Also, no shame in community college, even if it means living at home another couple years. Save a ton, get some of your liberal arts classes out of the way, and it essentially buys you a couple more years to figure your stuff out. It’s also a decent litmus test to see if college is for you, without a huge financial…

Holy shit, I wasn’t making a suggestion, as I’ve never flown out of Philly, I was just commenting.

I took up rock climbing(indoor) as my exercise of choice. it works every muscle group, gets my heart racing and makes me use my mind to figure out the correct path up the wall. it helped me lose over 30lbs and i've kept up with it for several years now. gym memberships are expensive(~60$) and gear can be…

Didn't we already determine bacon was the answer?

To give some background here: Uzbekistan recently got eliminated from the Asian Cup by South Korea. Uzbekistan actually had a nice nil-nil tie going into extra time, and then gave up two goals. In the lead up to the match, Russian rags did some hot-takes of how the Uzbek team was much better and how they had a…

eat fat. you'll stay full much longer. you won't be able to eat an excess amount of calories because you're just not gonna be hungry enough to keep on eating.

On topic: For me the big one was audiobooks, I had avoided libraries on the assumption that I would need to deal with returns, and trips. I purchased several audiobook bundles (humble bundle has them every few months), and several books on audible. I then stumbled upon Overdrive (i believe there are other like…

Generally a great article. There is a whole bunch of research showing that exercise is great for health, but not for weight loss.

I thought the comment in re Taubes was a bit misleading, though. I'm ok with the assertion that researchers generally reject his thesis (which is true), but "thoroughly debunked" is a bit…

The writer of this article is dead wrong. about sugar The study quoted debunking insulin and sugar was funded by the sugar industry. Weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. 95% of the diet is directly related to sugar intake. If you reduce sugar you will get thin.

Gonna have to call you on on your Science here. I realize this is your first article here, but this is pretty sloppy.

Nice catch, I missed that part entirely while reading. I personally don't buy whole heartedly into the paleo/primal/anti-carb camp of eating, but I agree that using one link from Guyenet as "wholeheartedly debunked" is a very bad idea. Too many people will take that as fact.

I don't disagree that there are plenty of good ideas in this article, but they are based on the calories in-calories out theory which is becoming more and more debunked every day.

This is so misguided and overly simplified, I don't know where to start. How about the notion that adding muscle increases your resting metabolic rate, thereby burning more calories every second of your existence. Or the fact that a long/extreme/overly consistent caloric deficit will eventually work to kill your…

Wow, that's a pretty bold statement to say that the role of insulin in obesity has been "wholeheartedly debunked"....and based on one article from Guyenet. Guyenet is regularly critiqued by the medical community as he ignores the effect of insulin as receptor for energy transfer — if you assume the body has a linear…

I went the low-carb route. Cut out as much sugar as possible and ate Vegetables, Meat and Saturated Fats. That helped keep me healthy, but the biggest impact for me was intermittent fasting. I'd eat lunch every monday and then not eat until lunch on tuesday. I was able to lose at least 1 lb a week until I'd gone…

dumb article.

Where's the deadspin article calling the pistons out on tanking? especially since SVG can choke on his own dick now that he waived josh smith so they can play the 'younger guys' after publicly calling out the sixers for tanking.
