Hey, whatever has happened to garlic? It used to have such a nice flavor; now all it does is burn my tongue. I tried gently sauteing a small amount and my eyes watered. Have the frankenfoods people killed the taste while attempting to lessen the odor? Does fresh garlic still have the great...

Looking to see if anyone has tried human breast milk for gaining. Did it work? Did you like it? Not a fetish thing just seriously asking if its something you did or want to do. What was the experience? How did you find it? And was it worth it?

Anyone else face these medical issues? Makes it really hard when being self-employed, stressed a lot and always gimping or hurting from gout to really focus on myself but I'm starting today to 110% try. I used to be fit, athletic, healthy and now at only 33 years old I'm fat, sick and always...

Any of you have any experience with Kombucha? If so, what benefits do you see or not see from using it. I tried for the first time a couple months ago and hated it, but tried yesterday and actually thought it tasted pretty good. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

So this past week or so I've discovered the line of Zevia sodas, which is pretty much described as carbonated water with natural flavors that tastes like soda. For those unfamiliar with ithis product and are curious, check amazon... I tried posting the link but my post count is less than 50 so the...

I plan on taking a month off from training to recover. I've been cutting for a few months. While on this break I want to preserve muscle mass. Should I continue cutting (at a 500cal deficit) or eat at maintenance? Also, would eating at a minor deficit (like 100cal) be a way to still burn...

When one cooks rice in a stock or bone broth, do the nutrients, macro (carbs, proteins, fats) and micro (vitamins, minerals, etc.), get absorbed into the rice or are those nutrients lost to the cooking process? I would also be interested in other starches like quinoa, potatoes, cous cous, etc....

Thomas DeLauer: is he a quack? I watch his videos, find them informative, but since nowadays so many youtube videos have "SCIENCE" in their title, when it's just random people who have no academic background, is DeLauer "legit"?

I've been looking at protein recipes (bars, icecreams, fluff) and many of them use Xaneth Gum, Guar Guar or Gelatin. For the most part they seem to be interchangeable but I'm wondering which one is the best, most versatile, cheapest and lowest calorie option? What do you use and what do you...

I am having these annoying problems at my current gym. Let me list them: 1. The idea of reracking weights is completely absent there. It's extremely rare to see ANYONE taking the weights off the bar after they are done. The benches, squat racks, etc are often to be found with plates already...

I've heard many times that the recommended intake when cutting while minimizing muscle loss Is 2.3-3.1 kg Is this to be multiplied by lbm or total mass?
