comment What to replace large quantities of meat with in my diet?
Don't pay too much attention to that article. Eat your red meat! I don't know much about UK government agencies, but if they're anything like the USDA, their recommendations are biased and rarely backed-up by (good) science. Red meat - steak, in particular - has a lot of nutrition in it.

comment Is it true that you can eat anything you want within 15 minutes of working out without putting on weight?
@md5sum - We're talking about food intake after a workout. You're not looking for a quick energy boost at that point, rather recovery help.

@md5 Everything you ate you didn't burn DURING REPAIR, which should be quite a bit more than otherwise. Steroids aside, all the big gym rats get big by eating first and foremost! They don't get fat even though they take in a ton of calories, and it can't all be explained by calories burned during their actual workouts.

@kjy112 erm, chocolate milk with the sugar (or corn syrup, ugh!) that gets dumped in just about any grocery brand? I think I'd stick to regular milk (whole milk too, but I suspect mentioning that could open up a holy war!)

@md5 - no problem with comment delay - just trying to learn here! :-) I think you're right about excess calories, but the question becomes the caloric intake that qualifies as excess. During that state immediately after a heavy workout, "excess" will be much higher than normal.

comment Is there any benefit of “real” running outdoors vs running on a treadmill in gym?
@Jonas - Nothing but your own self-conciousness! :-) but a treadmill is an even constant surface. It's the unevenness of a trail or field that offers the stabilizing exercise.

BTW congrats on the progress. That first 50 pounds, 8-mile walks, and quitting smoking are already tremendous achievements!
