    Weight Loss Thread

    In this regard do you think I would see better weight loss replacing my "wasted" protein with high fat foods? I'm at the point where I should really only lose 3-4 more lbs. I would say.

    Thanks for explaining the 4 calories per gram of protein, that makes sense. I think I'll just limit myself to 200 grams of protein a day. It's not like I'm body building anyways. As a generally healthy person I'm willing to accept whatever minor kidney damage may occur in the month or so...

    I won't pretend to understand why you divide your calorie count by 4 before doing the 35% calculation, so I won't argue with that. However, if you think I'm at a high risk of getting diabetes, I will laugh in your face and then run laps around you.

    While this is correct, you start to run into problems when you consume protein greater than about 30-35% of your daily calorie intake. For me, someone who consumes about 2,500 calories a day, you would need to consume about 750 grams of protein to be at a serious risk level. Also, the types...

    Pretty much this. I don't count calories, and I sure as fuck don't starve myself. When I'm hungry, I eat, I just pick a high protein / low carb option. About it being bad for my kidneys... Once I'm closer to where I want to be, I'll probably relax on the diet a bit. For the time being, and...

    Honestly I eat it raw because I don't like the texture of it once it's been steamed, but I'm not opposed to the reported health benefits of eating it raw. I do tend to agree though, there are way too many other variables in your health to say that eating your broccoli raw is going to make much...

    I'm in a town of about 2,000 and there are exactly two options within a reasonable distance of where I work: Holiday Inn Express (which I'm currently at) and the local crack motel, which I'm assuming doesn't have a kitchenette either.

    I can't cook, I'm in a hotel room. No stove. Also, I know sweet potatoes are better than regular potatoes, but I hate them. No love for apples? I eat them because I still have moderate sugar cravings, they calm that and are high fiber. Why is raw broccoli stupid? A lot of research...

    You can substitute steak, salmon, or chicken for any high protein lean meat. In fact I would agree its probably better to vary things. Nothing wrong with steak or salmon though. The protein bars are what I have available. Are they the best? Maybe not, but with an end goal of 200-300 grams...

    I don't remember saying it was "super awesome," only that it worked for ME. And I honestly don't think I would have seen any better results going to the gym. Equal results? Sure. I firmly believe its not about what you do, but how you do it. A guy made Minecraft with a couple thousand...

    Some background - I started the above program 5 weeks ago, today is day 35 exactly. When I started, I was 5'10 and 178 lbs. I was not fat... but I was not muscular, and had a growing belly. I made a decision to start exercising the day I left for an 8 week business trip. My goal is to have my...

    Good for you guys for making the decision to lose weight and be healthy. The truth is, many diets work if you stick with them and make eating healthy a priority. That being said, try this if you want to kick it up a notch. It takes dedication to do, and you will undoubtably need to change...

    Accounting will net you a competitive pay check and usually only requires a single business calculus class. It's a degree that may not land you a six figure job at any point in your career (though it definitely can), but you will never struggle to find livable pay and will have many job options.

    The real disappointment for me is that it runs considerably worse than Shogun 2. Shogun 2 I could play at very high settings and got acceptable FPS (30+) nearly all the time. Turn times were probably like 30-45 seconds, even at the end of the game. Rome 2 runs like shit even on the lowest...
