There are 186 calories in one pound of raw carrots. Let us say that we tweak that down to 150 to account for digestive inefficiency. I assert that will make no change whatsoever on the American diet. People will not forgo 186 calories of cookies in favor of a full pound of carrots. People who count their calories do not…

Yes - and further the article's author advocates adjusting food label calorie values to account for the disparity. Because the problem with obesity is that we think raw spinach is just too high-cal to justify? Stupidest assertion ever.

I skimmed the article and is treading pretty well worn ground. But I love the idea of a pole-dancing british scientist.

HOW IS THIS POST STILL EVEN UP? Are there no moderators on this site!!!!!!

Vegan with ghee. Is this a joke? Why would you try to get vegans to eat animal products? That's really messed up. Back in the day you could trust this website and people were here to help each other.

I'm not sure I understand but it seems like walking while watching a DVD might be a dangerous and cumbersome endeavor. With love, Burt

I'm just glad bullies are finally catching a break. For far too long, simple taunting, casual beatings, and minor theft have been treated like serious crimes. Holden Caufield, Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, Tom Swift, Johnny Quest . . . all children punish others for fun. It's normal and right. Cheers to your school for finally…

You seek a simple answer to a complex question:

Hey! That's WD-40!!

Mom, is that you?

Banal.

Pretentious.

You know what else is repetitive and mundane and boring? Dental hygiene. With love, Burt

Censorship of ideas is pretty distinctly called out here, rather than censorship in general. Pornography is not an idea. I mean, it might give you ideas, but the author clearly drew a distinction. Additionally, censorship of ideas seems to exclude censorship of word choice - - it's fair to say, for instance, "I disagree…

Neat! Welcome.

Same basic mechanism, called the Valsalva maneuver.

Yep - - it's actually like pooping. But don't actually poop. Upon this, is frowned. With love, Burt

Congratulations on beating the odds! Wait. Wait. Congratulations on statistical probability!

Sleep with her boyfriend. Or me, she would hate that. Sleep with me.

The hate is directed at the fitness industry. "Tone", as they use it, is a mythical state that gives one the appearance of long, lean limbs. Muscle tone itself is a very small part of a much larger aesthetic equation, relatively insignificant when compared to body composition. Typically, if a person looks flabby, it is…

You're doing great. :flowerforyou:

It honestly depends. If the question is "I'm going to be starting the master cleanse and want advice on how to adhere to it", the original poster will get a lot of feedback and most of it negative. Because while the question "how do I adhere to the master cleanse" might be asked in good faith, it carries with it the…

If you think the forums are frustrating on day three, stick around awhile.

What are "real life" friends good for? What are they worth? Can you expect the same behavior from each one? Do you treat all of your friends the same? Do you get the same results in all your friendships regardless of how you treat each friend? Best of luck in your efforts to tease out the mysteries of human interaction.…

These threads always make me so sad. OP you have nothing to lose by checking out a few different OA meetings. If it's truly problem which you cannot control, seeking help from others with first-hand experience can be helpful. If after visiting a representative sample of different groups, you decide it doesn't appeal to…

To be fair, you came on to a calorie counting website, you said that calorie counting doesn't work, and that you don't do it, and then asked for input. You might have anticipated how people would react. Nonetheless, take what you like, ignore the rest, and press on.

HOLY CRAP. That was an amazing piece of writing, research, and analysis right there. thank you.

Have you considered ritual sacrifice? With love, Burt

lol I wonder what the results would have been like if they were required to eat sawdust for breakfast and lunch. Probably even more impressive weight loss. sigh. No control group drinking the shakes of competition. No nothing.
