Yeah, have tried different cables. Keep in mind also, the speed is still 20mbps, but yes, I have tried swapping cables. No effect.

doc here: anything remotely close to normal water intake will not effect the efficacy of the digestive process. A big slug of cold water might be a skosh uncomfortable, but I've never heard of water intake causing diarrhea.

how old are you that you have "stayed skinny"? What sports do you participate in? Your picture is incomplete.

You're right. I should have included corn. If I look at an American plate, half-covered with two giant scoops of fried rice, and an entree of Kung Pao chicken, and was told I could remove only one ingredient, I would remove the rice. If onl

As the others have posted, cutting out refined carbs is huge. But you should also avoid rice, potatos, and other "vegetables" that are essentially nothing but starch.

Consumed fats induce a broad range of hormonal satiety signals, so your total caloric consumption is often less. The French and Mediterranean countries are famous for a few things, two being healthy living and high fat diets (butter in Fran

Granted, glycemic index is a useful measure. I don't recommend it, initially, only because I find most of my patients glaze over at that point. If you grok it, more power to you. > husk of the grain takes a lot longer to digest Well, mo

Just to fill in a bit: "unrefined carbs" includes potatoes, rice, whole grain bread, corn, yams, turnips, beets, beans, etc. "Refined carbs" includes pasta, crackers, white breads (including sourdough and bagels), juice, non-diet soda, etc.

As a doc, glad to see some people in the community thinking right about this. This is overall pretty good advice. I would add the best snacks are nuts and cheese, or other high-fat, high-protein, low carbohydrate foods. I like the idea of a

I resigned from a reasonably safe, reliable career and went to med school, married, with two kids(1). I'm glad I made the move, but it was definitely scary. With marriage, you're still pretty risk-tolerant. Kids . . . not so much. Once I wa
