  1. I was growing up too. However in 99.8% of cases, the person can resolve it on their own. The issue really just comes down to "how big a margin of error do you have in terms of food choices"? Some people have a giant margin for error and can virtually eat whatever they want without too many negative effects. Some people have a very low margin for error. At the end of the day it virtually all comes down to insulin sensitivity/insulin resistance. People who are having issues losing weight need to stop focusing on calories and start focusing on eating foods that will not spike insulin. Calories are important at the end of the day but the TYPE of calories are more important. Insulin is a storage hormone and while it's active fat burning is basically shut off. Normally insulin rises and then quickly falls once cells take in the glucose from the bloodstream. In insulin resistant people the cells basically ignore the signal and it takes far longer for the glucose to get into the cells, meaning insulin is active for much longer. I could write a dissertation on this topic as I have repeatedly lost weight gained from winter "bulking" via these methods quickly and efficiently. Most recently, I lost 65 lbs in about 6 months going from 245 lbs to 180 lbs, although this time it was a result of me completely falling off the wagon this time last year with diet and exercise. Currently working to get to 165 lbs and 10% Bodyfat then start slowly adding muscle from there. In general, if you follow these rules you will resolve any insulin related issues: 1) Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep every night, including staying on as close to the same sleep schedule as you can. Lack of sleep screws up hormones BADLY and in favor of becoming insulin resistant and fat storing. 2) If it comes in a bag or a box and has more than 1 ingredient, don't eat it. 3) If it has sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) in it, don't drink it. Drink water. Lots of water. Flavor it at first if you must. 4) Eat quality, complex, slow burning, fiber containing carbs - oatmeal, sweet potatoes, basmati/brown rice, beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc... 5) Prioritize 1-1.2g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Protein is the MOST important macro for weight loss for 2 reasons: It has the highest Thermic Effect of any macronutrient at 30-40%, meaning your body must expend calories to enable the protein to be used It helps to maintain as much muscle as possible while losing weight and ensures the weight lost is predominantly fat. The goal shouldn't be to lost weight, it should be to lose fat. Losing lean body mass is NOT what you want to as great a degree as possible 6) Try to eat the color of the rainbow everyday in terms of fruits and vegetables(especially vegetables). The different colors denote different nutrients and anti-oxidants the body needs. 7) Alcohol is the equivalent of a tornado on a building for losing weight. Try to keep it to a minimum of 2 nights a week and 2 drinks on those nights. I personally will not drink while I am training, I work too hard to lose 50% of the result or more. 8 ) Focus on short, intense resistance training 20-30 minutes 4x a week and walking. Just walking. Only cardio you ever need. It is a tremendous burner of fat and vastly underrated. I personally am also a huge believer in fasting and I follow a 5:2 fasting protocol which means I don't eat twice a week. This has a massive positive effect on insulin sensitivity and other metabolic factors. It's not necessary, but it definitely enhances results and efficiency.
  2. This is likely the more plausible explanation from my experience in seeing how women work when they are out and about together without their man. I know more than one friend who found out their girlfriend had a one night stand with a rando when they went out on "girls night out".
  3. I think you want all-22...or are you assuming 1 side of the ball was short a player on every play?
  4. Haven't seen the new Mahomes/Reid StateFarm commercial I take it...
  5. Even if this was the case, they have no basis for pulling anyone over on private property.
  6. Not really, but I don't feel like having to give you more science to digest. That's enough for one day.
  7. Checked to see if there was anything else on this previously...apparently he just talked about this on a podcast with Shannon Sharpe... Sounds pretty personal honestly, like one cop or a group of cops had some type of personal vendetta against him...getting pulled over multiple times leaving the game and practices while still on stadium grounds?? Has any other player reported anything like this? Seems strange that he would be the only person this would happen to if it was this aggressive... "Marshawn Lynch revealed on a recent episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast that police profiling was the reason he left the Buffalo Bills. Lynch seemed almost at a loss for words as he told Sharpe about a series of incidents. “I’d get pulled over going to work, I’d get pulled over coming from work,” he said. “I got pulled over in the stadium leaving the game. I’m still on the property of the Buffalo Bills, and I got pulled over twice. In the facility!" https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/marshawn-lynch-reveals-profiling-police-204320362.html
  8. Is this the Fire Dorsey parade led by OP?
  9. Maybe McDermott asked him when the baby is due?
  10. No, it's actually based on science. The more fat cells you have in your body, the more estrogen you have and less testosterone as fat cells themselves are estrogenic and cause a negative feedback loop in the body which favors an increase in fat cells, which then produce more estrogen, which then lowers testosterone levels further as estrogen is the hormonal marker in the body. Typically(outside of environmental toxins, plastics and pesticides which are all xenoestrogens and wreaking havoc on the male endocrine system in their own right, but that's a topic for another day), the male body only has high levels of estrogen when testosterone production is too high and it's being converted via aromatase into estradiol. So the body responds by increasing sex hormone binding globule(SHBG) which then binds to testosterone and renders it inactive, driving levels down even further, and the cycle then continues in a downward spiral. See? You learned something that's actually useful today on these boards.
  11. After Gabe gets punched in the face...how was this dude not ejected?
  12. Op asking like why don't we see this anymore??
  13. I mean I just can't today...
  14. Yes, that is called "Hearsay" in a court of law and is not admissible, FYI.
  15. Can't be too many, Allen leads the NFL in completion percentage still north of 70%.
  16. That 3.6 YPC is really going to get it done.
  17. Based on Belichick's success against Allen, I would think this has a pretty good chance of being a blowout.
  18. Maybe because he is in shape and has testosterone flowing thru his body unlike most of the coaches who are fat butterballs that have more estrogen in their bodies from fat cell production than their wives do? Mike Tomlin seems the same way. Would you rather McDermott try to steal Josh Allen's "nuggies"?
  19. And? Bills are very good away from home. There is no real advantage for those teams. Home teams actually have a losing record this year,. so it's no longer any real advantage statistically.
  20. Because this isn't 1990 anymore with teams coming out in 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 FB and 1 RB sets as their standard personnel.
  21. Maybe the same place All the Cowboys have gone? Paula Cole might know...maybe you should ask her.
  22. I think Allen is not running at times almost to a fault, which is in some ways holding the offense back... There have been multiple times where huge areas of green are in front of him to exploit but he chooses to throw a low percentage pass instead and those usually don't get completed. I get him not wanting to run as much, but there is a difference between running just to run and running when it's the best play available. Allen too often is now not running when it's the best play available and when he is near the sidelines and could easily outrun the defender and get out of bounds to avoid a hit. Seems like he has over-corrected in the other direction and gone from running maybe a little too much to maybe running not frequently enough(when it's the best play available). Hoping he finds a middle ground as the season goes on.
  23. There are a lot of times that watching Cover1 all-22 clips that the spacing looks very poor...as in there are 4 Bill receivers within 10 yards of each other and huge open spaces with nobody. It makes the windows much tighter than they should be since all those defenders are being drawn to the same area. Seems to happen a lot when they go to those condensed formations. Think Dorsey needs to really examine these in more detail and work on better utilizing the open space available to him instead of having players bunching up all in one area. I know this was mentioned at times last year also, but it's even more noticeable this year since we have been using a lot of the condensed formations with 12 personnel.
  24. The Bills only HAD 3 2nd half possessions as both teams ran the ball well and completed short passes which kept the clock moving. They scored TDs on their first 2 and missed a FG on the other one that should have been a kneel down with a better throw by josh and/or a better catch by Knox.
