Diet and exercise should keep us physically and mentally fit. I know that if I did HIT once a week and kept to the diet prescribed here and by paleophiles I would be out of shape and feel like crap. I mix up strength and aerobic training, eat enough carbs to keep me energized. I steer clear of anything processed, saturated, high in nitrates, sodium, or sugar.

Anyway, to argue that works for me will work for you is simply ludicrous…that goes for everything. The bottom line is you have to be aware of what’s going on in YOUR life and quit looking for some convention or self-described guru to give you the golden ticket. Wake up and tune in and you’ll figure it out.

Thanks for the information

Good reading and congratulations on learning from that first bad P90X thread.

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

JEFF, I’m really worried for you as you seem to be pretty…I don’t know. (I really don’t like to be mean), pretty stupid. If you’ve known about sarcasm, acting and a little bit of sophomoric (bet you can’t even understand that word) antics, then you’d know that I love making conflict out of anything untellectual as this blog. Really man, the better, safer and finer approach to fitness will always, always depend on the individual, JEFF. We could do a Turkish Get-up and you’d do the prescribed approach of 3 days a week (each day separated by rest) and you’d lift for about 6 reps with a fairly heavy weight and I’d do Turkish Get-up with only 3 reps with a fairly heavyweight everyday, alternating between 3 reps on one day, and other repetitions ranges on other days – and I’d still knock your socks off or otherwise, you could knock my balls off. Who knows. Most of the results do not come from the programs, but from the person doing it. I really don’t want to be mean, JEFF. I made a point of you providing proof as to how I was wrong, but you don’t seem to have any. It’s nothing personal man, it’s just that stupid people like you are hard to find these days. You are stud man, no problem with that – but we still need some brains in this world. So do us a favor by researching well before you say anything that will make you even more stupid than you are now.

P.S: My family loves me, my teachers love me, the world hates me but I learn to love them. I’m proud to say that I’ve hurt them at times and they have hurt me, but there was always a mutual understanding.Hmm. That seems to be a good standard for a human being. I’m still giving my best in maintaining and improving health and it will always be that way. Yup, I’m a psychopath – because a live worth living (not merely existing) is done by doing things out of the ordinary.

JEFF, I’m really afraid that your stupidity might hurt people you love, women you’ve slept with, guys you’ve jerked at, and yourself as well. I really am afraid of that too. So please read a book and start learning, JEFF. You’re not the only one. Don’t worry about that, stud. You might find “Sweatin With the Oldies” helpful in giving your brain some oxygen – who knows, free radicals ‘might’ cause you to be normal again. Oh wait, you don’t have research on that as well right? Figures. Take care (I’ll not add anything, I’ve emasculated you enough.)

Please know you are not alone out there and there are people who would be willing to help. In the meantime, watch some of the video content on The 21 Convention for advice and support. Take care

I know man. I’m not a stud. You didn’t have to tell it to the whole world! I’ve got a 3-inch hamster here and girls I like don’t even like me! Damn! Seriously stop spreading it to the whole world! Sshshsshh. I’m just a regular human being and not a stud like you. ( you must be happy with all those farm animals.)

Anyway, JEFF, please provide proof next time. It ruins the ‘studliness’ in you if you don’t have proof and call something ludicrous, especially when you can’t back it up. It’s like having a 10-inch piece of meat without any fat inside it – it just doesn’t taste good. I don’t want you to lose your ‘studliness’ man cause i’m gay (maybe i’m not) but I just want to see proof if ever you’re trying to prove a claim here. Dream has such a nice blog, I’d only wish that some people (No, I WASN’T TALKING ABOUT YOU.) had some brains to put some proof in their claims – so as not to lose the ‘stud’ factor. It’s OKAY THOUGH, at least you got a 10-inch p…………….ython there (I assume – damn, I must be gay!) >.< and it's OK though, not everyone can be 'studs' like you or a regular human being like me – all the people here are either fitness experts, nutritionists, cavemen from the past, studs with very big..uh, standards, and rational leaders and elitists. Either way, man, go home too. It's not so good staying up light, your mother might be angry.

(DX Background Music Playing with 'Jeff' cooking up a hotdog with so much amore (love) – hihihi..he sure loves them weeners, he's a stud.)

Cool. You replied. JEFF, I am most definitely not a stud. I am fat, I have bad skin and girls don’t dig me. But, I guess, the true meaning of a stud is being a bred farm animal. Yup, i’m not that too. Why though? Are you a stud? Just teasing man (wonder if it’s true – you, JEFF, getting women everyday (hot ones at that) and being all so cool and going to a farm where the sun don’t shine and making love with those women and having a horse in the mix to share it’s…you get the idea – i’m just teasing man.) I’m just a human being, nowhere do I want to be called a stud – the wondrous definition of getting all the ladies is simply a jargon, if you know what ‘jargon’ means that is.
Oh yeah, I mentioned before that I don’t claim to have credibility, i’m nowhere qualified man – please read. But, I do have information and I do have sources. I’m not defending my credibility. Heck, you probably have more credibility than me. I’m here to comment on what I think is right and I can back it up with sources and information. Though, I can’t really do that if you just keep giving these biased opinions about what YOU KNOW in terms of strength training and it’s effect on obesity. My friend, I accept those opinions with just about everybody but please provide sources (you’re a stud right?) and i’ll counter with mine because you seem so desperate for attention. Okay? can you understand that, Mr. Stud? Anyway, that’s all there is to it, my friend. So, yes, go home dude (you seem to like this word.) And, I said, RISK OF CAUSING OBESITY. NOT A DIRECT CAUSE. My friend, please read, okay? so it’s easier to reply to you. You’re stating a claim that is very ludicrous as well. And yes, the studies my friend. The studies and research would really help. If you don’t provide yourself, JEFF, who knows man, you might lose your ‘studliness’ as well. You wouldn’t want that to happen don’t you? (I assume you have a 10-inch python that women want to die for, but please man, we need some proof of your claim – that’s all i’m asking. If you do have that 10-inch python, man am I jealous. But seriously, some proof, JEFF.) Peace up.

It’s OKAY though, not everyone can be a human being like me. Perhaps they’d rather be studs. T.T. I wish I was a stud. mwaaa..T.T

Credibility is what it is. Certainly, I’ve left home hours ago and just came here to check. Seems though you replied. Thanks. Yup, it does cause inflammation and that it promotes to obesity. No doubt about it. Like you said yourself, JEFF, not everyone can be a stud. I’m a human being. True enough, you may be a stud then (if that is what you’re implying). It’s cool that you’d like to think of yourself as an animal and probably to feel good about yourself you’d like to think of yourself as a horse ( I wonder why – I’m just saying.) Anyway, listen DUDE (you seem to be fond of the word.) It does cause inflammation and increases obesity. It increases the risk of obesity because of leptin hormone decreased due to inflammation. But, you see, I can go home and I can just say, “This guy is correct. I know he is (yes, JEFF i’m referring to you). I just WISHED THOUGH HE’D HAVE SOURCES TO PROVE IT.” I was thinking about that. But, seems though you don’t have proof. Like I said, I don’t have credibility. I don’t have a P.H.D or an M.D in my account, but I do have information and sources. I’m honest enough to say that i am not qualified to say these things, but I do have proof. Do you Mr. Stud? (Yes, JEFF I’m referring to you). I’d like to see proof as to my having it completely backwards. I don’t want to be mean and all, JEFF, but it’s so pathetic that I can’t be a stud like some people. I don’t want to be. I’m a rational human being with a brain. I don’t know about you though. Basically, my friend, just provide proof so that you can go home. You don’t belong here as much as anybody saying that if you claim but you don’t even have proof. Unless you show me proof, I won’t even lift a finger. I don’t want others to give you proof, do it yourself and be man. I’m just saying man. I agree with you saying that proper strength training does NOT CAUSE OBESITY. It does, however, increase the risk of obesity – and yes, the focus is on RISK and not DIRECT CAUSE. Try to read before you comment, you’re going to lose your credibility for that, dude (again, you seem to like this word.) and your ‘studly’ powers. I’m always here, stud.

It’s OK though, not everyone can be a decent human being.
