It's getting really warm in here. Funny, the weather forecast was for a high of 75.

Adam Baldwin was the main reason I started watching the show "Chuck". And although I do get a kick out of the show for its own sake, he's still the main attraction, as far as I'm concerned.

"It is well documented that males lose faster than females, that younger people lose faster than older people, that menopausal women lose slower than all other groups."

Someone mentioned this earlier and I want to comment.

Don't tell AC because you'll be in for a thrashing. Don't you know it's all calories in, calories out?

My brother has been a cycling enthusiast for over 25 years. He's 50 now. Even so, with hours and hours of cycling he put on weight over the years and gained 60 pounds that no amount of cycling cured.

After 2 years on very strict, induction style Atkins, he's lost the 60 pounds and feels great. And he still cycles because he loves it but knows it wasn't the cycling that helped him lose that weight. It was the diet.

This is anecdotal of one but I believe it's a fundamental truth for most people. I don't believe Atkins or any version of low carb doesn't work for some people. If done right, it works for everyone.

My BIL cycles an insane amount of miles and he has this HUGE gut! Of course, he eats LOTS of "healthy" whole grains. Sheesh.

Default Forget the e-word

Personally I am not fond of the word exercise, it brings back very unfond memories of a competitive and unsupportive time spent in high school gyms, as well as decades of money wasted on fitness machines and fitness club membership fees.
On the other hand, I am a big fan of the word activity, as in moving about instead of being driven about. Walking eight blocks to my bank to make a deposit and eight blocks back home might take half an hour more than driving (and finding parking) but the benefits are immediate - mentally focused, less stressed, blood pressure down, heart rate slightly up.
On a cold and wet autumn evening, with pent up energy and no fun grabbing an umbrella, just stepping up and down on to the living room sofa 50 times can do wonders. (see above for benefits).
Also, though we might wish otherwise, for most people burning fat (Ketosis) does, in order to be really effective, require a bit more activity than just thinking and/or sitting and meditating. It doesn't have to be a major workout (though it can) - just moving about can help kickstart that little fat burner inside of you.

I popped in to see if we had any more pretties to look at, and find cartoon violence instead! eeek!

(Those guys slay me. Good pic, even if less stimulating than, say, half-nekkid men.)
