Diet and Exercise 2014: I Want It Now

Re: Diet and Exercise 2014: I Want It Now

I'm hoping to start back up again on Monday.

I got injured pretty bad in a soccer game and my hand was completely blown up. I can't put a lot of weight on it laterally across the wrist (and perpendicular to the arm) but I'm 100% when parallel to the arm.

Even cardio discs in the p90x series were difficult due to the bouncing of the hand even heavily braced.

I feel like I'm starting all over but I've at least kept off 10 I had lost so far.

Took up running for the first time in my life around the 4th...

Have to say that I like it quite a bit more than I would have ever guessed. For one thing, it actually makes a difference in my weight and we have a prairie/nature area adjacent to my hood and I can run out in the country - hills and **** - which is nice.

Do 3-5 miles about three times a week which supplements my 2 times a week hockey and (now) sporadic biking. I've seen 182.5 but am sitting around 185. Gotta get that baseline to 180 and will probably be satisfied.

Down from 207 about 6 months ago. **** off fat - I win.

If you're s****ing off the fat, is that like a laxative thing?

I'm down 84lbs since February 18, having seen my rate of loss go a bit flat on the line graph these past few weeks. I weighed in at 274 on Saturday.

For my lunch breaks, I'm mostly going for walks downtown. From my office building, I walk north to cross the river, either the Hennepin or 3rd Ave bridge, walk the path along the river to the other bridge, and then back to my office. It's a 2.43 mile route, and I'm doing it in 40-45 minutes. The route is great for downtown because once I get to the bridge, I don't have to wait for a light until I'm at the end of the other bridge. I would love to see what my route time would be if I were walking that same route without the traffic; I figure that I lose about three minutes waiting at intersections.

You should know better than to ask that of her. She's only ever on here when she's clearly stoned off her a**.

Parents of autistic kids are almost certainly the last people I would go to for information on what causes autism. Too much emotion involved and a lot of really bad information coming from that community over the years. I'm just skeptical. They may understand it much, much better than any other person, but I think I struggle with their understanding compared to the medical community.

Regarding your other point, I think the fact that I am a chem e and chem double major makes me less susceptible to the hysteria around most of these things. Because we tend not to get riled up when we see a "chemical" that is supposedly going to kill you but when you read the science behind it, it only happens in a lab setting with mice being giving tens of thousands of times the doses the average human would consume in a year.

Maybe science is catching up to the parents observations

Could be. But I'd reread the last few sentences before the pay wall kicks in.

Re: Diet and Exercise 2014: I Want It Now

fascinating article. Having dealt with a number of autistic/on the spectrum kids I had a question that they didn't directly mention. Many of these kids have significant sensory issues that make feeding them a normal diet very difficult. They will refuse certain foods or if forced will even gag or vomit. If they are born with a predisposition for a messed up gut then does the microbiome cause sx to perpetuate the dysbiosis? As I said, truly fascinating!

Very little is known about the function of bacteria in our bodies. They out number our bodies cells something like 100 to 1. As someone who has used diet(to change my microbiome) to battle an autoimmune disorder I'm convinced they are heading in the right direction looking at the function of bacteria in our guts. But its just observation at this point, hopefully it will be more than that in the future.

You mean 10-1?

Yes, my mistake, its 10 to 1

I have a friend who specializes in 'GI health'. She used to be my student and has far outstripped me in knowledge. She treats this stuff for a living. I send people to her all the time. SOme patients it dramatically changes their life. Others- nothing happens, even when when they are fanatically faithful to dietary changes and supplements. Even tho she is doing this for yrs she can't explain why sometimes it works and other times it doesn't
