I don't think it would be a pretty sight if a woman has rippling muscles. I've seen a woman once who is excessively muscular and it made her body look terribly out of proportion. :shock: Also, there is one guy whom I noticed seeing around campus, who is absurdly muscular and he is only about 5'4" if...

That is a very interesting article sunpungi. "The consumption of fructose has increased, largely because of an increased consumption of soft drinks and many other beverages that are high in fructose and because of the consumption of foods such as breakfast cereals, baked goods, condiments, and prepa...

But, the more fat I eat, the more fruits I want to eat.

CurlyGirl :D You are right in saying that emotional health is the key to good health. In fact, I am among the examples of people who developed diseases through poor emotional health. One of the primary cause to my condition was due to the depression and pent-up emotion that I had since in my early t...

I'm picturing.....RRM balancing it on his head while cycling.....

Oh I've been watching too many Cirque Du Soleil shows! No offence RRM!

Nitrite + proteins (from meat) {under acidic condition:stomach acids}-----> nitrosamines (carcinogenic) Another thing to note is that nitrites will react with the haemoglobins from the meat's blood and form a pinkish colourization which is why sausages/weiners/frankfurters, meatloaf, ham...etc are p...

John, Proteins (and many other molecular elements and compounds in the meat) are denatured at non optimum temperatures (freezing/heating). As we all know, heating foods (non raw) brings diseases when one consumes it, in a long run. Freezing is like heating in that there is a change the molecular str...

I forgot to mention. I'm doing this diet for good health not for acne prevention.

Hello John :) Fruits, egg yolks and fish is what I eat and most of us here eat too. It has been, by far,the perfect combination for me. I just don't consume nuts because they make my skin breakout. To figure out what would be the best staple for you requires experimentation with what you eat. As eve...

Thank you very much for the info Saiva! :D I really appreciate the explanation coming from someone who is experiencing it first hand. I've read about the hazards on radioactivity and how the people suffered from it in the news but it is even more invigorating reading it directly from you. I was just...

Cesium - A radioactive isotope (Cs - 137) from the Tjernobyl accident

Wow Saiva That is sad! Even after 20 years the aftermath of Chernobyl still lives... are other crops/plants affected too?

Very true Thomas! Strawberries that you get from the supermarket are tasteless and they are surprisingly the size of my fist! Forest strawberries are tiny and they taste heavenly. Strawberries that are sold commercially have been genetically engineered to look more appealing to the consumers but the...

You are very welcome Corrinne! I hope you'll overcome your cravings for olives and cheese for good.You can do it! :wink: I could eat about 500 calories extra every day for the duration of my period, and not put on any weight That's GOOD news CurlyGirl! :D I could see from your other post that you've...

Corrinne :D I still do have cravings even still after being 100% for 4 months now. They are even stronger when I am nearing the start of my cycle. The cravings will not cease if you don't stop eating them. But when you do, your cravings gets stronger but luckily, they WILL eventually fade away in 4-...

Amber :D Thank you for the recommendation, but again unfortunately, nuts even deshelling by hand, makes me breakout! :cry: It's funny how my ultimate favourite foods make me breakout: Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts and Dates. :( Nick :) I love both the sashimi and yolks. They both taste wonderful! But ...
