Does external temperature affect cals burned?
Does external temperature affect cals burned? E.g. does an equivalent amount of exercise in cold vs. hot weather make any difference? (P.s. I'm aware if it does the effect is probably negligible, so this is really just a hypothetical question..)

Paleo Diet vs. Mediterranean Diet...
In the blue corner we've got the Paleo diet, focused on eating the way our ancestors may have done - lean grass-fed meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, roots, eggs, seeds and nuts. Low on refined carbohydrates and processed oils... In the red corner, the Mediterranean diet - high in olive oil, unrefined cereal, fruits,…

Share your meal plans
I'm trying to create a fresh set of meal plans. My ultimate goal is to have 2 weeks worth that I can rotate to keep every day fresh and varied. I'm toying with the idea of having a different ethnicity meal each day, but I'm totally open to different ideas. Do any of you have meal plans you'd care to share?

Truvia - yay or nay?

Chili recipes with no canned ingredients?
I'm looking to make some chili from scratch... mostly to avoid the sodium filled cans (even with low sodium canned varieties, so many cans go into a batch that it's hard to keep it down). Anyone got any good recipes or hints and tips?

Authors with Prodigious Imagination?
I just finished up Iron Council - the third in China Mieville's Bas Lag saga. It made me realize that I'm a huge fan of stories with prodigious imagination. Hard sci-fi and high fantasy is all good and well, but if you really want to hook me, you need to delight me with crazy ideas. Looking back, I think that's why Clive…

Benefits of Gluten free diets for regular folks?
My wife's doc has recommended a trial period on a Gluten free diet - specifically she recommended the "Wheat Belly" approach. My wife hasn't been officially diagnosed with any gluten intolerance though, especially not with celiac disease, and since I'm not familiar with gluten free eating, I thought I'd ask you experts…

No soreness after lifting, doing it wrong?
This one's for all the lifters out there... I'm just full o' questions this morning. :tongue: I'm not new to weight loss but I am new to lifting. Did it 20 years ago, but only recently started again. At the minute I'm lifting heavy enough that 3 sets of 10 reps takes me to failure, but I'm not feeling that next day (or…

Do you subtract your BRM from your earned exercise cals?
Just wanted to ask if any of you do this and what your thoughts are on it... Assuming you've got your activity level set to sedentary, your logged exercise cals are added to your daily allowance. But let's say you've got a hypothetical BMR of 2400/day - that's 100 cals per hour - and let's say your HRM tells you you've…

TROOF!
1. Every time you eat below your BMR, a small kitten somewhere passes away. 2. Dr. Oz is right. 3. Your weight went up because ignorance weighs more than fat. 4. Wrapping your torso in clingfilm helps you sweat the fat out, but cutting your wrist and bleeding it out is, like, waaaay quicker. 5. Sugar from fruit will make…
