Yes, I'm convinced there is a lot of sugar in the standard american diet and it's not a good thing. But if that doesnt convince you, just look at the people on this thread raging over it. If the sea otter and Duppin hate it you know it's good. Adebisi has his own agenda, he doesnt want the...

Yet again, no. Neither should you stop driving cars, watching TV, using the internet, taking modern medicine when necessary, getting any needed surgery done or even eating food that people didnt have access to 20,000 years ago if it is shown to be healthy. Cavemen didnt eat olives, olives are...

The argument is that we didnt eat grains up until 10k years ago. The hundreds of thousands of years prior we didnt, and many grains aren't especially good for us. Some grains like rice arent harmful, but some like wheat can be really bad for certain people and are not ideal in general. We...

Pains me to do it but I agree with Ark on this. Just dont be a retard and throw on 315 and try and squat it. Dont even do 135 if you cant handle it. Start with a bar and be realistic. Really though if you have 100+ pounds to lose just do whatever you will stick with. Whatever you enjoy...

Down to 192 this morning, a high of 202 so 10 pounds. So far so good, I'm not even trying to lose just eating within the parameters. Energy is very consistent, no slumps. I never feel like I'm starving which I absolutely used to previously. By far the biggest pain in the ass with this is you...

It's such a big component though. I feel like people pay way more attention to what they do for exercise than eating. A lot of people tune out and just pick a diet for short term weight loss. Just my perspective. So: Eggs Usually 3 a day for breakfast. With yolks, fried over easy...

Liked what i saw but couldnt catch the end. I want to know what happened... do they show them again?

Couldnt you use your HSA to pay the concierge service? I have an HSA too, my issue is finding a doctor. how the hell can you find a good doctor that still accepts patients?

I have recently tried salsa on fish (salmon) and it's really good. Although if you dont make it yourself a lot of them have sugar in it. Specifically mango salsa.

Others can comment but no. Just volume to get gains. You look like you eat a typical diet for people looking to get in shape. Again nitpicking stuff yeah but generally fine. Different fat sources for instance, maybe avocado, olive oil, tree nuts instead of peanut butter. But good sources of...

@ ark loldidntread.gif you're an idiot. Springbok wants to add a whopping 6 pounds, said he might bulk. Starting Strength or similar plus eat enough = more lean mass at the rate of 1-2 pounds a month, roughly. Not 60 pounds in 3 years by jogging every morning or whatever the voices in your...

Lyle McDonald and Alan Argon say you're an illiterate cunt, and I agree, bro. They also want to know if you even lift. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/mus...-mistakes.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/mus...an-aragon.html To clarify for those that care, this is near optimal gains. This...

Starting Strength + eat enough and you'll gain it quick enough. According to this guy 1-2 lbs a month: http://www.t-nation.com/portal_inclu...-training.html

Goals? I dont see anything wrong other than nitpicking. I dont do the small meals thing, grazing, but I've read about it. Some info here if you're interested:http://www.precisionnutrition.com/in...asting/summary I dont follow the IF, meal size thing really. Most important thing is what...

Paleo for lifters by the guys at 70's big: http://70sbig.com/blog/2013/01/paleo...rs-sneak-peak/ I'm in for this. Hopefully he covers lean gaining and fat loss. We will see. Edit: a good breakfast by the same guy http://70sbig.com/blog/2011/10/sweet...o-hash-browns/

Or ban ark and make a nutrition thread. We did have a good discussion going at first after the expected initial derping. Sugar, fiber, HFCS, keto diets. Including people not inclined towards this particular approach or at least skeptical like Chaos, Brutal and Tuco. Even aychamo and Ark made...

For those that don't know A BM is an actual caveman. He believes his avatar picture holds his soul, and doesnt eat grains.

This is what you need to focus on to lose weight. The exercise component is a comparatively small part of losing fat. Anything will work if you're sedentary and have a lot to lose, long walks, swim, tennis, weight training, P90X, whatever. But most of it is what you're eating. If you're...

Progress pic, week 3:

Sometimes people on this even use asprin and cough medicine and drive cars. Not Flintstone cars either, ones with modern combustion engines and power windows. Sometimes I eat olives when I drive. Big Phoenix scoffs at the hypocrisy.

An article from the NYT in 1998 on the garbage then: http://www.nytimes.com/1998/03/22/we...y-i-think.html And one from today, saying hey maybe 1 egg a day wont kill you... BUT NOT THREE! http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/0...mid=tw-nytimes This is what following nutrition is like. It's...

That shit will kill you, it's unhealthy. Eat more bagels and cereal.

I've seen no hard proof or convincing argument either way for rice. More evidence that it's fine (all of Asia) than particularly bad (kind of high GI, not much in the way of nutrition). For me I've decided rice is fine in moderation and I personally wouldn't stress over eating it. In terms...

Put it in the sexy curvy lady thread?

Editing OP Doctor Approved:

Actually on topic: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/...5e7_story.html More anecdotal evidence that rice is fine and "home cooked" is the way to go. Also underscoring how big our problem is in the US. Now I have to look into this Michelle Obama thing, is she really pushing calorie...

Well yeah, I clearly have a preference for the thing I'm currently trying. Oh God. Tell me about the science Duppin. What are the odds those words would ever be typed?

So you're either literally posting the majority of the time with your mouth hanging open and drooling all over the keyboard ... interspersed with brief moments of lucidity, or have some split personality disorder.

THANKS! The OP is deliberately written to make it clear that not only am I not preaching, but I'm skeptical of the whole thing myself. I'm just trying it. So the whole preaching thing is bullshit. I have this up at another site based on gaming and I've gotten good responses from people who...

Seconded. Everyone should do a good 6 months + of Starting Strength regardless of goals. Best results I've gotten by far.

And again this is the type of comment that leads to repeated failure. Yes congratulations, you've regurgitated the conservation of energy as it applies to diet and think you've got it all covered. And that's as far as your brain wants to go because it gets hard when things get complicated...

My religion is a bit rusty but he *was* thin... I remember something about loaves of bread in a miracle. Probably skinny fat.

From the OP:

This is the kind of inane regurgitation that people run into when they look to try and drop some pounds and we wonder why it's a nation of fat asses. Instead of coke, drink diet coke because it has less calories. Reach for the Dannon Lite, skim milk and ice cream with 1/3rd less fat. Then go...

Glad you posted that Ishad. I've read it before but that's 4 years old now. But it did lead me to find this by the same guy: http://www.strengthvillain.com/?p=303 The crossfit I go to follows Greyskull, Rippetoe and Wendler's advice for the most part. Or as much as you can within a...

If lens flare is the biggest complaint about the next Star Wars installment I'll be ok with that.

At the crossfit I will go back to in a month or two they do a strength portion every day. 30 minutes to do either Squat, Deadlift, Press or Bench very similar to Starting Strength. Linear progression. Half the people in there are annoyed by it, they like the WODs. Run around and do burpees...

I thought Star Trek was great. Cloverfield was horrible, I will give him a pass on that for trying to be a bit different I guess but it was bad. Lost was great in the beginning and then just kinda wandered around and ended too late. If he can give us some interesting characters in Star Wars...

Are the back problems from lifting? That really sucks and it's one of my fears but you can get hurt doing anything I suppose. I think everyone should do it for a basic level of strength then you can do whatever sport or activity.

Is that you in the avatar?
