And now for my own question: What are the best ways for someone to exercise/lose weight without walking? I figured swimming is probably the best option but let's say they don't have access to a pool. Would pushups, situps, etc., be the best option?

There are videos online for chair yoga, chair tai chi, chair weightlifting, etc. Modified Pilates circuits are a great way to strengthen the core. Traditional sit-ups aren't great for the back or neck. Weight loss is mostly diet, though. Edit: I assumed the person couldn't walk or had limited mobility here. With average mobility but no access to a gym, stumptuous.com is a great resource. AlbieQuirky fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Sep 10, 2015 |

Lift weights, do body weight resistance exercises, cycle, swim, elliptical, rock climbing, whatever. Lose weight? Eat fewer calories than you burn, weigh and measure your food and track it with an app like MyFitnessPal, then weigh yourself regularly and adjust your intake until successful. You can only out run/swim/lift so many chocolate bars (that number is 3). You have to eat less than you burn to lose weight.

My question: for people on a Paleo eating regime, why are seed flours (buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, etc.) considered to be nutritionally superior to grain flours (wheat, rice, corn, etc.)?

If your goal is to lose weight you need to focus on your diet and lowering your calorie intake. You're not going to lose weight by walking and probably not any other exercise realistically. If you walk 1 hour a day you might burn like 200 calories. That's 3 oreos. You can burn more calories by running or maybe bicycling but you have to do it like an hour a day. And even if you are doing that if you're not monitoring your diet you'll probably end up eating more to make up for those calories burned during your exercise.

I mean, I'll humor this. The logic of paleo is that processed grains are the product of agriculture and should be minimized or omitted, some grains are worse because they contain gluten which is hard to digest. Agriculture is new and our bodies haven't had time to adapt to it, so we should try to eat the diet to which our bodies were accustomed prehistorically. The "natural" diet is primarily vegetables, some meat, and a bit of fruits with a little bit of wild grain thrown in there occasionally. Ideally, macronutritionally, your diet should be lower in simple carbs, higher in fiber and protein and low in foods that produce inflammation like some seeds and white potatoes. My takeaway is that it's not a terrible way to eat since the basic message is "eat lots of vegetables and less liquid sugar and pig buttholes", which will obviously be more healthful than the opposite, but for reasons unrelated to evolution or Paleolithic eating habits. You go down the crazy hole when people insist on eating facsimiles of stuff like pizza or muffins anyway, even though there's obviously nothing "paleo" about a crust made entirely out of almonds and ground beef.

I swear I once saw a move that had a line that was something like: "I'm sympatico with you, are you sympatico with me?" I might be remembering that line wrong, but I definitely remember the word 'sympatico' being used in the sense of 'we have similar feelings about this thing' or 'we are alike' but when I try to google it, I can't find any definition that matches this. Maybe I'm spelling it wrong or maybe it's not a commonly used word? Anyone have an idea of the movie I'm thinking of? Or disregarding that, if this is a word at all?

Just learned about the Schengen Area - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area#Stays_in_excess_of_90_days My understanding from reading the article is that if I spend 2 months in Spain - I can only spend a month in any country within the schengen area? So what would happen if I stay 3 months in Spain and then try to fly into Netherlands? Also, what is the deal with Romania? It shows as "legally obliged to join".

I go to her house and it's nothing but heroscape terrain, legos, and DnD mini-figs How do I store all this poo poo in a way that keeps it portable and seperated? The 7 hex tiles are about the size of the palm of my hand (for reference.) I'll be posting this also in the GM advice thread. I know it's like $150+ worth of Heroscape tiles but I don't want to flip it.

I phrased my question poorly. My apologies. I don't actually want to discuss the merits/demerits of Paleo eating, but to know the explanation Paleo advocates advance for considering seed flours superior to grain flours. Or at least a pointer to where to look for that? I've been through the prominent websites like Mark's Daily Apple, Robb Wolff, Chris Kresser, the Hartwigs, and haven't been able to pick out a focused discussion of this point.

As an English-language loanword, it retains the spelling common to Italian and Spanish, simpatico. The movie doesn't ring a bell, but people said "simpatico" a lot in the 70s and 80s in the U.S., then it kind of fell out of favor here.

kapalama posted:One interesting things I saw someone working on, but never saw for sale was a generator driven by a stationary bike. SO you could only watch TV when you were pedaling to keep in on. It's probably because that's a spectacularly dumb idea. It's not to hard to set up a stationary bicycle as a power source. Slap some magnets on bicycle wheels, wrap some wires around them, and you have a basic generator. Even without getting into the issue of whether a stationary bicycle could generate enough electricity to power a TV, there's also the issue that the most efficient way to power the generator is to keep the bicycle wheels as frictionless as possible. The problem is that most pieces of exercise equipment, like exercise bikes, usually offer some sort of artificial resistance, and that would make trying to generate electricity from them a pain in the rear end. So people would go from an almost frictionless bike that might be able to power a TV, to a bike with slightly more resistance, where the TV shuts off and on at random. It's a hell of a lot easier to just buy a stationary bike, then park it in front of the TV. Thousands of gyms do something similar. As for how to lose weight, it's not that difficult. If you burn more calories than you take in, then you will lose weight. It's not exactly rocket science. Skip the double cheeseburgers for lunch and order a salad. You don't have to go all in on some fad diet. Odds are that if you go with a fad diet you're just gonna get pissed off when you can't eat your favorite food and gobble down some potato chips and baloon up again. I've seen the Atkins dieters go a week of eating nothing but meat, then they wanted to eat all the bread. You're much better off with the basic, eat less, exercise more diet plan. It's not an easy answer, but I have found it easier to stick with. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Sep 11, 2015 |

If that helps I lost 5 kilos in a month just by eating less and doing 1 hour of stationary bike every day. No more soda, no more biscuits, eat fruit and drink water instead, you can still have a special dessert every once in a while.

Most broth is roasted bones (or fish carcasses, veg peelings, w/e) with aromats like onion, celery, etc. to enrich the flavour. Bone broth is just the bones, creating something that tastes worse than real broth but that hipsters can charge through the nose for.

Busy Bee posted:Just learned about the Schengen Area - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area#Stays_in_excess_of_90_days Yes, you can only spend 90 days at a time inside the Schengen area. If you want to overstay your visa and come to the Netherlands after spending your 90 days in Spain, I'd advise you not to fly but go by car. But overstaying your visa could lead to problems once you leave the Schengen area, since immigration will see when you entered when they put the exit stamp in your passport. So I'd really advise you to not do this. Being deported isn't a problem when you want to travel back, but possibly being barred from entering Europe in the future obviously is. Romania and Bulgaria need to implement Schengen at one point, because they're continental EU members (as opposed to the UK and Ireland, who form their own Common Travel Area). But the Netherlands (and possibly Denmark? I'm not sure anymore) doesn't trust them to do a good job of protecting the outer borders or whatever, so they're not fully in yet.

So people would go from an almost frictionless bike that might be able to power a TV, to a bike with slightly more resistance, where the TV shuts off and on at random. This is solved by introducing a few basic principles of physics. Namely, a big flywheel turned by a little gear train. The wheel's mass across the gearing provides the resistance, you get a lot more power than you would manually turning a wheel, and the wheel continues to spin without input and you don't get constant outages.

Do I have a reason to be concerned when my roommates: 1) Pour water straight from our shared pitcher into their mouth (without physical contact) and 2) Store cooked food uncovered in the fridge? Both practices seem really gross to me but I'd like to know if I'm overreacting.

I don't see how either of those would negatively affect you. Be glad they are courteous enough not to put their lips on the shared water pitcher. Uncovered food in the fridge will not be good eats for your roommates, but it shouldn't affect you. You can put a box of baking soda in the fridge if you are worried about smells.

How does food sealed in a container with air from outside the fridge and then chilled differ from food chilled in the fridge, whose air is also from outside the fridge? The only thing I could think is that moisture escapes and gets dried out by the evaporator, and for some foods (ie steaks) that can actually be a positive.
