yeah, the mods can move it into another forum. Because they have awesome powers.

Not having caffeine in my diet worked for me. Strangely enough, I didn't even notice the coke falling out of my diet. My thirst for it just faded away.

Two, you rock. That's great advice. One of the many things that has happened me over the now-nearly five months is that coke disapeared from my diet. I suspect this has had a bigger impact on my health and wellbeing than I really give it credit for. A few weeks ago, I tryed to drink coke --...

Also, thanks to everyone who popped out to the wordwook to defend the existence of the philosophy of science. I've been out most of the day, so I havn't really been able to. My writing sample was a philosphy of science paper. Its describes why it is that we shouldn't just write off all ad-hoc...

You know, I don't really know what this means. Does drinking 3 to 4 liters of water mixed with good stuff let your body release older water? Also, I've felt as if my intensines have shrunk. I don't have a way to emperically observe that, but it sure is how I feel. and its in line with what the...

I'm not majoring in "Philosophy of Science". I got my two bachelor degrees a year ago, as of May. I said I'm a Philosopher of Science because its a cool name, and more or less accurate. Its accurate in that I've had many courses in the philosophy of science, and its what I'll be doing in the...

Best. Reply. Ever. Seriously. But don't worry, nobody has discouraged me from my diet. I know it works. And its worked for everyone that has tryed it. And, besides, Julie of "How Stuff Works" agrees with me. What still bugs the analytical part of my brain is those missing 7 pounds or so...

Wow. This amazes me. Really. You're asserting that you know a *whole* lot more than you do. Here's something experts rarely know: You're area of expertise does not make you an expert in other areas.

And like I said earlier, I'm a soon-to-be graduate student. In mostly the philosophy of science. At a damn-good school. The only Canadian school I applied to was Western Toronto. They're the only school (of 12) that I never heard back from. It makes me sad, I wanted to leave America.

That wasn't help, it was an observation. And a mean one.

Actually, even worse than the Housewives ... I've gotten suckered into watching both Survivor and Amazing Race. And that's worse.

Torm, there is a subset of scientists -- and there's this subset in every discipline -- who prove there worth by knocking down what other people do. Its normal to see it in the newly educated. The less dry the ink, the more likely the attitude is. After years of being at the bottom rung of a...

Did you miss the point of my math? Completely? The 2700 calories is my maintenance. Then I started finding out how much I had burned. Then I found out how much LESS that was than the 10 pounds. And it was most of it. So, :p It was done on the quick, so it might've been wrong. Anybody want to...

Never claimed I was. What I have said, multiple times, is that I'm a philosopher. Of Science.

I blame mostly the scientific community being ingrained in its current dogma. In the history of everything that's cool, there comes a point where it is heavily weighed down by its awesome history and finds it hard to get aware from the memes it has accepted. the scientific community is no...

No problem. There have been a lot of misunderstandings in this thread, and I think you're the first to be big enough to admit it. But, I wasn't eating. I was on a completely liquid diet. But, as for not taking in anything for a week? That *would* be asinine. The Grade B Maple Syrup contains a...

Torm, mine wasn't an ad hominem. And it was, what shall I say, when I was a little angry. And its what I think about a lot of modern medicine is general nowadays. Not just in this thread, but in general. When I was a kid, I was given an inhaler for what was pretty mild asthma. I wasn't really...

This is just getting downright unfriendly. How're they swindling anything? Burroughs is dead. Everything I got for it, I got either from Walmart or from the local health food stores. Nobody associated with Master Cleanser got a dime. Unless you're claiming they are in collusion with the makers...

Here's the hard one. :) At one time, the atkins diet had no basis in scientific fact. Go back far enough, neither did non-uniform ciruclar movement of the planets. Same goes for everything that has been tryed. Saying that isn't now backed by science does not say that it is wrong, just that it...

Duh. Again, I wasn't starving myself, which I've stated many times. I was getting around 1200 to 1500 calories a day, and a whole lot of carbohydrates.
