  1. It's not only the shots from Walmart that are bad. They are all useless, with one exception. That exception being "yes whey" it is the only true whey protein shot. All of the others use collagen/gelatin as their primary source and then add a tiny amount of whey so if they are sued they can claim that their product does contain "some" whey. Collagen aka Gelatin is a protein that is derived primarily from scraping the cow hide. It cannot be digested by the human body and therefore ends up being left behind in the bathroom. To give you an idea how bad collagen is I'll talk a bit about the PDCAAS (protein digestibility corrected amino acid score) The PDCAAS is the newest scoring method for anylizing the effectiveness of protein to the human body. The scores on this test can range from 0.000 to 1.000 Whey Proteins score a 1.000 the are a complete protein source & are completely bioavailable. Collagen/Gelatin scores a 0.086 and is consistantly the absolute bottom of the list of all tested proteins. And then the PER (protein efficiency rating). Collagen is so bad that it cannot even be measured on this scale. Why do supplement companies use this? It is as simple as following the money. Collagen is plentiful & very cheap. They can claim their product contains massive amounts of protein even though virtually none of it is usable by the human body. How can they get away with that? Unfortunately the FDA does not regulate the supplement industry. If these items were considered a food or a drug they would fall under FDA regulation an like any food or drug that contains large amounts collagen/gelatin they would be required to post a notice on their label that reads "Not a significant source of protein".

    Thoughts on apples..... Natural sugar is 28 grams....

    Apples contain enough Fiber to offset the sugar contained in them. It's one of the better fruit options. Apples = good Apple juice = bad
  3. WoW, how did I mid this thread. I'm a Tennessee born, Texas raised, Missourian now. Currently residing about 6 miles northwest of Springfield.
  4. Congrats & welcome the Dark Side. BTW, we lied about the Cookies. Well let's see here. The first question I have is how much liquid are you getting in in a day? You're first priority is to get at least 64oz of some type of liquid. This is before you even consider adding Protein. If you can accomplish this then by all means lets add protein to it. Unfortunately I do have some bad news for you. Those protein shots that Walmart sells are completely useless & should not be counted in your daily protein consumption. I understand that they say Whey on the label, but look at the ingredients. They are mostly collagen/gelatin. If you want a protein shot, the only real whey protein shot I am aware of us "Yes Whey" and the only sources that I know of are online. As for the 1.5oz per 15 min rule, I believe that to be more of a guideline. I never experienced any liquid restriction and could drink a 23oz bottle of Water in under 15min right from the start. Don't get me wrong, im not suggesting you try to consume that quickly, but liquids do pass from the stomach very quickly and as long as you are not guzzling it, I believe you'd be fine to experiment with sipping a bit more often.

    Understanding why might help. Check this video out.
  7. Well, I can say that losing does not make me feel less masculine. Of course there are some differences here. I am considerably shorter (5'6") at my healthiest I was 155lbs walking weight & 145 fighting weight (I was a wrestler). I've also had a few years of a few different martial arts. I am by no means proficient at any of them. I have so far lost 100lbs, I feel faster again. I may not have the one swing knock out punch I did at almost 300lbs, but I can move. I can connect multiple times in the time it took me before to throw the one death punch. If you've always been the "Big Guy" I can see where these advantages might not be apparent. But believe me, learn to use your new found append & agility. It more thathan makes up for a few lbs lost. Also another advantage. Being smaller, youy opponent tends to underestimate your ability most of the time.

  10. You fly into San Diego, are picked up by a van and taken to TJ Mexico where the surgery is performed. Then after a few days you are returned to the San Diego airport.

    Why do we candy coat everything?

    I'm sorry, but lately I am just getting annoyed with how we are trying to make everything sound less offensive. And the result is that As a whole we all become hypersensitive and lose ownership of our actions and the result. The last straw for this to me was the recent "Sandy Hook school shootings". WTF, why don't we ca it what it really is? It was the "Sandy Hook Massacre". And the guy that killed all those people was not a "shooter" he was a murderer, or a lunatic, or a monster. Shooters are hunters & recreational target shooters. Now that I've gotten that off my chest I'm going to bring it a bit closer to home. I've been guilty of calling myself a "foodie". In reality, it's not that cute. I am a full blown "food Addict". I ate too much too often and the wrong things. It was not cute, and didn't deserve a cute little term like "foodie". I was murdering myself slowly & painfully. I don't think I'm alone in this.

    Shake questions

    I've reviewed a couple of their shakes. And to be honest, they aren't bad. The quality is there. Where they fall way short is their marketing & their price. It's a MLM system. They cost about 3 times what is would cost you to get all the same benifits on the standard retail market. I really cannot recommend them, not because of the shakes themselves. But because of the "hustle" in the way they marketed. They are good shakes, but will never deliver what they claim.

    Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?

    Are you talking about akin removal like a panniculectomy or the like? Those types of surgeries would be much less expensive. But those aren't cosmetic surgeries. They are considered medical necessities. Lower body lifts & augmentations include a lot of contouring and are much more intricate & invasive surgeries.

    plz post before and after pics ! :)

    I wouldn't mind posting before & current pics to my profile, but at this time it is not possible to do so from a mobile device. I know Alex & his team are in the process of writing custom apps for the forums rather than using the canned ones that we use now. Maybe the custom apps will enable full site usage from mobile devices.

    Anyone Recieved Plastic Surgery In Mexico?

    Actually that's not ever ally unreasonable. It is the higher end of the market but still very much within market range.

  21. Ladies, most gyms do allow members to bring the occasional guest. You might consider checking your gyms guest policies and meet up at alternating gyms as policy allows.
