    Do you want WW3? This is how world wars happen. Can't wait until russia comes to "liberate" their new communist pals. That said, I too, am tired of earning the same wage that my dad did 25 years ago doing the same job. The rich are immensely richer, and the middle class has stagnated to...

    2 weeks of IF, small progress. Pretty happy with my body except my gut, just going to try staying super strong and dedicated to this for a while. Picture was taken at night, I do look a little leaner in the morning, but not enough to make a giant difference.

    Well, caffeine pills are 8 for 60 at the drugstore here (200mg) and I've bought a few times before, hydroxycut was 20 for 100 (130mg). So I guess if I was concerned with a couple bucks it is cheaper, but I'm not really concerned with the extra chemicals, they seem to be significantly more potent...

    I can easily eat 400+ calories worth of ranch dressing in 1 setting if I'm hungry and eating a big salad. And using "regular" ranch. 400 calories of light ranch would be a lot harder to achieve since it's usually about half or less calories for the same amount of volume.

    Yea, 5 lbs in a week... that's a pretty insane cut, even if you're talking about a lot of water weight, which you probably didn't have... I guarantee there is some muscle loss with that too, but then again, for long distance running, I guess lower weight balances out the muscle mass loss as far...
