If you want it that much just go ahead and take it, but plan better the next day and make room for it so you don't go over again. Something has got to give. To put it in perspective, lack of coconut oil is not going to lead into malnutrition as long as you have a balanced diet. It's ok to go over once in a while, but you…

So, basically the reasons are: 1. Ethical vegetarians who still love the taste of meat. 2. Fitting in with meat eaters for social events. 3. Convenience.

High Fructose Corn Syrup has been demonized too often just because of the name. HFCS for soft drinks despite the name contains about 55% fructose and 45% glucose, compared to regular sugar at 50% fructose and 50% glucose. Switching from HFCS to table sugar is not going to make any noticeable difference other than taste.…

I was never really addicted to Soda, I just kinda like it. I just want to point out that while I can hardly stand Diet Coke, I drink Coke Zero maybe once a week.

I'm not sure what calculation MFP uses, it tends to prescribe 1200 calories daily max for most women wanting to lose 2lbs or more a week.

I use: - MFP to track calories - Full Fitness to track my runs and lifts - 5K runner for the initial 5K - 5K forever to improve my 5K time

Plateaus are points where your weight loss stops even though your level of eating and exercising has not changed. I think our body is quite adaptive to ensure our survival, so it is constantly becoming more efficient as you restrict calories and add workouts. There is obviously a limit to this ability --as you simply can't…

Great post! Just from my experience alone I can tell that my body becomes more efficient in its energy expenditure, meaning the more I exercise the less calories I spend for the same effort. Heart rate is a good approximation for calorie expenditure, and since my heart rate is getting lower and lower for the same speed &…

I quit drinking a while back. I couldn't care less what others think. When pressed I tell them that I get ugly when I'm drunk, they always leave me alone after that. Needless to say I have absolutely no problem with non-drinking gals.

Pretty much all supplements and commercial exercises have 18+ disclaimer, that's more about limiting legal liability than anything else. Kids do gymnastics and other potentially more dangerous stuff than Insanity from an early age. I say it's good that a teacher takes the initiative to do something different. I'm beginning…

I love cheesecake, but I would get full at the 3rd piece. I can't eat that much anymore...

Tattoos and piercings are choices people make, just like clothes. It's true that tattoos can't be removed and changed as easily as clothes, but since we're not born with them, there must be a point where a choice is made. If you accept that a job interviewer can reject you because you fail to dress appropriately for the…

I believe that we as mammals are genetically programmed to be attached to (and protective of) a mate, to improve the survival rate of our offsprings. But, people are different. Personally it's not easy for me to be attracted enough to a woman to sleep with her, but not attracted enough to build a relationship. I can't…

My pet peeve is the "lose weight with this one weird old tip" ad, which invariably leads to garcinia cambogia pills. Ow **** now I'm gonna see it again.

In before guys who say "if stuff bothers you, you're not working out hard enough".

A man shallow enough to dismiss you due to your boobs is a man not worth worrying about.

Nobody cares about who you marry, until they have to shell out money because of it, or give you something for it. The government doesn't care if you marry on paper only as long as you don't derive any tax or support benefit, neither does the insurance company. If you marry a random stranger and not get anything out of it,…

I've been to H&M several times. Since they're a European brand their sizes tend to be on the small side, at least for guys. I don't know how they run for girls. They can be quite stylish for the price, but the quality of the fabric is comparable / worse than Old Navy for their lower end stuff. This is the only place where…

If you get married for the sole purpose of deriving some sort of benefit rather than for love, then it's a sham marriage. If for some reason they (the government) scrutinize you, you won't come out unscathed.

There are many people with much more money than self control, so this method works for them. They are so weak willed that nothing short of instant punishment would work.

Doctors are not necessarily the most suave people out there, otherwise they would become salesmen. Whether he says "you are obese" or "you are in the obese range" the fact remains that you're obese. Just appreciate him for recognizing the problem and advising you to work on it.

That looks to be about 2400 calories worth of nuts...

As long as you're not loud and it doesn't cause you to hog a machine / station, then I don't care.

If you're a big ipad user the answer is obvious: the iphone. Most ipad apps work on the iphone, and since you can link both devices to your apple account, you don't have to buy those apps again. If you get an Android you'll have to rebuy every apps.

Playboy has articles? :noway:

Maybe you should try to find out why he's weighing himself. Is it because somebody called him fat at the camp? Is there a girl involved? It never hurts to ask, so you can reassure him if he has a concern about something.

I don't discriminate, I eat both.

I've never heard of Apple Fritters before today... *runs off to DD*

If your goal is just to lose weight, then macros aren't important. If your goal is to manage a medical condition (like diabetes or hypertension), then they're important. You also need to pay close attention to them when you're trying to stay as lean as possible while gaining weight, like what bodybuilders do.

When it's written down it's impossible to tell whether the guy said it gruffly like a jerk, or playfully with a twinkle in his eye. The bottom line is that he helped you. Now you need to get rid of the insecurity and just work out.
