Well put sir. I would also like to make the point that in the moment I don't necessarily analyze and extrapolate like I am now. In fact for the most part I don't at all, and this being an internet forum it's hard to observe the social skills of those involved which plays a huge role in how we...

For sure. I subscribe to non-aristotelian logic, but that's merely as a means of widening my own personal perspective. I would say to your analogy that there are not in fact two-sides of the coin, and if there are it's only because we the observer have invented said sides. Accepting the...

So you shed one belief system for another one. Still puts you in a mode of ignorance. The problem with believing anything is not that we turn a blind-eye to everything else, but more importantly a blind-eye to that which we have begun to believe. As soon as anything is assimilated as a belief...

Why must I have 20 post to send a message to other users besides mods and also to post links? It's not NLP, but plays a part in it, and NLP what in part was got me interested in General Semantics. Fufu - well anyway - thought I'd throw some names at you for lite reading purposes. Much of what...

You hit the nail on the head. I could have and would be willing to expound further, but I mean...it's a internet bodybuilding forum so...yeah. Explaining the failings of semantics and symbols with semantics and symbols is difficult to say the least, but it's the only avenue available. The map...

Too Long, Don't Read! I agree that it's something worth looking into. In fact it's the entire reason for my posting. Belief is ignorance in action. Belief is the death of intelligence. I know my post may seem roundabout, but that's only because the first couple of post I made in this thread...

In advance - TL;DR I agree, but it's also important for me to offer at least an alternative perspective on the matter, and to back said alternative with sound logic and empirical evidence. Basically, my assertion has been that most psychological disorders behave in like but to varying degrees...

I haven't disagreed with you once. I merely made the point that the methodology is inconsequential. At the end of the day you can argue every variable, and create ever connection possible in defense of your position, but the truth is that things that operate within our physical reality operate...

I never said prayer, meditation, and hypnosis weren't valuable methods of therapy. I merely stated that their effectiveness in food addiction therapy could be likened too their effectiveness in smoking addiction, drug addiction, etc. Energy in, Energy out. Take in less then you put out, and...

Brain-washing yourself into losing weight is probably not very good for anything other than losing weight. Belief is the death of intelligence. The reason why people continue to eat in an unhealthy manner is because they're addicted to food. My opinion? This works only insofar as meditation...

Thanks for the help and the advice. Eliminating all the variables is the key to success for me; so a little micro-management is necessary for me to feel comfortable with my plan going forward.

250-300g protein / 75-100g carbs / 100-130g fat 2000-2400 calories a day. I don't weigh my food. Over the course of a day I'd give the variation a smaller margine of error then that however that's a broad spectrum as some days I take in less carbs and likewise fat, not intentionally, but by...

There's way too much pressure to have a "big dick" and to "satisfy your woman" these days. That shit leads to worse sex. Performance issues, sexual frustration, way to much bullshit anxiety. You can't do anything about your penis, but you can do something about who you're fucking. Any girl I'm...

I'm not overly concerned with maximum muscle retention during the cut. I realize that more muscle is beneficial to fat loss, however, I don't feel it's as important to me as say a strength athlete or someone who's new to the weight room. In other words, I'm willing to take the loss in muscle...

I'll see if I can address the questions and concerns without quoting directly. Built - I've read the sticky. I'd say I'm pretty informed. I've lurked the boards for 5-6 years now at different points looking for training,supplemental, and diet advice. The main question is still as stands. I can...
