The best nutritional information that I've received is that we should strive to eat as natural as possible... usually if it comes in a bag or a box and has ingredients that I can't pronounce, I pass it up. If you want more, you can try reading Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan and What to Eat by Marion Nestle although there are some ideas in there that I disagree with it.Nutritional information isn't very good in this country, and its hard to come by, if not misleading at most times, so even when you think you are using common sense and making the right choices very often you find you are taking in a lot of hidden calories simply because the information you are being provided on what is healthy to eat and what is not is entirely false. Plus there are so many different opinions on what you should eat and what you shouldn't that you don't know what to believe anymore. Its like McDonalds (or any other restaurant) advertising that their salads which contain a package of full fat ranch dressing and extra crispy chicken are healthy because you are eating salad and chicken instead of burgers and fries, when in reality you are still taking in a load of fat and calories from that salad.
Don't even get me started on the food pyramid, doesn't it change constantly so that the food pyramid that was drilled into my head when I was in grade school and high school is not the same as the food pyramid of today? Obviously, this country needs some standards for nutrition, and needs to stop providing false and very misleading info to make people think they are eating healthy and dieting by eating a salad that is loaded with fat and calories!
No way, I've seen everyone do it. Skinny guys, fat guys, even some pretty girls texting while leg pressing.Reality's Fringe;4376066]Also said:I hate hate hate hate hate how 99% of the squat rack users do curls and upright rows with weight you can find on the pre-weighted barbell area. GTFO with that crap.
But on the other hand I love it when I get a rack and do my entire workout there. Squats, DLs, Press, Cleans, Lunges, GMs, RDLs, Shrugs, OH Squats... not all in one session but yeah.
I remember when I was learning to exercise I brought a book with me when I rank on the treadmill. I'm lucky if I even read a page, and I wondered how the hell people can read while running. Then I realized they're all walking real slow.
[quote name='Strell']RF hit on it - it's always the fat middle aged soccer moms doing this. They get on their cell phones while on the elliptical machines, or have a magazine out, or are doing crossword puzzles, all the while going at a pace equivalent to walking at best.
Yea, I can really see the concern. I thought they just classified you under obese... but they can make your Mii look fat when you actually aren't, which is dangerous in a woefully under-educated American society.It calls you fat then it makes your Mii fat and then it does a little crying thing, as if to make you feel more insulted about your weight. I can live with being called fat but I can see how the visual representation of it can harm the emotions, especially in impressionable kids and teens, and when they aren't even fat.
The women in this office crack me up, and yet annoy me. I love coming here twice a week because it's so funny to watch how they act.
I've said it before, they are ALL really fat/ugly/flabby...but it's funny how the fridge is FILLED with SALADS! and SALAD DRESSINGS! and YOGURTS! and GRANOLA! and FRUITS!
Wow!!! what HEALTHY eaters!
This moo-cow was in the breakroom for the last 10 minutes cuttin up strawberries. Ok. That's a neat healthy snack. I look closer as she's getting done (I sit right across from it) and she's pouring sugar all over the strawberries.
But in a "fat discussion", I guess she's considered "trying" because she's "eating fruits". I should go in there and see what salad dressings they have...
In conclusion: Women are fat and stupid.
