  • Pork rinds!
  • The bibimbap I made last night came in around 1000 calories, so...
  • Oh man I tried cherry vanilla Coke Zero in Vegas and it was amazing. I wish we had cherry Coke Zero and vanilla Coke Zero in Canada.
  • The recipe builder is your friend! When I make cookies I scoop the entire batch onto trays, freeze them, and then throw the frozen batter balls into Ziploc bags. It's much easier to count out servings, plus it's easier to stick to the planned portion size since they need to be baked before chowing down. Not to mention…
  • See also: weighted.
  • Incorrect. I eat dessert almost every day, I love chips and fast food, eat bread, and am not above eating processed food. Somehow I managed to magically lose over 50 lbs. Take your woo elsewhere.
  • Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the avocado, and grab a spoon. Or smear it on some toast. It's also really good in sushi or on tacos or nachos. Ooh, or on a BLT. ...I want avocado.
  • THEY'VE GOT THE MUNCHIES!!! (It took me until someone mentioning cannibalizing a person who ate a pot brownie to make the Green Inferno connection. But I'm also kind of a dunce.)
  • Some pharmacists are apparently unaware of continual use and will deny you further pills if you use them too fast. My friend had this problem with her pharmacy (in Canada). She was told she was going through the pills too fast, and that they didn't have any of the 28-day packs available. She said that she was okay to take…
  • Okay, so I've pretty much got the right idea of what to do then? Huzzah! I might try to add some of the glute workouts from Strong Curves to the dumbbell program I'm currently doing because of...y'know. No implants, but there has been some joking about me needing a prosthetic butt for my DGS (Dimished Gluteal Syndrome).
  • Hi, everybody! (Hi, Dr. Nick) I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Right now my weight is 147 lbs at 5'6. My initial goal weight was 140, but due to my still flabby stomach and thighs, I'm considering dropping the weight down to 135. However, doing a recomp sounds much more attractive rather…
  • Thank you. You summed it all up very nicely. It would be nice if everyone dressed for their body type. It would be nice if I had a unicorn. Both those things probably won't happen, and somehow we'll live. Maybe if the other poster has a condition where her retinas spontaneously combusted at the sight of cellulite or a…
  • My love of metal is the reason why I started using the spin bike by myself instead of in a class - I can't get worked up to dance/pop music. Slayer, Iron Maiden, Nightwish, Rob Zombie, or Halford are so much more effective for working out. Or, y'know, any other time. Hell, I'm wearing a Ghost shirt as I'm typing this.…
  • Oh no, they still follow him. I was looking at his Facebook page, and according to his fans, Monsanto and Big Pharma are to blame for him being in trouble. 'Cause, y'know, they made him make all these claims that aren't backed up by science.
  • ...except that Dr. Davis himself has said that GMO wheat doesn't exist. Blaming GMO wheat for all these health problems is like blaming vampires for anemia. Vampires don't exist, and neither does GMO wheat.
  • I dunno, if I had to live off of the tiny amount of food that people with gastric bypass are supposed to eat, I'd be pretty miserable too. However, I've found that exercising more has definitely helped with my depression, and hopefully it will keep it away.
  • Out of curiosity, what is the point of wearing a HRM if it's off by that much? I'm also confused because another poster in this thread is saying that the treadmill reading is more accurate than the HRM reading even though it's way more. Edit: Okay, went and did some reading, and the purpose of the HRM is exactly that - to…
  • Not very accurate. For example, today my treadmill said that I burned around 850 calories, but according to my heart rate monitor, it was really 675 calories. Big difference.
  • It took a lot of effort to not laugh at this (I'm in public and don't want to be the weird lady giggling at her phone).
  • That's right. It's .gif time.
  • I was going to offer you a tinfoil hat after your 'Big Sugar' rant (never mind that Big Placebo and the health food industry rake in the cash too, and they're not pushing 'addictive' substances) but then you decided to start calling people names for giving sound advice (going to the doctor, moderation) rather than just…
  • This gave me the biggest, stupidest smile. I like you. *puts on tinfoil hat to protect herself from Big Margarine*
