Here in Manitoba, Canada there is Klinic, Winnipeg Harvest, and Siloam Mission. The best thing about donating to these three is that you can donate needed items instead of money. The Mission obviously needs volunteers, food, animal food, clothing, bedding, etc. Winnipeg Harvest needs food and volunteers. Klinic likes to…

If you're feeling sick, bloated, or just 'off' you might be drinking too much water. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.

Oops, did my math wrong. But still too much water :tongue:

This, plus, anyone willing to rely on gossip for their info is not worth your time. Consider this a blessing in disguise and start a new network of worthy friends.

Or at least give more info than 'help'.

On second thought, decrease your water. I see you average about 160 ounces a day?!? Unless you live in the Sahara and exercise like a fiend... or have a medical condition... you do not need that much water. Have you heard of water toxicity? Research it and come to your own conclusions. There is no 'dose' of water that can…

I do 30g carbs. 113g carbs is definitely not too low for most bodies, as long as you're fueling with complex carbs and not simple carbs (which I see you do). Do you eat back your exercise/burn calories? If not, that could be one cause. If you do, maybe it's not your diet but something else. Edit: This may sound ludicrous…

7 Days to Die, easy mode :tongue:

I like to weigh in as soon as I get out of bed, after using the toilet and before I put anything into my mouth. Really? Does weight go up?

Thread was TL;DR... sorry if I reiterate everything... 1) increase fat 2) increase electrolytes 3) increase water 4) increase low-carb/high fibre veg like spinach and broccoli 5) add powdered psyllium husk fibre or other fibre containing zero carbs 5) don't worry about counting calories until after you've kicked the hunger…

If it's just the slipping out part you're asking about, duct tape works wonders :tongue: If it's the skin itself, I'm afraid only surgery will fix it. Edited for the smiley since some ppl are way too freaking serious.

My dogs motivate me. They need to be walked, and they should be getting walked twice a day. Being capable of walking them more is a motivator in losing weight; walking them because they've been cooped up means I'm walking instead of sitting on the damn couch. I thought that was the norm on the internets.

This.

I thought a coin toss would be a 50/50 chance, cuz two sides. For a 1-in-4 chance wouldn't you need a four-sided coin?

Fiber can plug you up if you don't have enough fluids with it. Is this what you're talking about?

Actually, sugar does cause some of my GI symptoms and throwing refined sugars out the door has drastically improved said symptoms. But, I think this goes back to the whole FODMAP idea that gluten-sensitive sufferers seem to be ignoring again and again. EDIT: Use Google scholar. Rare to find anything but legit science.

Yoda came to mind :flowerforyou:

I don't believe I did either of those when I asked for science. You wish to insist on the benefits of lemons and I wish to insist on actual science. From this I could choose to say "It's the attitude of hate and tearing down people that reminds me why I stay silent most of the time" with your insistence that I am wrong.…

Then I guess I need to go back to my GI specialist, the dude I actually allowed to test me, the dude that suggested I may have a gluten-sensitivity, and tell that quacker-jack all about how wrong he and his science is in that my proposed gluten-sensitivity has done zero damage to me and he had better shove yet another…

Livestrong is not a scientific article. We crave science. Real science. Please go find science.

Fine, I'll be serious. I recently started drinking a smoothie touted as a weight-loss smoothie. Of course, it includes green tea and lemons. I drink it not for it's amazing weight-loss benefits but because that citrus-y goodness first thing in the morning boosts my mood and the caffeine gives me a kick. Not to mention the…

Can I just hate gluten because *kitten* gluten?

Uhm, gluten sensitivity does not cause intestinal cancer nor damage nor does it appear on any test. Only Celiac does any of those things and Celiac is to gluten sensitivity what a broken leg is to a stubbed toe.

Stahps with your sciences!! It's affecting my lemonade sales :tongue:

I've never understood the whole detox fad... doesn't your liver and kidneys already detox your body? As for helping your liver and kidneys detox your body... water. That's it. Unless some new science has come out. As for "detoxing your liver"... water.
