    Weight Loss Thread

    Kind of interesting you should say that, because the two intervention studies included in this review show that they aren't. The observational studies are anything but consistent, much less causative, and the bench research seems to be virtually worthless. For something as important as obesity...

    What is all this "gluten-free" shit?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis Doesn't fully explain the increased incidence of allergies/asthma, but there is some pretty compelling evidence behind the idea

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Studies have been done to show that there is a modest increase in muscle synthesis and recovery if protein is taken within 30 minutes of finishing a workout compared to taking it throughout the day. Like most nutrition/sport science research, there are major problems with these studies from a...

    You'll change your tune after the first bout of food poisoning. I made some egg drop soup with egg whites that were 2 days over the suggested time....never again

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    They've already stated multiple times that the game won't be f2p. If paying the $15 per month is really such a gigantic issue for you, just don't buy the game. I love playing golf, but I don't want to pay for a membership at a nice golf course. So, rather than sit in the parking lot and rail at...

    Amazon preorders apparently went out a bit early...someone's going to be in trouble for this one, I think.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Too soon to tell. From the way alpha looked, it seems like it will be a combination group/solo game. However, alpha only went to lvl 20, so things could change pretty drastically towards cap (lvl 50, afaik). Leveling speed was pretty fast I suppose, but when you combine this with storyline...

    Wheel of Time series

    This book cannot come out soon enough. I've been reading this series for such a long time...to think that it will all be over in less than a month is exciting and saddening at the same time. p.s. These little snippets are fucking killing me. I really need to stop reading them

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah, the consensus seems to be that it's virtually a completely new game. Graphics are different, gameplay is different, server structure is different (to reduce lag)

    Man, I fucking love the Red. What's your home crag? We've got some decent stuff down here in Austin, but it just doesn't compare with the perfect, sculpted stone they've got in Ky.
