I've heard olean aka olestra can cause cramping and loose stools.  I think it's only if you eat them in excess so if you can stick to a single serving I think you might be okay. But I try to stay away from products with it in them.

Just saw that you've been reading articles so I'll put a little more input.

  • Nutrition wise: I struggled with this but I aimed for 65% carbs, 20ish% protein, 20ish% fats.  I learned that losing weight was pretty much impossible when I was deep in my training. So I focused more on running and overall fitness
  • Cross-training wise I used the elliptical, bike, row machine, yoga, sports (volleyball, ultimate frisbee)
  • I tried to do 2 weight training sessions a week
  • I use sports drinks/gels on any runs over 13 miles but you should experiment with this...everyone is different and can react differently
  • My time was 4:32 (it was my first and I ran into GI issues) Next one I'm aiming for definitely under 4:30

Poor kid.  I have a male friend who has female mannerisms because his Mom really wanted a girl and so she raised him and dressed him up in girls clothing.  When I first met him I assumed he was gay and continued thinking that for almost a year.  I know it was wrong of me to assume, but then I found out the back story and was horrified.  He's been seeking counseling and has been fighting it ever since High School.  He's now a senior in college and very outspoken about it all and really struggles with resenting his Mom.  

I don't think you should use a human being just to make a statement.  I'm curious to find out who sought out who.  Did the parents seek out the media? 

Fitness Warrior Dash in Minimalist Shoes? Dec 30 2011

I wouldn't run in them because of the no-ankle support factor.  I've done the Warrior Dash and Mud Run and I wore my older running shoes because I knew they'd be covered in mud after and my shoes were reaching their end.  They had a huge mountain of shoes afterwards where you tie your shoes together and throw them in the pile to donate.

The Warrior Dash's obstacles aren't too difficult compared to the Mud Run. but it does require a lot of climbing, mud, and crawling around.  If you do wear them PLEASE be careful @ the tires...a girl snapped her ankle next to me during that obstacle because she lost her footing.  

Warrior Dash's are tons of fun and I think it's great that you're going to sign up.  If your vibrams give you enough protection to be climbing ropes, jumping over boards, and such you should be fine but just be careful and don't be upset when they are all covered in mud after.
