  • Apparently not good in Toledo and area at the moment. Folks are being warned not to take showers due to toxic bacteria in the water.
  • DDT comes to mind as does a few other toxins. There is a link to the study in this article http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/detox-diets-cleansing-body-feature?page=2
  • Feeling sluggish and tired can be a side effect of parenthood or could be due to numerous other factors. You might consider talking to your doctor prior to making any plans for weight loss especially if you are nursing. Changing your diet from heavily processed foods to whole foods may help you feel more energetic. Some…
  • Yeppers! Yesterday's 1,200 calories post is locked so dibbs on how long it takes for this one to get locked as well.
  • My sentiments exactly :drinker:
  • ^^^^^THIS! It is none of anyone's business what or how much I eat. I don't understand why it is such a huge concern to strangers online what others eat or don't eat.
  • I'm thinking it was a suspected or full blown eating disorder. Being hospitalized for eating 1,200 calories a day just is not the norm. The problem with counting calories is it can trigger eating disorders and if the OP were eating 1,200 calories then exercising heavily without eating back any of the calories burnt, well…
  • Now the truth comes out...
  • <slaps forehead>Must have! Can't argue with book learning :laugh:
  • No, I am two pounds lighter than my original goal so technically at the end of my weight loss journey. My current BMI is 20.8 with a BF% 20.2 so I don't plan on reducing much more than what I have done. Just because someone doesn't have a ticker on their posts does not mean they are at the beginning of their diets. Like me…
  • Wow! Just wow!
  • Hmm, 19 years old and knows it all! Unless your are extremely brilliant, you aren't old enough to have any credentials to make any of your advice credible. I see no scientific studies backing your position. Quite frankly, I wouldn't accept your attitude from my own kids who are considerably older than you. How about you do…
  • Some find 1,200 calories enough others don't. Furthermore, 1,200 calories is the value set by MFP. To each their own and if it is working for them, more power to them. I had no problem with 1,200 calories and I'm sure other smaller women have not problem with it either. I did calculate my BMR and TDEE too.
  • I thought that was the original point. The quality of food in the generic supermarkets in North America is not as high as European countries because there are stricter rules as to what can and cannot be in the food. The European Trade Union won't allow the sale of GMO foods and foods containing certain food additives. Some…
  • Fair enough and cause for concern. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done unless she is actively promoting VLCDs. She obviously knows how to play the game. This type of thing happens even behind the scenes without anyone being any wiser to it. Members can send PM or FR to those asking about unhealthy dieting…
  • No, I don't see where she is being censored. If she wrote a post on that topic and it was removed, then yes but I haven't seen it. It's quite clear that unhealthy weigh loss methods are not to be discussed in the forums. I support that decision each time I decide to use the forums. Posting means accepting the terms of…
  • Is she really promoting VLCDs or is it more perceived that she is promoting them? I'm on the forums a lot. I've seen post from here mainly saying 'check out my profile and if you like what you see, send a FR'. Until today, that is all I saw from her then the "First Amendment" comments of today. So someone has checked out…
  • I have better things to do with my time than check out member's diaries. I also have no interest in doing so. You would have no idea she was eating VLCD without checking either. The fact she has her diary open reinforces that she is either attention seeking or trolling. At any rate, yes 600-800 calories a day would be…
  • You are making a lot of assumptions. No one knows whether or not they are dealing with a rational person in an online forum. You can hope but can never be sure. I did not say anything about palatable foods so don't put words into my mouth. I said, if that is what she wants to eat, it is none of your concern. The forums…
  • No, I am not telling you that. What I am telling you is you shouldn't care what she chooses to eat. Honestly, I haven't checked her diary and have no desire to do so. Some trolls are very good at what they do including fabricating facts like diary entries. I'm not saying she is but I am saying that could be a possibility.…
  • But it is stressed on the forums to eat what you want in moderation. She wants to eat Pringles and bean dip so is basically doing what the forums tells her to. I don't know whether she eats VLCD or not and don't care. Neither should you.
  • No, I think it is more of a responsibility and liability issue for MFP forums. It is irresponsible to knowingly encourage an activity that causes harm which brings in liability in the event harm is caused. I have found several sources that do discuss the topic you are interested in BUT they tend to get removed for the same…
  • I've been doing a lot of reading on eating disorders. I don't think VLCD fail but rather are very effective for the primary goal of losing weight to the point of death for some which is why they are discouraged here. Yo-yo dieting that include VLCD followed by normal or binging, aren't effective for long term weight loss…
  • Have you tried http://www.vaportini.com/
  • Ethanol is a rather effective antimicrobial commonly used to swab down lab benches. I use it in a spray bottle to clean all touchable surfaces during cold and flu season as well as regular cleaning. It is also hepatoxic and neurotoxic. So I would say it is definitely a poison. There is a very thin line between the drinking…
  • I'm not going to make a judgement call on your actual drinking because it really isn't any of my business. The problem with alcohol is it is for the most part it is empty calories although beer has been shown to aid in muscle recovery after running and there are associated health benefits to drinking wine. Years ago, port…
  • Alcohol is a dieuretic aka causes you to lose water. A hang-over is partly caused by dehydration from the alcohol. Drink extra water when consuming alcohol to counteract the dehydration.
