I know two people with year-old Fitbit Charge and Charge HRs who have the bubbling wristband issue. It's possible that they want the unit to figure out what's going on.

I just use ketostix, because I stay in ketosis really easily for some reason. I figure that if the reading is dark purple, it's definitely good enough. Ketonix sounds interesting for the other end of the scale though. Perhaps when I have had a little bit too much red wine. :D Let us know how it goes! I am interested to…

I will be getting my Charge HR on the 23rd or the 30th, unless FutureShop is lying. Please add me so that I have some friends and motivation when I start! I'm moving over from Nike Fuelband, because nothing really ties in to that tracker. https://www.fitbit.com/user/2YGGP4 Please also feel free to add me on MFP. I don't…

I make chia seed pudding, and it's very yummy. It takes a few hours though, so you can't just make it right when you want to eat it. I don't have the recipe with me right now, but this one should suffice. Creamy Coconut Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding…

Thanks for all of the suggestions. My bike crashed last year (while I wasn't on it) and I need to get new wheels. I figure it makes no sense to buy stock wheels when I can just get something a bit nicer.

That sounds like an awesome idea. I don't like peanut butter, but it would work with almond butter. Mmm!

I'm not going to tell you that you're an idiot, but soy contains phytoestrogens, not estrogen. I don't know enough about the topic, but there is some debate as to whether or not it's a problem. I personally drink coconut and almond milk instead of soy milk, but I still eat tempeh and tofu occasionally. If you want more…

Amino acids when I do hard and/or long workouts and B-12 injections because my levels aren't so great. I also use a greens supplement in smoothies when I make them.

I couldn't get past the first paragraph. If a supposedly logical article has to quote the bible to make its central point, it automatically fails.

I also wanted to say that people seem to harp on protein all the time. But I have never heard of anyone being protein deficient in Canada where I live. Unless you are going out of your way to avoid protein, you should be fine unless you are an endurance athlete (like me) or bodybuilder. Keep in mind that you get protein…

You'll have no problem with protein if you decide to go vegetarian. There are lots of non-meat sources of protein, so don't let anyone scare you. There are lots of vegan bodybuilders and athletes out there, so no issue. Personally, I'm pescatarian because I'm not a big fan of legumes or tofu. I prefer to get my protein…

A friend of mine mentioned 80/10/10 to me, but I failed to see why it would be beneficial to limit fat so much. You get so many essential fatty acids from fat and essential amino acids from protein that your body cannot produce on its own. There are no essential carbs, so I don't get why that would be the one nutrient they…

If I eat a carb-heavy meal, whether it's complex carbohydrates or not, I get hungry again very quickly. If there's more fat and protein, I'm typically not hungry for a very long time. I make a "chocolate" pudding from coconut milk, cinnamon, cocoa powder (no sugar), stevia, almond butter, vegan protein powder and…
