To my fellow Canucks
I fully expect to see each and every one of you enjoying your turkey day! I will have none of this eat-just-the-salad nonsense! I expect DARK turkey meat on WHITE meat DRIPPING in gravy! Because if you don't I WILL find you... and EAT it for you! Happy thanksgiving guys! See you all on Tuesday as the anxiety finally wins…

How do you do it?
And I mean keep a positive attitude when it comes to helping others. When I first signed up, I wanted to share all I knew with any who'd listen, start some discussions, make the world a better place. Alas, it seems all too often the voices of reason are drowned out by 'common (mis)information', or 'hey look that fit person…

Open question for mixed-sports enthusiasts
Just to clarify, by mixed-sports, I mean those sports with both an endurance and a strength component. This includes most team sports, but my question is, how do you track your caloric burn during a given sports workout? Personally, I play a lot of rugby, but the actual effort that I put in during any given practice and/or…

Why you will NEVER lose weight doing just weight-lifting!
Hey guys! I tend to nerd out about a few fitness things, and in an attempt to single-handedly revolutionize the fitness industry, I wanted to see if I could turn the energy we spend lifting heavy stuff into useful energy (to say light a lightbulb)! To my dismay, this will NEVER work! Why you ask? A little bit of math (I'll…

A small experiment
I know everyone hears about how they shouldn't weigh themselves too often, but hear me out! What I want you to do is weigh yourself. First thing in the morning. Now, I want you to pour a cup of water 250mls. 250ml water = 250 grams = .55 pounds. DONT DRINK IT YET! Stand on your scale WITH the water. The weight should read…

Power level over 9000! No? How bout calories?
So I see a lot of people on here panic when they go over on calories! Which I really really really don't understand. So you went 500 calories over on one day? What's the big deal? In the big picture of things, say you plan on losing 1 pound a week. Oh noes! You'll have to diet FOR ONE MORE DAY. OH. THE. HUMANITY. Seriously…

Why 1200?
I search and search and NO ONE can give me a good answer why 1200 is ball-parked as the minimum safe caloric intake! It seems silly that everyone, male or female, tall or short, large or small, needs to live by this magic number! You can't even say it's because its recommended by doctors and nutritionists, because I asked!…

Controversial stance, maybe?
I hear the word 'natural' thrown around a lot. Somewhere down the line, a lot of people have confused 'good for you' with 'natural'. When you really think about what that word means, humanity itself is unnatural. So why this fixation on clean eating, no drinking milk, eat paleo, blah blah blah? First off, saying that our…

Not the only one, right?
So I've heard some names thrown around these forums in terms of fitness/nutrition experts that people listen to/read (J. Micheals, T. Venuto are a couple). I'd like to know who YOU follow, and why. I read Lyle McDonald a lot (bodyrecomposition.com) because of his very technical no-nonsense approach. He really delves into…

Too hot to workout?
Just wondering how everyone else deals with this. It's been abominably hot out for the last couple of weeks. Hot enough that even with every precaution taken, I feel like crap during/after most workouts. The most terrible thing is that I'm absolutely sure I'm not putting out the same amount of intensity as I normally do.…
