The real key to this is sincerity, mean it when you say it. ;)

Well if they are overweight, you can always redirect their concern. "Hey I am glad you feel comfortable talking to me about my weight and health, I've been wanting to bring this up for a while now but I didn't want to come off as rude, but I am concerned about your being overweight and wanted to let you know I am here to…

I have noticed if you post a before fat picture then you can post any physique picture you want and people will only praise your success. It's when you just post physique pictures that people start criticizing. Isn't that weird/interesting. So my answer is post a before picture with every physique pic and you will only…

Neck issues can sometimes cause numbness and tingling down the upper limbs. If you can't get to the bottom of it and it doesn't seem to be the other things listed you might have your neck checked out.

Might be worth it to get checked out by a physical therapist first.

I save all of my calories for after 6pm

I find asking questions is a good way to divert and put attention back where it belongs. Maybe something like Q:"Why do you think it's your place to talk to me about this, when my doctor is happy with where I am?" A: We love you and just want you to be healthy, you look too skinny. Your response: My doctor is very happy…

I'm not saying be mean, I am saying don't be nice ;) That just means that you are indifferent to their attitudes. Honestly kids are "brain damaged" they are not fully developed people with fully developed brains, therefore you should not put a lot of stock in their attitudes and behaviors or opinions.

I wouldn't worry about being nice and liked, I would be fair and for gods sake don't be a doormat. They don't have to like you but they do have to show up and learn or fail. I would let them know that. The minute you stop caring about what children think of you is the minute they'll stop having power over you and might…

Well if that's the case then crack will get them skinny real fast ;)

I'm not a fan of toneless bodies, I had a skinny fat roommate, he was thin but looked surprisingly flabby, takes a lot of work to get wolfman though, you prob would never get to that, especially if you weren't trying really hard.

Both depending on what you are doing. I would definitely get with a professional, not a fitness coach or trainer but a spine PT specialist, at least at first to learn what you are doing from someone that is a specialist! Don't play with your back or bones, that's a long road to comeback from if you injure yourself. I bet…

Make sure you are getting plenty of protein, vitamins and minerals needed for hair growth, I started taking the Viviscal supplement, I kid you not, for me it has worked beautifully, seriously did not expect it to work, but 6 months later I see a difference, it takes time, a lot of time, but for me it was worth it, and I…

run girl, run fast run far :p ;) It's friday afternoon though, you might be ok.

It was the Chiropractic care post that got me thinking about it. Then dry needling and acupuncture came into it and that really had me thinking, those are already difficult subjects to get a accurate study on since there are so many factors involved and so many people that have a stake in the outcome of the studies. Thanks…

Thanks anyway

Wow Thank you for taking the time to write that!

So are there any flaws to peer reviews? Are they always completely accurate and truthful? This is where I have trouble.

Very good point, I don't think it's always considered or treated as a "starting point" or the "bare minimum" on MFP though, you always see people demanding peer reviewed studies like that's the end of it. At least that's been what I have seen in some cases. Which made me wonder, how truthful and accurate can these studies…

I'm kinda surprised here. I thought with all the science minded people in here always wanting studies and peer reviewed ones especially, that this would be a really good topic?

You know what's funny, I just read they found the oldest known medical book and sadly my very first sarcastic thought was I bet it talks about ACV in there.

Depends on the supplement. What kind of supplements are you referring to? The only supplementing I do is what vitamins and minerals I don't get through my diet.

Time for an MRI just to make sure nothing soft tissue is going on. Degenerative changes can be normal with aging, disc space loss is definitely normal with age but usually starts in the low part of the lumbar. Did you ever have an injury to your spine, maybe when you were young? I remember you mentioned having scoliosis,…

I got this off of the job outlook handbook bureau of labor statistics, it's the educational requirements for chiropractors, I have no dog in this fight but thought it might be a good link to share. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/chiropractors.htm#tab-4 and that got me curious so I found this Curriculum overview.…

Thats tough! Here is a recipe for you ;) I always thought this was funny https://i.imgur.com/TRW2QRl.mp4

I'm sorry if I misunderstood, I was referring to when you said which tastes better and has a better texture, which I say both ways is fine depending on your preference, I don't like crispy skin on a baked potato and feel sometimes they are too dry. But you are correct it isn't baking but I don't think she wasn't splitting…

You can only lead by example my friend.

If someone wants to disguise an eating disorder they will find a way to do it, if not IF then something else.

Hey there, so a lot of insurance won't cover an mri unless you have an xray first. Since xrays are less expensive if they can figure out what is going on with xrays first then it saves money and time. Xrays for scoliosis are important and should be done so they can measure the degree of your curve and keep up with it over…
