The World Ends Tomorrow and You May Die!
http://www.subgenius.com/pam1/pamphlet_p1.html The evil white carb pushing machine is the least of your worries. Those artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors may kill you, but not soon enough. Where will you be when it all goes down? On the elliptical? On line at the drivethru? Will you be prepared? I am not…

Testing 1RM
For those of you who test your 1RM, where and how do you fit this in, in relation to your regular work sets? If doing it before the work sets, it seems like performance would suffer on the work sets (and probably cause failure). Doing it after seems like a bad time as well, because the energy is drained. So that sort of…

whatcha drinking?
I just went to put in my usual order of 10 lbs of Moka Kadir blend from Sweet Marias, but they are out of it for the foreseeable future. :sad: Their note: Moka Kadir is likely disappearing shortly due to a shortage of dry processed Ethiopians. But Tom is cupping new Yemens shortly - so we MIGHT be able to offer a…

Net calories: a word problem
Mark is trying to lose 20 lbs. He joins MFP and fills out his profile, targetting 1 lb of loss per week. MFP gives him a 500 calorie per day deficit to reach that goal. Mark's target calories are set to 2000. On day 1, Mark does 300 calories worth of exercise, and eats 2300 calories. What are Mark's net calories on this…

Protein Shakes = those uneasy jitters you get when you realize there's no whey left Juice Detox = stopping all steroid use cold turkey Calorie Free Foods = the peanut butter that you lick off the spoon. bites of food you taste while you're cooking I'm sure we can think of more of these :smile:

The burden is on you
Do you want to lose weight, get fit, get strong, get healthy? There is only one person who can make this happen and one person who can stop you, and that is yourself. It's not the food industry. It's not MFP. It's not your personal trainer. Your coworker eating McDonald's has nothing to do with your efforts, and neither…

Stupid people don't deserve to be lean
Just feel like stirring up *kitten*... These people who simply don't "get it", who look for quick fix after quick fix, who are not willing to put in any time educating themselves, who don't even comprehend how MFP is designed to work - they don't deserve to lose the weight. Discuss.

quick add tip
Ever want to quick-add some calories, but also quick-add some protein, carbs, and fat as well? Or just fine tune something? But you don't want to pollute the food database by adding yet another one-off food item? Sometimes I do this:

I can't reach my calorie goal. It's too much food!
People often complain that they can't reach their calorie goal. It is very important to fix this problem as soon as possible. Under-eating is just as bad as overeating. Ways to help alleviate the problem: - Plan your day of meals ahead of time. Mentally factor in your exercise, or even pre-log it. If you eat a little more…

Should I pay my taxes?

Medical conditions, medications, and weight loss
We often hear that certain medical conditions or medications can hinder weight loss efforts. I am aware of this anecdotally, but not scientifically. How does it work? Is it typically an exception to "calories in vs calories out"? The replies here might potentially be useful to put in the "Unofficial FAQ".

Strength training workout apps. Jefit, or ...?
I've been toying with the idea of tracking workouts using an app rather than good ole pen & paper. I've been using Jefit for a few workouts now. It's ok, but I don't love it. In fact, if it's between this and paper, I'll probably go back to paper. What is the best app for logging and tracking strength training workouts?…

The beans are found in coffee cherries, which grow on trees cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in equatorial Latin America, Southeast Asia, South Asia and Africa. Green…

Cutting and strength loss
For those of you who do bulk/cut cycles and the like, do you find that strength goes down during the cut? I'm a few weeks away from my first cut and basically nervous that my strength will inevitably go down. Also, do you change up your training program during the cut?

MFP Psychics

Help with Protein Shakes
I have some questions around the topic of Protein Shakes. When I make a protein shake, should I pour it into a glass, or drink it right out of the blender? Is it better hold the glass (or blender) with the right hand or the left? I heard that drinking it from a glass will help you tone but drinking from the blender will…

Dropping the barbell / avoiding damage
[Reposting from the BodyBuilding Group since nobody apparently saw it there] I have a relatively cheapo olympic barbell (Cap Barbell brand) and some decent Rogue bumper plates. I don't have a platform. The floor is concrete with hard carpet over it. It's the sort of carpet you might find in an office or commercial space.…
