Signs in reduction of belly fat I think you need a bit more detail before we can answer this. Is it softer/spongier than before? What core/abdominal exercises are you doing? What do you mean by "more bulgy"? It's possible that your muscles are developing underneath the belly fat, and that is what is "lumping" your belly, but really hard to tell. |

How to count laps while swimming? That's fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just don't think TI teaches a fast stroke, and Terry has a tenuous grasp of physiology, at least from things he's written to me and stuff he has posted on his website. I would, however, take something with a grain of salt that is posted praising TI, on a blog from the founder of TI. But hey, if it works for you, go for it, all the better! |

Will weight gain improve performance in competitive swimming? Longer arms matter for a couple of reasons - You have a longer pull phase, and you present more surface area of skin to the water. Historically, longer armed swimmers do quite well, as evidenced by Phelps, Thorpe, Popov, et. al. However, having longer arms does not automatically mean you will be a great swimmer, nor does having shorter arms mean you can't be a great swimmer. |

Do NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, etc.) actually speed up healing or do they just mask pain? Well stated on all points. +1 |

Are these Weight Watchers brand foods healthy? mmm....@RobinAshe no, it's not that simple. Potassium can help counter high sodium, but just to simply say to drink more water is a minor mitigating factor at best, and a poor recommendation. Taking more of one thing to counter another thing is a patch, not addressing the root problem. |

Are these Weight Watchers brand foods healthy? Not a lot, but it's already close to 20% of your daily allowance in one serving. You don't have to grill chicken, you can bake/broil it in the oven. As far as high sodium, it can have a lot of different effects. I'd suggest getting a book on basic nutrition from the library and reading through it, you'll be in a much better position to understand what it is you are looking at on labels, etc. |

Does eating Nestle Fitness Cereal for weight loss require other nutrition? @TheChaz - That's for the whole box. Recommended serving is 30g. |

Running and hypertrophy at the same time: is it possible? @RobinAshe - Do you have evidence to back that up? That's a rather blanket statement to make. |

How to count laps while swimming? I have no problem with TI for what it is, a system to teach beginners how to feel comfortable and be able to swim. A lot of beginning triathletes use it. My usual statement is that it allows one to complete the swim, not necessarily compete in it. My main issue with Terry (Laughlin, the creator) was the incorrect pseudo-science he used/uses on his website to promote it. I do think that once you're comfortable in the water and have any competitive leanings, you should get with a good stroke instructor and learn a competition style stroke. |

How to count laps while swimming? Ah, total immersion. I thought it sounded like that, but didn't want to make assumptions. TI is decent, but suffers from some flaws. It's great for beginners to learn how to swim safely, but it's not really great for learning how to swim fast, except for very few individuals it "clicks" for. |
