Off note, kinda related: I was sitting at dinner during a visit to my grandparents house about 5 years ago and stated that I was full and thus finished. He said to me that I hadn't eaten all the food on my plate and that I should finish and I was cajoled by my family for wasting food. I laughed and looked around the table…

agree to disagree, I guess. I'd be willing to guess that if the average overweight person ate the food pyramid with 2000 calories that they would lose weight. I agree with you as far as processed/refined food wrecking havoc on our health as a country but I simply can NOT academically or logically draw a definitive line…

I simply don't believe that government recommendations impact the public. There has been a "war on obesity" for quite some time and the problem has gotten worse. If everyone ate 2000 calories a day and followed the serving fromthe food pyramid we would be a much healthier country. (I think the pyramid is a load of crap…

Nope nope and nope.

FIRST NOTE: I am not looking for medical advice. Sorry. I thought I was clear about my restrictions but obviously not :-) my bad. I cannot run or jump by doctors orders. I can press and pull but no sudden impact. I am looking for suggestions to boost cardiovascular endurance in prep for a race that I have been "cleared" to…

People eat more and move less because society doesn't demand them to do more. When left to our own devices many will self-destruct. It this point the "epidemic" is so advanced that most people don't even know how to start to change. It is really quite sad.

Americans are fat because we are too PC of a country to tell someone they are fat and need to change. This includes doctors not addressing the problem with parents of obese children. We hand-hold too much. As the average weight increases to do those that are over average. In the past 100 years many have moved from…

Untrustworthy gas

Your pop-tarts thread would have gone a lot different if they were struddles.. . YUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

sick = sad I don't think its an "oh that's gross" thought but a "why would you continue to abuse your body like that?"

Check your calories. (They're too low.) Eat more lean protein. (for me: eating crap = me: craving crap) Preempt hunger. (I eat a crap load of food at lunch. Mostly chicken breast and roasted veggies. I chase it with a Clif bar and 3-4 glasses of water. (about 2 bottle)) drink lots of water. (Sometimes when you feel hungry…

This I like because I can use it as a poster for what NOT to waste your time on in the gym: 1lb weights that ain't gonna do crap. HOT! Look at the difference in their legs...

I accept that.

You're right "interpret" is the wrong word... I meant portray.

Sorry I grabbed it off my history. thanks.

If you have yo-yo'd on again then off again then my suggestion is IIFYM. (If it fits your macros). It basically allows you to eat whatever (no low carb, clean only, etc. restrictions) as long as you stay in your macros. The below thread gives you all you need to know to be successful. It's not a "quick fix." Its just a…

40c/30f/30p is my suggestion

Adding.... to relate your study to my point. Red meat may have a higher incidence of cancer but i doubt the study evaluated the benefits of red meat and compared the overall risk. Cancer is only one health risk among many. Anemia is a health risk prevented by consuming red meat. (Not saying that without you will be anemic…

I didn't at all mean that the controls, variables, or results between your study and the China study were similar. I meant that interpretations of results are simply interpretations. In the China Study, the researchers interpreted the results to mean that casein protein exacerbated cancer. They completely ignored that…

AWOLNATION

no way man.

It's hard to calculate it as an activity. I would calc all activity (disregarding BFing) into TDEE and eat TDEE -20% PLUS the 300 for BFing. For supply reasons I think this is the safest route. So if your TDEE -20% is 1800 (disregarding BFing) then I would set a goal of 2100.
