You sure the Japanese label says 100 and not 170 or 180?

Ohhhhh snap! Jack Twist just got told!

^^^ weird

Why would his family die out after several days with no food? There are still a couple indigenous tribes in Australia and Africa that practice persistence hunting. As for being chased down by a cat, that would definitely suck for someone, but it certainly doesn't mean the end of the species if one or two weak, old members…

You should read Born To Run by Chris McDougal. Humans are in fact the only animal that can run long distances. How do you think hunter/gatherers hunted before they invented tools and weapons?

I approve of this message.

I nominate this as the most useless thread ever on MFP. I will open my food diary to anybody whose business it is.

Was your long run a LONG run? The point of the long run is to run you body down to moderate or severe fatigue, so you're doin it right.

Like everything else, you should not just accept that the FDA has your best interest in mind in any decision they make, but you should find out for yourself. The aspartame approval process alone should make you take all their rulings with a grain of salt, as it was mired in all sorts of twisted politics, cross pollination…

Truvia is highly refined, and has large amounts of added erythritol.

Muscle ways more then fat? I hope I don't loose it.

Because it's "natural."

Let me see if I can simplify this for you. Scientifically, the simplest, most logical statement that you can make regarding diet is "there is no optimum diet." This is the starting point. From here, you can make a statement contrary to this, but you have to prove why what you are saying is true. Do you see why this is?…

Next time, instead of saying "Six meals a day is better" just say "six meals a day worked for me." The latter statement is factual, the former is totally false. Also, if you're going to talk about micro/macronutrient usage in the body (such as slow burning carbs being bad, or good carbs containing good cholesterol?!), it's…

I think the problem people have with this post is that the majority of it is either non-factual, bro-science, or highly subjective. For instance: Not true at all, 5-6 meals is not a "better way". Have you ever heard of intermittent fasting? Lean Gains? Spike? The Warrior Diet? Scores of bodybuilders ingest all of their…

Your RMR can also fluctuate based on hormonal (im)balances. That's where micronutrients start to come into play.

Yep, you got me. I've actually never even uttered the words "carb cycling." And I've definitely never felt guilty for eating a whole pizza.

Not true. Telling myself that I'm "carb cycling" makes me feel less guilty when I eat an entire pizza by myself on long endurance workout days.

How do you figure?

LOL... you're telling me you read the entire two volume 1400 page study regarding the Minnesota starvation experiment? Consider me skeptical. I think it's fairly clear that much of the weight loss during the semistarvation period of the MN study was muscle mass, considering the rehabilitation period was designed to put…

I think it's pretty clear that he IS insulting people, considering the original post was titled "People are stupid"

Low carb nutrition plans work fine.

Right. But just because they have a piece of paper on their wall does not mean that either of those things are true. Again, how many general practitioners do you see who disagree with the lipid hypothesis?

This post is so meta.

Three words: The Spanish Inquisition

Actually, for a 70 kg man with ~45% lean body mass you can assume around 700g - 1200g of carbohydrate storage. http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000960

Not Paleolithic ice cream.

Interestingly enough, you'll notice in the background that they state that long term dietary studies are difficult due to high attrition (but not limited to a certain diet. )

I believe the study that freerange is looking for is here- http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa0708681
