haha, don´t worry, i did the same thing.... mine was for Once Bitten also

heck yeah, and if they made it a charity fund raiser, I would pay for the cure for cancer

If you are using free-weights, you can´t cheat. they will stay even during a benchpress However, there are machines that mimic the motion of a benchpress where that can happen. Many of the cheaper at-home machines are like that. I think the debate is between free-weights and machines.. where many machines allow you to…

do not focus on your weight, focus on your size or energy levels. Weight is such a poor indicator of progress you are making, especially early in the process. It is a huge issue because many people are making great progress, but they focus on the wrong metric to measure it, and then become discouraged. You are a gorgeous…

I am not a prude at all, but I find it disturbing how easily Paris Hilton and Kim K became famous mainly for self- leaking a homemade porno.

Yes, because it would make the scene on the street so much better if afterwards he then handed my some money.

glasses make a woman look hot.

You are a doctor?... can I ask you a question?.. my best story about this. A few months ago I leave my house to go on a hike. My favorite form of exercise is wearing a heavy backpack and just going for an hour walk (ex-military and all that). had just started my afternoon hike, I am barely 100 meters from my house when a…

childbirth. Never understood what all the fuss was about...

It is called extinction and is true for any of your senses. The more you experience something, the more numb you become to it. It is actually a chemical process with your neurons. Like people who work in a smelly environment who stop noticing it. The same is true of your taste buds, if you were eating a lot of sweet, oily,…

Forget about doing an hour workout.. instead find 12, 5 minute exercises that you can do anywhere. Two of them should be squats(once in morning, once a night). Tricep Dips using a chair. Maybe buy some 10lb dumbells for under your desk and do curls and dumbell shoulder presses if you can get away with it. Do not…

Definitely true. Oatmeal also. Soluble fiber is not digested, but traps sugars and carbohydrates and causes them to be released slowly over an extended period of time.

As others have said, that is a short amount of time. The problem is that just water retention will play a big part of it. Boxers can lose 10lbs in a week just by dehydrating themselves. Also, 1200 is a bit low IMHO, it will cause some mental issues ( fatigue, irritability, problems concentrating) if you keep it at 1200 for…

Just remember to not become discouraged if you are working out hard and not losing weight quickly enough. If you are new to the gym, it is not unusual to put on some good muscle weight. Losing ´weight´should be a secondary goal... losing fat should be the priority.

it is for medical purposes? The main reason is to put stress on your heart in order to use an ECG to detect areas of low blood flow to your heart muscles that may get adequate oxygen during non-exercise times. It is also use to ´encourage´ abnormal heartbeats that only occur during exercise. It is sometimes used to check…

It is hard to tell without more information about the type and exact location of the pain. It could have just been a one-off incident where you stepped down hard and landed wrong. Like sometimes near the end of a run when you are tired you run off a curb and you can jar your knee and ankle. Most of the time we don´t even…

For everything you read here, or see in the gym.. kcal is the same as calories. Think of the word ´calories´ as a slang term for kcal. Technically, we (everyone) uses the word calories incorrectly... but don´t get hung up on that.. For all your practically purpose, anytime you see ´kcal´ just think calories.

You asked an important question. ´how do I get out of that vicious cycle´. You have to make small changes each day and gradually things will get better. If you make drastic changes you are going to have unpleasant side effects. For exercise, you are going to either get injured of feel wiped out. For dieting, if you try a…

75% diet 25% exercise But that is only if you are trying to lose weight. Once you get to your target weight, exercise is much more important to be healthy and feeling good.

another problem with prepped foods is the amount of salt, which means water retention.

You really have to be careful with squats and do them correctly. http://www.explain-health.com/proper-technique-squats-exercise.html With that said, a great exercise that works nearly the same muscles is to go hiking ( uneven terrain) with a backpack with some books or water bottles in it. Make sure the backpack is fairly…

I am not sure there is any research that shows a benefit to drinking a lot of water if you are already hydrated properly. But I do know that being dehydrated and not drinking enough water with meals can lead to a couple of bad things. First is poor nutrient absorption. You get less of the vitamins and minerals out of the…

Beans!! One of the healthiest and most underrated foods for everyone.

Personal opinion only here... but making ´never´ and ´none´ statements do not really belong in a health and nutrition forum. There just is no health benefit to completely eliminating normal food types. Health is not an extreme sport, you do not get healthier by making radical choices. All things in moderation.

You are doing great. If you are only a month into it, you still have some room to go with your current system. If you want to build muscle, you want to increase the weight you are using each time you can fairly easily complete your sets. You also might want to try droping your reps down to 10-10-8 while increasing the…

Squats are great for losing body fat, depending on your fitness level, you might not even need weights. They will build up your leg and butt muscles, which will give you a solid core to do other exercises. If you haven´t lifted before, dumbbell military presses are a must as your shoulders need to be strengthened since…

I am 45, and I actually found the 40´s to be a bit easier than the 30s. My body and metabolism changed a lot around 29-33, which took a lot of getting used to, like no longer just being able to eat whatever I wanted. I went up as high as 250lbs, but am now back to around 210-220, which is still a bit heavy for my height.…
