    This is my experience exactly. I find it much easier to eat good food and not worry about counting anymore. It's not difficult once you find your staple foods that you can eat regularly. Easier to resist the crap, and eventually you dont even want it anymore.

    Buying a car?

    Right now I'm going through the paces on the A4, BMW 3 series, MB C300 and Infiniti G37 (or possibly wait for the Q50). Based on pure aesthetics I'm loving the Audi. The interior is so much better than the others... save for the G37 which I have yet to see in person. Anyone go through this...

    I'm not a fan of calorie counting. Although Ive done it and been successful with it, it's too much of a hassle for me long term. The other issue is how inexact counting is. From human error in screwing up the weights and numbers to the huge variables like metabolism, calorie expenditures and...

    I cut them into thick steak fries, bit of olive oil on top, salt and pepper then bake in the oven. So good. Or just microwave them.

    I think that's the bottom line for you. If you just eat foods they recommend, really in whatever quantities that satisfy you, I think you'd be very successful long term. I'm looking at this:http://www.bulletproofexec.com/the-c...letproof-diet/ Stick with the "eat" side of those charts and...

    I like these things lately. Also these macadamea caramel chocolate things we found at costco. Really good. If I am trying to lose fat I'll only eat one rarely. But maintenance, assuming I'm going to the gym and eating decently I can eat em every day.

    Yeah I have a slice of toast with my eggs in the morning too. But I cut that from two slices, plus a sandwich for lunch, and some form of bread with dinner. One slice of toast is what 150 calories maybe. No big deal.

    One of the fitter guys I know loves his bagels. Not sure how often he eats them but point being if you're going 80-90% of your calories with good food, that other 10-20 can be whatever. Bagels, ice cream, pop tarts, pizza, fries... The people who need to watch out are like you said, people...

    The people who stress the no gluten thing go overboard sometimes. Still if your goal is weight loss or generally getting "fitter"; avoiding or moderating bagels, pizza, cereals etc is uncontroversial. It's a good base to start from for people who just want to be told what to eat to get fitter...

    Girls are sort of indoctrinated with that. Even in an environment where other girls are doing squats with amazing bodies, some of them still fear it. Gonna look bulky! Or they just are afraid to get under challenging weight.

    Crossfit/Paleo is simply better than elliptical/eat crap that most people do, assuming you find a good gym. In fact I'd say it's an excellent fitness 101 regimen and then you can figure out for yourself where to go from there. Crossfit will introduce you to squats, dead lifts, cleans, press...

    That really would have been interesting to watch the reaction. I thought for sure this was BS when I saw it initially.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I'm not a DC comic nerd but Superman vrs Batman isnt very far fetched to me. In my mind Lex Luthor is the iconic Supes foil. Smart, rich guy. So why wouldnt Batman fit as an adversary? I'm in for this, but I'm not seeing how it forwards Justice League.

    When you say immigrants I think recently came over, which is it's own set of circumstances. Language barriers, more severe cultural differences, no extended family sometimes etc. If you mean any race or culture that has an established presence in a nation then it's largely class in my...

    That's bullshit. As I said above my town is almost evenly mixed black and white, a lot of mixed marriages too. The kids in my sons school are all from at least middle class families, mostly upper middle class I'd say. All speak perfect english, very bright, great kids regardless of skin...

    My son that's about to go into kindergarten sometimes says "Mines" instead of mine. "Oh this one is mines" It drives me nuts. The school is really diverse but it's expensive. Everyone speaks proper English. I'm assuming he got it from one of the teachers aids or something. But it kills...

    I agree. If he was really the aggressor and she went out, got a gun, came back, shot at the wall near him and said "now get the fuck out". Medal of honor not 20 years. Of course, if she's a psycho making up the abuse then proceed.

    So here's my question with this, anyone here ever get asked by an adult stranger what they were doing when they were in their teens? Because I know it's happened to me more than once (and sometimes justified btw because I was up to no good) . Out late at night in a residential area, you get...

    I guess they are just trying to be thorough at this point. Isnt the jury all women? I think they are trying to make TM out to be as unsympathetic as possible to avoid some emotional decision.

    No evidence and I dont think it much matters who was screaming. I think there is evidence TM was on top punching GZ. They were probably both scared at some point. Maybe TM thought I'm gonna beat this creepy ass cracker up a bit for stalking me, the gun comes into play then it's Help Help. Or...

    I actually dont think either of them are particularly shady characters. I think Zimmerman was suspicious of the kid and I think Martin was afraid/annoyed someone was following him. Nothing illegal about either of those thing. It became tragic when the physical confrontation started so that to...

    I havent followed this very closely since I found all that media bullshit to be absurd. I do know the basics however. The controversy for me is how this physical confrontation started. Did Zimmerman corner this kid or stalk him, try and detain him? Did Martin jump the guy? I dont know the...

    Yeah the new Accord looks really nice. We have a CRV which is definitely smaller than the Pilot but bigger than an average car. So that class might be a good compromise.
