There's no such thing as being able to 'cleanse' or 'detox' your system/body. It's just marketing BS designed to get desperate and vulnerable people to part with their cash (whether for a book, DVD, supplements, etc.) Sorry to hear that. Pasta is really easy to make at home though, and there are many types of flour which…

In the US, a cup = 250mls

Oh noez Aamb... I didn't mean it to sound as though I was doing the waggy finger thing! I'm genuinely sorry if my post came across that way. :( No, please don't MB9 - the sooner dodgy folk in the West stop taking advantage of the world's poor, the better. And the best way to get them to stop doing that, and start behaving…

They're not bored, they're paid by shady marketing companies - it's called astroturfing, and for people who are used to subsisting on less than a dollar a day, it's a very real way of making enough money to feed their families. It used to be that people would infiltrate fora, and then subtly post about whichever product…

Also, if you break a cookie in half, the calories fall out. So cookies. :p

If you've had a really unhealthy diet, and switch to drinking lemon juice in hot water (for example) instead of alcohol, then yes, it will be beneficial, and you will lose weight... but only because you've stopped drinking alcohol, so won't be ingesting all those calories. But that's really the only way any of this stuff…

What is a reasonable 'serving size' for a woman of 5'0" who works at a desk (for example) is not going to be anywhere near adequate for a man of 6'0" who digs ditches (for example), so isn't it better to make our own judgement, according to our own needs, and simply fit it into our daily allowance, rather than be ruled by…

Yep - a change of habit/scene is good too. Play videogames - you can't eat and hold a controller (or use a keyboard and mouse)! :smiley: I agree about teeth cleaning too - I never want to eat once I've done my teeth (unless it's after I've done my teeth in the morning, of course)!
-
What about not having 'crap'(ha ha!) in the house? Or factor it into your daily allowance? Maybe have a snack box, where you keep treats and stuff - but only those that are within your limits? So for example, each morning, put together a Tupperware container (or similar), with the things you know you're likely to want to…

SpaceX tee shirt, Doctor Who lanyard, periodic table tie - you're my kind of geek! Oh yes, and the weightloss is pretty shiny too! :wink: Big, big congratulations :smiley:

Nope - your body doesn't care, and does not differentiate between 'natural' or refined sugars. As far as it's concerned, sugar is sugar is sugar. No it isn't. Not at all.

^^ This. There's no such thing as the friendzone, it's just something some butthurt guys made up to keep them from facing the fact that there are girls who don't find them sexually attractive. Fact of life - someone either wants to have an intimate relationship with a person or they don't. There is no obligation to jump…

Addendum to my earlier comment... I gave AoS another go, and ended up binge-watching both series. Needless to say, I love it now!

Way back in the '70s... Space Invaders - in the pub. :smiley:

I've been a Marvel fan since the late '60s :smiley:

What's it played with - controller or mouse/keyboard? I don't seem to be able to find any info on the site.

I don't see a problem with any of that - all those qualities are central to his character, as he has always been written. As for him always being a white guy, again, not a problem... unless it really is a crime to be white, as a growing number of people seem to think it is. I'm more concerned that no one has yet been able…

I racked up just over 200 hours on my first playthrough of Fallout 3, and then around 150 each on subsequent plays (I've completed it four times). More or less the same numbers for New Vegas but with only three playthroughs. I'm hoping that by the time it's been out for a few months on PC, the inevitable Bethesda bugs will…

Fable II was an amazing game, and so emotional toward the end (or was that just me?!). I didn't like Fable 3 at all, and didn't finish it. I used to work in the games industry, and prior to F.III's release, Peter Molyneux told me that it was full of so many amazing improvements, I was really looking forward to it. The…

I've been on both of those for years... lurking mostly!

I used to to do that too! At the moment I'm rewatching both series of Agents of SHIELD before bed :smiley: I love how for most TNG fans that's not even a question because everyone says Inner Light! Aside from that, mine are I Borg, Future Imperfect, Frame of Mind, and Darmok. I'm another lover of ancient history - it's one…

Regardless of whether I'm working, working out, or just being a bludge, most days I don't eat breakfast until way past noon. On the rare occasion I do eat brekkie earlier, I find I'm absolutely famished by about 11.30am, setting the pattern for the entire day. I have no idea whether IF actually does me any good - it's just…
-
Yep, I take a completely logical and scientific approach to my weightloss. That's not to say that there aren't days when go over - usually due to wine! - but as a rule, no, emotion plays no part in what I'm doing. It probably helps that I've never been an emotional eater either, and that in any area of my life, I've always…

I live in Italy - I eat pasta most days, sometimes twice a day. I've lost 42lbs. o:) It's all about not pigging out, and what you have with it. Some days I'll just fry off a couple of fat cloves of garlic in a tablespoon of oil, use that to dress my spaghetti, and then grind a load of black pepper over the top. Some days…

Hahahahahaaa... no problem - I was just toying with you! Dweebs are good mmmkayyyy! :wink:

Quite right too. :) I must admit that this whole notion of geekiness being a stick to beat someone with is completely new to me. I have no idea whether it's a generational thing or a cultural one but where I'm from, denigrating someone for their fandom(s) was never a thing.

I really hope that's 'Sir' in the vein of Kathryn Janeway, and not, say, a case of mistaken gender identity! :D **sporfle!**

I see what you did there. Shiny. B) Life without the Oxford Comma is just wronger than a wrong thing. :wink: Not a cosplayer, although I would be if I ever stayed in one place long enough to a) make an Ezio outfit, and b) be somewhere where they had cons. I did Living History for 20 years or so, and LRP/interactive…
