At first I didn't like baby carrots. Then I tried Bolthouse Farms Sweet Petites. Sweet petiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeets. (Thats how I say it now, because I have given them a pet name. I have given the food a pet name.)

Ahh, I should have said this is a no win situation for most guys. But then again, guys are the superficial ones who primarily care about looks, right? I kid, I kid... ...sort of.

Anything you say or do around a woman who isn't interested in you is considered creepy. Anything you say or do around a woman who is interested in you is considered attractive. This is a no-win situation for you. Just be friendly, talk to staff, talk with friends. Make yourself appear approachable and fun. If she is…

I eat (ate) fast food because of a food addiction. I didn't have to get out of my car, could eat and have everything consumed before I got home. It was cheap enough not to think about it. There was no obstacle to eating it other than will power, of which I had none. There are some things I don't like now, most of the…

I found that Aspartame has been screwing with my metabolism, I think. I hate to be an armchair scientist, but what I feel like is happening is that my body is reacting to food intake- but there are no real calories. It ends up making me lethargic because I am tired. It slows down weight loss because my body doesn't seem to…

The Internet: Wasting time on Idiots

Weight loss is calories in, calories out- end of story. That said... Fiber: Junk food doesn't have any of it, and without it you will feel hungry all the time. "Whole" foods are full of fiber, and you will feel fuller, faster, and with less calories. Hidden Calories: With junk food, did you record the ketchup? From a…

How many calories in a gun?

Hey guys! Its a political topic during an election season!

I wish I could take full credit. It is Tyrol from Battlestar Galactica. I had to screen cap the face because, well... you see why.

Geez. Pretty brazen of them to trash talk a woman who holds their academic prospects in her hands. As a professor you wouldn't drive by their dorms with a megaphone shouting- "Haha, Keep Studying Dumbasses!" or "What is that a book? Don't kid yourself".

Ha, maybe. I haven't gone full cue-ball yet. I still need to deplete the stored fuel cells around the midsection before I pursue alternative energy sources.

Rhode Island. Not horrible- just ignorant. But hey, my friends are from here too. Like most places, I guess it just depends who you run into.

I would hope so. I would hate to think I put someone out of a job. Often, I would wonder if the managers of the fast food restaurants in the area had meetings to discuss the "micahnelson situation".

Thanks everybody, I'm glad you liked the story. I remember the second night I was out I was still just walking- I bought myself a green tea as a reward for the walk back. I knew the barista and was talking about how I was trying to get healthier. I guess someone in the coffee shop overheard. As I left, a (well intentioned)…

As a single fantastic b*tch

Real simple... You went -5.5 to +1. That is a shift of 6.5 lbs. To gain 6.5 lbs in two days you would have had to have consumed 22,750 calories ( 6.5 X 3500) above your BMR. Do you think you consumed 22,750 calories over your BMR? That is 5 Large Deep Dish Uno Classic Pizzas. In terms of 2 Liter bottles of Coke, that is…

Her music is like scotch.

This map shows the pervasiveness of methamphetamine use. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meth/map/ This map shows the pervasiveness of church attendance. http://religions.pewforum.org/maps The data doesn't seem to support the premise that being drug to church keeps you off of methamphetamines. I'm sure this will…

You know that feeling after eating too much food that you love? Well thats the feeling of gaining weight. You are now feeling the opposite of that. Hang in there, chew gum so you are less likely to snack, if you break down make sure you have a really big glass of water first and wait 15 minutes.

I'm glad they have Red Herrings like this to chase so that they don't go after anything important. If they succeed in stopping this ice cream, all we have lost is ice cream. At least they aren't protesting anything that threatens our civil rights in a real or serious way.

I think your first step is overgeneralizing. Stop seeing men and women, just see individuals. Obviously, gender can factor into how a person acts- but it isn't always the predominant trait. Upbringing, emotional baggage, personality - the list goes on into perpetuity. Don't try to understand ALL men, just try to understand…

As a former 310 Lb guy myself, I started my diet at 1600 calories and stuck at that number. After a week of headaches or so, I got used to it. Your stomach has to shrink a little bit- I don't know if that is literally true, but it is a good working metaphor. When you eat really isn't that important, and you don't want to…

If you have the willpower to eat 500 Calories a day, which you may have, you would also have the willpower to eat 1200-1500 calories a day. Eating less than 1200 calories a day for any extended period of time is not weight loss, its physical abuse. Eat 1200-1500 and exercise if you want to see more dramatic results. Just…

I only speak to people who have cleared a Criminal Background Check, scored 600+ on a Credit Check, and passed a Drug Test.

Fair enough. I probably shouldn't stress over comments anyway- I hear stress raises cortisone levels and impacts metabolism. :)

I'm not presuming anything. This statement, to me, seemed to be a bit of a sexist generalization: Myself and my male friends are not like this. I'm sorry if your experience with men has been different.

No, you came here to have a sexist rant and not be called on it.

First Off, Not all guys can preach about surgery- most who perform it are men. Second, Not all guys drool over FHM. Third, Maybe its the conflict over what you know is right, and what appeals to your senses. (You say "mmm", but then, "no" to chocolate cake at times I am sure.) Fourth, not all guys are as able to identify…

Probably eat more, exercise more. If you are very calorie restricted, and you are working out, your body DEFINITELY does not want to give up its emergency rations of fat. Your body has to be confident that the food supply is strong, and that you need more muscle.
