More like BUMPkin, amirite?

I want to put this as kindly, and as forcefully as I can: Cellfood is a scam. You cannot get oxygen to your body by eating it. If you could, you still wouldn't want to, because there is only so much oxygen your red blood cells can carry- any oxygen in the blood other than that would be somewhere it wasn't supposed to be.…

This was fantastic!

Why do you want to keep smoking? I quit three years ago this month. What worked, for me, was Allen Carr's "EasyWay to Quit Smoking." I am absolutely serious. I've never met someone who has finished this book and continued smoking. It's not magic - it just tears down the lies that nicotine tells you. Addiction is not…

Ugh, I'm so sorry you had that experience. I've had wonderful doctors, and I've had doctors whose incompetence or cruelty just enraged me. I'm going to echo the sentiment on here that you might want to try a different primary care physician. Also, this reminded me of a really moving TED talk that you might want to watch.…

Maybe on your "day off," you could focus on balance and flexibility exercises or some kind of light physical recreation: gentle yoga, slacklining, juggling, frisbee, badminton, bowling... something that lets you move, but isn't a cardio or strength "workout." EDIT: Are you lifting weights? Building muscle helps a lot of…

When people just reply with a "bump," it means "I don't really have anything to say, but I think this post is important and should be kept fresh so other people see it." The frequent replies…

It all comes down to calories. If you drink a bunch of protein shakes and get too many calories, then you will gain weight. If you just add it to your regular diet as a way to get more protein, it will help stabilize your blood sugar, help you feel more full, and a bunch of other things that can be helpful. Just watch the…

Sorry to double-reply, but also: green smoothies with whey protein in them. You basically put a bunch of fruits and veggies in the blender, and it comes out as a high-protein, high-fiber shake. It is super easy to disguise the taste of fruits and vegetables you don't like when you do it like this.

I'm not sure what you consider a "high" level of fat, but my faves for protein are Luna Protein bars (12g protein, 6g fat- marketed at women but whatever, they're delicious) and Seitenbacher High Protein Bars (16g protein, 7g fat, and 14g fiber). The fiber in the Seitenbacher bar really fills you up- eat it with a glass of…

It sounds crazy, but I like to cook it in a pan with onions and garlic until it's really soft, puree it in the blender, and use this as a base for pasta sauce. I add oregano, basil, rosemary, olive oil... whatever I have around that would go into a tomato sauce, and a little tomato paste. I love red sauce for pizza and…
