    I wonder if bacteria control us.

    Hahahaha this evoked some fun images in my mind.

    The more I hear about how our gut biomes affect our mood and thoughts and hunger and health, the more I wonder...are they just managing our bodies for their own purposes? NEFARIOUS purposes, of course.

    2. Alcohol is poison to the body and the first thing to be evacuated from the body when drank. I do not believe it is processed/metabolized the same way in the body and the calories shouldn't count as 1:1.

    I like to believe this theory.

    Liquid calories do not count the same as solid calories.

    Let me have my fantasy please.

    Question, when we ladies get extra hungry around our cycle, is our TDEE actually higher for a few days?

    Maybe it's because our bodies are gearing up to replace the blood & iron lost at that time?

    That makes sense :)

    Once again awesome thread, girlviernes. It was from a couple days ago, but I laughed about the question of contention on MFP boards being hanger. I always wondered about that, too!! Interesting to see all the internet is contentions, though. :/ And also from earlier.... alcohol. Don't understand it. Evidently, the thermic effect is quite high, such that bodies reap only 5 kcal/g vs. the 7kcal/g generally cited, but even THAT discount does not fully explain human observations.

    ETA: I also wondered if roids might be underlying some of the aggression :o

    That's awesome, I want to print that out and put it on my fridge for some reason. Or, on the fridge at work....

    I think I'm supposed to be a mean poster (at least I got a random email telling me that one time), so I will state unequivocally that I have never used 'roids. My lean body mass supports me on that.

    I'm so glad people are talking about the gut micro-biome on here!! I wonder if some people with really fierce sugar and carb cravings have candida overgrowth.

    OH btw I saw an article this morning about some clinic out east that will pay you for your poop if the fauna are right. I think it was like $40 per grumpy!
