    Breaking Bad

    People are so upset by the gunfight. I admit I was thinking the same thing, Gomie should be dead at least, but who cares. They had Stormtrooper aim, get over it.

    Breaking Bad

    They needed to set things up for next week when Walt Jr pulls up, slowly gets out of the car with twin pistols, raises them and says "Have an A-1 D-d-d-day" before wasting single person there.

    2000 is really low I would say. You'd screw your metabolism up. I'd go for 2400ish especially if you're lifting etc. Maybe a bit lower on off days. Just my 2 cents. But yeah eating right will do the job for you without even counting calories in my experience. Good luck, post updates.

    I dont think you need cardio, you need to eat good food and be active. As for motivation you'll probably see quick initial changes if you get your shit together.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Nice I'm jealous. Is there a difference between that and the A4 as far as the interior goes? I looked at an A4 last week and loved the interior. Love the color too, good luck with it.

    What are you playing?

    Any platform. As for me, I just installed Diablo 3 free version on my PC and trying to decide if I want to buy it. I'm looking for something to play. On my phone I play freecell and I installed something called Hero Forge that I'm going to try.

    WiiU and 2DS News(no not 3DS) WiiU price Drop/phase out

    Yeah my son loves the Kindle Fire and Ipad as a platform. Angry Birds, Ninja Turtles, Despicable Me, Iron Man... so many games for kids. For some reason tho he's hooked on Mario and the nostalgia is getting to me. I havent owned a Nintendo in forever so I'm going to try the U I guess.

    WiiU and 2DS News(no not 3DS) WiiU price Drop/phase out

    Hmm nice. Might get this for my 5 year old. Although I was considering the WiiU. The kid just wants to play Mario games, so I thought WiiU would be fun for him but maybe this DS is the way to go... although I really wanted to play multiplayer with him. For 2 DS2's I should just get a WiiU

    From what I have read the people at that site and others are a sort of counterbalance to the whole Keto/Low carb proponents. Meaning you see a lot of Keto based strategies for people trying to get lean or lose fat. That can lead to a bunch of skinny fat people. When I try to eat paleo I...

    You've discovered the truth about "calories in calories out". It's an estimate at best and doesnt take into account things like metabolism changes or what you're eating. That said, you might be better off than just the pure weight change suggests. I'd take measurements and see if your body...

    It's probably a good amount of water weight but I do look and feel leaner. I think 1-2% is possible to drop this quickly. Still more to go but that would be really good for when you're at 10 or 11% trying to really get into the single digits.

    I did one cycle of it and the short story is I feel like it worked as advertised. It's a big calorie restriction so no surprises really but at least I feel like everything is tighter. Who knows how much of the loss was water, fat or muscle. At the start of the week I was 185. Today I stepped...

    I'd agree Keto is a more extreme approach and not something to be done long term for most. Just my opinion. That said it's miles better than the typical shitty diet many people have. It's not so much that carbs are bad it's the pizza, bagels, chips, cakes, cookies, muffins, giant hero bread...

    Yup. That is the problem. Lose a good friend, or stay in a dangerous situation. I'd like to think I'm mature enough to not do anything improper, but I always go back to "is that really wise". And really... just the pace and frequency we chat it seems improper already even though there is no...

    I dont see it as a 180 really. Paleo is great for me for maintenance, completely effortless to keep lean on it, great for a quick weight loss if you have a lot to lose and then it gets slow and steady. It's more of a lifestyle thing. A great basic foundation to work off of. So for me I do...

    5 lbs a week for bench is pretty standard linear progression. Start low and keep going up. However also standard is to be gaining weight while you're doing this, at least eating at a surplus. You can make gains initially but when it gets heavy you really need to eat to progress. In my...

    Yep. It's not hard. If you're eating a good amount of protein and fat I found it to be easy to skip a meal. What I've read is that you're in ketosis from fasting throughout the night, so just keep it going as long as possible. I really dont know how much stuff like that matters though, it's...

    It matters, UD2 is not a good call right now for you imo. Also wanted to say dont over analyze things. Keep doing what your doing and eat good food. I'd say eat a bit more but again, dont over analyze. Find foods that are good for you and that you enjoy eating.

    I agree with you here. I'm not a keto 100% of the time advocate. Although like you say it depends on the person. If you're in sports or lifting fairly seriously you need carbs imo. Or at least you're better off that way. All this means to me is there are multiple paths to being fit and lean.

    I understand that argument in principle but they take lack of absolute clarity for a fault. It turns into a semantics game of what is clean and how do you define that. I would say that refined sugar is actively bad. You can say you get the fructose in fruit and it's basically the same thing...

    Short answer: Yes. The end result is you eat under maintenance with "good" food. I do think there is something to be said for insulin spikes, carbs and sugar tricking your body into thinking it's not full, you can even throw thermic effect of food in there too. Overall though it's way...
