Essentially those processed foods are going to fuck you up by making you more hungry. They are also more carb/fat heavy and less protein dense, meaning you have to go through a lot more calories to get the same level of protein.

documented this weight gain even though each meal offered on the two different diets contained the same total amount of calories, fats, protein, sugar, salt, carbohydrates and fiber

That means every minute on the minute he does those three movements. For 10 minutes. Emom is one of the styles crossfit uses. Sometimes people AMRAP (as many repetitions as possible) the last set too.

What We Do In The Shadows, the TV show, had a good line about crossfit(virgins) this week. I like it alot but there's usually only 1 good joke per week, which I guess it's actually a decent score. This week had 2 I guess.

Making fun of a virgin for doing crossfit is like making fun of fat people when they exercise. In fact most the time, it is literally that.

They are actively doing something to fix the problem -- get off their back.

It’s been the majority of what I eat, I think I’ve actually been losing weight on them cause only like 900 calories + whatever random food I eat. I liked them cause I could eat that and not worry about food anymore for the rest of the day. Local grocery store but yeah... I’m done with finals week so I’m not gonna eat them anymore.

Switching it up to subway or wawa probably a good idea though. Think it was Redgar whose 1200 diet plan for me years ago was a subway sub cut in thirds and eaten throughout the day.

You would think so, but there’s that first pass of the liver you have to consider. Oral route for estrogen drops its bioavailability to something like 5%, whereas transdermal, sublingual, and buccal routes are as good as you can get short of injections. I dissolve mine under my lip and it takes a couple hours to disintegrate and absorb, so I generally try to take my pills after I’m done eating so I don’t swallow any.

Here’s more information if you’re still curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8530713/

Hope this helps!
