Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[jave36]

It's easy as hell to intake more than you can possibly burn in a day even if you spend the entire day exercising and have a high metabolism. We have made that not only possible but very easy to accomplish. "Bad" diet as in eating crappy food or too much of it isn't the same as a bad diet that includes some of the caloric monstrosities we have today.

True, there is some nuance. It's a spectrum, not a binary of good or bad diet.

Two different issues we're talking about. I'm saying you could eat fast food every day if you ran an hour a day.

I’m sure some have the time to exercise to do that, but most do not. I know it’s not a formula to lose weight.

I have run 10+ miles per week for a while now. Some are about 10 and some are closer to 17. I might have lost a pound or two here and there, but I’ve mostly stayed static.

Plus, I know exercise helps cholesterol and heart health, but I’m not convinced it eliminates it totally from eating fast foods every day.

So?..if that is what I want I don't want some piece of liberal Big Brother-Aunt Karen a-hole politicial health nazi telling me what I can have or not have.

I only eat meat and green veggies now and I've lost 30lbs since June...but that is because I choose to, not because someone made me feel bad for being overweight.

I gained 58lbs after my mom died last year...depression carb bingeing is very real thing.

I don't care what you eat, personally but what we eat is why we're fat. It's also what we subsidize. Big Brother is picking your food for you whether it's Aunt Karen or R-Cornball. There's a reason HFCS is in everything.

ETA: And anything and everything is forgiven/a possibility when the death of a parent is involved. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I eat a ton of fast food, and I work out a lot. In fact I work out a lot SO I can eat whatever I want.

I used to do the same. As I have gotten older and my priorities have changed, I Just don’t have the time to work out 3 hours a day anymore. Was told by a trainer that when older you can’t out work a bad diet. So I try and limit my intake of the stuff. Plus it doesn’t taste as good as it used too.

junk food demotivates me. dont even like fast food, unless its taco bell. stay away from that.

Did eat an Arbys Chicken Wrap today.

I've not been nearly as impressed with our rb's as many here have been.

Hard to say. Small showed potential last year. This year Small and Evans both hit over 115 in the first game. Evans was out the 2nd game and Small got hurt. The 3rd game I saw little to no push from the line. I am however, not ready to see Wright on the field. He may be great but not yet.

I never do this but I put some $$$ on the Vols at +20.5

My strategy is to bet against us. That way if I lose the bet it means we played well. If I win the bet at least I got paid.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Couldn't disagree more. Some people absolutely can. Every body is different, but I'd say more people than not can out exercise a bad diet.

Until I was in my mid-thirties I was only 185-190lbs and I had to eat huge amounts of food to maintain that. When I was on drugs I actually dropped down to 152 at one point.

I worked in a really physical trade and played basketball at nights in addition to having a high metabolism, but when my back and knees gave completely out, not only was I forced to quit those things, but a well meaning doctor prescribed me Gabapentin for the extreme nerve damage pain I was having...so in 2004 at age 36 I went from 190 to 250 in eight months and it has been a struggle ever since.

It was not uncommon for me to eat 5,000 plus calories in a day back then. I lose weight now just by cutting all carbs out. I still eat 1,500-2,000 calories, but just in meat and veggies and dairy. I lose about a half pound to a pound every week.

I used to do this to and just don’t like myself afterwards

 

[Dudley Smith]

is this the slowest recruiting period of all time?

No juice
--AP

Yeah, on the VQ podcast Hubbs was like “AP, anything going on in recruiting besides Walter Nolen?”

AP: “Nope.”

Blood money

 

[SpringBokVol]

It is really slow - low number of visits and lack of public attention.

 

[UTProf]

I just wouldn't touch the Vols at all when it comes to the spread - not for or against. When you have a team like ours it's playing with fire. We have some talent but we've been an unstable program that has been either overperforming or underperforming against the spread because we've lacked institutional stability and coaching that would make us a more predictable team. That makes it very hard when it comes to pinning down performance in any given game.

I didn't mean you personally..and thanks.

How is it Wednesday of Florida Hate Week and we still don't have a game thread??? @nicksjuzunk is slacking on us

Nick works 14 hour days now with three jobs and gets to it when he scrape together a little time

 

[bignewt]

Blood money

Blood money spends the same I've found.

Sounds like you need to join a union.

I never put money on the Vols..I already get crazy mad when we lose or don't win big enough without adding that into the equation..lol.

You better bulk back up for all that revenge killing you have to do.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Not to get political. But, the FBI can find an 80 year old lady that stepped foot in the Capitol, but they can’t keep an eye on a murderer and his parents when they are in their own house.

It’s nuts

Dude comes back with an empty van and won’t talk to anyone and the law be like

Lol...I hope nobody ever hurts my wife or one of my kids or grandson.

Well, I’m laying in bed tucking in my sick lil dude and trying to get up to see my wife on her birthday before she falls asleep so I’m open for suggestions
