You're doomed!

Don't work out when you are sick unless you are an elite athlete with a cold, in which case do a very light workout only. FWIW, during the 1918 flu pandemic, the people who went home immediately when they were sick survived, the ones who tried to work through their first day of illness are the ones who died. We're likely…

If you must leave the house when sick (even for minor colds), carry hand sanitizer and use it frequently.

MFP already sets in a calorie deficit that depends on what you set for your weekly loss rate target. So you don't need to add a deficit to what MFP sets for you.

When you eliminate that many things it's hard to tell which, if any, contributed to the improvement. Since this stuff is auto-immune, food eliminations are probably hit and miss--if you're not sensitive to that particular food and so it doesn't activate your immune system in general, it's not going to be activating your…

fwiw Plaquenil is the drug my doc suggested if I get a symptom flare and inflammatory blood markers beyond just the a-CCP. As things are, I suspect I was put into the hematologically-observed remission by a steroid burst I took for asthma last October.

This is true for the immediate future but WHO just announced they expect this virus to become a pandemic shortly. "Pandemic" DOESN'T mean lots of people dying. It means lots of people sick at the same time, to the extent that the economy and trade can be disrupted. Basically, the stores could run low on toilet paper and…

1) Masks will do little to protect you--they won't filter out the virus. What they WILL do is a) keep any droplets you produce from escaping you and landing on surfaces where OTHER people might touch them and become infected, in case you are infected and don't know it. b) They may have a marginal benefit in preventing you…

stuffing my face. came online to log my dinner.

I have been on the Turmeric for about five days now and it does seem to be helping me, though at this point it's hard to tell how much of that is placebo effect because I expected it to help. My doc says she's seen studies comparing its efficacy to diclofenac--a weak pain reliever that has never worked for me but that…

Oh, maaaan....RA must be going around (joking--it's not contagious). I will share what's been going on for me the past 2 weeks that may help you too. I have atypical symptoms that affect my tendons rather than my joints, but just had a positive anti-cyclic-citrullinated-peptide antibody test(a-CCP), which gives me a 90%…

Don't push through the pain. You probably don't yet have the muscle strength built up to protect the joints even if you have the cardiovascular capacity. Try longer rest periods between runs. If you are running every day try running alternating days instead. Running gives your body the signal to build but the building…

Take a pic of what you are seeing and ask your doc or an urgent care doc about it no later than Monday. Though it is probably nothing, it can also happen as a result of some conditions that, if not treated, can become life-threatening. So if you're developing a problem you want to identify it early and get treated so it…

blueberries with grated 92% dark chocolate in a number of grams that fits your budget. grating makes the chocolate fluff up and melt easily so it looks like more than it is and tastes like more than it is too. For ice cream try the New York Times' "only ice cream recipe you'll ever need" and make it at home so you can…

1) slow down 2) breathe every third stoke (so you alternate sides) 3) don't lift your head. do look forward underwater when not breathing. The waterline should be on your forehead above your goggles.

If they are available to you, Trader Joe's (reasonable prices) and Whole Foods (aka "Whole Paycheck") have clearly labeled vegan items.

Trader Joe's has a lot of very clearly labeled gluten free items, including comfort foods like (rice) macaroni and cheese, and snack foods (gluten free cookies). If you have one near you, check it out. The only food items for which there are not gluten-free alternatives are the ones for which gluten is 'mission-critical',…

This may be a sensitive topic but maybe it's the best sales-point ever for getting overweight men to take their health seriously. Glad you got your mojo back. I was gonna come on here and dump some physiology on y'all but others beat me to it.

Girl scout thin mints. Now I get fatter just looking at the box.

Cleaned the bathroom floor behind the toilet--it was definitely not nice back there!

consult your doc, make sure you don't have exocrine pancreatic issues that make digesting fat and protein more difficult for you. treatable condition. People who have it don't make enough enzymes so take pills to make up the deficit.
