Anti-Vaxers are idiots, and if they only hurt themselves, that would be fine by me, but people who are genuinely allergic to ingredients, like eggs, depend on the rest of us for herd immunity. I get every vaccine available, including for the flu, and have never had a complication worse than a minor sore spot at the…

Question: Hang on. Why are meat, potatoes and more meat not 'healthy'? Answer: Well, unless it is "organic" virtually all red meat and poultry has drug resistant bacteria in it due to antibiotics in the feed, red meat is directly linked to a lot of cancers, and plain starches consumed regularly or to excess increase your…

Keep in mind that metabolically, you can't gain more than about .5kg of muscle mass per month without steroids, adjust your calories accordingly, and skew the calories towards lean/plant based protein and unsaturated fats. Lift weights under (initially at least) the supervision of a trainer for at least an hour, at least…

I smell something a little off here. Troll sweat, perhaps?

I have a pretty regular routine of diet and exercise, and personally, I weigh myself at the same time every AM right after pee. Over the course of a week I might vary 3-4 pounds from high to low. I am NOT actually gaining or losing that much day-to-day! YMMV I would suggest that if the daily variations we all experience…

If you wanna BE regular, you need to EAT regular. I get 75-100g of fibre from breakfast grains and a plant-based diet. Big, regular, happy, and doing what I can to dodge the colon cancer bullet... Start with 2 tbsp of chia seeds in your breakfast cereal every morning. Lots of fibre and "good" fats, about 100 cal, and won't…

I hired a PT to guide me from the start, given that I never lifted anything heavier than 16 oz until October 2014. I bought a package of sessions, and started with the stated intent to work from 3 sessions/wk to 2/wk and then to once a week as "maintenance". I needed both the guidance of a trainer to do the exercises…

500 g of egg white has 54g protein and 260 calories. I add a cup of organic salsa to that much egg white for a fast cheap lean protein meal. Actually, normally I cut that amount into the entre of two meals...

Peanut butter. The serving size on the jar is one tablespoon, and when I weigh the toast before and after what I used to consider a "serving", I realized that one dip of the knife in the jar can scoop 4-5 "servings"! It's a good thing it keeps forever, because I think it will take a year to finish the jar of Jiff...

For chocolate taste I use Cacao nibs, usually 1/8 cup @ 90 calories. For sweet I go for a berry smoothie, strawberries and either blue/black berries @ about 200 calories. For salty I like the Costco seaweed, I think it's baked. Half a package is 50 calories. That said, I have found that the more often I tell myself I will…

If you are actually weighing and counting the calories of every single thing that passes your lips, staying at/under your calorie goal every single day, and not losing weight, I suggest that your scale may not be correct. Calibrate it by weighing a measured volume of water.
