?

Welshman living in England here with an Anglo-spouse to boot. I think England will get a deserved Grand Slam on Saturday but it'll be tinged with disappointment that Wales came within minutes of beating them a month back.

Whilst they're all over the place when it comes to calorie burn guesstimations, if you just look at heart rate then they're useful for motivation in real time and if they record workouts, you can look at trends. You can also look at things like how long it takes you to recover and what your resting heart rate is.

@sijomial beat me to it and probably answered it better than I could.

"I'm currently on the bogus side" - you are very wise. Stay there.
-
They're different guesstimates because they use different algorithms to calculate calories. Others will disagree with me but in my view, your chest strap HRM is likely the more accurate of the two. The FitBit is suggesting you're burning something approaching what an elite sportsperson would burn in the same time.
-
Elite Olympic athletes competing in events that take a bit of time (but not necessarily endurance) burn between ~800 and ~1300 calories per hour during their races. I think your exercise estimates may be a bit ambitious, especially for Zumba.
-
There is more and more evidence that there is a genetic component to weight gain/obesity (e.g. this paper published this month). The exact magnitude of the contribution is unknown and even if it is quantifiable, is likely to be small. But that's not to say that it will be easy - we'll just have to work a bit harder at CICO…

"I got rid of 150 lbs of ugly fat last month!" "Wow! How did you manage that?" "Oh, I binned my partner..."

I limit my compulsion to correct people who type "loose" when they mean "lose" and to tear strips off woo-merchants who think there's some magic bullet that conventional science is hiding from us.

I've got one of those. I use it as a drying rack for my laundry.

The only peer-reviewed papers on Pubmed I could find (that relate to ACV and the liver) are these two: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24894721 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21561165 So if you're a rat or a mouse with no ovaries, being force fed cholesterol, it might just work*. *Where "work" means lower blood…

Vegetarian for 25 years, vegan for 8 years. Most of my "extra" protein comes from soy and seitan and now Quorn have started producing some reasonable vegan "meat replacements", mushies too. Feel free to add me.
