    The funny thing about that photo is the puny amount of lettuce at the bottom.

    Food molecules and their affect on weight loss

    I'm on neither side. I'm on the side of truth. It's not in my nature to accept anything any one tells me, or anything I read, or watch, as the truth, without investigating it and pulling it apart. I will only take sides once I am certain that the claim has proven incontrovertibly correct and is...

    Food molecules and their affect on weight loss

    A few emotional replies here. The article also mentions that the individual needs to take responsibility for their choices. This is why fat fucks with excuses piss me off, they refer to stupid articles like this and claim it's not their fault they're fat....if you're fat, eat a bit...

    How do you measure your body fat?

    My scale has hand sensors and foot pad sensors. How it can measure skeletal muscle and visceral fat mystifies me. About 8 years ago, I experimented with a trainer to see if one would teach me anything new, and he showed up on the first day with a floor scale and took my measurements. I count...

    Food molecules and their affect on weight loss

    There is an interesting article in the 3 August edition of New Scientist magazine, about how molecules affect the brain and metabolism. The research into this field may herald a new approach into addressing diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and some cancers, which can be related...

    How do you measure your body fat?

    I'm interested to see how you measure your body fat and whether you believe the method or device you use is accurate. I have a bathroom scale which has a read-out for BMI, visceral fat, overall body fat, skeletal muscle mass, and overall body weight. I don't know how accurate it is, so I'd like...

    Everyone's a comedian :D I was wondering how long it would take for the Uranus reference to appear. For that comment, I banish you to a steam room with two bikini models.

    Other hobbies and passions?

    Hi Test*E. Enceladus is one of Saturn's moons. It's possible that it supports simple life forms. Enceladus has an ice covered surface hiding a liquid interior. Due to it's close proximity to Saturn, the gravitational forces cause a flexing affect which generates internal heat. Where there is...

    Other hobbies and passions?

    My main hobby is my modified car, which I drive to work every day. Other hobbies are: Relaxing while building scale models of planes and tanks. I've been doing this since I was a kid. It taught me patience and attention to detail. Astronomy (you may have guessed that from my forum name)...

    What do you do for a crust?

    Occupation: Enterprise System Manger Enjoy it?: Yes, but it's stressful, demanding, and frustrating at times. Prior job: IT infrastructure project manager for the federal govt (short term contract). The future?: No idea. If I don't get retrenched, then I'll probably be where I am now.

    What keeps you motivated?

    Avoid thinking about doing a workout, or eating right, or resting. Thinking about something you want to do can invite doubt followed by procrastination, and that can lead to skipping workouts, skipping meals, and so on. This is extremely hard to do, and will take some practice, but try not to...

    Binge eating - men

    Is your husband taking the kids to Macca's as the sole purpose of the journey, or is he dropping in to Macca's as part of the day out with the kids? If it is the former, i.e. going out with the explicit goal to get fast food and taking the kids (leaving you at home?), then that indicates to me...

    Completely lost the plot

    I want to go to the gym quite badly, but when I get there, or get in the car to go, I don't move. If zombie mode doesn't work, then I don't push. I think my brain and body expect to go, but the mind has other ideas. I haven't meditated for a couple of months, so maybe it's time to relink mind...

    Completely lost the plot

    Burying family members and friends is nothing new, so it's not that. Not mid life crisis either :) I don't have a problem with aging and death. Maybe I'm stuck in a rut. 6 years of refraining from drink and blue smoke, and concentrating on a clean diet, may be unsustainable. I could have found...

    Is this normal? Hmmmm.....it's a new experience for me. I thought I'd never go back to my old habits, especially after being "good" for so long.

    Completely lost the plot

    I have no answer to this, but I have completely lost the plot! I did two days in the gym this week, and that was the most I've done for a month. I used to hit the gym 4 afternoons a week without fail and loved it. I don't know what happened. Everything just stopped all of a sudden after a solid...
