Also, don't get carried away with the "high fat" is great stuff. Buck is right. Fat gets a bad rap, but fat is very dense in calories. If you're eating a lot of fat, you're consuming a lot of calories. |

When did cholesterol become a good thing?
Not trying to start an argument. Real question. I understand the value of good fats, but I've never heard anything good about cholesterol. |

There's apparently newer studies that show inflammation has a larger affect on plague build up in arteries. |

Cholesterol is a main player of regulating different hormones in your body. It also gets a bad wrap.
We would not be able to live without it. Not all cholesterol is bad. You hr LDL called "bad cholesterol" but that's a misnomer. LDL is essential too and not all of it is bad. Their is actually more than 1 type of LDL, smaller and larger versions. The smaller particles are worse for you. If you get a Cholesterol Test, ask your Dr for a VAP test as it will measure the amount of small and large LDL particles in your blood. |

Well, I got up early twice this week. I prefer going in the mornings. It's cooler and less cars. However, I usually end up having to poop about a mile into it. The only way to make it through is to walk the rest of the way.

Four months in and I am 53 pounds down, and have lost 4 pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes. I have been doing cross-fit and am starting to wonder if I need to start Paelo. I really shouldn't be trying to lose weight at this point, just start maintaining. I am 6'2" and now weigh a whopping 208.5. I am wanting to have a BMI done so I can accurately tell if I am where I need to be.

BMI is just a weight to height ratio. |

The government BMI tables are horrible. I'd have to be a stick just to be considered not overweight. I am 2 pounds from being obese according to those numbers. I would have to lose 27 pounds to just be in their normal category. The lower end of that category would force me to move to Somalia to fit in.

If I was 148lbs, at 6'2", I'd be on the low end of normal. Only ~50 pounds to go. I don't think I've weighed that since high school, and back then I was like 5'7".
