    Really? Are you sure you need a lot less calories then 2000? Even sitting on your butt all day? http://www.health-calc.com/die... Being in your mid thirties, ~155 pounds, and sitting or sleeping all day shows a total calorie count of over 2000.

  4. Re:eliminate extra sugar on Hacking Weight Loss: What I Learned Losing 30 Pounds · · Score: 1

    Citation required. There is nothing wrong with sugar. Period. Go put down your Good Calories, Bad Calories book. Nothing wrong with sugar is even more true when it comes from fruit, and is still in its fruit form (aka not processed to something). There is no credible science that says you have to cut out all sugar.

    Bull. There is very little difference between the calories to maintain a pound of fat, and a calorie to maintain a pound of muscle. I forget the exact amount, but is is somewhere around 7 calories a day difference. So losing 10 pounds of body fat, and gaining 10 pounds of muscle might give you a BMR difference of 40 cals a day. Big whoop (in terms of bmr) Please don't quote the 50 cals/day value to me.

    Thank you for bring up some good ol' broscience.

    In fact, it is likely not 2500 cals in 3 hours either. If I used a HRM strap, it would likely be lower then 800/hr, and HRM would still likely overestimate. But mostly I responded as "Plus if you do a little bit more intense exercise than strolling, it's a little more of a factor. I burn around 1000 calories for an hour of running." seemed extremely flippant. There is a pretty large distance between strolling and 16 cal/min exertion which is really only attainable by the highly trained endurance athletes, especially to hold for full hour. That is a pretty small segment of the population.

    I lost 110 pounds during 2012. I have kept it off since then. Its possible.

    I also call bs on that burn rate. I am a Boston Qualifier, and I don't burn that many calories an hour while running. That is a very fast pace.

    I highly doubt you burn 1000 cals/hour running. I run sub 8 minute miles for three hours and will burn 2500 cals.

    Wrong: "There were 52,447 deliberate and 23,237 accidental non-fatal gunshot injuries in the United States during 2000.[4] A small majority of gun-related deaths in the United States are suicides,[5] with 17,352 (55.6%) of the total 31,224 firearm-related deaths in 2007 due to suicide, while 12,632 (40.5%) were homicide deaths.[6] In 2009, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 60% of all homicides in the United States were perpetrated using a firearm.[7]" That's from your proof.

    Conveniently timed just before he was to testify to Congress about the Benghazi attack. Now he doesn't testify. So, within days of Obama being re-elected:
    - Petraeus resigns (he should have to answer questions about Benghazi)
    - Clinton signals she will resign (she should have to answer questions about Benghazi)
    - A drone is shot at by Iran prior to the election

    Except you are wrong. Wikipedia says that only one F117 was ever downed due to enemy fire. The aircraft was detected when its bomb bay doors were open, thus greatly increasing its radar cross section.

    Rumour has it that another F117 was also damaged, but returned to base. So one confirmed combat loss out of how many sorties means that stealth technology is dead? I guess, at least to you it does.

    "Although not all of a BlackBerry's messaging functions are encrypted, RIM has long maintained that it is unable to grant anyone access to its corporate e-mail service, which is encrypted from end-to-end. RIM responded in a statement late on Wednesday, saying it was necessary "to correct some false and misleading" information" that had appeared in the Indian media."

    "RIM is providing an appropriate lawful access solution that enables India's telecom operators to be legally compliant with respect to their BlackBerry consumer traffic, to the same degree as other smartphone providers in India, but this does not extend to secure BlackBerry enterprise communications," the company added."
