In re: the "get active" bit, recent research has conclusively shown that regular, cardio-positive exercise will cause cells to create new receptors for insulin. For type 2 diabetics (insulin resistant), that is AWESOME news. If you're pre-diabetic, I'm guessing on you're on track for type 2 diabetes. I beat type 2 diabetes…

Is that a hint of sarcasm I detect on the edges of your manner of speech? :wink:

Personally, I do much better avoiding the TV. Geez, the food ads...

First, the article's author is hardly a disinterested researcher. He is selling stuff (books, etc.) Second, I'm reading a book called *Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain*, and cardio,especially HIIT, causes your cells to create more receptors for insulin. For type 2 diabetics, that is awesome…

I wasn't going to buy a ticket and attend the circus, but this... most hilarious, and yet true, statement I've read in ages.

Hero!

How about "Bro, do you even pee?". All while we're on the subject:

We should start tagging these creatures so that we can study them in their natural habitats.

You are surely referring to "actual" age, not "effective" age. Sarcasm... I love it.

I'm the opposite... not hot in any way, but produced six awesome looking kids. Probably mostly due to my wife, who is ultra hot. BTW, FILF... I meant "Fathers in Love with Fitness". J/K.... Really meant "Fathers in Love with Fritos".

As long as the makeup doesn't taste bad...

@chazzatim1 was last when I posted.

Sidewise

Is he serious?

No, I like mine the way they are.

Another dimension might just about do it for me.

When there is no voice or face involved, it can be easy to misconstrue what and/or how someone writes something, but, yeah, the above statement is all too often true, especially on message boards. Some people will be jerks in person regardless of the consequences (if any), but some people are jerks in cyberspace only…

Lots of things, including some medicines, cause you to release insulin, which is a peptide hormone. Some things, like highly refined carbs (carbs that are broken down easily by the digestive tract), cause higher levels of blood glucose which causes more insulin to be released; some things, like protein and fat, cause less…

The answer is... muscles. The more muscles you have, the more calories you burn. The only way to add muscle is to lift weights. When you lift weights, you have to provide enough food fuel, i.e. protein, for your body to create new muscle cells. Lifting, done right, will cause you to gain weight because muscle cells are…

Perfectly stated!

I say all this in a gentle voice, without judgment. I have been where you are, time-and-time again. You WERE doing really well. Your statement about sabotaging yourself should have been your second sentence. You listed all the good things had from losing weight. You lost them, but you CAN get them back. You control how you…

You're welcome! I love winning...

People say things on the Internet, and especially on bulletin boards, that, if they said them in person, would most likely end up getting them murdered or, at the very least, getting the good news by way of a beating. It's the perils of bodiless communications, where there is little, if any, accountability.

One Second After by William R. Forstchen... audiobook.

Not sure about the latter behavior, but the former is aggressive. Like someone else here said, I'd ask him why he does this, and unless he has an excellent reason for doing it, it needs to stop and he needs to come to understand how it makes you feel.

This is why I joined a Planet Fitness. Way less creepy stuff going on in them.
