what you need to remember is that most people on this site are obese people who are successfully on their way to being not obese any more, and also a good many ex-obese people who have successfully become non-obese people... most of the people who are outspoken in advising people that VLCDs are not necessary and cause a…

^^^ this because overeating and binge eating are a normal survival response to eating too little (in some cases it's emotional but in most cases it's the direct result of eating too little). Most women seem to underestimate how many calories they need. There's a thread on here "your guide on your path to sexypants" which…

It will run out of fat before metabolising vital organs. Metabolising of vital organs only happens in the extreme, advanced stages of starvation - when the person looks like a walking skeleton and has less than 1% body fat and virtually no skeletal muscle left) and is a last ditched attempt by the body to survive... and…

because fat is what's going to make you survive a food shortage - your body wants to make your fat last as long as possible. This is why your body will catabolise skeletal muscle to make fat last longer in a food shortage. Also, your BMR is reduced by more than what you'd expect from the catabolism of lean mass alone (this…

@ Flab 2 fit - granted - but it had to be amputated (but it doesn't hurt now!) @ softn cuddly - granted, but OMG we just removed two entire days from existence and now we're collapsing into a huge rift in the spacetime continuum @ bcoop - granted - but the same aliens that made jeets win the iron man race also captured you…

granted. but after you win it turns out the race was organised by a group of alien galactic overlords with the intention of finding the strongest, fittest human, which is you because you won, so they transport you to their home planet and keep you in a zoo and conduct experiments on you to learn more about humans I wish I…

or do starting strength, which has excellent information and a really good workout (not that different to stronglifts - but the information that comes with starting strength is what makes it better than stronglifts) that said, I'm doing stronglifts because I was broke at the time I started lifting properly. but I would…

Granted. It's 42. But now everyone wants to know what the question was. (for my wish see the post above)

Granted. But in order for that to be possible, the species Homo sapiens had to be eradicated. So we're all dead. Time will tell whether bonobos will evolve to be the dominant species or not. I wish I was at baskin robbins right now.

I find food a lot more satisfying if I eat it slowly. but as long as you're logging carefully and staying within your calorie goal without too much difficulty, then really it doesn't matter how fast you eat. Eating slower may help you to feel fuller on the same amount of calories, which may help people to stick to their…

I have no idea. I'm just in this for the shrodinger kitty gifs

Not all diabetes is the same..... type 1 diabetes usually would mean not fasting at all. type 2 it would probably depend on the individual - fasting may actually help some people with this. it is true that a permanent medical reason to not fast means that they never have to make up the fasts. you only make up the fasts…

I find that watching videos of people lifting badass amounts of weight on you tube, and/or listening to upbeat music helps me to get motivated to start working out. California Strength videos are particularly good (combination of really impressive lifts, upbeat music and humour, plus it has that kind of camaradarie…

this one got missed, so.... granted, and you rise to become queen of the universe, but your life becomes so boring and predictable with everyone doing exactly what you want that you get really bored, and then one person finds a way to resist the mind control and assassinates you and they become queen of the universe…

granted - but your neighbours are having renovations done and the sound of loud drilling, hammering and a mechanical digger right outside is driving you slowly insane (for my wish see the last post)

Granted.... but knowing what everyone thinks about you and also knowing about everyone's private pain and suffering drives you slowly insane. I wish I was in the British countryside right now, with the British climate (instead of stuck here in Bahrain with the ridiculous heat and humidity)

granted. but due to the current complete and total collapse of civilisation, your pieces of paper are only worth anything as tinder for starting fires, and you don't have any matches or any other way to light a fire because you had to flee from your home to escape people who want to kill you and eat you because they don't…

is there a medical reason for you to avoid sodium? You need a certain amount of it. My mum was hospitalised recently due to not having enough sodium - she's not a health nut, she eats a normal diet, just follows the standard dietary advice... she had no idea that there was such a thing as too little sodium. you should have…

YOU ATE BAMBI!!!! Just kidding :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I'm moving back to the UK soon... I totally would love to eat venison, and will try those burgers if they're not to expensive............ Although I'd rather have a minted lamb burger for burgers. but venison has better macros for getting your…

yeah that's the stuff... I always called it candy floss I like it though, the taste and the texture. Also, it can't have that many calories in it, seeing as it's mostly air :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'd love to try bison... but it's not on sale here in Bahrain I had camel when I lived in Saudi Arabia though...

cotton candy is what I called candy floss when I was a kid... I'm from southern UK.. maybe it's called fairy floss in other places?

most of what they sell in krispy kreme. really too sweet and no flavour besides sugar, or occasionally caramel. There are exceptions, but most krispy kreme is just fancy decorated sugar. I like my donuts less sweet and with more flavour.

wait, what...? you don't want a black magic solution to your love marriage problems?? I'm.... I'm.... speechless.

that's because shroedinger put the kitty in a box and no-one knows if it's dead or alive.

someone can be 100% right or 100% wrong at any given point in spacetime. But if you consider their entire life, they will not be 100% right during 100% of their lifespan, or 100% wrong for 100% of their lifespan. Although on that particular cat, I believe the cat is capable of observing for itself whether it is alive or…

I agree. Also, just because someone says something intelligent, it doesn't mean people should believe everything they say without question either. No-one's 100% right or 100% wrong and even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

first cousin marriage is legal in the UK also, it should say "first cousin" - because cousin means any two people who share a common ancestor, and we're all descended from the same African population dated to around 60,000 years ago, so everyone is in a relationship with their cousin. The difference is whether it's your…
