hmm slightly disappointed by some of the recent 'snarky' answers, they have a point but the lack of support for their claims is rather annoying

What do y'all suggest I do when a lot of users consistently answer with unfounded one-liners? Like this one or this or this

You don't have to do anything with them. The votes will take care of them and keep them at the bottom of the stack.

@mootinator it happened...

hey, leave me alone, I like my "fat meter/hydration scale"

although I didn't pay much more for it than just for a digital scale

lol :P

I'm one of those crazy people who weighs every day, so a significant change in hydration or body fat (which are dependent on each other for BIA) tells me that I need to get more or less fluid. That's really my primary purpose. Although it is interesting that it seems to be at least close to accurate in keeping track of my fat when compared to itself

actually I think it's only a couple percent more off than the caliper, so it's not that bad really

anything that keeps you motivated ;-)

when I first started using it I was up close to 30% at 55% hydration, and now it reads 24% at 55%

and I've lost... I think 17 pounds since I started using it, which mathematically is pretty close to right

of course, then again... I've lost 4 pounds this week... and my hydration has remained constant... which has me a little concerned... (I should probably eat a little more)

lol, I only weigh when I feel good :P

else I know it's not worth it anyway

well... I have about a month of "dieting" left to hit my target weight at my current rate

it will be the least I've weighed in like 15 years

actually, I weigh less now than I've weighed in like 10 years

@IvoFlipse what do you think of the pending edit on the canned food question? I still don't really like it...

I haven't looked yet

I was responding to some email I got from a user :)

I'm overall still not happy with the nutritional questions anyway

so I'm probably not the best to ask :P

yeah, I don't mind so much vitamin and supplement questions and like some diet and weight loss stuff... but canned vs frozen vs fresh is something maybe to put on the upcoming vegan site

@md5sum Hah.

I'm not sure if there will ever be an appropriate site for those questions

I wish people turned it around and instead of focusing on unhealthy things, focus on healthy stuff

@IvoFlipse yeah, I know... it just seems that the food-specific questions are argumentative, jaded, and pointed in nearly every case, and appropriate answers chosen are simply based on the most popular opinion.

especially the last part, if only they'd back it up... but no! it's far easier to reap rep by just ranting

yeah, especially if you rant with panache!

LoL... that's awesome!

hah, using sources doesn't seem to do much help. i've gotten down votes on my answers that correlate to actually studies, research, and science. but they are on the holy-war issues :) maybe that has something to do with it. would be nice if an up/down vote required a response of why

been busy today, so been missing you guys today. i'm off to the gym now.
