i always assumed that it was better to jog in cold weather, but i could be wrong. my reasoning: in colder weather, your body has to work more (i.e. use up more energy) to reach homeostasis. |

| Weight Loss | a former binge eater rants about how food always has to be an issue | Jun 06 2008 19:56 (UTC) |

while we're all in a ranting mood: i'm in college right now, a few hundred miles away from my family. i grew up like a fatty and i think most of it has to do with the food selection at home: cheetoes, oreos, pizza rolls, instant ramen, etc. my parents would work a lot, so my brothers and i had to rely on the microwave for the majority of our meals. once i got up to college, i became exposed to the concept of ORGANIC FOOD. my acknowledgment was inevitable: "to hell with that," i had thought initially. "i'd like me some of them doriiiiiitooos." it wasn't until i moved into a house with 40 women that i had decided to change my dieting ways. long story short, i'm now a freaking vegan. when i go back home, family members and friends always comment about how much weight i've lost. "are you eating up there? do you have enough food up there?" yeah dude, you don't see me all shriveled up and dead, do you? they always think i'm an anorexic or something. when i go to family gatherings, my uncles and aunts react the same way. they always tell me that i've become "too skinny" (i'm not - i'm about 5'4" @ 145, still trying to lose weight) and that i should eat more. they see the food i decide to eat and announce that i'm "STILL dieting." it's not a freaking diet, dudes. it's the way i eat now. |

| Fitness | large hips... | Jun 05 2008 18:19 (UTC) |

there's no way that you can target an area for fat loss. however, for a big hip/thigh region, you should try lifting weights - go for squats, lunges, deadlifts and the leg press. i recommend high weights, low reps; this might sound intimidating at first, but remember that you are trying to build muscle in these areas and in order to gain power, you need high weights. if you don't feel like you're struggling, you need to up the weight. also, STAY AWAY from the hip abductor/adductor machines. they work the inside and outside region of your hips/thighs, making the lower body region look wider from the front. this is the opposite of what you want. remember this: the leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body. increasing strength in that region will insanely boost your metabolism and the fat will shed away. |

| Foods | Popped Popcorn - Question | Jun 05 2008 18:04 (UTC) |

also, popcorn becomes a junk food when paired with all of that butter and salt, i.e. microwavable popcorn. for the maximum benefits of popcorn as a healthy snack, try eating it air-popped with a light topping (like nutritional yeast). |

| Weight Loss | How Did I Gain 2 Pounds in One Day? | Jun 05 2008 18:01 (UTC) |

agreed - it's most likely water weight. try weighing yourself in the morning when you haven't put anything in your body yet. |

also, lifting high reps and low weights is practically useless: "Unfortunately, most bodybuilders and powerlifters perform far too many sets and reps. When you lift with high sets and high reps, you are asking for trouble. Such training does at times produce a large amount of muscle mass, especially in steroid users, but the mass never develops in proportion to strength, and muscle without strength is nothing but a joke. As for drug-free lifters, high -set, high-rep training can wreak on cortisol level, which is definitely not what you want if you plan on ever putting an ounce of muscle on your frame." |
