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...

Shouldn't weight classes really be lbs. per inch of height?

Well if height factored into the equation it really wouldn't be a "weight" class any more, would it?

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...

Criticize my nutrition plan...

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...
