Fermented foods are good for the gut and vinegar is a fermented food. There is limited evidence that apple cider vinegar can lower blood sugar and insulin levels in people with type 2 diabetes. But it is also very acidic so it can damage teeth or stomach lining. If you have any problems with reflux I'd talk to your doctor…

This!! Activated charcoal works.

As long as I'm in the healthy ranger I'm okay with it. Accurate measurement is too expensive for me to worry about BF% too much.

It could be a mild food intolerance causing inflammation. Have you always had these fluctuations or is this something new?

This!! It's fine to eat less on some days and more on others, but if you are having trouble functioning you may be eating too few calories, or not enough fat. What are your stats (age/height/sex) and calorie goal? Do you eat back exercise calories?

I can't even imagine trying to eat 5-6 times a day.

Desk pushups, squats, lunges, mummy kicks, resistance bands, side bends, etc.

Breakfast: big mug of tea Lunch: blue hubbard squash soup Dinner: Lasagna made with venison, Fiber Gourmet noodles, low fat cottage cheese, red wine Dessert: handful of cocoa dusted almonds

Exactly the same as proper diet and exercise without green tea. It has health benefits, but weight loss isn't one of them. I wish it was.

Bobby Flay is pretty fit.

Too much. Other than that it really depends on your goals and preferences. As long as you keep a calorie deficit you'll lose fat (if that is your goal) regardless of what you eat.

Mine is all over the place. I've had my fitbit for 3 years I think and so far the low has been 3156 and the high was 24215. On average probably about 9700ish. It's funny to me how many times I almost hit 10000 but fall short by <300.

None of that says parents weren't responsible. Your last paragraph pretty much suggests they were.

Tonight we're having blue hubbard squash soup and caprese chicken

Sorry did you want to keep talking? I can later but it's lunch time now so we'll have to pick it up later.

I feel the same. If a person loses a lot of weight they are not the same person either. People change with time.

Maybe for you it is.

Must? Um, no.

Not sure why you keep quoting me since I posted only about the meaning of a traditional marriage vow, but thanks for the info.

Sickness is not a guarantee. People die of things other than sickness. Health is not a guarantee, people who are lean and fit get sick. Edit: whether or not health is vow will vary by couple but that is not what the traditional vow mentioned above was written to mean.

Agreed. What or when you eat has little effect on metabolic rate. What you do is more important in that respect.

Not sure how that relates back to the vow, but I do think it's a good idea to discuss things that are important to you before marriage.

I get the gist of your post I think, but if one is very overweight or obese losing weight will likely improve health even if muscle is lost along the way and even if the diet is not balanced. You do not have to be healthy for your body to let go of fat. Unhealthy people lose weight and fat too. I do agree that eating a…

About remaining healthy? So many health problems can arise regardless of weight or fitness.

Of course that's true. But the point is that when people use that vow they aren't typically promising to remain healthy.

None of that makes me think your parents were not a big part of the problem. :(

Because 'breaking your fast' is the origin of the word, not necessarily the definition of the word. Many people don't consider a meal breakfast unless it is eaten in the morning.

We have but don't currently own one. But we have a few friends that have vacation camps where that or the great outdoors is the only option. We've used them many times.

The vow is typically not to stay healthy. It's ... 'to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part'. It's a vow to remain faithful in bad times and good.

If a child is overweight it is the fault of the parent/caregiver regardless of comments made. Children are children and it is up to the parent to control and guide their young lives. That's what parents are for.
