You're reading a LOT into a humorous little anecdote about cancer knocking at your door.

I agree. I suggest doing both. Eat well and get fit. Sounds like a plan. So why is it BS to suggest that eating well can help you avoid getting cancer?

If the banging from footfalls hurts, you might try an elliptical if that's an option for you. Sorry, that stinks. Hope you heal up quickly!

I don't think anyone said it worked any other way. That IS the benefit of eating more, smaller meals.

But evidence shows that some almost certainly is.

Wait! Post the chemical composition of an apple! That gets them every time!

Mmmmmm, depends on what you mean by "powder". According to Webster, "Powder" can mean "To hit very hard". http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/powder I don't think being hit very hard by protein will help me lose weight. Semantics are very important! Hairs must be split.

Ah. I see. Yeah, I prefer to run outside, but sure do like having the treadmill for training in the winter. And knocking down 800 or 1,000 calories on a long run sure is nice on the weekend!

You should have eaten clean.

Yup. My trainer suggested it and I gave it a try. I like it. I don't get hungry and if I get tempted by something, I always know I don't have long to wait before I eat something again. Seems to help me.

Yeah! We made it to the "definition" phase! Now the knowledge will REALLY flow!

What do you mean by that? Just curious. I burn a ton of calories running. Not disagreeing with you, just don't know what you're talking about an genuinely curious.

I'm a runner, and going to start lifting soon. Anyone is free to add me.

And way easier to read than simply pointing out that they were there...

This was helpful.

I love this thread! People getting motivated and an OP giving tons of people inspiration and encouragement! Way to go, man!

Good enough reason for me. And quite possibly the most reasonable post I've ever seen you contribute to this form. Thank you.

Might use it to find a forum where you could ask a question.

:smile:

That's a good point. However, mocking someone's ideologies (as opposed to logically explaining another point of view) is a personal attack, which is not only against forum rules, it's just being a jerk.

Well said. Take away for the day - if you want to "eat clean", knock yourself out. There's no reason not to give it a shot.

Okay. Relate that back to the topic a hand (which I assume we're still talking about?) What is the observed health issue that you are concerned someone will experience if they chose to "eat clean".

So, scientific studies established that "not smoking" is good for you. Thank you. Troll slain.

Which point are you trying to make? He said not all gas is equal. You said not all gas is equal. Um. Okay. That point seems to have some consensus. Fuel for your car behaves differently depending on what car it goes in. I put premium on the Kompressor and the Twin Turbo because the slower burn prevents detonation. In my…

Can you show me the science that links non-smoking to higher risk of heart disease? That's a big "what if". What if I was outside on a smoke break when the building burned down. Better keep smoking, just to be on the safe side.

Can we agree that avoiding lung cancer is "good for you"?

?? So we're just guessing? Aren't there scientific studies that establish a link between obesity and diabetes (among many other things)? Don't we know that obesity can be prevented or reversed by burning more calories than you eat? Don't scientific studies link smoking to lung cancer? Can we agree that avoiding lung cancer…

I never figured any "God" would be either. "Hummmm I don't think much of your life, but you went to Church. Me damn it! You got me on a technicality. Welcome to paradise."

Exactly. All things in moderation. Seems like that should be conventional wisdom. Oh wait...

Plenty of people who say those words over and over and over and.... yeah. It's very interesting to look at their diaries. Most of the "Eat whatever you want" people have loads of broccoli and apples in there and only eat "bad" food in moderation. Weird. But they probably do that because, regardless of what they say on the…
