There was an article in vox a few weeks ago indicating that actually, exercise does hardly anything for weight loss. It’s great for overall health, but as a use to lose weight? Nope. When coupled with calorie restriction, it’s fine, but calorie restriction is the real king. Seems you really can’t outrun your fork.

With food intake being far and away the most important thing. Exercise doesn’t actually do much for weight loss because it doesn’t burn nearly as many calories as people think in proportion to the calories your body is burning anyway and people tend to, whether consciously or not, overcompensate in what they eat…

“If they don’t show a return to normal in metabolism, what hope is there for the rest of us?”

Just for context, this is the process people on the Biggest Loser go through. They consume far fewer calories than are recommended for a human to subsist on and exercise to the point of exhaustion — they basically (yes, voluntarily) spend 5 months being coached into having a severe eating disorder. They lose weight at…

The weight loss was too fast and their diet was probably too extreme as well (I assume they had to lose hundreds of pounds in just a couple of months because it’s being taped on a tight schedule, which is insane.) The best way to lose weight is the old-fashioned way, aerobic exercise three to four times a week…

I’ve noticed the same thing! I mean, I actively avoided Spy because it looked terrible, as just like one big, long fat joke at Melissa McCarthy’s expense and then ended up watching it on a very long plane ride home. It was hilarious and very trope-bending. I’ve extolled it to many people since then and basically now…

It may look like shit, but it seems like you breezed past the rest of the article in your rush to come down here and complain about Jez. The crux is that the proportion of viewers to down voters is outrageously high. So high, that it’s unlikely that people simply font like the trailer. Plus, there’s people building…

This movie KILLED his grandfather! How dare anyone defend it!!

Wow dude you seem really bitter in the comments on this post.

I definitely agree that people go too far. I might be dating myself here, but I knew someone who ran into Val Kilmer in the parking garage of his lawyer’s office as he was going through a divorce. She asked him for his autograph and he wasn’t terribly rude but was a bit brusque and brushed her off without giving her…

A few weeks ago, I read an article by a woman who was a big fan of Matthew Perry. She went to see his play and waited by the stage door to met him. This took hours. When she finally saw him, he rushed past and said he wasn’t signing autographs. She was so disappointed and upset with him. I can understand her feelings…

I feel like the lack of nipple is also something people don’t realize. I too could have had a fifth surgery to “make” a nipple out of something but it didn’t make sense for me. Most mastectomies for actual cancer leave you without a nipple, which the media does not portray.

I was diagnosed at 29 with a tumor large enough that mastectomy was the only option. It’s important for people to know that the razzle-dazzle surgical reconstructions that sometimes are out there in the media (a la Angelina) are most often for people who didn’t have cancer at all (preventative) or didn’t have the full…

Wait, I thought we were all starring in an ongoing adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale?

And just in time for the Ted Cruz theocracy!

How do you know when someone is a vegan?

Err...no? Granted mine are only 4 and just about 7, but we are thankfully past that stage and nobody got hit. Maybe it's just my being raised without the use of spanks, but it would never even cross my mind to smack my kid.

uh. no. not all parents have hit their kids.

God damnit Jodie.

These celebrities doing commercials that used to go to normal actors is a huge pet peeve of mine. Jennifer Garner does not fly using credit card reward miles. Those Jennifee Aniston “oh, I just dreamt I was flying like the poors, how terrible” commercials make me want to throw things and Julia Louis Dreyfus, you are a…
