Some of you may already know this, but I found it interesting.

For every pound you lose, you burn about 8 less calories per day....so if you lose 30 pounds, that's 240 calories.

In other words, if you lose 30 pounds, you also have to cut 240 calories from your maintenance diet.

After a significant weight loss or change in body composition you must recalculate your BMR.

Excellent!!!
	Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction.

It has my Diabetes T2 under control. I have been fortunate not to ever gain much weight since I turned 30. Was about 205 then, and the same now at 65. "Don't hate me 'cause I'm pretty."
	Karl Popper's "Paradox of Tolerance". If we tolerate intolerance, intolerance will flourish. In other words: if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually destroyed by the intolerant. Tolerating bigotry allows bigotry to spread. Exclusion isn't always a dirty word. Tell your local Nazi to F off today.

I thought this thread was going to say that Russia has more calories than we do and is starting to deploy them in Cuba.
