By not placing any qualifiers on "fruits and vegetables with a variety of nuts are a flawless diet" you were saying that it was a "flawless diet" for anyone, by default, due to the nature of the language. The additional qualifiers you're now placing on the statement are either backpedaling, moving the goalposts, or both.

Sage advice from a comedian: "Do not make a comment about a woman being pregnant unless you can actually see the baby emerging. Never. Nope, not even then."

"You've been blocked." There, I said it. What do I win? :wink:

Eating a pure raw fruit & vegetable diet? Uh, no thanks; I like dead animal flesh. Good luck, though.

This. Sadly, everyone's body loses fat from different places first. Were it not so, I'd have gotten rid of these love handles long ago. :grumble:

3x/week on the Gazelle: 30 - 45 minutes. 4x/week (sometimes more): walking 60 - 140 minutes.

Having pecs rather than moobs seems a reasonable goal.

Still none. It's hard to perv my avatar, apparently.

Unless you've got a specific medical issue, sugar's not an evil which must be avoided. Provided you're getting adequate protein and fats from the rest of your diet, there's no reason to worry about the relative lack of protein in your morning cereal; provided you're getting adequate micronutrients from your diet as a…

Yes, dehydration is bad. No, it's not possible to get dehydrated as a direct result of drinking diet soda/tea/coffee, because the diuretic effect of the caffeine in them is minimal.

The label on the cow's milk vs. the label on the almond milk disagrees with your assertion that they contain equal amounts of protein.

Never mind, more info in the first post than I originally saw.

MFP considers 1200 calories the minimum healthy amount to eat, assuming you're of relatively normal adult height; eating under that amount is not recommended. Remember that the amount of calories MFP recommends already includes a deficit. The fat and protein amounts given by MFP's default are widely considered to be…

I find this thread worth following.

And it's your belief that protein powder is "never a good idea" because it comes in "concentrations not found in nature?"

What I haven't seen you say is WHY isolating one macronutrient is "never a good idea," regarding any of the macronutrients in general, or protein specifically. Care to elaborate?

Remember, cookies are a sometimes food. . . .

Lamb stew and alcohol; is there any other way? I hear that green beer doesn't have calories on St. Patrick's Day. . . .

[/quote]That would depend on your setting I guess - if you log your exercise separately (which running would be logged that way) then I wouldn't include it in my activity level I would log it separately. What I am saying is daily activity such as the walking you do at work and house work were things I did before so I…

What part didn't make sense. Perhaps I can clarify.

If you ran 5k every weekend, and trained for it during the week, while at a caloric surplus, you'd gain weight. Does it really make sense to say that you shouldn't count the activities that you did while at a caloric surplus, once you're striving to achieve a caloric deficit?

Are you using a food scale?

Did someone mention perving on bacon? IN!

Losing weight was cheaper than buying bigger clothes, and the money saved on junk food allows my to buy better fitting clothes.

On that calorie per day goal, you'll need to eat back exercise calories in order to avoid falling below the 1200 calories per day 'floor' that the MFP calculator considers the healthy minimum. I'm guessing you told the calculator that you're female, sedentary, and want to lose 2lb/week (MFP's largest recommended per week…

Here's one link to a variety of folks at 5'7" and +/- 132 pounds: http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/507-130.html You'll perhaps notice that different folks carry the weight differently.
