Scott, the liver is the primary source of cholesterol and diet plays but a small part. High cholesterol is generally genetic. Raising the HDL count will lower the LDL. Ways to increase the HDL is eat more mono and poly unsaturated fats. I dont want to take statins so my doc told me to try Niacin (Nicotinic acid ) -…

I gotta share this. 2 years ago I was working in West Hope, ND. It is a great town with great people, population 429. One day I made a comment on everyone leaving their cars unlocked and often left running in the middle of down town while the owners took care of business. The person told me the only time they locked their…

Dayum! What kind of surgery did you have? No pacemaker? I cant imagine a hr that high when resting. Glad youre ok. BTW If that is your dog in your profile pics and you shaved the poor thing like that, you should be horse whipped! JK LOL Too funny.

Unless you have been tested, your max hr is a theoretical number. Everyone's is different.

Today I went to the bariatric center and had a Medgem test for RMR. The Dietician (very qualified person) then calculated my TDEE and arrived at 2303 calories. 2 weeks ago I used heybales spreadsheet and calculated it to be 2336. Pretty darn close! LOL I know, I know, dont get your frillies in a big wad - these…

GAWD that is so damn funny. Eat a casserole! It's been a long held theory that if men had big boomers they would be so distracted that they couldnt drive.

You are right, the wrong shoes will hurt us, but....LOL....presently, as far as I know, there has not been a shoe manufacturer that will declare or can provide a conclusive study supporting the concept that their overpriced motion control- cushioned-arch supporting shoes prevent injury. The fact is that modern running…

I once wore heels for Halloween. I was so fat that when I walked out back I struck oil.

Just so happens Im going to the local bariatric center tomorrow to have my RMR checked. The price of the RMR test includes a consultation with the RD so maybe I will learn something pertinent to this thread. One thing my GP always says and it makes sense; people arent precision machines and their systems are unique from…

Dr. Oz? LOL Sorry, I couldnt help myself. For what it's worth, I do agree with you.:flowerforyou:

So right you are. I only wear shoes to protect my feet from abrasion. I run in NB Minimus and Merrill Vapor Gloves. I just bought the Xero Huaraches and will be transitioning to them as they have a 5,000 mile warranty. I suffered with shin splints for years & since going minimalist, I have had no pain or injury - other…

First thing I noticed looking at your pics is that you are swinging your arms across your chest. An issue many runners have, but more so with women as they are trying to counter the weight of their...ahem, upper body. LOL "to direct all your momentum forward, swing arms vertically along the side of the body with elbows…

Ive heard of people using almonds and I wouldnt hesitate to try cashews. I suggest you google satay almonds or cashews and just see what is out there....course, I love satay with peanuts. Sometimes I will mix natural PB with cayenne, seasoning salt & garlic powder and slap it on a piece of bread.

My question is not off base just because you wish it were. It is credible and you wont address it. Truth is not your friend in this debate and all you have left is rhetoric and youre slinging as much as you can to obfuscate the issue. The worse obscenity is that we the tax payers picked up the bill for many of his deviant…

You then also consider Larry Flynt as an "accomplished" purveyor of "fine art". LOL #1 Mappelthorpe was not an artist, he was a pornographer and most certainly a very nasty piece of work. Also a total waste of humanity....and you considering a photo of a bullwhip inserted in a guy's pooper as "fine art" & "beautiful"…

Robt Mapplethorpe & his brethren belittled art. He was especially one nasty piece of work. Throwing feces on a wall or exhibiting a crucifix in a jar of urine is not art. It is an attack on others and meant to be offensive. Seems you are expanding on the definition of art. Many deviants have hid their objectionable…

Dr Oz suggested that a master cleanse and a super colonic using joy dish washing soap would fix what ails a body....and what about Shakeology? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?:yawn:

LOL My good lady, that slanderous incident in the produce section was all a minor misunderstanding born from a very fertile imagination .....and I assure you , after they cleaned up the damaged melons all was left in good...er, ahem, form....:wink:

I dont plan my runs - dont know where or how far until I get there. LOL I carry a phone & wear an SPI belt with Gu, house key, $20 bill & a band aid in a zip lock bag, and a water bottle huggie. The huggie has a hand strap and is nylon covered neoprene. It holds a regular 16oz bottle. If the need arises I can stop at a…

Port Arthur, Texas was a wild & wooly port and oil center. This is where Texaco and Gulf Oil originated. Roughnecks and sailors from all over the world lost their money and sometimes blood in this raw bone town. One of the main streets, Houston Ave was crowded with saloons, gambling and cat houses. There was an alley that…

"Exercise experts have found ways to make the most of the VO2 max number during your training, including ways to push that number higher.

LOL. Ive been running forever and Im still fat.

Congrats. I remember hitting my first, second & third miles. Felt so empowered. Achievement is the brass ring. It is the sweet cream on the cake....but dont forget the primary achievement in running is lacing up and hitting the road when you have a million excuses not to. Dont forget, youre a runner, and runners run.
