Actually their real competition is information. Once you realize that no sugary drink is good for you, ever (unless you badly need calories even if devoid of nutrition), you will go to drinking only water. Nice water you purified at home with whatever method makes you feel better about drinking it. Their real enemy is water, the cheap drinks are probably made by the same companies and/or help keep the poor addicted until they can achieve drinking the aspirational products like Coke and Pepsi.
It isn't that drastic, that type of complacent behavior is driven by a "normalcy bias" where we tend not to believe that significant disruption will occur, until it does. Sort of how like people are happy to live in California despite warnings of a coming "big one", because there hasn't been one in a long time. Similarly, a majority of people in Oklahoma don't have storm shelters, send their kids to schools without storm shelters (virtually all schools) despite almost annual tornado landings. In Oklahoma it is because, sure, there are tornadoes but most likely, they won't hit you. I believe we behave this way because a large part of our behavior stems from the ancient parts of our brains and they aren't so good a planning for abstractions. We are much better at immediate events because that is how we managed to get here, by running really fast from lions and other danger.
I think he means he is a One Percenter like the burly guys riding Harleys, not like the ones that have hoarded the most resources. Those One Percenters are probably not up at 9AM either though, so either way he's lying.
It flies effectively but once it hits the ground it moves much like Agrajag did and that is not very gracefully. It also cannot take off again unless picked up and given a throw, I think that the bat that inspired it does not need a human to come by and throw it each time it needs to fly. I guess the use case is that it does a flight mission, lands, then crawls to a hiding spot and dies there while it uploads its data store and waits to be picked up.
Uh, Ahmadinejad was elected, you're not liking his administration's or country's policies doesn't make him a dictator. Out of curiosity do you watch Fox News for something other than a blood pressure boost or comedy relief?

Maybe so, but, it also shows that the standard dietary guidelines are complete garbage doesn't it? I also thought that they probably didn't restrict carbs enough for the high fat diet but I didn't RTFA so I am merely guessing.
Based on your statement, it seems that the normal levels of fat are too high (for weight loss) when coupled with normal/elevated levels of carbs. Seems then that higher levels of fat coupled with lower levels of carbs are better for losing weight (and by extension maintaining weight). Isn't that what the study shows? Why is it that you feel the study does not provide much useful information?
I was making it to you though, mainly as a retort to how cheap and fast hot pockets are. My tone was inflammatory, much more so than necessary, for that I apologize. I agree that cooking and eating healthy are time consuming, I disagree that the hot pocket is a viable (equivalent health-wise) option.
Fat is good for you, it is the bread that is the problem. You didn't catch the part about the 6 egg omelets? Guess what, egg yolks are loaded with fat, which is energy, which is good for you. Not sure why people still have a fat aversion, there is more than ample evidence that the problem is the carbs (now including this new study) that anyone with even a modicum of analytic ability should know that carbs are bad and fat is good.
stop it with the whole grains. Whole grains are still just grains. Maybe with a tiny bit of nutrients and some fiber that the refined don't have but still produce a tremendous glycemic load. The point of the study is that whole grains should be avoided. All carbs should be avoided. Don't attempt to conflate grains with meat and vegetables, they don't belong in the same class of food, that is what the study under discussion meant to separate.
keto is a natural state, you are the moron for not realizing this. Carbs are a modern invention, evolution made us to digest fat, ketones are the preferred energy source for the brain.
Yes, so I avoid sugars of all types, including the ones disguised as carbs. That is kind of the point of a true low-carb diet. Low carb is less than 100 grams or better yet less than 25 grams of carbs per day.
I do it. The hard part isn't the "heavy type foods" to be honest. The hard part is not being able to eat flour quesadillas, for me. On rare occasion I'll crave some kind of bread with butter and jam but then the craving passes. Oily, fatty foods taste good, they are good for you and so eating them is not a burden. I've also started exercising because I want to increase my muscle mass and develop a six-pack.
Breakfast is usually eggs raw or cooked with vegetables and 4 tablespoons of coconut oil. Lunch is meat with olive or coconut oil, spices, salt, etc, and vegetables. Dinner is usually the same as lunch. Note that the above means I eat almost anything as long as it is not a grain. All of the meat is grass-fed, or pastured and the vegetables and oils are organic, virgin.
It is also a bit hard to always turn down certain offers for free food (pizza, beer, sandwiches, etc) but that is more a social problem as I mostly don't desire them.
You're equating the relatively short period of time since the advent of agriculture with the significantly longer period over which we became humans. We actually evolved to eat fat and the grain thing is a fairly recent fad (hopefully one we are now beginning to get over).
These guys are all trained to need carbs, I wonder when they will catch on to the idea of eating fat instead of carbs, chances are their performance would increase tremendously and probably be easier on their metabolism. To go ketogenic (the goal), they would have to cut out virtually all carbs. http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-...
Might want to talk with your mother-in-law's daughter instead as that seems a more germane topic for you given that often the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Assuming you don't want to share a bed and live until the end of time with a 350 lb female with minor T2D.;-)
Don't forget to add in the costs of your eventual quadruple bypass, heart medications, blood thinners, etc after a decade or so of eating like that. How's that time-management argument working for you now? I agree, it is neither cheaper, nor faster on a short timescale but you have to think about life as a marathon and treat your body as if it is the only one you will ever have (which, incidentally, it is).

That would be epic. I would love to see those debates on youtube

Did you mean to say "Faith can ignore logic"? Because that is what you just gave an example of.
yeah! and lets pump all the byproducts from all unregulated coal plants and mines into your house.

That's probably why he posted AC. Wouldn't really want the post tracking back to his job as a paid shill.
Easy solution: don't microwave food. Make your own food, from scratch, use pots and pans to warm it up.
Yeah, like a completely screwed metabolism from your meds. Your non-normal history makes your anecdote useless even as an anecdote.
Maybe so, but, it also shows that the standard dietary guidelines are complete garbage doesn't it? I also thought that they probably didn't restrict carbs enough for the high fat diet but I didn't RTFA so I am merely guessing.
What was the point of starving your body of water? Were you suffering from edema?
