Always maintain correct posture. Bad posture will just give you more problems to deal with. If your back gets tired, make sure you're also using your abs to support your trunk.

Why the emphasis on ab training?

Fish is a great source of protein and healthy fats. I'd be careful not to overdo it, though -- there's been some concern about mercury levels in some fish: http://news.google.com/news?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=tuna+mercury

I agree. I don't think the opposite; I just think that milk protein is digestible. I definitely wouldn't recommend it as a person's primary protein source. Anyway, like you I have no intention of repeating this debate.

You're right that the muscles "get used" to always doing the same workout, but that's irrelevant when you're doing the same workout every day. The main problem in that case is that your muscles never get a chance to heal and get stronger -- you just keep breaking them down and breaking them down and breaking them down and... temptschick, you are overtraining and getting tired is your body's way of letting you know.

I hope you're not working the same muscles every day.

Vanilla really is the best flavor. Chocolate and strawberry are horrible. Those shakes are expensive, though; the least I can find them for is $2.70, and most places it's $4.00. My protein powder + fat-free sugarless jello pudding mix comes to less than $1.00 per 46g of protein, which is *much* better... if money is an issue, that is...

So now you "can't be bothered" to find the studies... that's convenient. You get to say you're right without having to prove anything.

How many people would stop drinking milk if they thought it provided no protein? How many of those people would buy more supplements? Milk is *definitely* a competitor. Umm... and the fact that I posted actual studies, not just random stuff from a web site. Congratulations, you've just show that infants are able to digest butterfat from milk, and milk curdles. That says NOTHING about protein digestibility. There's no money in condemning cigarettes, either, but that doesn't stop people from doing studies. Maybe you just can't find the studies because there AREN'T any. But if there aren't any, then how can you possibly be so sure about your statements? This isn't about whether or not I'll drink milk. It's about getting the facts straight.

By your reasoning, the protein supplement manufacturers should have proven milk protein to be indigestible a long time ago. So where are those studies? So you admit that the articles you posted are absolutely worthless. Some (not all) human adults lack the enzyme to adequately break down lactose, which is the sugar component of milk, not the protein component. Some (not all) human adults have a casein intolerance, but that is a medical condition, not the norm. Good luck with that.

This isn't about me. I do drink milk. But somebody else asked about milk, and they should get a correct answer.

Why don't you stop quoting anti-milk quacks running their mouths, and post an actual STUDY showing the indigestibility of milk protein? This guy is referencing studies done in the 1930s on CATS, for christ's sake. And NONE of his "scientific sources" are referenced.

Very interesting.

In these studies, how did they control for socialization?

I'm not confusing anything. You're claiming that it's biological, and I'm disagreeing. Men can be just as emotional as women, but we're taught not to be. How many men had fathers/friends who told them DON'T BE A PUSSY when they started getting emotional as children? We're taught from an early age that "real men" control their emotions, and "real women" cry at the end of Bambi. By the time we're adults, it's so ingrained in us that it would appear to be biological, but I don't think it is.

I think that men are *taught* to ignore their emotions.

I like to start out with some light fingernail-pulling, then set in gently with the blowtorch to really get her warmed up...

I work out with my SO. It's convenient because we live together, so we're able to help motivate each other to go. I also really like the fact that she's into fitness. I wouldn't want to date a woman who didn't take care of her body as well as her mind.

Do you happen to know how many calories are in your current snacks, and how much was in the bars that you were eating?

I ate hamburgers while I was losing weight. *shrug*

What did you replace them with?

I don't know, but why are you rolling your eyes?
