Just started Workaholics. I think TPB > workaholics.

Re Mitch and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead:

I agree that it makes it seem like juicing is some miracle weight loss. The thing is more so them making thier bodies healthy to cure disease. It works and should work when you only consume micronutrients. I feel like the standard person who us 25 pounds over weight will juice for a week and be pissed they arent down 15 pounds.

ha, i started on this mission about a year ago and got about 70 episodes deep before taking a long hiatus. Its a good show to have on that you don't have to be fully focused on.

I don't think it's realistic to expect yourself to watch every episode in order of classic sitcoms (other than the sublime, such as Seinfeld). There needs to be some guide somewhere that gives you a solid sampling of episodes to watch for all the great shows.

Yes.

And as a warning their deal with Starz runs out at the end of the month. That finally made me decide to watch Party Down. I'm glad I did, great show.

well, there isn't. i'd be fine with a guide that told me about 30 episodes to avoid. i don't think i am going to make it through all of cheers anyway - that's not really my intent.

If it were me I'd probably watch the pilot plus maybe a couple of more, then start finding discussions on "best episodes" and skip around to those. If renting on DVD I'd watch all episodes on the discs that I rented which contain what are consensus "best" episodes.

I have theoretical plans to do this some day with Cheers, I Love Lucy, Three's Company, The Golden Girls, The Honeymooners (only 39 episodes so maybe this could be done completely) and Small Wonder.

I recommend everybody watch the documentary "Fat Head."

It basically ****s all over modern nutritional philosophies and will change your outlook on food/blow your mind.

Wat? Hardly. To me (and I only made it about 30 minutes before I had to skip through the rest), the movie is just as ridiculous as the movie it was making fun of (Super Size Me).

This guy's premise: eating fewer calories (doesn't matter what it is) than you are already consuming = weight loss. What's mind blowing about that?

Whats mind blowing is how many people this is mind blowing to. Youd be surprised how complicated people make everything about food.

Uh, from the film


"BOLOGNA: If you just consume fewer calories, you'll lose weight."

As I recall the film is like half a libertarian manifesto about the government pushing terrible nutritional guidelines and half low-carb scientific claims.

I was very knowledgeable about Keto dieting before watching the film and how beneficial it was to health so I figured it would be mind-blowing by being presented in a sort of dumbed down manner for people who were firm believers that "fat" makes you fat. Heck the guy even proved how you could eat fats and proteins while keeping your carbs down via FAST FOOD and lost 12.25 lbs and 3% body fat in a month. He also debunked so many commonly used nutrition "facts."

I've recommended it to a few friends and they were all blown away and are considering the change to a low carb diet after seeing this film. Maybe I should "recommend" it to everyone who is a believer that what the government is telling them about nutrition is 100% true.

I don't know how anyone can watch a sitcom out of order, especially if it's over and you have the shot to watch it completely in order. Seinfeld I understand, even Curb or 2 1/2 Men to an extent, but assumed Cheers has lots of storyline arcs that go whole seasons and you'd be missing out if you watched selected episodes.

If you only watched the first half hour then you are in no position to criticize because the first half hour just basically focused on Spurlock's documentary and how it was wrong. The rest of the film is where the actual scientific nutrition information is presented.

Fair enough, but saying, "Fettuccine is a heart-attack on a plate" then they spend five minutes interviewing people on the street asking how many servings of fettuccine they've had in their lives and how many heart attacks they've suffered is ******ed. I mean, is it supposed to be a joke? It looks like a joke, but then they do it again with a burger and other similar topics.

Going to people on the street and showing them a big mac and saying, "This is 600 calories. If this was written on the box would you not eat it?" Come on... fat asses trying to lose weight in California see the calories on the screen and may order a smaller portion of fries or cut a meal later. Calories in fast food establishments are helpful, as most people have little clue how many calories are in what they're eating, and obese people tend to estimate on the real low side.

Saying that Micheal Jordan is considered obese by BMI standards. Ridiculous. Again, is this a joke? Doesn't seem to be. BMI specifically states it is not for athletes, or anyone with a muscular build, nor is it a substitute for a physician's evaluation.

Saying things like this is highly disingenuous and will turn people off, as it makes you appear to have an agenda instead of presenting unbiased truths.

BMI is useful for seeing if someone is a complete fatass, an even bigger fatass, or completely disgusting fatass. Anything lower than that, it's almost meaningless.
