The article presented no real evidence that it negatively impacts gut health in humans. If you don't want to consume it, I have zero issues with people's personal choices. Just don't cite unsubstantiated reasons for doing it and thereby extending the myth.

Points of order: You read an article, not a study. Having only read this article, The substantive research was done on mice. Then they threw this info in there: "These patterns do not prove that the sweeteners caused the problems. Indeed, it is quite possible that overweight people are simply more likely than others to…

As long as they aren't used spikes becuase those railroad ties are soaked in creosote. Last I heard, it was a legit toxin. ETA: Fell for the zombie. The creosote probably did it. EATA: Creosote made the thread zombie, not made me fall for it.

Zero truth to the thought that artificial sweeteners cause people to put on weight around the mid section.

You need look no further for the answer as to why your BP has risen.

That sounds like it would be painful. :wink:

I now understand where you're coming from.

You committed a crime. Assault. And all over being called fat? I'd be in prison if I did that every time I've been called fat in my life.

These smoothly recipes have very little sugar in them. http://youtu.be/cLmK2qrQDdU

My mom got suckered into buying it at one of those Mall Kiosks. She them found out how much caffeine was in it and gave it to me. It tastes terrible but it's useful for staying awake for an extra hour of studying or what not. For weight loss, it's BS.

Infinity plus 1?

I eagerly await these studies. Though I'm expecting two blog posts or an excerpt from a fad diet book.

It's not poison. People get fat from eating too much of any of those foods. Go over in calories, gain weight.

I don't tell people that aren't among my circle of like minded people that I'm eating at a deficit. I don't tell them what time I go to bed or what method I use for dental care either. I tend not to share information that would be trivial and boring to others becuase I'm aware that what I take an interest in concerning…

No. It does not work. Luckily, calorie deficits are a less expensive alternative to supplements that do nothing. And they have the bonus of a guarantee of working if you can stick with it.

Lol.

There are people that are told EVERY SINGLE DAY, all over the world, that if they don't stop a certain activity it will, without question, kill them. This is a false analogy. The premise is false. I would not try to motivate anyone using something as faulty as this. I would also not try to motivate someone using fear.…

I've always been a double bagger when it comes to any sort of running or plyometrics. At my heaviest, I was a US size H-I. Now I'm a DDD. What works for me is a supportive, tight fitting underwire bra covered by a two sizes too small sports bra. I use Bali styles for my underwire and any cheap brand over. I have purchased…

I take medical advice from dudes that have been dead for nearly 2400 years too.

Wheat only causes inflammation in people who lack the enzyme that breaks down gluten, a type of protein commonly found in grains. It's like being lactose intolerant. Those people lack the ability to naturally produce an enzyme that is key to breaking down lactose, a protien found in dairy. Just as not everyone is unable to…

50+ and very sedentary? Unless very sedentary is coma patient style sedentary, even 50+ generally need more that 1200 for proper energy intake and nutritional requirements. Height plays a much bigger role than age. You could make the generalization for women under 5', over 50 and sedentary but not really for all people 50+…

Knee highs, running in place, mountain climbers, dive bombers, googling

I think you and bcf7683 did a great job of dispelling the negativity that got started in here. I hope the OP wasn't discouraged by it at the start but was highly encouraged when your useful posts began. :flowerforyou:

Oh, so the word naturally isn't really a good word to use for what you're trying to get across. Got it. But now I'm curious why never having been out of the average weight groups affects this?

^^this If you enjoy it, it doesn't matter if you don't make it to pro levels. And if you do make it to pro levels, then it's just icing.

What is "naturally lean"?

You might find the video incredibly interesting then.

I find it equally interesting to look at how we behave because of our looks and how we perceive society behaving. Are we assigning behavours and reactions to people and situations because that's the filter we're viewing them through? Perception can be your personal twisted reality if you let it be despite what actual…

Oh, I know.
