Short people get the shaft
It seems like short people are always complaining that we get the 'short' end of the stick with low calorie requirements (my BMR is like...1200 or something). Tall people on the other hand are blessed with TDEEs of 2,000+! Jerks! But! I wonder: Do short people actually get less hungry than tall people? Do tall people feel…

Tonalin CLA for Cellulite/Fat Reduction Assistance?
Does this work? Of course in addition to diet/exercise. I've read that people have great success, but I'm not sure if its snake oil.

For about 3 months I have been exercising and over the past month I have incorporated weights into my squats (~33lbs, 3 sets of 25, sometimes more, sometimes less), along with some body weight exercises and a couple miles of…

How accurate are you?
I'm just wondering how extreme vs how lax some of you may be with logging! This seems like it might be a fun topic. :-) I'd say extreme is when you crack an egg and weigh that out (rather than taking the average off of the carton (e.g. 80 per egg) and lax is not logging little things (like creamers or anything under, say,…
