The bolded bit. That's organic fertilizer. http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/green-guide/buying-guides/fertilizer/environmental-impact/?rptregcta=reg_free_np&rptregcampaign=20131016_rw_membership_r1p_us_se_w#

Do you even have a large intestine? You know, that place in your body that absorbs water from everything we eat, all mixed up together...

How could your blood type possible influence what you should eat? By the time food reaches your blood, it's all broken down into it's constituent parts anyway. Total pseudoscientific hype.

Yeah. It is worded a bit awkwardly, but "there are few convincing outcome data to indicate that the ingestion of a high amount of protein (2-3 g x kg(-1) BW x day(-1), where BW = body weight) is necessary" does sound to me like they are saying there isn't real data to support 3 g/kg (~1.5g/lb). Although, it could be read…

Yeah, no... When I saw a nutritionist for my prediabetes, she just said "drink enough to stay hydrated". No long lectures on the maximum concentrations of solutes the water may contain before it magically becomes not water.

Sounds like a $20 food scale would be a lot more useful.

You can do HIIT in a fed or fasted state, depending on you, your body, your schedule etc... I generally do my workouts first thing in the morning then eat breakfast as I simply am not hungry before hand. If I do eat first, I need at least an hour to digest my food before I can workout. But, I wouldn't do SSC and then…

Are you on a specific program, designed to work all your muscles over the course of a week? Or do you just pick a machine at random and do a few sets? I'd suggest, if you are not on a program, to find one that has a certain rep range/weight built in (and uses stuff you have available) and stick to that for the duration.…

If you want help, you have to be willing to be open and honest. Correct your ticker, open your diary and give us some hint that you are reading what we say and taking it on board. For a male of 20 years old (if that bit is correct*) you need to be eating way more than you have indicated here. Weight lifting distorting your…

Maybe it was the OP... ...see!?! :laugh:

Yup. Lets say I get 100% of my required nutrients for the day, so N = 100. I eat 2,000 calories. H = 100/2,000 = 0.05 Now, assume I eat twice as many nutrients the next day (but the same total calories): H = 200/2,000 = 0.1 Am I actually healthier on day 2? This "equation" says I am, but if I ate all the nutrients my body…

Hmmm - a [citation needed] is needed there. Jan 12th, Sep 23rd and 26th, and July 1st are all given as answers if you look at the related questions. Who (other than Hallmark) decides on these things???

Sometimes when we think we are hungry, we are really just thirsty. So yeah, having a drink of water can quench the thirst, so then we don't eat, so then we lose weight faster. However, there is nothing magical about the water in that. Almost any other non or very low calorie drink would do the same. Yes, even coffee. [High…

You are probably tired because you are not eating enough! Your deficit is too big. Eat more. What is your calories goal, TDEE etc?
-
If you lose too fast, you will also lose muscle mass along with the fat. Your body can only mobilize so much fat in a given time, and if you aren't using the muscle, it'll take that too. If maintaining your current muscle is important to you, then slow down the rate of loss, eat enough protein and do some sort of…

But won't that make my nose bulky?

You can deal lift with dumbbells, but 9 kg is not going to cut it for long. As others have said, you want to adding weight each time, and many newbies end up pulling their own body weight pretty quickly. A typical program for gaining strength will have you doing 3-5 sets of 5-10 reps (with a weight as heavy as you can…

Your husband is correct. Adding Mio to water is no different to adding lemon juice, tea or coffee. Your body can't tell the difference (and the diuretic properties of caffeine have been exaggerated). Just drink enough *liquid* so your pee isn't dark yellow.
-
+1. I am rarely hungry first thing in the morning, so I don't eat til I am.
-
If you use TDEE, it includes exercise. Then you subtract a certain % to give you a deficit. -20% if you have a lot to lose, -10% for a medium amount, and -5% if you are close to your goal. MFP number has the deficit already built in (based on how much you told it you want to lose per week), but then you "earn" extra…

Is it still DHMO if it has EtOH in it?
-
Darn it. In that case I'm going to have a glass of milk. And a cookie.

In for the roll!

Which bit of that came from the Bible? I don't remember too much emphasis on fuzzy logic in there.

It is not (imho) a black and white precious vs not precious. Rather, I think in terms of a sliding scale of "preciousness", even within the class of "humans". Myself and my immediate family are most precious to me, closely followed by extended family and close friends, then even more extended family, distant friends,…

Interesting analysis. Thanks for sharing!

So ketogenic diet and taking you a long time to recover? Too tired to work out and passing out giving blood? Sounds to me like you need to replenish your glycogen stores. Eat some carbs! I personally don't think this diet really is working for you. Yes, you lost the weight, but so what if you can't actually do anything?…

My work has a small gym, which is very nice but no barbells. I use it for "accessory" workouts plus some cardio. Plus, its free! I have my own squat rack in my garage.
