First of all, some people poop three times a week, some poop three times a day, and all that's normal. Unless you're having problems or feeling uncomfortable, don't worry about it. Otherwise, prunes.

HOLY CRAP GUYS HOLD THE PHONE WE'VE ALL BEEN PROVEN WRONG HERE. THIS LADY FOUND A DOCTOR ON YOUTUBE. The CDC clearly has no idea what they're talking about. Hey, did you send that youtube video to the CDC? I bet they'll want to know about that, god knows they've obviously been wrong for so long. Man, you are so right, I…

I thought we were talking about vaccinations, not fat people. Were you dropped on the head as a child? I met somebody like you once, someone who just sort of went from thought to thought to thought without making any real connections between them. Makes it tough to carry on a conversation.

Nobody's jealous. It's just very clear that you are misinformed, and that's dangerous, because you seem to be running around spouting off completely bull**** information. Imagine that you convince a parent, via the internet, not to vaccinate their kid, and their kid contracts whooping cough and dies. How crappy would you…

There are several kinds of flu vaccines. Those that are injected are actually inactivated virus (that is, they're dead) and cannot give you the flu. The flu shot actually confers better immunity than that which is conferred by getting the virus and then fighting it off, because the flu shot gives you protection against…

Vaccines are not filled with mercury. They just aren't. You are confused. Years ago, some vaccines were packaged with a preservative called thimerosal, which helped them not go bad before they get into people. One of the components that thimerosal breaks down into is ethyl mercury. Your body eliminates that in your urine…

They limit number of pills because most people are too dumb to be able to add up 250 mg + 250 mg + 250 mg. In many cases it's easier and safer to just say a number of pills.

Tapeworm diets were really big back in the day (many decades ago). My only concern is, once you've lost all the weight and are ready to stop, how do you get the (now HYOOOOGE) tapeworm out?

Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't sound normal to me. Have you talked to a doctor about this?

Also, just be aware that people will keep posting snarky replies because they don't really bother to read past the first post. Don't worry about it!

Dang, this brings me back to my eating-disordered teenage years. That was over a decade ago! It should tell you something that this "diet" was popularized by anorexic teenagers hanging out in internet forums full of pictures of skeletons and tips on how to throw up more effectively.

Generally we would consider the average range for heart rate to be between 60 and 100. Some really fit people will have a lower resting heart rate, like in the 50s or maybe even 40s.

It's not an oxymoron, it's WELL-BALANCED. Right?

Make sure you're getting enough fiber. Nothing like being constipated to make you want to throw in the towel.

There are lots of different kinds of hot yoga - I do Moksha, which has some poses similar to Bikram but the emphasis is on being kind and gentle with your body (instead of the "no pain no gain" attitude I've found in many Bikram classes) and yes, working hard, but not enough that you are hurting or not enjoying yourself. I…

Mmm... nope. Your body doesn't care where fat is coming from, it digests them all similarly. It sounds like you're trying to distinguish between saturated and unsaturated fats ("good" and "bad" aren't particularly specific, and your body has no way of determining what you find good or bad) and bile breaks 'em all down. It…

Probably you should talk to a doctor, as none of us know you or your medical history.

I'm pretty sure high-fat is actually the opposite of how you should eat if you don't have a gallbladder. Your gallbladder collects and stores bile, which is kind of key in digesting fat. If you don't have a gallbladder, bile just flows into your intestine continuously and as a result you won't digest fat as well and it can…

The problem isn't whether or not you can lose weight. Of course you can. The problem is that when you're done (or if something happens, say you get sick or injured) and you want to decrease your exercise or increase your calorie intake, chances are high that you will gain more weight back than you would like.

Wait, so why isn't an IUD covered? It doesn't count as a prescription drug? That's some arbitrary insurance you've got there if that's the case. It requires a prescription to get. Maybe double-check on that one? I have insurance that covered nearly all my IUD under the prescription drug benefits section. I have the Mirena…

I assume you're talking about the Advocare Spark stuff. You know that Spark is essentially caffeine and a multivitamin? As in, my daily cup of coffee and standard multivitamin gives me the EXACT same thing, except Spark has a bunch of artificial flavours and colours in it. Also it's probably more expensive. Which is fine,…

You know there's no actual hCG in "homeopathic" hCG, right? First of all, it's illegal. So you're paying a whole bunch of money for what is essentially water drops. If you'd like to continue on that path, I have a fantastic deal for you - take whatever you're paying for the drops, cut it in half, and I'll sell you all the…

For the record, CINAHL isn't a journal, it's a database, and it's not medical in the strictest sense either - it's the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature.

It's mostly made out of whey protein and a bunch of emulsifiers and stabilizers and flavours and things. But essentially it's a frozen protein shake.

Too much fibre can also actually block up your intestine and cause a bowel obstruction which is horrible. Why are you getting 80g a day? That's ridiculous.

I'm in Vancouver and just lived through a minor monsoon followed by a short hailstorm. Don't go outside today. It's not worth it.

I found a huge grasshopper in my bagged salad as a kid. I was about eight or nine, and the bug was as big as half my hand.

Meh. I did a Whole30 (which is about as strict paleo as it gets) and I lost 5 pounds maybe, but that all came back on as soon as I started eating something other than chicken and cabbage. I just didn't like it. It was a big pain in the butt and too restrictive for me.

Dang. It doesn't seem like it now, but you dodged a bullet, my friend. If your ex-wife couldn't handle a positive change like your gaining health, can you imagine what she'd do if something bigger happened? Jeez. Take some time to take a breath, focus on yourself for a bit. This is a time of transition - a really, really…
