who drinks that much water??
This is one of the most misinformed/ole wives tale threads I have seen in a minute 
100% fruit juice is bad for you but 100% FRUIT is good? Come on shun!!

That Rules of the body thing was too funny to make it past #2-3
Personally I don't drink anything but water and tea
But my reason is to increase my water intake..but "100% Juice not good for you!!!!!!!!"
I can't drink that kool-aid

nobody really, but I've heard of muthafuckas that drink up to 2 gallons in a day.
I try to do a half gallon per day. I used to try doing a gallon, but not I backed off from that. Going to the bathroom every 10 min is irritating.
Only thing I drink is water, green tea, and homemade fruit smoothies.
Why anyone drinks any of that pop shit is beyond me.

Atkin's Diet messed a whole lotta people's heads up
Yep. Thats why I DRINK these when I have the craving for Juice... And its way Cheaper then "real" Juice.

Don't even need to peep the label
Hope you not drinkin it wit tap water too

i dont drink any of that stuff.
my body runs on liquid metal and burnt fig leaves.
i dont even breathe air.
Man, I'm gonna drink what the fuck I like. Ain't nobody telling me what ain't good for me, especially 100% juice. The fuck you think is going in your system when you eat a piece of fruit? You know, fruit, the shit our ancestors lived on centuries ago...probably living longer than all of us will.
This right here for you niggas is the best advice in this thread. Moderation. Do whatever the fuck you want but do it in moderation as long as it doesn't harm or kill anyone.
I don't do drugs, barely drink alcohol (last time was a year ago), and work out consistently. I drink soda often as a reward along with water, juices and tea.
As long as you burn the shit off, it WILL NOT FUCK YOU UP!
JUST WORK OUT!! Do it anyway you can. Lifting weights with some cardio, kickboxing, martial arts, jogging, swimming, etc... JUST BURN MORE CALORIES THAN YOU TAKE IN, BUILD AND TONE YOUR MUSCLES SO YOUR MUSCLE/BODY FAT RATIO IS HIGHER ON THE MUSCLE SIDE AND YOU'LL BE FINE.
I was with you until you started on the whole carbs aren't necessary. Try working out vigorously or running 2 miles or more and see where that shit will get you. You need carbs as an energy source. Sure your body stores excess carbs as fat, but those are reserve stores. Do your biochemistry research a little more...sugars are what drive life (sure I'm simplifying shit, it's a porn board for Christ's sake!
)RUNNERS, mostly marathon. Do some reading before you go around callin' people dumb fucks for thinking logically. YES, TOO MUCH WATER CAN KILL YOU!!
It's called WATER INTOXICATION: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication

Do your biochemistry research a little more...sugars are what drive life (sure I'm simplifying shit, it's a porn board for Christ's sake!
With all due respect, I've done my biochemistry research. I work out vigorously with a diet of nothing but fat and protein. And I have the most energy I've ever had in my adult life, and I'm 30. Also, my blood pressure went down and I lost 30 lbs in 3 months on a low carb diet.
If you research the history of the human diet, you will see that refined grains didn't exist in our diet up until a few thousand years ago. Our bodies haven't adapted to the rapid changes in our diet in the last 10,000 years. Sucrose (table sugar) has only been introduced in the last 300 years. High Fructose Corn Syrup, the last 30 years.
The status quo has preached low-fat diets, assuming that the more fat you eat, the more fat you get, the more unhealthy you become. That's true when fat is eaten in excess -- meaning excess fat, or worse excess carbs and fat. But where has it gotten the country? Are these muthafuckas not the biggest blobs you've ever seen in your life walking around this muthafucka now? Point blank, fat isn't the culprit. The reason why America is so fat is due to excessive consumption of carbs - Breads, Grains, Pastas, Sweets, French Fries, Rice. Everybody is steadily eating that and gaining weight and getting sick.
You don't NEED carbs as a source of energy. Of course it does take you body some getting used to, but unarguably, your body WANTS to burn fat.
so good
i dont drink any of that stuff.
my body runs on liquid metal and burnt fig leaves.
i dont even breathe air.
I was hoping this thread would turn out to be bullshit as my favorite drinks are Simply Apple, Simply Orange, Simply Lemonade and Simply Raspberry Lemonade (the last two being only 12% juice but the first two being 100% and not from concentrate).
What did you typically eat and drink?
I have some excess flab that's been with me a long time, I probably only need to lose about 10 pounds and would like to tone up some.
I've greatly reduced the fast food I eat from several times a week to almost never (except a few orders of Popeyes $.99 2 piece Tuesdays) in the past year and I used to consume damn near only soda but rarely drink it at all for the last two or three years. I just never find time to exercise but that will be easier for me pretty soon with some work changes coming up.
humans live longer can you explain that ? I'm sure many americans who lived to see 100 ate carbs.Not corn syrup per se ,but sugar and the like
I'm interested in seeing some documentation backing up these laws. Can you provide credible studies, research, or links to back up what you stated.
I sort of agree with your above statements. We do have WAY too may refined carbs in out diet and we do not need them to live or function. I don't agree with you not needing any carbs in your diet tho. Short version (this is a porn board), you muscles, brain, and heart all need glucose (what carbs are broken down into) to function. Without carbs, the body starts breaking down protein by gluconeogenesis. THEN it starts to break down fat, but at the cost of raising the brains pH level because of the creation of ketones, so the body has to get rid of that.
Pretty much you can survive (for a while) without carbs, but you are making your body work harder in the process. Whole grain carbs and fruits/vegetables do not cause the effects that you are stating, when eaten in moderation.
While we're on the topic, I suggest all of you read the article below. It's a real eye opener that I was already aware of. You can work out all you want, but at the end of the day, it boils down to what you are eating.

Phys Ed: Why Doesn’t Exercise Lead to Weight Loss?
By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS
For some time, researchers have been finding that people who exercise don’t necessarily lose weight. A study published online in September in The British Journal of Sports Medicine was the latest to report apparently disappointing slimming results. In the study, 58 obese people completed 12 weeks of supervised aerobic training without changing their diets. The group lost an average of a little more than seven pounds, and many lost barely half that.
How can that be? Exercise, it seems, should make you thin. Activity burns calories. No one doubts that.
Walking, even at a very easy pace, you’ll probably burn three or four calories a minute,” beyond what you would use quietly sitting in a chair, said Dan Carey, Ph.D., an assistant professor of exercise physiology at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, who studies exercise and metabolism.
But few people, an overwhelming body of research shows, achieve significant weight loss with exercise alone, not without changing their eating habits. A new study from scientists at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver offers some reasons why. For the study, the researchers recruited several groups of people. Some were lean endurance athletes; some sedentary and lean; some sedentary and obese. Each of the subjects agreed to spend, over the course of the experiment, several 24-hour periods in a special laboratory room (a walk-in calorimeter) that measures the number of calories a person burns. Using various calculations, the researchers could also tell whether the calories expended were in the form of fat or carbohydrates, the body’s two main fuel sources. Burning more fat than carbohydrates is obviously desirable for weight loss, since the fat being burned comes primarily from body fat stores, and we all, even the leanest among us, have plenty of those.
The Denver researchers were especially interested in how the athletes’ bodies would apportion and use calories. It has been well documented that regular endurance training increases the ability of the body to use fat as a fuel during exercise. They wondered, though, if the athletes — or any of the other subjects — would burn extra fat calories after exercising, a phenomenon that some exercisers (and even more diet and fitness books) call “afterburn.”
“Many people believe that you rev up” your metabolism after an exercise session “so that you burn additional body fat throughout the day,” said Edward Melanson, Ph.D., an associate professor in the division of endocrinology at the School of Medicine and the lead author of the study. If afterburn were found to exist, it would suggest that even if you replaced the calories you used during an exercise session, you should lose weight, without gaining weight — the proverbial free lunch.
Each of Melanson’s subjects spent 24 quiet hours in the calorimeter, followed later by another 24 hours that included an hourlong bout of stationary bicycling. The cycling was deliberately performed at a relatively easy intensity (about 55 percent of each person’s predetermined aerobic capacity). It is well known physiologically that, while high-intensity exercise demands mostly carbohydrate calories (since carbohydrates can quickly reach the bloodstream and, from there, laboring muscles), low-intensity exercise prompts the body to burn at least some stored fat. All of the subjects ate three meals a day.
To their surprise, the researchers found that none of the groups, including the athletes, experienced “afterburn.” They did not use additional body fat on the day when they exercised. In fact, most of the subjects burned slightly less fat over the 24-hour study period when they exercised than when they did not.
“The message of our work is really simple,” although not agreeable to hear, Melanson said. “It all comes down to energy balance,” or, as you might have guessed, calories in and calories out. People “are only burning 200 or 300 calories” in a typical 30-minute exercise session, Melanson points out. “You replace that with one bottle of Gatorade.”
This does not mean that exercise has no impact on body weight, or that you can’t calibrate your workouts to maximize the amount of body fat that you burn, if that’s your goal.
“If you work out at an easy intensity, you will burn a higher percentage of fat calories” than if you work out a higher intensity, Carey says, so you should draw down some of the padding you’ve accumulated on the hips or elsewhere — if you don’t replace all of the calories afterward. To help those hoping to reduce their body fat, he published formulas in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research last month that detailed the heart rates at which a person could maximize fat burning. “Heart rates of between 105 and 134” beats per minute, Carey said, represent the fat-burning zone. “It’s probably best to work out near the top of that zone,” he says, “so that you burn more calories over all” than at the extremely leisurely lower end.
Perhaps just as important, bear in mind that exercise has benefits beyond weight reduction. In the study of obese people who took up exercise, most became notably healthier, increasing their aerobic capacity, decreasing their blood pressure and resting heart rates, and, the authors write, achieving “an acute exercise-induced increase in positive mood,” leading the authors to conclude that, “significant and meaningful health benefits can be achieved even in the presence of lower than expected exercise-induced weight loss.”
Finally and thankfully, exercise seems to aid, physiologically, in the battle to keep off body fat once it has been, through resolute calorie reduction, chiseled away. In other work by Melanson’s group, published in September, laboratory rats that had been overfed and then slimmed through calorie reduction were able to “defend” their lower weight more effectively if they ran on a treadmill and ate at will than if they had no access to a treadmill. The exercise seemed to reset certain metabolic pathways within the rats, Melanson says, that blunted their body’s drive to replace the lost fat. Similar mechanisms, he adds, probably operate within the bodies of humans, providing scientific justification for signing up for that Thanksgiving Day 5K.

What did you typically eat and drink?
I have some excess flab that's been with me a long time, I probably only need to lose about 10 pounds and would like to tone up some.
I've greatly reduced the fast food I eat from several times a week to almost never (except a few orders of Popeyes $.99 2 piece Tuesdays) in the past year and I used to consume damn near only soda but rarely drink it at all for the last two or three years. I just never find time to exercise but that will be easier for me pretty soon with some work changes coming up.
Well, if I have to eat fast food, I get a double cheeseburger from Wendy's and toss the bun. Uncoventional and not ideal, but within the frame of diet.
On the regular, I eat meats/poultry/fish, certain veggies and cheese/fat-based foods and nuts.
My typical day is
breakfast: two eggs, 4 strips of bacon or sausage
lunch: some kind of meat (steak, salmon, shrimp) and a salad.
dinner: a variation to my lunch - steak and greens, lamb and cucumber salad.
dessert: I make a low carb cheesecake by using almonds as crust
and using splenda instead of sugar. And sometimes I do Breyer's Low carb ice cream. And natural peanut butter.
The key though, is to make sure you eat at a calorie deficit. You can't overeat with this way of eating. Whatever your resting metabolic rate is (you can google an online calculator for this), you eat at deficit. For instance, my rmr is 1900 calories, so I usually eat 14-1500 calories a day. Subtracting 500 calories per day, for seven days a week, equals 3500 calories = 1 lb of bodyfat.
You can eat at a deficit, or you can eat at your rmr and burn 500 calories per day with exercise.
Don't be afraid of your body feeling weak for a second. It's only temporary. After a few days you start to adjust. The good thing is that you can bbq, eat chicken wings (no batter) and blue cheese, your food can STILL taste good.
And drinking plenty of water keeps the sodium moving.
Yeah people live longer now because there's more information and more medicine. A person can be sustained off of medicine that wasn't available until recently in history. And people have the knowledge to make adjustments to their diets. And we live in less harsh elements than we did 10,000 years ago, hell even 300 years ago. So yeah, there is a longer life expectancy. You'll live even longer if you cut those carbs out too.
bullshit
Humans should only eat more vegetable, less meat and more water...
Did you ever wonder why some people appear to have really fast metabolisms, enabling them to eat everything and never gain weight, where others metabolisms are so slow that they eat like birds and never lose weight? The answer lies in the manner in which each person extracts energy from his or her food. Eat more vegetables when you want to lose weight. You've heard it before and you know the benefits.
1. Hard to overeat. You can eat potato chips all day and night, but you
quickly feel stuffed on carrot and celery sticks.
2. Feel fuller faster.
3. Decrease meat content by adding more vegetables.
The benefits of eating meat, some people are still hesitant to make the switch from vegetarian meals to ones that include lean meats and chicken. Some people have ethical concerns with consuming meat, and cultural stigmas can make it difficult for some to cross over to the meat eating side, but the benefits of eating meat are numerous.
Meat is one of the best ways to get the protein that we need in our diet. Unlike vegetarian food, , meat contains all of the essential amino acids that our bodies need. Red meat contains high amounts of iron, which is a concern in the vegetarian diet. A lot of non-meat eaters suffer from iron deficincy in their because they are not getting the essential amino acids, iron and protein that are found in meat
What Are the Benefits of Drinking a Lot of Water?
Think back to when you were in high school chemistry class. Remember the formula for water? H2O. Two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen. Water is supposedly colorless, tasteless, and odorless. Drinking water is essential to all known forms of life, whether they are plant or animal life.
1. Brain. Brain cells that have plenty of drinking water are able to circulate fresh, oxygen-laden blood more readily. The brain remains fresh and alert. Even a small drop in drinking water levels can make your brain’s performance level drop as much as 20 to 30 percent!
2. Muscles. Muscle cells with a ready supply of drinking water are able to work longer without tiring. Water delivers a continuing supply of oxygen to muscles. If you are exercising in warm weather, your muscle will need more drinking water every 15 minutes to remain strong.
3. Cooling system. Your body’s temperature is maintained through drinking water. The water regulates body temperature through sweat. To maintain a normal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit on hot days, or when exercising, the body sweats. Sweat cools the body, but sweat uses up water. We must have a lot of drinking water to replenish the supply.
4. Nerves. Nerve cells transmit messages to and from the brain. To do this, they must use electrolytes. Drinking water is an important way to maintain electrolytes at the proper level so that the nerves can do their work.
5. Stomach and Intestinal Tract. Our bodies use drinking water to digest food in the gastrointestinal tract. Insufficient drinking water will slow the process, resulting in constipation and other medical concerns.
6. Eye and Mouth Protection. Water keeps your eyes and mouth moist. It washes dirt and dust away from your eyes.
7. Joints. Drinking water is like oiling your body’s joints. Water lubricates the joints, keeping them flexible, and ensuring smooth motion.
One of the most important benefits to drinking a lot of water is the benefit realized in the kidneys. Urine, which is almost entirely water, removes waste products from the body. As it does so, it leaves your body. Your body must replace that water. Get too little drinking water, and toxic levels of waste build up. The body becomes ill, and eventually dies.
What are the benefits to drinking a lot of water again ? Health, energy, and life......

i was checking to see if anybody was gonna bring this up & if not i was gonna go in. Whole different set of rules apply to weightlifters. brown rice and sweet potatoes are your friends if you work out. Good post.
I'd give a year off my life for the baby to conclude by saying "Allah Akbar!" and then drop the mic and walk off stage.
I'll keep this in mind, thanks.
