Apr 28	answered	Which foods increase the insulin production in body ?
Apr 27	comment	Why is fruit good but candy bad? It has a lot to do with other things in fruit that affect the sugar, as well. For example, there are other carbohydrates that alter the insulin response and prevent blood sugar spikes. I seem to recall reading about "fructosides" but am fuzzy on the details.

Apr 8	comment	How does bicycling compare to other exercises when it comes to fat loss? I agree "it takes the same amount of energy to carry weight between 2 places, no matter the speed at which it is tranfered" if the process is the same. But running fast and running slow are different processes, in the same way walking and running are different processes (even if the difference is smaller). I don't agree that the differences are nominal; the example I gave above shows a difference of over 8%.
Apr 8	comment	How does bicycling compare to other exercises when it comes to fat loss? Human running is not a mechanically perfect linear process.
Apr 8	comment	How does bicycling compare to other exercises when it comes to fat loss? This page shows that running 16 km at 8 km/h burns 852 calories, whereas running 16 km at 16 km/h burns 924 calories. Not an insignificant difference. This is besides the fact that people have different styles of running and may become sloppy if running faster or slower, thus wasting more energy.
Apr 8	comment	Is Paleo A good marathon training diet? There is no single "paleo diet", as paleolithic humans ate various things based on location, season, exact time period, culture, etc. Could you provide the exact details of the diet you're following?
Apr 8	comment	How does bicycling compare to other exercises when it comes to fat loss? -1, "it doesnt matter how fast or slow you run, you will only burn X amount of calories for Y distance run" is entirely wrong.
Apr 8	comment	How does bicycling compare to other exercises when it comes to fat loss? @Aaron Agreed, I can bike all day at 15 km/h and only for a couple hours at 40 km/h.
