    Met Bill Nye Today...

    Just want to chime in and say that this is awesome. Bill Nye is one of the leading people that caused me to question everything. Sure the result of that is being treated like a devil worshiper at times, but it's worth it. Critical thinking is the only way to get through life and he's one of the...

    Organic or "regular" meat?

    Fair enough. I, however, don't base any opinion off of PETA. In fact I don't really like their stance on just about anything. The way I look at it is it doesn't hurt to buy organic in order to avoid the steroids, antibiotics, and all of the stuff that they pump in cows and chickens. If...

    Organic or "regular" meat?

    When I was broke and living check to check, I'd buy whatever I could afford. Now that I'm on my feet again, I try and buy organic if I have the option. After watching a few documentaries about the food industry, I cringe every time I think of cows standing knee high in their own poop. :-X

    Help dressing a short/chubby male body type

    Again, the problem is that he's wearing clothes that don't fit him because he is lacking any confidence at all, in most cases. He doesn't dress like a bum because he doesn't care, it's because he feels insecure wearing a shirt that actually fits him instead of one that drapes him and covers up...

    Help dressing a short/chubby male body type

    I think we're agreeing here. Obviously common sense would tell anyone not to wear suit to Applebee's! Haha. I'd be put off by that too! Same goes for a dive bar. I'm not one to go to an Applebee's or a Dive Bar (rarely), so I wasn't really thinking of that. I should have been more clear...

    Help dressing a short/chubby male body type

    This advice is pretty much well known. Read a book about building confidence as a male. They will say you have to fake it til you make it. They will also say that if you're a bigger guy you have to dress nicer than the average guys. It's just how it works. What's wrong with wearing a suit to a...

    Help dressing a short/chubby male body type

    The main thing bigger guys should do is dress nicer than the average person. It means spending more money, but it will pay off. Let me explain. If you are well built, tall, and handsome, you can get by with a thrift store t-shirt and an okay pair of jeans with some nice kicks. You're gonna...

    What would be expected from you?

    My parents wold help me if they had the money. I wouldn't let them though. I am too stubborn. Who is to say they can afford to help? Who knows what kind of debt they might hold? They could be paying off credit cards, be upside down in their mortgage, or be paying on some medical bills. It's...

    Weight Loss/Healthy Living

    This times one million. Fat is good! The right kinds of fat that is. I was on a high fat diet for a short time and lost about 6-10 pounds (I can't remember specifically.) Obviously this doesn't mean to go and eat all sorts of fatty foods but when you do eat food that has healthy fat in it, you...

    Fun snacks for a one year old?

    I saw a really fun thing on the news today. You make fruit nachos. Take some pita bread and crisp it in the oven. Shave some coconut so it looks like cheese, cut some watermelon so it looks like tomatoes, blue berries are olives, pureed strawberries are salsa, etc. You can get creative. Then...

    This is exactly what I missed about owning a dog

    I had a pretty bad day at work. I work in a hotel so I deal with a lost of guests. It's a busy time of year and people were exceptionally bitter. On top of that, the day kind of dragged and dragged. My day was pretty bad. Then I arrived at my house. Guess what? Loki was there with her tail...

    Need some fitness ideas

    My girlfriend lost 11 inches off of her stomach but didn't gain or lose any weight. Well, she actually lost about 6 pounds total. She did it by eating right (consuming less than she burns) and lifting weights. Literally no cardio. She didn't get all manly or anything, but she did do a solid...

    Breakfast

    I eat breakfast every day, even when I'm not eating 100% healthy. I make 3 eggs, 3 strips of turkey bacon or 2 piece of turkey sausage, a half cup of oatmeal, mixed with about 3 strawberries, and a quarter cup of blue berries. The oatmeal is mixed with half water half skim milk. I look forward...

    http://stubbydog.org/2011/12/top-10-reasons-why-you-cant-trust-pit-bulls/ I must say, after owning one for a month (and earlier in my life as well) this is so true! :D

    Has anyone ever quit Smoking using the Allen Carr method?

    My mom did. She was explaining that his book was nice because it doesn't tell you to quit smoking right away. It pretty much has you read as a lot of myths are debunked about smoking. Then you get to a point where you think "That's it! I'm done!" and you actually want to quit. It's almost like a...

    Low Carb Facebook Group

    Hey now, you can say what you want, but I'm not determined to troll anyone. I post my thoughts and sometimes people disagree. It's okay. I respect you all and I feel like I've had some pretty good threads since I started, but say what you will.

    Low Carb Facebook Group

    Your body stagnates after a while on a low/no carb diet. The reason for loading is to cause an insulin spike and cause your body to keep the fat burning process efficient. I didn't do it in spite of it. I did it because of it. Also this should be noted that this was only to lose my last 5-7...

    What's an unpopular opinion that you keep secret bc you want to avoid confrontation?

    I agree with that. The argument I always hear is "What if your kid doesn't want to go to school!?" Well, then I have a free savings account! Hello vacation!
