Foods Nutrition Facts Question Sep 15 2008

In my experience, Calorie Count is rarely ever right about the nutrition facts of the the foods that I eat.

As another resource, I use nutritiondata.com. This website is amazing because it gives you an in depth analysis on the food you're eating. the quality of your protein and amino acids, it tells you the types of carbohydrates in the food, and how good the food is for weight loss.

Somewhere like 23? haha.. You don't even know how many, but it's somehwere around 23, how virtuous! I can tell your wedding dress won't be white.

Interesting links, but bad and disparaging way to present them. You actually broke one of the forum rules, but who cares.

However, some links are irrelevant to the topic of this thread.

In the first link, the conclusion that attitudes towards overweight people are better today than years ago was based on a survey. Later in the article there are criticisms, the results could reflect the PC attitudes of the respondents than actual reflecting their preferences.

"Others argue that people are merely becoming more politically correct and that bias against fat people is actually growing sharper."

"These studies don't pick up on implicit, unconscious bias," said Kelly Brownell, head of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University."

"It's like if you asked people around the country if they had racial bias. There's a difference between what people say and what actually happens," Brownell said."

Other criticisms are that the majority of the respondents were probably overweight, and therefore bias.

Then the article goes on with another study on how men can be rated less attractive when standing next to an overweight woman. So we live in a society where everyone is getting fatter, but fat is stigmatized, how ironic.

I'm doing a poll on another forum about men's sexual preferences concerning weight, and I'll share the results later. If anyone visits other forums where the people are not sanctioned for expressing ideas such as this here and people are not sanctioned for their aesthetic preferences, then by all means start polls on other forums.

This can be a very fascinating issue when not plagued with constant terrorist attacks.

Could be your genetics, people store fat more so in some body parts than others, so you may not see a loss in certain places as much as others—it's called fat distribution. Also, your fat has been reduced from your overall body starting from your head to the feet, so a loss of ten pounds from all your whole body may not make that much of a difference if you have a lot to lose.

You can also consider visceral fat loss. Visceral fat is the fat around your organs, which can decrease from dieting, but won't make that much of a  difference in measurements.

Buy a skin caliper to measure your body fat percentage, and measure the circumference of your hips, waist, upper arms, and thighs along with your weight. Then you can tell where that fat loss if affecting you the most, and see if you actually are losing fat.

Andi-Joe believes this thread is blatantly sexist towards women, so she produces sexist jokes against men to reverse the role to expose the so-called hypocrisy.

However, the sexism she sees in the thread is a subjective interpretation in her mind, and therefore her behavior has no justification. But because of bias and misandry being the norm in the mainstream, she will not be reproved for her behavior.

Andie-Joe...that's unequivocally sexist and blatantly guilty of misandry, but this website and society in general seems to tolerate this sort of behavior against men.

What this thread has taught me is that women can misbehave as badly as they want on this website and no one will rebuke their bad behavior. Culpability is obviously left for the males that are provoked into losing their temper which is understandable considering the aggressive and cruel factions on this website, then the men can be reported as the women walk away pretending to be the victim of something they provoked.

Men are the minority on this website, and I guess because of that must be treated with disrespect and hostility until they conform to the majority's opinion.

Thanks for exposing the hypocrisy, Andi-joe, I hope to see you in other threads because no one will reprove you.

I don't see how Caloricat took all the abuse, any normal man would have lost his temper around post 150. You have a cool cat to not react to all that provocation.

The 1-10 scale to women is like a crucifix to vampires and Kryptonite to Superman. haha..

As for me, the lowest I ever went was a 4, and that wasn't a relationship, but a one nighter that involved alcohol. Haha.. it always involves alcohol.

A better measure of attraction is the physiological response. The more reactive on a physiological basis a man is, the more attractive the woman. Signs such as Heart beating fast,  sweating, nervousness, muscle rigidity. Basically the stuff that happens when you;re afraid, but you're in the presence of a very beautiful woman.

Maybe if guys here were more aware of these signs, then they could get past the conditioning and self deception and understand their own attraction.

I like the cultural and historical argument of beauty, fat women were once beautiful in history and are beautiful in some cultures today. I guess the Venus De Milo or Aphrodite are good historical examples?

Haha...Yeah, a calorie count Pageant is a bad idea! After seeing Jesus get crucified here, I mean caloricat.

The 1-10 scale is very popular amongst men, I'm not going to say,"Hey you! You're a 5!" on here, but the point of the scale is that men can still find women attractive, even though she is not his dream girl or hardly close to his Dream Girl.

Even though when I am dating a girl that is a 7 or 8, I still fantasize about the 10's in secret.

This thread has caused me to reflect a lot of this issue, I'm going to write a pop up book on it.

Anyways, I think it's time to introduce one of the greatest inventions in history. And yes, it just happens to be an invention created by men. I now introduce the 1-10 scale— A scale designed to rank different degrees of attractiveness.

LMAO, I have to agree CC 100%. He knows the ways of man.

I painted a grim picture of MAN in my first post, and nobody said a word, nobody defended MEN, but somebody attacked me for being cruel to women. However, not all men are needy little desperate emotionally reactive beta males that get angry and call women twenty times a day. "I NEED YOU BABY! I'm DRUNK AGAIN! YES! I want to sing you a Backstreet Boys song and confess my love!"

A lot of them are beta males, however. That makes those few rare alpha males and players much more attractive and very high in demand. These guys have a LOT of options with women, Donald Trump is one example. These guys get what they want and do not have to settle. Men, just like women, want it all, they want the hot body, the brains, and the personality, and some guys will get all of that when they have a lot of options.

One way to get women like this is to just have standards and be stoic. I'm a man, I'm in control of my emotions, and I won't let my emotions make me settle for some woman that has a bad attitude, is mean and bitter, and provokes fights. I see a lot of guys who are unhappy in their relationships, they don't like their wife or girlfriend, but they're "Afraid to be alone, and admit the women have the power in the game."

I wouldn't call it settling, I would call it the flexibility. Men can genuinely develop love towards most women given the right circumstances, that is life and that is how life procreates itself. Despite what everyone says, most of us have more things in common than we are lead to believe. So for man loving someone else he did not choose initially isn't that great of a leap. All forms of life essentially employ the same genetic code, differences between organisms are differences in the arrangement of nucleotides. The genetic code is universal, bacterial cells can be used to produce human hormones if programed with the correct DNA sequence.

Women don't get every guy they want either. A lot of people believe in destiny, serendipity, romance when it comes to finding a love, it's almost like a phobia of seeing the animal in ourselves.

People tend to suppress and forget about the person they couldn't have, and then move on to someone else—forgetting seems to support their world view that we are more noble than animals and true love does exist. Or if you're a true stagnant romantic, you won't forget about that person, but always hold their image close to your heart "thinking" that destiny will bring the two of you together eventually. haha...

I'm an unconscious romantic, I still have dreams, some type of wish fulfillment, but nothing on a conscious level anymore.

Weight Loss Time for Sugar? Sep 10 2008
10:06 (UTC)
1

The best time is after you exercise. Eat a piece of fruit with a lot of sugar in it such as a banana.

After you exercise, your body may be depleted of blood glucose and glycogen, so you need to restore your body's sugar levels to avoid symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemic) and prevent any Gluconeogenesis (breaking down of Lean muscle tissue to provide the body energy).

But just avoid added sugar (table sugar, brown sugar, etc...) all day. Added sugar will spike your blood glucose levels causing your pancreas to overwork from an overproduction of insulin, this can create a lot of sugar cravings.

Most of your carbohydrate consumption should come from starches—veggies, legumes, and whole grains. Fruits are also good because of their anti-oxidant and nutrient content, and fruits are low on the Gylcemic Index.

How could you not like sex, it's one of the most intense pleasurable things a human can experience.

You come home from work, meet your love, and look deep into each others eyes and smile, the look is piercing, intense , yet seductive. You feel the warmth and positivity of your love's smile penetrate your soul and erase all of the daily stresses—your worries and thoughts melt away—everything is fleeting, you feel so at peace, you feel drowsy. Everything just melts away—you're totally free.

You embrace your love and your love embraces you, both of you hug each other tightly, you smell each others' scent on your neck and it creates this inner and deep craving inside you. The smell is irresistible, and your love sniffs your neck and lightly kisses your neck leaving goose bumps on your skin. You hug each other even tighter wanting to get closer and closer to one another, but it just seems impossible.

You then begin to kiss each other, but just lightly, you feel fingertips on the back of your arms creating a slightly ticklish sensation, but also an overwhelming pleasurable sensation. Your heart beats faster, the room feels hotter, your clothes feel as if they are restricting your body—your excitement begins building and building.

Something takes control of you, and you both begin making out heavily, sucking on each others lips, you feel the warmth of each others lips pressed against one another and it enthralls you. Your love begins kissing your neck while you breathe heavier and heavier. You feel this hot sensation in your chest, and it begins growing stronger and stronger—swelling with each kiss. You can't take it, you have to get closer and closer to one another. You run your hands through each others hair while moaning and panting loudly.

This feeling is unbearable, it keeps getting hotter, your heart is beating so fast, you're ravenous, your head is light. You have this rush and it keeps swelling, it's like being on the most incredible ride you've ever been on, but once you get off, you get back on again and again! You're panting so badly and grasping each other so tightly that you're going to explode. You have this a longing tension that needs a release! 

Then someone says,"I got an A on my spelling test!" and your meeting is adjourned, scheduled for a later date. haha..

HSDD. Early stages of sexual aversion. Classically conditioned to associate negative emotions, attitudes, and thoughts with sex. Some traumatic event may be repressed, and you have to ......nevermind. FREUD, John B. Watson, and Skinner all in a CAN, yall!

Fear of pregnancy, history of sexual abuse, parents' negative views on sex, hormonal problems (modeling), unknown causes. I need to check my DSM-IV tr to make a proper diagnosis.

Haha... no.  Boys mature faster in the "I think sex is GREAT!" sense or develop positive attitudes towards it whilst girls mature faster in social skills and physiological puberty. I thought sex was weird and disgusting when I was eight years old, but at 12 it became was the motivation behind every breath.

A socioloigical view that can explain female aversion to sex is the Madonna Vs. Whore complex.

One peanut butter (2 tablespoons) and banana sandwich on whole grain bread with a glass of skim milk is about 800 calories. I can eat a few of those pretty easily, that racks up to 3,000 calories pretty easily.

Cereal is also good for getting in calories. Use about 3 cups of cereal, and two cups of milk and you have nearly a 1,000 calories.

Sorry this is a bit off-topic but... Are you sure? Because:

Peanut butter (50-100 cals?) + 2 slices of bread (170 cals) + 1 banana (110), 1 cup milk (90) =400-500 calories.

3 cups cereal (300-500 cals) + 2 cups milk (180) =480-680 cals.

Sorry but I just have to know how could you make a PB-banana sandwich 800 calories...

 

Haha. I use 4 tablespoons of peanut butter actually. I use JIF, not some organic type of peanut butter. JIF has 190 calories per 2 tablespoons.

The bread I use is called Arnold's Whole Grain Double Protein bread. Two slices amounts to 220 calories.

Most of the time, I use one banana, but I also use two.

I drink one 8 ounce cup of skim milk with it—90 calories.

190 x 2=380 + 220 + 110 + 90=800 calories.

With two bananas, it's 910 calories.

I'm getting mostly Carbs in that, so I have to supplement my protein with Whey protein Powder.

If it's healthy and high calorie, get it. I don't know anything about Ensure.

To get extra calories, i use milk, peanut butter, and high calorie bread. I also add extra toppings on things like cheese extra mayo, and olive oil.

One peanut butter (2 tablespoons) and banana sandwich on whole grain bread with a glass of skim milk is about 800 calories. I can eat a few of those pretty easily, that racks up to 3,000 calories pretty easily.

Cereal is also good for getting in calories. Use about 3 cups of cereal, and two cups of milk and you have nearly a 1,000 calories.

Just type in "high calorie foods" in Google or some other search engine, and it will give you some ideas. Also find Lean sources of protein as well.

Haha... Yeah, it might be true if you weren't smoking hot.

It's animalistic, seems to remove the romance doesn't it. A guy has a crush on a girl or three girls, approaches them, they hate him or they have boyfriends which beautiful women usually do, so he finds the next best thing that will take him. It may not be his initial choice (men don't have much of a choice unless they're players or high value), but he can pair bond, change his perspective, and so forth. He has to fulfill his needs, pain motivates him.

It's not very productive for a species survival to give up and roll over and die after being rejected by the first 100 women he wants to date.

Learn to love and appreciate the cards we were delt in life.

I have the same observations as Caloricat. Virtually ALL of the men I've met including myself have preferred normal to skinny shaped women. Men are more visual when it comes to sexual attraction, and adipose tissue can obscure and taint those divine feminine features that men love so much.

A man that prefers a heavier set woman over a thin or normal weight girl is rare. It happens, but it is rare. As a general rule, this applies to nearly all women, if you're overweight or obese, losing weight will increase your sexual value. Look at hotornot.com, and see what the ratings on obese and overweight are compared to thinner normal women.

One reason a man may not be truthful about his aesthetics concerning women are he fears being Politically incorrect,  or violating social norms. If he expresses his views, he runs the risk of being stigmatized as a sexist, misogynist, or even troll (as I've seen in this thread thus far). These names make men feel guilty, and they can even make him discriminated against and ostracized.

Men using compliments to pickup women is old as humanity itself. One reason why men would hit on a woman that he doesn't prefer is because she is available to him. Men are not choosers, the women are. He assesses his own value and says to himself,"I'm not good enough to have a girl that I prefer since she is in very high demand by a lot of other men that are better than me, so I might as well take the next best thing because I have needs to fulfill. It's difficult enough finding one woman that will date me, I'll take what I can get or be alone for a few more decades."

To most men, women are a very scarce and high value commodity, men feel "lucky" when a woman chooses him.. She picked him, it's like winning the lottery. It's so-called luck because women have a LOT of options, and a lot of men have to be rejected so she can choose one or two—there is a lot of competition. If you live in a  small town where there are only 3 single women and they are all fat, and you're not wealthy enough to leave your small town, you will date a fat woman.

You will also, and this is very important, change your aesthetic. This means you will begin to find bigger women more attractive. One of the reasons is scarcity, and another is that men need to find a woman sexually appealing to carry out mating with her. He also needs this for his Ego, he doesn't want to believe that he had to settle for something of a lesser value, that would mean he was  not as special and valuable as he thought he was. Most of us are very narcissistic, we want to believe that are not inferior limited to inferior choices.

Evolution has equipped us with a conditioned pain response to refusing to pair bond and making love, the so-called pain of loneliness.
