Depends on the nutrients you’re targeting, I think. I don’t do slim fast, but I do love my protein shakes I make to help hit my protein macro. I enjoying mixing the powders (chocolate and banana or chocolate and peanut butter are my favs) with ice and milk. It’s a nice sweet treat for me. Usually as a snack a couple hours…

Yeah—not sure how you can “disagree with someone providing details about the vaccine rollout in their area. Those posts are pretty matter of fact, and rather indisputable when links to news articles are provided.

It’s the minimum—Modern is four weeks (previously stated by someone) however the shots won’t be less effective (based on what we know now) if the second is administered father apart.

Saw this today. The Pandemic Has Sparked a Mass Mental Health Crisis Among College Students and Young Adults https://www.nbclosangeles.com/lx/the-pandemic-has-sparked-a-mass-mental-health-crisis-among-college-students-and-young-adults/2562973/ Speaking for my students, it’s less the isolation than the impact of the…

Wishing her a full and speedy recovery! 💖I have definitely seen cases where precautions were taken and community spread still happened. And that was before the more transmissible strains were identified.

It doesn’t, though. Their website says people without vaccination cards (for whatever reason) can come in on Mondays. And they do not encourage them to be eaten everyday, they just want to offer them every day (also on the website). I think it’s a nice idea to help promote the vaccines. Sure, it promotes the product as…

Here’s some good news: Pfizer and Moderna vaccines 90% effective in real world study, CDC says. https://apple.news/Asvq4UDU8QY6y-326tcrEpw

In the US, I read we’re seeing an increase in cases in children in schools. The 16-and-under group that can’t be vaccinated yet. Just as LAUSD announced they’re going back into the classroom. Hope for the best is all I can do through my worry.

I think the other factor (for my place of work, at least) is workplace safety when WFH. I work at a state institution with massive safeguards in place to prevent worker’s comp injuries. Everyone who works in an office has an ergonomic evaluation (and goes through annual training) and the department pays for the recommended…

I’m so sorry you were treated with suspicion. It bothers me that we set rules and establish policies for the lowest common denominator of human behavior. Even if we haven’t seen it. There’s no excuse for creating more and more rules to respond to performance management issues. You respond to the people with the problem,…

Actually, it does. There is no statistically accurate summation you can make in research that correlation might imply causation. You can state there might be a relationship, but not correlation. Correlation, like causation, has a specific statistical definition resulting from specific methodologies (ANOVA, ANCOVA, MANOVA).…

I wondered that, too. I think the issue is the intensity, and maintaining it for 152 minutes directly. I don’t have a deep understanding of training for elite athletes, but I did work with student athletes at a D1 school. I rarely saw them perform nonstop at a high intensity for more than few minutes at a time. There were…

Exactly my thought; better a sore arm than getting COVID.

Stop judging yourself so harshly! It’s not bad if the scale doesn’t go down each week, food isn’t bad (it has no morality—some foods are healthier than others), and you’re not bad for going a little off the wagon fir a little while (or a long while). No one does it 100% right 100% of the time. Just steer yourself back on…

Hope you’re feeling better for good! I love pushing it hard during the intervals, but they wipe me out.

We are to maintain minimal campus operations through June 30. For a large college campus, where I work, we are trying to figure things out. Equity regarding time on campus and remote work is important and they will set guidelines for us as a whole so schedules are set based on job functions and business needs, or who is…

Honestly, the language you’re using is the exact same phrasing as the add for a fasting app that plays during my game so I get extra lives. There is not credible research citing the benefits you have listed for extended fasting. Please take care of yourself.

Most shark attacks occur in 3 feet of water (or less).

How much the restrictions are violated can also depend on the infrastructure in which people are living, I think. For all on-campus housing we have reduced density (everyone is in singles), maximum bathroom ratios (no more than 6 people per bathroom), hand sanitizer and disinfectant/paper towels in all common spaces, and…

Just had to post this to add to the tablespoon/nut butter conversation. 😂

And the stupidity isn’t limited to those crazy spring breakers. Here in Southern California we’ve got a few pockets of anti-science/COVID is a hoax people. Someone who said ventilators kill people and is anti-all COVID restrictions/anti-vax was elected to the Huntington Beach city council! (MMA fighter, Tito-something,…

But I’ll bet it wouldn’t taste that good. 😉

I have a tried many, many different ones to find something I felt comfortable in. TBH, I sometimes forget I’m wearing it driving by myself when I’m in a car (yes, I’m that dork) or when I’m in my office at work with the door shut). I’ve gotten used to it. When we had to start wearing them, I never thought I would.

It sucks, I agree. But getting frustrated and fatigued and bored isn’t the answer. We’re not the ones in control here, the virus is, because of our inconsistency on moderating our behaviors. We go into lockdown, things get better. We chomp at the bit to get out, we do, things get worse again. I’m afraid we will find…

And 25% of the US’s cases of the UK variant are in Florida. 😞 The vaccinations likely won’t prevent a surge, but the hopefully will prevent deaths and hospitals being overrun (like the were in January).

Yes! It’s important not to rely too much on exercise to create your deficit as it’s easy to shift into the “exercise is punishment for eating” zone.

Many places have lessened or dropped the mitigation strategies. Even if they haven’t in your area, hearing those messages in the news will have an effect on people’s behavior, even if it’s not conscious. Not to mention the people partying like COVID never happened on spring break. 😞 I’m not comfortable going back to the…

Until spring break ends and they all head home on planes ... https://apple.news/ADq4se6vXSEm8nIjl8zQ6zQ Things are not looking good in parts of Florida and South Texas with spring break revelers. 😞

YES! Our daily death rate in the US has dropped about 75% from the peak in January. To around 1000 people a day. It boggles my mind how people think it’s OK to throw caution to the wind and end the virus transmission mitigation strategies with the variants and only about 15% of the adult population vaccinated. It’s 1000…

You hit the nail on the head. I work with college students and out of the many who have tested positive, I’ve had three who’ve had symptoms. When I call them to tell them they’re positive and going into isolation, the first thing they say is “I feel fine.” And I tell them I hope it stays that way—that it remains an…
