Noooooooo hell no, I agree completely with your sentiment, we're on the same page, there's nothing wrong with ANY food, except sea food high up on the food chain, like tuna, it needs to be limited. Heavy metal toxicity is a real concern. Other than that, there is no one food item that can be consumed that could or should…

From Leangains: "First and foremost, the effect on satiety is far superior to both carbs and fat. This ensures good diet compliance, since you won't get hungry and risk overeating. Secondly, TEF (Thermic Effect of Food) is much greater for protein than for both carbs and fat. It's so significant that a researcher named…

When you are close to your goals, a less drastic cut is actually more helpful in keeping your progress moving forward. The more you cut, the deeper you cut makes your body shift and adapt, in the same way that it adapted to overeating by storing the extra food as fat. The longer you cut, the more your hormones shift into a…

Crawl out of here, it may take some effort, but the forum title should be read by you in the future: Chit chat, fun, and games. I only wish I could add the sounds he made to that gif..

It's been a couple of days since my appointment with the hypnotherapist, and I wanted to take the time to really digest what happened to me on Wednesday after the appointment. I had a couple reservations about hypnosis and whether it actually works or not, and the results are in, for me anyways. It works IF you're a person…

Indeed, I describe myself as having switches, as it were. I'm either on or off. Things are either black or white, right or wrong. I don't see much gray area. Why do I feel the need to be so great? I just feel compelled, as if I attain some status, some great achievement, my father will finally like me. I *know* that it's…

I feel you. It took a lot of courage to write that. My hat is off to you, sir. I know what you mean, and I'm saying positive things to myself, and acting confident. I'm sure I'll get there, but the nagging sensation of "that's not true" hangs around after every positive thing I say. I don't want to LOOK better I want to BE…

GoGlam that was hillarious, thank you SO much for a morning lol. Which Star Trek episode is that? I thought I had seen them all..... OH! and, funny lol gif for everyone..

The reason why I'm asking here is because I have, I've been to therapists since I was 11. None of them have given me an answer on how to let go of my father's disapproval, my own internal voice of self hate, and how to reconcile feeling joy from people's praise without letting their criticism hurt me - in the same way that…

Yeah.. you are amazing! I'm so happy for your success! @_@ like, zombie eyed here. Only let in what deserves to be in.. When you stop giving all your energy away cheap, & start putting it only into your own life & what benefits you; you start to really value yourself, your time & energy & happiness. Because, I AM valuable,…

To both of the above.. you've hit the nail on the head.. the problem is that the "hole" I am trying to fill, as it were, is a black hole, it's a bottomless pit. There's no amount of happy that I can throw into it that will make it go away. If I try and use the adoration of others to make me feel good, it won't ever be…

I kowtow to your response. By engaging in the activities and actions that I would respect myself for, I will gain the respect of others. The problem last night/today was I didn't act in a manner that I would respect. I'm too hard on myself. I need to keep in mind that tomorrow is another day, and the opportunities and…

I've surrounded myself with no one though. I have friends, people I care about, but I am always in a guarded stance, if that makes sense. I try to engineer my life not to ever have to rely on others, because others have almost always let me down. Not that I'm not willing, I just feel like people see me, and they don't…

And I'm sure he appreciates all your hard work and dedication, the effort that it takes to look good. :drinker:

^ That What you see when you perform the same exercise week in and week out is that your body adapts to the movement, it becomes more efficient at it. When you have amazing endurance from training for a marathon-like-thing, leisurely efforts are no longer a challenge for you. This is why I hate cardio. Specifically,…

Eat more low calorie, high volume, water filled foods. My favorites to stave off hunger are steamed rice seasoned with a little bit of rice vinegar and mirin (sweet rice wine). 3oz of steamed white rice = 3/4 cup cooked rice 225 Calories 50 Carbs 5 protein Vinegar & Mirin - 1 TBL (1/2 TBL of each) 45 calories 10 Carbs…

Don't worry, we all go through this. The ravenous feeling right now is actually the best feeling when it comes to losing weight, it's how you know your metabolism is switched "on" and craving energy, instead of being in a more conservative stance. What I mean is, our bodies were made to adapt. From summer where food…

Generally, water weight is lost in the first week when starting a calorie cut and changing your diet from surplus calories to deficient calories. On average, eating at a surplus means that you will have more sodium in your diet from day to day, and sodium has to be balanced with water in the proper ratios. Eat more salt,…

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14681716 Hypo-osmotic cellular swelling (being completely hydrated) promotes lipid (fat) breakdown, while counteracting proteolysis (breaking proteins down into amino acids). Staying fully hydrated also showed a decrease in insulin sensitivity. Simply put, you will see greater fatty acid…

Not sure if troll or serious... You burn X amount of calories by existing each day. In the lone starvation study that was done during WWII, the subjects all had *ahem* "starvation mode". Their BMR's decreased by about 20%. That's it. You DO see a reduction, but that's with people who already have a low bodyfat percentage,…

Honestly, I think the eat more concept is grounded in the fact that when people cut too many calories, they tend to overportion or mini-binge at meals, having one or two more forkfulls of food than they calculated or weighed. So in reality their cut wasn't as strict as they thought, and by setting more reasonable goals for…

Ow ow ow ow ow I actually tried to read the above 3 paragraphs. The key to what the above poster wrote was that the above... WORKED FOR HER. Funny how everyone gets a calculator and a math formula, and are now experts. 40/30/30 is a zone diet, and it does nicely. Paleo works well too, as do many many low carb diets and…

Personally, I take my TDEE, subtract the daily calories needed to lose 1.5 lbs per week, and make that my goal, while adding strength training 3 times per week and HIIT twice a week. I don't spend more than 30 minutes in the gym per day. You just don't need to. Lifting heavy takes maybe 15 minutes total, with rest periods.…
