I like grammar, but I don't see the need for cursive writing. it is a duplication that serves no logical purpose, except perhaps aesthetically. But I am open as always to hear another point of view.

I think that economics history would be useful for society... Argentina would be a great place to start. Complement personal finances with a study of government finances...

I went to as chatr kiosk, told them I want a SIM card, they told me what the plans were ,I went for something like a 30 per month plan, confirmed I can top up with cash-paid vouchers. Edit: I also bought a new phone. End Edit. Asked my name, I gave a semi-fake name, asked my address, I said...

So I was changing my SPEAKOUT over to CHATR, and I considered just using my new CHATR number and giving up my old Speakout number. But then it occurred to me: could someone eventually REQUEST to get my old cell number, and then THEY would be receiving any texts from the old phone number , at...

I got a text from Speakout saying that Oct31'st was the cutoff date, so I successfully ported over to a new CHATR account. Just as private, but more expensive. Didn't use a credit card, and can use cash to top up. I could have just gone with my new CHATR number, but... see new thread

Your body is not your enemy, so why is it asking for more? Well, the average person is pretty much becoming obese. But their genes haven't changed from hundreds of years ago. So that average person transported back in time would likely not be obese. They eat differently than their ancestors...

One option that should be considered by calorie counters: If you must count/control calories, go high, not low. By that I mean, INCREASE your caloric intake, from say 2,000 to 2,500 calories a day, and then get your physical exercise up to 3,000. Now. that's a lot, BUT... You are definitely...

Ah, yes, it is proven to not work over longer time periods. There is no "blowing up", it is merely people such as me are just making points that some people agree with, and some disagree with.

Well, you have basically just ignored everything in my recent post and simply DECLARED it to be wrong, without refuting any of its points or logic.

If you burn 2,500 calories a day and consume 1,500, the IMPLIES that you WILL lose 2 pounds a week. I see. So that is 100 lbs a year. In a year and a half a 150 pound person will weigh approximately ZERO. No, no they won't. And they won't starve to death either, because at 1,500 calories...

CORRECT regarding hormones. You can't out willpower them. That is EXACTLY what I said, and your quotation was EXACTLY correct. But, AGAIN, you make the exact same mistake as you made previously. Did I say that willpower is the ONLY method of controlling/changing hormones? Did I say that...

Yes, yes yes, I believe you are on the right path.

Jenisis: I also have NOT made my original post appear different than it was. Please show me where I said in my original post that nothing works? You seem to have no problem with engaging in a lot of back and forths until you can't back up your statements/logic. It is the linguistic...

You are now glossing over your clear error in saying that because I have ruled out two popular methods of weight loss, that I have said that nothing works, I said nothing of the kind.

Forget about calories. Think only nutrition. 100 calories of junk and 1000 calories of nutrient rich food are NOT the same.
