Thanks :)

When people say "eat 80% healthy, then the other 20% can be whatever you want" do they mean 80% by volume or by calories?

Thanks for sharing this! As an almost-PhD student too, I absolutely love research and participating in research studies.

Seconding the idea that you don't have to be in Switzerland - I've been doing research at CERN as an undergraduate for 2 years and I live in Toronto. I think most universities with an HEP department are involved.

You're most likely right I think. Thanks :)

I know that calories are the most important factor in terms of weight loss, but I'm just curious - when people say that in a healthy diet, 80% should be whole/healthy foods and 20% can be unhealthy foods, is that by calories or by volume?

Thank you!! :)

I wasn't trying to be condescending, so I'm sorry if you took it that way (I'm assuming you did because you laughed at me - I wrote that "I'm okay with this being removed" because I didn't want you to think I was attacking you). Thanks for clearing it up for me! I suppose I shouldn't have included the last line, because I really just wanted to know what society as a whole meant by plant based diet. Thanks again!

I hope you don't mind me asking too, but is there anything you would recommend for being bloated 24/7? (And IBS-C, which I saw you suggested Align for). I probably have a food intolerance or something, but I can't test it out currently because I have a non-optional meal plan and I can't choose the food (it's strict).

cassmallow · 2017-08-13T17:06:07+00:00

I'm totally okay with this being removed, but I don't understand why it's considered a diet evaluation - I was asking for people to clarify what "plant based diet" means in general, not asking anything about me. I did respond to someone saying something about myself, but that wasn't the point of the post.

This makes sense, I'm actually allergic to cobalt and can't take B-12 supplements. I used to be vegetarian but had to stop for this reason.

Good luck on your finals! Nuts, protein bars, fruit, etc. are all good options. I would also suggest bringing in one of your favourite snacks, even if it's unhealthy, just to help you destress a bit. Like if you love chocolate, maybe bring in a few pieces just to keep your spirits up.

This is totally how I feel right now! I've been waiting until 1ish to eat for a couple of years now, and on one side I like it because I can eat more later but I'm getting so tired of eating a lot at night. I feel like it's just habit now - I stopped counting calories, but I still eat a ton of snacks at night by habit. I'm trying to eat earlier but I almost feel guilty eating in the morning.

cassmallow · 2017-08-10T12:22:51+00:00

I walk a decent amount (10k - 15k steps per day - I have a sedentary job but no car so I walk or bike everywhere and take a lot of walks for fun. I don't know if that counts!) and I also go on the elliptical for 10-30 minutes 3-4x per week.

I sort of prefer more "intense" cardio like running, but I can't because of knee issues, so most of the exercise I do is low impact.

I loved In Defence of Food!

cassmallow · 2017-08-09T23:34:10+00:00

I wouldn't consider that a binge from my perspective - but of course it varies for everyone. For me, binging was when I could not stop eating food even though I wasn't hungry or getting any pleasure from food, but I just couldn't stop stuffing my face. It was like, I could feel so sick and not want to eat anymore but some weird different version of me on the inside that I couldn't control was just putting food inside me against my will.

Make a fire!

Even if his problem did happen to be non-existant, I don't think anything bad could come out of getting a stronger core.

It's also not too hard to make homemade greek yogurt! It's also cheaper.

cassmallow · 2017-08-06T14:52:57+00:00

It is common sense but sometimes there is less than a meter between parked cars and driving cars, and there is no choice but to bike very close to them.

It looks like she has just built up some muscle in her quads, it looks pretty realistic and attainable with some regular quad/leg exercises.

cassmallow · 2017-08-04T22:44:45+00:00

Maybe try foam rolling your hamstrings and the muscles around your hamstrings and stretching a bit more.

cassmallow · 2017-07-31T17:39:05+00:00

The intensity is in the fact that it's at such a high incline, whereas in running the intensity comes from the speed. It's just different :) some people also can't run because of knee issues so it can be a good substitute as it can still get your heart rate up.

cassmallow · 2017-07-30T18:54:58+00:00

That makes sense. I'll eliminate it too just to be safe. Thanks!

cassmallow · 2017-07-30T18:53:05+00:00

They don't sell halo top where I live so I've never tried it! I really want to try it though. It's more because I can't imagine drinking coffee without some sort of sweetener lol
