    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    So wait, they are getting rid of the shitty ass light levels and now its just straight exp, as in like grinding mobs and such? Or am I missing something? Because I thought that this was one of the bigest downfalls of this game was the retarded light system and relying soley on RNG. For instance...

    I like it, watched the first 3 last night. But one thing I cant stand is all the subtitles, just way too much of that shit. I dont mind reading my movies/shows but it just get so monotonous. Especially since I like to get up, go to the kitchen or something get a drink, or check the phone...

    Also keep in mind that protein, more often than not, comes along with fat. Other than a few really low fat protein offerings, it always comes as a pair not mutually exclusive.

    And thats fine, bro. But again, this is the "Weight loss thread" not what can get a meathead to 8% bodyfat the fastest, keep that in mind. And yes you are right, calorically wise of course a 180cal can of tuna will be more satiating than 2 tablespoon of 180 cal olive oil. But you cannot discount...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    Meh, the EA dogma, not all EA is the same EA. Ive found the entire battlefield/Dice series quite nice. Yeah BF4 was shipped early and unfinished, but provided hundreds of hours of pure entertainment. Same with BF3 and the older BF series. I found the BF series way more enjoyable than any other...

    Of course they are. this is why a low carb/high fat/moderate protein diet, people tend to keep caloric intake down naturally because they just feel full and eat less. Carbs, especially the highly refined ones, have been shown to have an addictive quality to them. Like when you eat a bag of chips...

    Well considering the national BMI charts, you fall right in line for normal, for a 6' man with BMI 26 is 190, to get down to 20 BMI you would weigh 150. Other charts of weight to height ratio average for a small frame man and medium frame man have normal range pegged at 152-164 and 160-174...

    Weight Loss Thread

    If your going low carb, replace the carbs with more fat, rather than protein. Ive also heard that anything past .8g/lb if lean muscle mass is overdoing protein. Getting 200g from whole foods without supplementing like 1/2 of it is hard to do. I would shoot for <100g carb (good carbs low...

    If its working stick to whats working for you. When you get stuck just power through it. But from what I have read and experienced go low carb. Cut the shitty processed stuff and stick to whole foods. Loosing weight is 90% diet not excersise. You cannot excersise your way out of a shitty diet...

    Yeah thats basically where I was at as well, I need 4. No sense just getting me on the plan without my wife and kids as well. It would probably be more expensive in the long run. Not to mention the G4 cost too since I basically got 3 S5 for free from Verizon. ($30 ea.)

    But you have to be keto adapted for that shit to work. Thats the problem, a lot of people feel like shit the first two weeks on keto and they stop. But your body needs to adapt to burning fat as a fuel source, like muscles building the proper enzymes to utilize fat and this takes a few weeks...

    As is protein converted to glycogen when no carbs are present. Glycogen levels are 1/2 that of a carb consumer but you also use 1/4 of your glycogen when under heavy excercise because you are adapted to burn fat as a fuel source. As to performance gains, yes there is performance gains in shit...
