  • With any medical condition, and any exclusionary diet, please consult your physician to make sure its ok. Never heard of the book, but just be careful is all!

  • Be careful with Dr Oz.... Very few medical professionals respect him. He tries to take medicine, and dumb it down to the simplist form; and make broad general statements. Hes not as bad as someone like Mary Toco.... who I believe just simply wants to hurt people, but still. Protein is typically based off what you want to…
  • Best of luck. Really its important to either just portion control, or just try to eat one your own when you can. My family eats fairly healthy, but my GF family, not always. They arent pressuring or anything, but sometimes having the stuff in the house can be dangereous
  • Very interesting; amazing results. This obviously wouldnt work on third degree+, and I'd be interested in learning exactly what type of cells they are able to use exactly, because I imagine doing something like s. cornium would be much more difficult. Still, its always great to see new technology
  • As said above, strong lifts is a pretty good program; you eventually will get burned out due to the volume, and may want to switch to a slightly lower volume program. The most important thing I'd say is find someone who knows what they are doing. You need your own "bro-fessor", to make sure your arching your back when you…
  • I use steam, so pretty much ive been digital only for a long time. Last solid disc i bought was probably WoW. Actually I bought L4D, but I only used the CD key, had steam install the rest
  • Good for you! Id try to do the same, but with having leg day 3x a week, and having gout, if Im going to the 8th floor in my parking structure in my suit, Ill take the elevator

  • Absolutely, milk is only a short term benefactor, I would never say to use in the stead of something else like an acid reducer. Im referring to skim/fat free milk (sorry, all I ever drank growing up), mainly because its alkaline properties can help reduce some of the acidity of the Hydrocholoric acid (slightly). What I…
  • One other thing I forgot to say, kinda to contradict/correct an earlier poster. Things like milk ARE good, as they provide a good buffer against HCl in the stomach
  • Acid reflux is caused by a lot of things, diet is an absolute major one. Here is some information that might be helpful (Im in pharmacy school, this is literally something we are talking about right now) Gerd is caused by problems associated with the esophogeal sphincter. This is what separates your stomach from your…
  • Im stopping this now, so that we dont need to send out any warnings or blocks. I highly recommend you guys join a group such as http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/6193-chit-chat-fun-games-for-the-banned or create your own. Groups are given much more leniency when it comes to more tongue in cheek or off color humor…
  • I'm locking this thread. This joke/comment/irritation has been posted several 1000s of times on the forums. You are not the first person to be irritated, nor will you be the last. People make mistakes. Some people are typing on phones or tablets that misread input. Some people do not speak English as well as others do.…
    in Loose weight Comment by _Ben March 2013
  • Hey guys, On the whole, this debate has been quiet lively, and for a thread of ~2,000 posts, relatively tolerant and understanding, just a slight debate. I worry leaving it open any longer could lead it to stray into debates more about opinions about why or why not one ideology or religion or belief or philospophy is…
  • On accident ive hit it before without posting anything and thought, huh, if i dont eat for 4 weeks, i could weight that amount...
  • Extremely dangerous to buy offline, and just so you know, if you get caught, or the postman decides to check your mail before sending it to you, that is a misdemanor, ~1 year in jail, and a $2000 fine; depending on what state your in
  • This is a bit of a reaching statement. While both are psychostimulants, your understanding between these 3 medications is a bit flawed. Phentermine primarily works to activate the fight or flight response. Amphetamine is a drug that has similar effects, but also a great deal more. Amphetamine is what is known as a chiral…
  • Try to find a more well balanced routine. She may be overworking the same muscle groups by doing the same machines over and over. Maybe 2 days a week do 1 set of machines, then 2 days do another set. In the end though, thats part of working out. You cant have calorie loss without making your muscles do a bit of work. If…
  • I would not trust this. First off, it has no FDA or FTC approval in the united states. That means a few things. It has not been tested as safe or effective; so it could be potentially very dangerous. It also could have been procuded in very unclean or inadequate conditions. More worrysome to me is there is no list of…
  • Pharm student here. What are your concerns with Furosemide? Im assuming you are on them for some form of cardiovascular problem, which can lead to so many secondary problems if left untreated. If you want to message me or just reply to this, Id really like to know why you feel you dont want to take it anymore, as this is a…
  • The most important thing is honestly to discuss it with her doctor and keep up with all her screening/blood sugar testing. With type 2 diabetes, a change in diet and exercise are very important, but she just wants to make sure to keep up with any prescriptions, such as glucophage and/or insulin, as well as all her testing.…
  • Pharm Student here Zoloft (sertaline) hasnt really been shown to cause any real problems with weight gain, and it should not have any affect on your metabolism

  • I guess if you wanna get technical, I am a Pharm student, not quiet yet a pharmacist. Graduating in 2016, looking forawrd to the career
  • For me, these arent my favorite necessarily, but they had the greatest influence on me. 1. Goldeneye - revolutionized multiplayer FPS 2. Halo - Ushered in xbox, microsoft, and an advanced online fps system of small skirmishes to massive battles 3. Pokemon - timeless portable game, regardless which version you play, its a…
  • Based off my profile, yes I do. I have a 600 katana. Great bike. I wouldnt neccesarilly agree with jenj, depending on what type of bike, whether cruiser, sport, touring, super sport, or some combo. 600 on a sport touring is great for me, but I probably could handle a bigger bike now that Ive been riding for a few years,…
  • Saw this this morning on Reddit. While I didnt know who he was prior to this, I think the majority of the techie/geek world will be forever in his debt due to his contribution to RSS and Reddit
