I had been going to the gym for a year, this was a while back when I first started exercising. I had a trainer. Regular sessions, he'd get on my case even when it wasn't session time. After a year, I weighed the same. I asked what was going on. He said I was doing all the work correctly, but that wasn't the problem. He gave me three words of very sound advice. Shut your mouth. It's all a little different for all of us, but it mostly comes down to what we eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear my metabolism has just about shutdown because I think I eat fairly well, but my weight has crept up.

I do get an occasional milkshake. But, it is a treat. Never drink your calories. Try MyfFitnessPal, or something else, for a week or a month. Don't try and stick with the calories they recommend, just use it as a reality check. Be brutally honest and track absolutely everything. If you have three almonds, put them in. A 1/2 glass of orange juice, that too. One beer after a rotten day, yup, put it in. I agree with @FaQ that a calorie is not a calorie. I never felt that way in the past, but I agree with it, to a point. I don't bye in to the full Keto idea, I believe it will be remembered as just another fad diet. I think the food we eat is often not food, and it is not the food our grandparents ate. It is super processed and that is really hard to avoid. All things in moderation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna rail on DH for her use of the word 'fad' in another thread, but couldn't get around to it, so I will here. Telephones were a fad, radios were a fad, televisions were a fad, oral sex was a fad, labradoodles were a fad, anal sex was a fad, smartphones were a fad. These fads all stood the test of time. For instance, I am typing this on a smart phone while having anal with a labradoodle right now. If that is a fad, count me in! Anyway, with word spreading about things that actually work for some or the many, people that can stick with them because they are effective. You are on a fad diet right now that works for you at the moment. Gluten problems? Just a fad, right? Fasting does make intuitive sense in lots of ways, it just becomes a willpower issue for most. Keto works for lots of people, but they might grow tired of it just like most vegans get tired of it and go on to something healthier, it isn't the end of the world. Anyway, you can't discount something because you don't understand it (or refuse to) or don't like it (like those stupid yogurt words you constantly rail against). They are all fun to troll-rail against, though. 16 minutes ago, Square Wheels said: Holistic medicine is likely far superior to pill pushing Western medicine.

Using a dead and stupid language honors nothing, and it is offputting. "Oh, look at me, using words no one really knows so I can appear to be 'spritual' is some pompous nitwit fashion". No thanks.

My instructor says the "insert strange word" and then she will say or Cobra pose. She is very clear. The class does get somewhat hippy with the get in touch with your body (you know all about that) and she talks about affirmations and healing.

I probably wouldn't get along with her. I get annoyed with people who identify as "spiritual but not religious". To me, that just translates into "confused". Constant affirmations are for the weak. Plus, just say cobra pose and not be all poser about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petitepedal ★ Posted October 9, 2019 Share #32 Posted October 9, 2019 In the US Yoga is pretty much...exercise Origins were that these poses would help with meditation after a sequence of poses your mind would be more in tune during meditation...a spiritual practice..not a religion.....By the time Yoga trended toward the US it was exercise...in the early 1900's the poses became part of physical training...and the spiritual aspect meh not so much.....As with everything...it is swinging to more spiritual again...but don't worry it will not swing that way in the West....here it is all about fitness.

It stems from a certain culture, and has evolved into something very cool that other cultures have embraced. So Fing what? Not sure why people are so bitter about something that is bringing me a lot of joy. It is healing me. Although, I know my dearest @Randomguy is really just messing with me. We talk often and I know he is poking to josh me and see if he can get me riled up. No one should ever take RG serious. he is like me, with the severed hand. I just googled Hinduism and their belief structure is kind, moral and makes a lot ore sense to me than much of the other organized religions. I see no problem with this. I will embrace Ganapati for strength against the naysayers. That is all. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that I have cried during practice. It was unexpected and overwhelmed me. Felt good, and my instructor said that it was a great sign that I am getting down to inner business so to speak. Since then, I am feeling much more peaceful and happy. Don't care if anyone believes in it, or thinks it is Hindu. If so, fine. I am becoming Hindu.

There is no hijacking here. If you have a problem with facts, either accept them or reject them and move on. Your choice doesn't change the facts though. The Verdas spawned four religious disciplines, Yoga, Hinduism, Jainism and Bhudism. The mention of one is no different than the others. At least learn what you preach.
