    Danish researchers finally solve the obesity riddle

    I really fail to see how the dietary guidelines are materially different. Every single diet is just a variation of "eat less of X, eat more of Y." It's really two sides to the same coin. I really have stopped paying attention to diet studies because they don't tell me anything new. It is always...

    Danish researchers finally solve the obesity riddle

    www.diogenes-eu.org/Larsen%20et%20al%20Diogenes%20NEJM%20online%202010.PDF Full text for the NEJM article. I was able to access the Pediatrics article. On first glance having juts a single six-month follow-up is a *bit* of an oversight...most people don't tend to stay on this sort of diet...

    Top Gear USA Tonight!

    1) No chemistry between the hosts, they shoot off clearly scripted one-liners and then stand there waiting for the others to react. The writing is awful, but so are the hosts. It's like a bad comedy troupe. COMPLETE lack of confidence and natural poise. 2) The Lamborghini segment was the best...

    3.5 weeks into my new way of eating - My life is changed

    "Due to the paucity of the current literature, it is premature to conclude that BPA is carcinogenic on its own. However, the weight of evidence suggests that BPA increases cancer susceptibility through developmental reprogramming, potentially involving changes in target organ morphogenesis as a...

    3.5 weeks into my new way of eating - My life is changed

    Of course. It's not as if the beans are impermeable to salt. Regardless, however, we're talking a pretty big punch with the salt. Most commercial varieties could have 1500-2000 mg of sodium per can. http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/011110p62.shtml

    Help me become healthier on a $0 budget

    Doubtful. Elite athletes won't even hit those numbers, maybe half if we're lucky - 700 kcal/h. We're talking about a level of conditioning and performance 99.99% of people will never achieve. Either way, weight is a food thing. You can eat 'em faster than you can burn 'em off.

    3.5 weeks into my new way of eating - My life is changed

    Carcinogen? That seems to be a bit of a stretch. A potential endocrine disruptor, yes, which is why exposure is concerning in adolescents. But in developed adults, who are both physically larger and where sex hormones play less of a role than they do in adolescence, it's a bit murkier...

    3.5 weeks into my new way of eating - My life is changed

    FYI, there is somewhat of a flavor difference, but there is zero nutritional difference. Sucrose is sucrose. Same goes for iodized salt vs. kosher salt vs. sea salt. All are sodium chloride with trace minerals in varying concentrations. Flavor difference, yes. Nutritional difference = zero. A...

    Help me become healthier on a $0 budget

    Unless you switched from construction to desk work, your weight gain didn't come about as a result of inactivity. You won't lose weight simply by exercising and doing nothing else, either. You've got to watch what you eat - and how much. I'm guessing it is a combination of the two. Exercise...

    Grass-fed "free-range" beef cattle worse for the environment and no healthier?

    A "few" things this article from the "authoritative source" doesn't address. In other words, it's rubbish: 1) It has been shown that cows raised on corn vs. grass have higher concentrations of O157:H7 E. coli, which lowers the risk of mass contamination/food borne illness. 2) The entire reason...

    Does TrueProtein have AWFUL shipping prices for anyone else?

    I would be very careful who I buy my fish oil from. Many of the cheaper variants have been found to have large levels of PCBs and heavy metals in them because they extract the oil from fish livers, skin, and other internal organs. The more pricier, less generic variants tend to be purified and...

    Protein/Weight gain shake recipe

    Avidin is the protein that binds biotin in eggs and inhibits absorption. Cooking eggs inactivates avidin and denatures the protein, thus unbinding the vitamin. Bioavailability is almost not worth discussing. I'd personally be more worried about salmonella poisoning from raw eggs. I realize...

    Criticize my nutrition plan...

    The official "recommendation" is around five servings of fruits & vegetables a day (1 serving = 1 medium fruit, 1/2 cup cooked vegetables, or 1 cup raw veg/fruit). In my opinion, it should be closer to 10. This level of intake is perfectly doable and would be recommended particularly in your...

    The same problems are still present. This intake still lacks a glaring amount of vegetable...you get maybe a cup, two if you're lucky? As we've said, far too much reliance on protein shakes. You overdo the protein, period. You've hit over sixty grams before you even finish breakfast, which is...

    Toner issues...

    Thanks for all the help. I actually received a call from the same "executive" customer service division this morning and was told my replacement toner is in the mail. It "only" took about 2-3 hours of phone calls and firing off a "pissed off customer" e-mail to the CEO to fix the problem. I'm...

    Stuck....and its depressing

    I doubt it plays as much of a role as you're thinking. Usually all it takes to see tremendous biochemical improvements (i.e. markedly better lipid profile, increased insulin sensitivity, etc.) is a 5-10% weight loss - which is much less than most people think they need to lose. Obviously, the...

    Stuck....and its depressing

    Doubt you have been cutting calories too aggressively. A few days' excessive deficit typically isn't enough to cause a major change in metabolic rate. Estimate your maintenance at around 2500 kcals (using Mifflin-St. Jeor and activity factor of 1.3). This means for optimal weight loss you should...

    For the record, Mark Hurd was sacked earlier this year but Léo Apotheker, the new CEO, is at leo.apotheker@hp.com. I do appreciate the suggestion, I wouldn't have thought of going directly to the top - I kind of assumed "executive" customer service would handle that sort of thing. Or so I...

    Criticize my nutrition plan...

    SC curious to see where you are getting your #s from? The research numbers I have seen are closer to 1.2-1.7 g/kg body weight. Some say as high as 2.0 g/kg. Assuming a 200 lb male is 10% body fat (not unlikely in an athlete) your numbers would call for 180-270 g/day, which seems excessive...

    HP does not have "consumables" support according to the people I've talked to. Every single time I call I get routed to their printers division where a tech keeps on asking me for the "expiration date" despite my exhortations that toner doesn't expire. I even called their "executive" customer...

    As you can see, streaks/toner smeared all over the page. This was a brand-new HP OEM cartridge. Putting the old cartridge back in fixes the problem. Process of elimination. HP refuses to support me or swap out the cartridge because "your printer is out of warranty" and tells me to go back to the...

    Got my blood work results

    Triglyceride level is above where it should be (<150), and LDL is also higher than optimal (<100). Fish oil will help push down TG levels but there are more effective dietary interventions you can make, like reducing your consumption of concentrated sweets and foods with added sugar and limiting...

    Got my blood work results

    Got my blood work results

    VLDL is basically = triglyceride measurement. That number divided by four is added to LDL + HDL to get total cholesterol. Those numbers aren't particularly bad, LDL is higher than it could be but a few minor tweaks to your diet to bump that number lower. HDL is high...quite high, which is a good...

    Eating healthy with a busy lifestyle

There really is very little difference between regular rolled oats in the gigantic Quaker tube we are familiar with and the...

    Got my blood work results

    The triglyceride level would be the only thing that would be really affected by eating a meal and then getting lipids drawn. If you are having blood drawn, fasting is usually the rule of thumb, although I do recall seeing a study last year sometime that cholesterol levels were significantly...

    Lower back "tightness"

    I deadlifted over the weekend and did some good mornings...no problems while deadlifting, but as soon as I re-racked the bar after the good mornings, wham, tightness. Which leads me to believe that it may be a combination of hamstring tightness and a "pump" in my lower back... Thanks for...

    Lower back "tightness"

    Yes, that's it. I did weighted hyperextensions for the longest time, and I do believe that the feeling is rather similar...although I could be wrong, I'll give it a shot sometime later this week. Either way, videos are always a good idea and I'll have to see about getting those the next time...

    Lower back "tightness"

    Hmm...now that you mention it, it might be the "pump" but in my back. Didn't think of it that way. The "pain"/tightness does not feel vertebral or bony since it is not restricted to the spinal area - the tightness is definitely muscular - almost a kind of "ache" that resolves immediately...

    Lower back "tightness"

    I'm pretty sure this is related to either hamstring tightness or volume, but I am having an issue with my lower back being very "tight" when I finish a set of Romanians. There is no sharp pain, it just feels like I've rolled out of bed after staying immobile all night. One stretch resolves the...

    Cheap in-ear earphones with no leakage

    I am looking for a good cheap (~$20-30) pair of in-ear earphones to use at the gym. I have a pair of Shure SCL4s which are terrific but these are not really for gym-use and the low-end Shures are way out of my price range. I would prefer that they not leak any sound, there is hardly anything...

    Is canned chicken healthy enough to eat every day?

    Tuna - the "chunk light" type, is relatively immature fish so it is lower than mercury. That said, still not good to eat too much since it is a predatory fish. Canned chicken tends to be high in salt so that + dressing could put you over 1000 mg for that meal alone. Besides that, not really a...
