Don't believe that your caloric maintenance is going to drop to some crazy 1200 calories per day, or something.
If you're fat, you're eating quite a bit! A lot of people don't realize how easy it is to inhale 4000+ calories each day. Many people graze and gorge and can't even remember what...
If your metabolism slows due to poor nutrition, and you begin gaining weight, you're no longer eating at a caloric deficit. If you lower your calories, you'll resume weight loss. If you're gaining weight, you're not cutting calories.
People have gone to "extremes" to prove this. Look at...
It is as simple as calories in, calories out. Figuring out the amount of calories you require to maintain your current bodyweight is what is a rough estimate, based on activity leves, muscle mass, fat mass, overall weight, and height.
People on non-restrictive diets like Atkins lose weight...
Laws of Thermodynamics
About metabolism - unless you're talking extreme ends of the scale (literally) or an actual growth problem, metabolic rates don't have extreme variation.
Your metabolic rate + energy expended through physical movement = the amount of energy you need to intake to...
Call me whenever you want. If I'm not awake, the phone sure as hell isn't going to disturb me.
I feel comfortable calling people during the time I am awake, possibly 7am-midnight.
You know that short of murder, the penalty for breaking the laws of the host country ranges from a slap on the wrist, to a small fine, to deportation/extradition, right? :dunno:
This applies to all countries, not just China. The execution van doesn't drive around picking up foreigners for...
As a guest of their country, what personal liberties are being taken away from me, aside from gun ownership?
Everyone knows the US has no crime, too. What are you trying to say?
The longer I stay in the big red country, the more reasons I find to stay.
The only thing that disturbs me is a lack of gun rights. I miss carrying a weapon.
I'm in a "small city" with a population larger than the state of Indiana. I'll be fair, the majority of barbeque I eat here is chuan 串,like kebabs, but most of the flavor and spice is added with a rub. Anything that's brushed on just looks similar to honey with spices, not something I'd...
I know this thread is well intended humor, but I'm actually curious if there is BBQ sauce in China, because I sure haven't seen any since I've been here, and I eat BBQ every day.
It just needs Tapatalk, like mk2ja said.
I'd definitely read and post much more often if I could just use Tapatalk. This is the only forum I read that doesn't use it, now that I think about it.
I only wear one so I'm not inconvenienced by seat belt tickets.
I have to wear a seat belt in the name of safety, but I can ride my 1000cc crotch rocket around in a pair of boxers and you can put 50 kids in a rolling tin can without seat belts?
Sounds like a good way to make some $$$
I'm a Newgroup whore, downloading anywhere from 100-500GB per month.
Why?
To try it out. Newsgroups hit my connection cap, and I can download a game like Skyrim in a matter of minutes. This cannot be said for a demo, if the company even releases one. I purchased a number of games in 2011...
Nature programmed me to have polygamous sex, not raise kids. This world is fubar and I wouldn't dare have a child in it.
Unfortunately the hardest part is finding a doctor that will perform a vasectomy. I'm seriously considering traveling abroad to have it done because every doctor here looks...
