Why "eggs ---------> fruits" Isn't there more benefits of eating a protein rich breakfast ?

  meta: now that only the poster can see his/her post's score, others can't tell if a post with a question interests many in the community or not. Previously, edw519 (or others) could gauge using the question's score the community's interest. In a pragmatic sense, it's not far fetched to assume that a question that you can see interests many people (but only few can answer) will have more chance of being answered than a question that appears to interest only Joe User. Now, if I want to show interest in the question, edw519 can't see my upvote(1) and thus it's useless in the "showing public support" sense. The only thing I can now do to show public interest is a "me too!" or a "yes, do tell!" post, which I guess all of us would like to avoid. (1) maybe with enough karma you CAN see everybody's score, idk, but the point still stands

  There are for me. Having eggs in my breakfast, instead of just foods like fruit or breads, easily adds 10 points to my IQ that day. Easily.

  Here's mine: scrambled eggs --> poached eggs --> raw eggs jogging --> sprinting sun cream --> no cream metal pots --> ceramic pots pasteurized dairy --> raw dairy Australia --> Israel

    does the ceramic make a difference in the taste? If so, I'm curious what foods specifically?

      The food stays hot for longer in the pot and can be placed in the fridge, microwave, dishwasher. I think it cooks better due to infrared rays apparently, and there's no risk of metal contamination: that's my concern from hot acidic foods like tomato sauce, especially when kept for days in fridge, or scratched out with metal spoon. I think it tastes better and cooks better - the overall experience feels awesome. 3 brands I've come across are Neoflam (Korea), Piral (Italy) and Xtrema (USA.) Xtrema best but most expensive but all v good. Sudden heat changes and dropping are the enemy.

        Excellent, I'm always looking out for new techniques & tools. I've always wondered if cooking in non-conductive would make a difference, your response validates. Thanks adrian

    what differences / or benefits have you seen from sprinting instead of running/jogging ?
    - adrianwaj 16y ago
      Sprinting gives a rush of endorphins and hgh. Sprinting is anaerobic exercise for the heart, and jogging is more aerobic. However, both are important. Sprinting not only involves power, but technique and arms, it yields a different physique by using faster twitch muscles and requires flexibility. Jogging is more harmful to the body when one gets addicted to constantly pushing and playing with the pain threshold, or ignoring it, which happens when schedules and distances are embraced by ego. I am inclined to think we're built to go for a walk to a hunting ground, sprint and throw an arrow, and walk home with a carcass on our backs, sleep while the women cooks and disects its organs, then eat it. Jogging serves no purpose other than to save time. If we're jogging a lot, we haven't positioned our tribe properly. What animal would you pursue jogging? Would you take your army out jogging? Would you rather jog or ride a horse into war?

Curious about weight lifting --------------> bodyweight exercises Is there a specific reason or is it just tied to your switch to a home gym?
- edw519 16y ago
  I had a chronic injury (rotator cuff) caused by years of weight lifting. It got so bad, sometimes I couldn't put my shirt on. The only "treatment" was laying off exercise. I thought I was doing something wrong until I realized that I had selected a "less than optimal" form of exercise. I also had plantar faciitis, caused by years of improper running. In 2005, I was recommended this book: http://www.amazon.com/Pushing-Yourself-Power-Ultimate-Transformation/dp/1932458018/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1302704194&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Pushing-Yourself-Power-Ultimate-Transf... which totally changed my thinking and led me to many other resources. Now my exercises are: - Hindu squats - Hindu pushups - pushups & chinups - Heavyhands on stairs - moderate running barefoot or with minimal shoes - 5 rites - occasional superslow on machines in the gym I am in the best shape of my life with NO injuries. Even though some of my responses were a little tongue in cheek, this one probably best supported OP's theme of "never looking back".

    I'm a runner who's just recovering from a injured Achilles tendon. Do you know what specifically caused your plantar faciitis? I want to avoid it, and I know someone who's suffering through it right now.
