Guest Rabid Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Tuna have some mineral (I think selenium) that helps your body process mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 but tuna contains mercury...canned tuna less as the fish are smaller, but albacore/ahi/premium tuna have a lot, not supposed to eat it more than once a week. This is widely documented... http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/tuna.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 That is interesting but "According to a recent study by the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council" makes me chuckle, sounds like a group paid for by the fishing industry to rescue the image of their product. I'll stick with the established view for now http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/dining/23sushi.html sushi from 5 of the 20 places had mercury levels so high that the Food and Drug Administration could take legal action to remove the fish from the market.

chassis Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 I had some beer and then I ate a cookie. So hard to remember dietary need when you're pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 i'm on a diet to lose about thirty pounds. it's nothing special or complex. i am basically counting calories via this app i have on my iphone and jogging for a half-hour a day on the treadmill. i need to find a better iphone app to use though, because the one i have is slow and crashes all the time... anyway, i've lost ten pounds so far. it appears not eating much and exercising actually works. who knew however, because i've had exams for the past week and a half, i've been eating out of stress, which sucks. it's really, really hard for me to control because it's a way to distract myself from having to study and, believe me, i love finding distractions. that's why i started using reddit. but i've told myself that i'll get back on track either tomorrow or monday. you know, boot up the old calorie app again and start exercising more. shit's difficult.

You're in my boat hoodie. I just finished my exams today, fucking whey hence being pissed. But eating out of boredom/distraction is a proper killer. I have coffee to distract me though and now even decaf. It might seem obvious but instead of eating when you're bored, fill a big 2 litre bottle of water and drink it instead. If you like to nibble for something to do, you'll love drinking. Certainly help me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I've lost 20lbs so far this year without starving myself or massively changing my diet, just by counting calories – there are many great free iphone apps (lose it) and websites (daily burn / calorie king) that make this very simple to do. yo, i just downloaded "lose it" and it works so much better than the old app i used. much faster and the menus are less clunky. very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
