Is too much running unhealthy?
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-31095384 Interesting I remember seeing something similar a year or more ago. Something about not running more than 30 min at a time. This article could actually be based on the same study I suppose, since it's a long running (no pun intended) study. This suggests that there is a cap for both…

Sugar alcohols and net carbs?
I was checking out some Atkins bars at the store and they were labeled 2 net carbs. But when I checked the nutrition label and ingredients, they were actually pretty high in carbs, but were sweetened with alcohol sugars, which were then removed to get the very low ‘net carbs’ number. I’ve always heard that ‘net carbs’ were…

No/low impact DVD workouts
I am seeking DVD workout suggestions. I plan to do these in my office at work on my breaks or at lunch, so I need them to be 10-45 min long, no jumping, no heavy lifting, and use no equipment other than light weights (10 lb or less), resistance bands or other things of that nature. For reference, I am currently doing…

Help - Low carb desserts?
Does anyone have any tried and true low carb dessert recipes that would taste good to someone not used to eating low carb? Artificial sweeteners are okay. High fat is not, but it doesn't have to be low fat.

A co-worker offered me an old set of Zumba DVD workouts. Anyone here used or using Zumba DVDs? I don't want to take them if I won't use them so looking for some general information like is it a good cardio workout (cardio is what I'm looking for)? How much room do you need to do it? Or any other information or opinions on…

Fat but with healthy BF%
I've had my BF% measured by 2 professionals and both showed it in the healthy range (26-27%). But I'm overweight by BMI by more than a couple of pounds. Would you think this is a problem? I am trying to lose weight but is it just vanity if all medical tests show I'm healthy? Should I care more? At 50 yo, am I a walking…

How do you do it?
How do you change your lifestyle when you are very happy with your current lifestyle? How do you find the motivation to trade happy for something else? I would like to weigh less but I am struggling with changing something I love. Does anyone have any tips other than what Nike has already told me?

Work as exercise
Does anyone know of a site that shows general calorie burns for things like digging (in dirt), weed eating, stacking firewood, and other such outdoor 'work'? I can't find most of this stuff in the MFP database. Someone told me how to add exercises, but that doesn't help with how many calories burned because it wants me to…

Weighing and measuring food
Do you measure and log everything you eat? If yes -- How do you find the time, or the will? Does it not drive you crazy? At what point do you plan to stop, or is your plan to measure everything for the rest of your life? What type of diet do you eat? How many ingredients in the average meal? How many raw ingredients that…

Locking topics
What causes a topic to be locked? I was on the topic (Are calories just calories?) just now and it suddenly was locked. There was disagreement, but no insults or promotion of unhealthy weight loss or inappropriate content. And no message stating why it was locked. It seemed very tame compared to most of the posts I've read…

Help! Logging homemade foods?
I've been trying to log my meals on here and I just can't seem to get the hang of it. First of all, what's up with all the different entries for the same thing? How do you ever figure out what is right? But, my biggest problem is that most of my food is homemade and there just aren't entries for many of them. For example,…

Pushups are HARD
I thought I am fairly strong for my age. Not weight lifter strong, but stronger than average, since I do a lot of digging, lifting, carrying, etc. at home. But pushups are kicking my bum! I can barely do 10! I guess I'm not so strong after all. Much work to be done here. That is all.

My goodness, these forums are addictive. There is so much negativity and nonsense. It's like a train wreck. I can't decide if I'm glad I found it or I should delete my account and run for the hills.
