Circumferential Abdominoplasty / 360 Body Lift / Tummy Tuck
Seems like there are very few stories by men about it on here. I didn't spot any actual images in search. I just wondered if anyone had any experiences to share. I'm schedule to have the procedure a week from today. A little nervous about it - I've never had a general anesthesia, and it sounds like the procedure being 6…

Does the fitness industry need a metoo push?
So today I just came across discussion about Bret Contreras's private behavior. It kind of blew up around the time he was making childish responses to a research study that went against his love of hip thrusts to grow glutes - he responded with an article that was kind of DYEL to the researcher publishing it. That lead to…

Dieting quotes famous people should have said
Take a famous quote, and change it to be about diet, fitness, exercise, etc. Start "I went into a calorie deficit because I wished to eat deliberately." - Henry David Thoreau

How do I have no sugar addicts in my office
So a fair amount of spare Halloween candy has been brought into my office and I've noticed a trend about what doesn't get eaten: Skittles and Starbursts are both seeing a much longer life span than say kit-kats, Snickers, or Hersheys. It seems that if sugar addiction was more explanatory than just palatability, the…

Could rapid weight loss being healthier sometimes?
So this thought has started to fester after listening to Diabetes Researcher Nicola Guess discuss the The Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT) study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4754868/ In it, roughly half of people that lost 15kg or more in a few months put their Type 2 Diabetes into remission,…

Is protein truly more satiating?
Just read this from Menno Henselmans: https://mennohenselmans.com/protein-is-not-more-satiating-than-carbs-and-fats It seems and interesting nuance to the protein satiety claim: protein is more satiating when the diet is already low in it, but it loses the effect for high protein diets that meet and exceed protein needs.

Spot reduction: Perhaps not so mythical?
It seems that spot reduction is a pervasive hope of many, and denying that possibility a perhaps perverse pleasure of skeptics. So while there are many nails in the coffin, a 2017 study may be a zombie pounding from inside the coffin: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28497942 16 inactive women began an 8 week training…

Top 19 Nutrition Myths 2019
So Examine just put this out https://examine.com/nutrition/awful-nutrition-myths/ And I thought it might be interesting to discuss and see if anyone has any myths they think are bigger than Examine's list.

Pesticides in organic versus conventional farming
@kshama2001 suggested this be on a different thread. So yes, rotenone has moved off of the schedule of FDA approved pesticides for organic. Last I heard read it was up for removal, and it seems that has come to pass. There is still the matter of cuprics - copper derived pesticides like copper sulfate. Per a source I think…

Why do ketogenic diets affect some people's appetite?
Clearly not everyone one's, but I find it interesting to consider why some people's hunger is impacted by ketogenic diets. I've heard insulin control as one explanation. I find this explanation unsatisfactory because if excess insulin played a large part in excess appetite, losing weight would be a virtuous cycle, even…
