I know you're joking, but whenever I eat pizza rolls I make sure to drink milk. A bag of 90 pizza rolls usually results in drinking about half a gallon of milk. So good. The flavor profiles go together very well, especially for spicy varieties of pizza rolls like the Buffalo or Jalapeno ones.
This is why you hang out in the weight loss thread, damn bro.

As someone who has been researching a lot of steroids, that steroid article is just someone writing a book, not dedicated enough to be a user.

What you get out of a cycle is no better than what you put in. If your not willing to do the work before, dont use them at all. They aren't a cheat code in a video game, they act as a spring board to make gains.

It sounded like he made gains, but somehow lost them all, literally, overnight. I'm not sure how that happened.

He also looked fat as shit at the beginning, so I'm not really sure what his experience was.

Lmao he's not fat as shit in the beginning. I mean, yeah, he's fat... but fat as shit is an obese fucker in my book.

Anyway, doesn't seem legit to me. I know plenty of roid users who only cycled once or twice, and only one of them has lost everything, and that's cause he STOPPED lifting WHILE taking steroids and kept shoving everything into his fucking mouth. He's now incredibly weak (benches 105 and he's a 21 year old man).

Wait what? How much was he benching before he cycled? How much during? Why would anyone who can only bench 105 lbs and could naturally significantly increase his strength take steroids?

I just joined a gym, started my diet a week ago. I dropped 10lbs pretty quick from no sodas or high sodium foods. (no gym yet just diet) Basically in the mornings I eat 2 handfuls of cereal, multivitamin and some b12. Lunch is a muscle milk and some vitamins. If I get hungry before dinner I usually have a spoon full of almond or peanut butter. I eat whatever I want for dinner. Seems to be working wonders so far. If I get drowsy or tired I take a b12 and keep going.

Are you sure you're getting enough vitamins?
I just want to be sure that even though my portions are small that I get what I need through those.

My biggest thing is the mental challenge. Realized the nerve in my stomach is a GD liar, and I can ignore it or quell it with relative ease. The signal being sent to my brain is saying I need to eat a horse, but in reality, a cup of water or a spoon of peanut butter will shut that thing up.

Are we talking quite specifically just drinking milk? Because there's a whole slew of products that use milk that I guarantee you eat or drink.


Denaut's advice, as usual, is half-good, but only if you don't like encouraging critical thinking. Notice he had to explain why drinking milk is good. Why shouldn't you drink calories? Why shouldn't you eat sweets 6 out of 7 days a week? This isn't more of your lame hepatotoxin bullshit, is it?
You're kidding, right? Not encourage critical thinking? You shouldn't drink Calories because in the modern western diet (I am sure there are some exceptions) drinks with Calories in them other than regular milk are complete crap, just sugar and nothing else. And yes, sugar is bad for you so you should drastically limit intake. This is some sort of contentious debate now? I seriously have to argue with people that you shouldn't stuff your face with candy if you want to lose weight? Now I remember why I stopped posting in this thread.

Unfortunately multi-vitamins don't really work that way. Just taking vitamins doesn't replace eating actual food and there is no evidence that in otherwise healthy individuals have improved health or lower disease rates because of them. There is asection on Wikipedia about, you can follow the links to the primary sources if you like.

I am not saying you should never take vitamins, but just taking a multi is a waste of money.

Not just a multi, but quite a bit of other things. There's actually a startup of a guy making some kind of liquid vitamin meal thats supposed to be the new deal in fitness.

Read it on reddit yesterday, search for it again, and through my internet history and its not there so I can't link it.

Yes, just telling someone to do something without backing it up with even a sentence of explanation does not encourage critical thinking. Wouldn't you rather someone understand why they should limit intake of X substance instead of just telling them to basically never touch it?

Define "stuff your face". I've had days where at least a quarter of my caloric intake was "sweets", yet I still easily hit my macros.

Sugar is not bad for you. It's in your precious milk, ffs. How you ingest sugar and in what amounts CAN be bad for you. Which is why you do a disservice to yourself and the people you're trying to help with your draconian rules. I'd love to see some proof.

I think your metric of defining sugar as good or bad purely on its caloric value may be somewhat lacking.

This is part of the reason this thread is a useless cesspit, and I should just stop posting in it. A few simple words of advice and general guidelines are met with fierce derision and pedantic nitpicking. This is probably the worst thread on the entire board for someone that wants to get healthier and doesn't know where to start.

Eh, color me highly skeptical. No one has yet to come up with a magic pill that can replace food, likely because for all we know there is enough we don't know to make replacing food not yet feasible.

Warhead, I didn't say that("how you ingest your sugar and in what amounts..."), but please, continue that line of thought. Why is that bad?

You say pedantic nitpicking, I say you're continuing the trend of ignorance that got the person in the bad spot to begin with. Yes, for most people, your advice will definitely make them healthier. But they won't be any wiser or knowledgeable for it.

So, yeah, if you aren't going to backup any of your reasons, some of which might be bullshit, then please stop posting. I wish it was this easy for everyone. Took a couple threads and a new forum to get Dashel to shutup about paleo.

Technically it's true though, as long as the rest of your diet is solid. And by solid, I mean you hit whatever macronutrient goals you have, and get enough micros. Say you've already met your protein, fat, and micronutrient goals for the day, but you're 500 calories short of your carb goal. Is eating 500 calories of sugar necessarily bad for you? I'd argue it isn't.

Is the caloric value of sugar the only physiological aspect of how sugar interacts with your system?
