Simple question. Beatles came out in the early 60's and faded in the early 70's. That was about 50 years ago. Paul McCartner is STILL touring to sold-out concerts. Can you name one band that will be even recognizeable in 5, maybe 10 years? I had this discussion with my younger brother 5 years ago - he swore "Live" and…

I have tried MRI's NO2 product. Essentially, it's a time-release L Argamine type product. When you work out, your body creates Nitrous Oxide, it's a vascular dilator - it's what makes your muscles "pump up". As a guy, it has other fundamental uses too; but let's move on. What I have noticed, is that when I exercise, my…

I'm an Electrical Engineer with ~25 yrs of exerience. I'd be very wary of going into Electrical or Software - many of these jobs are being out-sourced. I've worked for companies that have failed, where plants have been closed, where a product was released and the R&D engineers have all been laid off, and had my entire…

Do you want to treat the symptom, or the cause? The cause is that as we get older, the muscles in our calf contract - you may notice that you point your foot when you sleep. When you wake up, this calf muscle is still "contracted", so when you step out of bed, your foot doesn't get the motion it requires - thus tearing…

I've really enjoyed your posts. Correct, factual, clear and precise - and utterly accurate. Lots of people thrive on drama - Global Warming, Global Cooling, changing climate, GMO, pesticides, fungacides, ect. Knee-jerk emotional drama is so much easier and so much more satisfying than actually learning about any given…

I think the better question is "What drives men away?". Ever notice that unattractive girls have boyfriends too? Sure, cuties will get our attention - but then it's a quick list of traits that 'remove' them from the list. Among them are the "Princess" entitlement. I do not exist for her pleasure - I am not a slave. If I'm…

People hate change. It's just a fact. Your parents are seeing you change before their eyes, and the new person emerging is perhaps a stranger to them, perhaps a threat. Does this new person still love/need us? Will she like us? So, how do they react? Predictably, of course. The only way to get the OLD you back, is to get…

Absolutely amazing ... you are gonna rock that swimsuit this summer!!
-
Fantastic job!! You've dropped 55 lbs and finally have the body you've dreampt about. Way to go!!

You are 25% of the way to your goal. If you quit, eventually you will return to your original size; and if you are anything like most people - you will surpass that. This is a LIFESTYLE change, not a fad. This isn't a weekend task like weeding the garden. Your weight came on over years, perhaps decades of doing the wrong…

The biggest ingredient in Sea Water is H2O and it's H2o you want for hydration - sounds silly, doesn't it?. Drinking a diuretic with water will mean you will flush out more water than you take in. This isn't healthy, is it?
-
No. And here is why. Soda - Diet Coke, regular coke - whatever ... is carbonated. This is CO2 that is a toxin, a waste gas, is added to the water. This makes the soda taste 'good', but the CO2 also messes with your Seratonin/Insulin. http://www.inquisitr.com/206123/high-co2-levels-are-making-people-fat-says-new-study/…

A calorie is a unit of energy. The large calorie, kilogram calorie, dietary calorie, nutritionist's calorie or food calorie (symbol: Cal)[2] approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C. This is exactly 1,000 small calories or about 4.2 kilojoules. This is the energy your body…

Just a few things I always do. Scan a copy of your passport, and place it in your luggage. If your Passport should disappear - you have something. Batteries, Film or SD Cards, make sure you bring them - sure you can get them at the stores, but they will charge you more. If you are worried about getting sea-sick, I highly…

No HRM knows how hard you worked. It 'assumes' your rest heart-rate is 'x' and then uses a table to look up instantaneous heart-rates over the 'x' value to calculate a total caloric burn. This is like looking at how may RPM's your engine is running, and predicting how fast you are driving and what direction. You simply do…

Been through the Panama Canal, England and most of the Caribbean, however my FAVORITE vacation was with my college roommates and their spouses at Walt Disney World in Floriday. We all stayed at the Port Orleans resort for a week - and it was by far the best vacation ever. Why? Well friends is a big factor, but perhaps an…

Doesn't work the same for guys, different plumbing and stuff. The 'Boys' get chaffed, and that is a very tender area to get rubbed raw. It's quite literally the gift that keeps on giving, day and night.

You will find the Body Armor and Nike compression shorts running in the $30-50 range, here in the States. We have a Walmart that sells a knock-off product in the $15-25 range, I would imagine there would be a similar product over there. I'm all about saving money where I can - and as they are going to be under your running…

Melatonin ... been using it for going on 23 years. I suggest you buy the smallest dosage you can find, you an always take more. If you take too much, you'll get the opposite effect desired. I take it about 20 minutes before bedtime. Melatonin is a natural brain hormone that is produced. As a child, your brain produced…

You both look years younger now too!! Great job.

I USED to equate soda with water - then some studies came out on CO2 and what it does to your body. Stuff like increasing your appetite (THAT is why resturants sell soda - it's a profit center that also makes people eat MORE), messing withour Seratonin/Insulin responses (yeah, makes the good chlorestoral into the bad…

You are an inspiration!! When you put your mind to something, ain't nothing that you can't accomplish. And you have accomplished an amazing feat!

It's hard ... but this is the time of year to do it. Spring is near, pleasant temperatures - winter is past. Watch the grass turn green, the tree's sprout leaves. Got my shiny new shoes with comfy soles, tunes for my iPhone - and an upbeat attitude. Now, if the weight could only come off as well unconsciously as it went on.

That was actually one of the BEST articles on this, that I have read. I love the way your share your opinion. It may or may not be scientifically sound; but this is what you have found, and this is what you believe. And after reading your opinion, I think you've made a believer out of me, too. I'm a soda addict, and since…

I subscribe to the "Willardson Theory on Why Women date Jerks". Being a jerk is hereditary. Think of your typical jerk (a-hole); chances are his parents are ok, or if the jerk has kids, the kids are ok. Thus, being a jerk is a hereditary condition, that skips generations. No woman wants kids that are considered jerks; thus…

There are 2 approaches to this, the more foolish approach is to attack the symptoms. The REASON you have this problem, is that as we age, the calf muscles shrink. We sleep in a relaxed position, and our feet 'point' down. When we wake up and jump out of bed, the calf muscles are tight, and we take a step or two, and we…

There is a balance. At 2 yrs old - they do not realize 'cause' and 'effect'. They play through dinner, and are crying because they are hungry 1 hour later. So, you need to force them to eat; and finish their dinner. As a parent, it's your responsibilty to plan a healthy and balanced meal. However, at 12 yrs old - they…

Booby traps .... and I thought this was a post about bra's.

I know, I'm in EXACTLY the same boat. I actually went up a couple lbs - even though the caloric intake doesn't justify the body weight gain. I'm up 6 lbs from my low point - and I don't understand why. Still, I know that this is a healthier way to eat, and I have no problem living with this restricted calorie intake - I…

Wife went to Costco, and bought the Gi-normous roll of Aluminum foil; and she and her friends proceded to 'wrap' her boss's office in aluminum foil. Staplers, desk, chairs, pictures, books, filing cabinete, pens, .... everything. It looked like the room had been spray-painted with a mirror finish.
