Effect of overeating
Say you burn 2500 calories in a day, but you eat 4000. Will your body be able to store all of those 1500 excess calories as fat and thus can you gain 200 grams in a day? What is the limit of weight gain in a day?

Building strength after losing weight
A common discussion topic is "should I lose weight first and then build muscle, or the other way around, or can I do them both at the same time?". Ok, so I had made my decision; I lost weight first, I can be done in 1-2 months. I did do some training, but not much, and I lost a bit of muscle. I don't really care about it,…

How do I accelerate lung regeneration after quitting smoking
Hi I'm Jasper and I am new here! :) So, I have this question (skip to the end if you want to jump right to it). But, to give some background: I recently quit smoking, about a year ago, and I will never smoke again. Every time I see (and smell) people smoking it disgusts me. Not in a judgmental way, but the smoking itself…
