I'm iffy on the "rice syrup", doesn't sound very paleo

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by eric_twingein Fitness

[–]psisarah 1 point2 points ago

The shoes aren't as important as your style of running. If you're going to get Vibrams and you run with a heel strike, you're going to put yourself in a world of pain. Make sure before you invest in a barefoot-simulating shoe such as Nike Frees or Vibrams you're running correctly with a forefoot strike.

16 year old: My new years resolution come true! Progress pics inside! by not_yet_muscularin Fitness

Shit. I wish I was as attentive to my body as you are when I was 16. Great job.

I meant every pic she looks the same, and every after pic looks the same as the next after pic. There's been no progress since the first time she posted, it's just karma whoring.

Finally got my first graphic design internship! Any advice I should know about? by plaintasticin graphic_design

[–]psisarah 2 points3 points ago

  • don't be afraid to ask questions
  • Work your ass off
  • Is it a paid internship? If its unpaid and they treat you like a coffee-getting nobody, don't be afraid to leave (after giving a polite "thanks for the opportunity" note). Your time is valuable and if you're not getting paid and not learning, that time is better spent looking for a new internship.
  • Be on time

You look great and all, but come on this is the fourth time I've seen you post a before/after where you're the same in both pics. Karma is nice and all but you shouldn't need constant validation from reddit.

Fellow Toronto cycling enthusiasts, what are some good biking trails? by Jay-schoolin toronto

[–]psisarah 1 point2 points ago

The waterfront trail near Ontario place is beautiful. I bike there every other morning to feed the ducks. It's a A paved trail shared with pedestrians (though it's never too busy) so of you're looking for rugged offroading you won't find it there. Biking by the water is great though.

Real estate thieves want 5% commission for my Mom's home. I know I can negotiate. What's realistic? by cinserityin toronto

[–]psisarah 1 point2 points ago

Your perspective of how the real estate market works is a bit flawed. Plus it's more likely an agent will get you a better price for the home.

This is going to bite you in the ass someday. Most jobs won't hire you with a high school level education, regardless of how smart you are.

Ok, now I'm skeptical. by jpops91in Paleo

[–]psisarah 15 points16 points ago

5 days is way too short a sample. Maybe you're not affected by wheat in which case good for you, but a good chunk of the population is. The tiredness creeps in, along with the digestion problems for other foods and a host of other problems from joint pain to migraines. From Wheat Belly:

Gluten is only one of the reasons to fear wheat, since it triggers a host of immune diseases like celiac, rheumatoid arthritis, and gluten encephalopathy (dementia from wheat).

The protein unique to wheat, gliadin, a component of gluten proteins, is odd in that it is degraded in the human gastrointestinal tract to polypeptides (small proteins) that have the ability to cross into the brain and bind to morphine receptors. These polypeptides have been labeled gluteomorphin or exorphins (exogenous morphine-like compounds) by National Institutes of Health researchers. Wheat exorphins cause a subtle euphoria in some people. This may be part of the reason wheat products increase appetite and cause addiction-like behaviors in susceptible people. It also explains why a drug company has made application to the FDA for the drug naltrexone, an oral opiate-blocking drug ordinarily used to keep heroine addicts drug-free, for weight loss. Block the brain morphine receptor and weight loss (about 22 pounds over 6 months) results. But there’s only one food that yields substantial morphine-like compounds: yes, wheat.

The complex carbohydrate unique to wheat, amylopectin A, is another problem source. The branching structure of wheat’s amylopectin A is more digestible than the amylopectins B and C from rice, beans, and other starches (i.e., in their natural states, not the gluten-free dried pulverized starches). This explains why two slices of whole wheat bread increase blood sugar higher than table sugar, higher than a bowl of brown rice, higher than many candy bars. Having high blood sugars repeatedly is not good for health. It leads to accumulated visceral fat–a “wheat belly,” diabetes and pre-diabetes (defined, of course, as having higher blood sugars), not to mention cataracts, arthritis, and heart disease.

As if that wasn’t enough, there are even other components of wheat that are harmful, such as the lectins in wheat. Lectins are glycoproteins that have the curious ability to “unlock” the proteins lining the human intestinal tract that determine what substances can enter the blood or lymphatic system and what substances cannot. The intestinal tract must be selective in what is allowed to enter the human body else all manner of diseases can be triggered, especially autoimmune diseases. Wheat lectins disable these proteins. This is the suspected explanation for why wheat consumption has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, skin diseases like dermatitis herpetiformis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and a variety of other inflammatory diseases.

Beyond gluten, there are over 1000 other proteins in wheat that also have potential for odd or unexpected responses. You might say that wheat is a perfectly crafted Frankengrain that almost appears like it was created to exert maximum health damage in the most desirable, irresistible form possible. I really don’t believe that this monster was created on purpose to hurt people, but the astounding collection of adverse effects, all packed into one food, pushed on us by the U.S. government and other “official” health agencies, explains why this one thing has exerted more harm than any foreign terrorist group can inflict on us.

Wendy's now has baked sweet potatoes, yay for options on the road! by amberbin Paleo

[–]psisarah 30 points31 points ago

Former Wendys manager here. If you're sketched out a out the potatoes, don't be. The potatoes arrive raw pre-wrapped in tin foil, and they get put in an oven for an hour. No sneakiness. I suspect they'd do the same for the sweet potatoes, there really aren't many ways to bake one.

At the very least if your buddy thinks protein isn't needed for exercise he needs to check his sources.

My friend took this picture. I still can't believe it's me!(42 lbs lost/female) by shinybluedollarin progresspics

Wow great job! You lost a chin!

I think you're going to be one of the lucky ones that doesn't lose their boobs with weight loss. I lost a cup size going fro 200lbs to 150, but totally worth it!

[Pro Tip] You do not need CKD/TKD by bunnygnin keto

[–]psisarah 5 points6 points ago

This is ridiculous. Put away your PSA before it leads people to believe you know what you're talking about.

You don't need to be a professional athlete to notice strength losses on keto. If your workout routine is strictly cardio, you'll likely have little use for a carb-up. If you're not excercising at all, you have no need for a carb up. If you're incorporating a serious lifting routine into your workout, you need carbs otherwise your gains will suffer. There was a point in my life where I didn't want to believe this was true, but I had to learn the hard way it was.

I did SKD for three months, and was doing P90X during this time. I was actually seeing strength loss towards the end of the second month, and each workout after that got progressively worse. I've since moved on to Starting Strength and there is absolutely no way I would be able to do this program and see the strength gains I have without a carb refeed to restore muscle glycogen.

Before switching to a TKD/paleo hybrid, I wanted so badly to believe I didn't need carbs in my life if I wanted to continue to lift. But some people do, especially those into muscle training.

[–]psisarah 0 points1 point ago

Just because they're big doesn't make them evil. Also you can still buy CS suites the traditional method.

Also you don't need to be constantly online to use the cloud, you just have to be connected at least once every 30 days.
