there's no way 1200 cals/day is enough food if you're putting in long days and looking after a kid. I'd guess you burn twice that in a day. Calculate your calories with a decent calculator, be honest about your activity factor - if you're on your feet all day you're probably moderately active. For a couple of weeks eat at…

^^^ this the confusion lies in the fact that there is more than one way to create a calorie deficit the MFP method you have a calorie deficit before you exercise and you're supposed to eat back your exercise calories - if you don't eat back the exercise calories there's a danger your deficit will be too big and you'll…

It seems that way when you can release a film called "free willy" in America and no-one appears to have any issue with the title :open_mouth:

I always have this urge to pronounce anion to rhyme with onion and cation to rhyme with station... Oh I just love English phonics and chemistry.

Free Willy (you have to be British to understand that one)

I think I have been that crazy neighbour.... when I was a teenager, my family had a barbeque, and my family is kind of cursed in that every time we have a barbeque it rains (well maybe that's just how it is in Britain lol...) - and my family will insist that barbeque food *must* be eaten outdoors, no matter what the…

it's in group 7 so the atom has 7 electrons in the outer shell... for it to be a positive ion it'd have to lose an electron, which AFAIK doesn't happen with group 7 elements (i.e. they form negative ions by gaining electrons) if there's some deeper aspect of chemistry that I'm missing here, then I plead being a biologist…

I don't think that it is remotely healthy to do that, and it's not something you should see as being desirable or better than what you're doing. Aim to be healthy, and aim to love and appreciate yourself for the shape that you are when you're at a healthy body fat percentage and are fit and strong. Not everyone has the…

If you're 35 years old you don't have a hope in hell of growing any taller. You want to know your mistake in that diet plan? You're making it way way way way way more complicated than it needs to be. Just have a calorie goal with a sensible deficit for slow and steady weight loss, and stick to your calorie goal, while…

well done on your success so far :smile: How long have you been stuck at the same weight? If it's only a couple of weeks, give it a bit longer as sometimes weight loss happens in fits and starts even if you're doing everything right. the most common reason for weight loss stalling is inaccurate logging - that's probably…

living organisms are sensitive, that means they respond to changes in the internal and external environment.... so yes bodies can tell you an awful lot, and not just human bodies. Even amoebas and relatively simple organisms get information from their internal environment. There are lots of examples where the body lets the…

yes.... Homo erectus didn't know what nutrients they needed yet managed to get a balanced diet nevertheless (assuming adequate food was available)...... there are some mechanisms whereby you crave foods that contain nutrients you need more of, and start to get tired/sick of foods if you're getting too much of one…

The most common cause of yo yo dieting is people making the diet too difficult to stick to in the first place, and also this goes with all-or-nothing thinking...... you don't need to be perfect to lose weight, you don't need to lose weight quickly, you don't need to torture yourself with exercise that you hate, you don't…

just bumping this because I want to post something in the new and improved forums but can't think of anything substantial to post, so I thought I'd just be really really negative by making a load more electrons move through the internet

do bears sh** in the woods? strong glute muscles

If the original series was in the 80s then yes (had to google to check that)

this problem may be caused by having relatively long femurs/short shins. basically because the femurs are relatively longer, your centre of gravity goes back too far and you fall backwards. If you can squat easily with your heels raised but only have the problem with your feet flat on the floor, then that's another reason…

I agree about continuing with therapy also be aware that binge eating is a normal survival response to eating too little. Don't beat yourself up about binge eating, it's likely the survival response kicking in.... which is why it's important to continue with therapy and eat the amount of food you're told to eat, so your…

What do you call a man with a plank on his head? Edward What do you call a man with 3 planks on his head? Edward Woodward ETA: this joke may only work in a British accent and I don't know if Edward Woodward was well known in the USA either...

with the lost/stuck/stranded stories the best advice is to get them to go to the embassy for advice, or even offer to call the embassy for them with details of their location. It's very easy to get the contact details of embassies online and if someone is contacting you online asking for money, they can just as easily…

I interpreted it a bit more loosely... my answer involves going back 100,000 years lol... but my first thought was in the UK (where I'm from) 200 years ago... imagining working in a factory and living in a slum. No idea if I'd survived that. But I could have been born rich, or in the countryside rather than the city, or in…

yep just eat what you want to eat and don't feel you have to justify your food choices to anyone. the labels are getting silly anyway Apparently I'm a stultatarian. That means I only eat stupid animals. So no apes, dolphins or elephants for me. And definitely no humans.

why would you have to be in America though?

I ask this question all the time, only about surviving 100,000 years ago. skills: Flint knapping, how to make stone-tipped spears, how to track and hunt animals, how to trap and kill animals with a close range thrusting spear, how to identify edible plants/fungi/insects locally, how to smoke out a bee hive, how to light a…

what do you call a fly with no wings? a walk

Electrolysis of the tears of children and the innocent produces hydrogen gas (which is explosive), chlorine gas (which is toxic) and sodium hydroxide, which can be used to make oven cleaner.

I tried to bring some positivity online by trying to get some of the protons to flow as well, but they were all stuck in the nuclei and didn't want to budge. So I tried to separate a few of them from the nuclei and ........ BOOM!!!! .....almost started world war three!!! sheesh!!

I don't understand this thread at all. Can someone please explain it to me.

All around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love who's far, far away Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost I'll sing…
