Readers of Fuck Calories will know that I am not partial to the “calories in, calories out” model of fat loss and lean body mass gain.

There are many reasons for that, one of which is the fact that the quality of your energy intake matters. 1000 calories of Twinkies is not 1000 calories of steak, no matter what idiotic single-food-focused diet you may choose to consume (see: Twinkie diet, cabbage soup, grapefruit, lemon-cayenne-maple syrup, et al).

I hope to help folks understand eventually that energy in vs energy out is not the only thing that determines body composition — your body’s response to a given food also makes a huge difference. (I’ll be harping on this a lot in future, so consider this a warning shot across the bow.)

An interesting, albeit small, recent study correlates protein quality to waist size. What is interesting here is that the researchers stipulate “quality protein”. What the heck does that mean?

Let me explain the concept of essential amino acids (EAAs).

Essential amino acids and protein quality

If there’s one thing Nature does real good, it’s make proteins. (Actually, Nature does lots of things real good.) Oh how organic systems love their proteins. You’re a big pile of protein, from your hair to your toenails.

The building blocks for proteins are amino acids. There are lots of amino acids out there. Sure, we love ‘em all, but there are some that we really need — these are known as essential amino acids. There are also amino acids that are conditionally essential, which means that sometimes we need them more than others. Frinstance, glutamine is a conditionally EAA — we need more of it during times of physical stress, which is why it’s often included in post-surgical nutrition.

Now, what you’re looking for in your diet is a good assortment of these EAAs, and generally (unless you have some kind of intolerance or genetic inability to metabolize certain AAs) getting some of the conditional AAs doesn’t hurt either. Bone broths, for instance, are rich in glycine. (And they taste great! So win-win.)

Some proteins are more equal essential than others

Problem is that not all protein sources are created equal.

Just because something “contains protein” does not mean that the protein source is optimal. Sure, we’re scavengers so we will grab ‘n’ go whatever we can get our greasy little protease enzymes on — we can extract protein from darn near anything edible.

But that protein may not be our best choice. Frinstance, vegetarians often opt for beans/legumes, grains, and nuts as protein sources. (And others of you like to delude yourself that peanut butter is a “good protein source”. Hey man, I get it. Nothing beats scooping out that buttery goodness and feeling morally righteous and nutritionally justified as the silky, sexy, salty, peanutty velvet melts into your soft palate. Unnnngghhh.)

Now, these protein sources aren’t “bad” or “wrong”. They’re just not optimal. Let’s compare.

Here’s a sample of protein ranking according to the PDCAAs score. (Don’t worry about the acronym. Just get the idea.) The PDCAA scores proteins on two things: our amino acid requirements, and how well we can digest these particular proteins.

The higher the number, the better-quality (for us) the protein in terms of giving us the amino acids that we need.

Lab vs real world

I should point out that theoretical digestibility doesn’t always correlate to real-life digestibility.

Although, for instance, whey and casein are highly ranked, many folks actually can’t digest dairy well, and in fact consuming casein/whey is a source of other health problems. Same deal with soy — if you rely on soy as your major protein source you are in for some serious issues. And of course, if you’ve read Fuck Calories, you’ll know how I feel about wheat.

Indeed, some researchers have pointed out that the PCDAAs may over-value certain foods if it looks only at amino acid availability, noting that the PCDAAs ignores the real-world protein quality of the “protein sources which may contain naturally occurring growth-depressing factors or antinutritional factors”.

What this means is that we have to look at the big picture: How does a given food actually behave in a real human body?

Also note that not all of these are whole foods. Casein, whey, and soy protein powders are industrially processed foods that require an elaborate production chain. You know my thoughts on industrially processed foods, which is that in general we should avoid most of them. And unless we’re hardcore bodybuilders, we don’t just eat “casein”, we usually eat something like “cottage cheese”, which contains both whey and casein.

But anyway, just get the general picture here. Some foods are higher in essential amino acids than others. This is what the researchers mean by “quality protein”. More EAAs per gram of food, better protein quality.

Better protein quality means a leaner body?

The Coles Notes version here is that a higher intake of quality proteins is correlated with a smaller waist size, and by inference a leaner body.

Now, you could say the sample is too small to be of use, and that this effect is simply correlation not causation, and you would be correct on both counts from a methodological standpoint. But this general trend  (abundant protein = you get lean & strong) has been confirmed across a zillion other studies.

So again, let’s talk lab vs. real world. I can tell you from my observation of hundreds of clients (yes, real people in the real world, just like you) that it’s very, very hard to get lean and strong, to stay robustly healthy, and to perform well athletically on a low-quality, low protein diet. Period. There are always a few rare outliers who claim to kick ass while living on twigs and sprouts, and more power to ‘em. Likely, those folks are not you.

Conversely, for most folks it’s a lot easier to feel energetic, full, and psychologically satisfied — and get lean — on a diet that includes lots of high-quality protein. Mo’ protein, no problems.

If you don’t incorporate high-quality protein sources into your diet (and let’s be honest, I mean eating something that is an animal or was made by an animal), you’ll likely find it more challenging to get and stay as lean, healthy, and strong as you would like, and you’ll have to rely more on heavily processed foods such as protein powders to bring your intake up to snuff.

People often find themselves in a rush when it comes to travel plans, particularly when they happen to be going out of town or going to a variety of places. It’s also common for last minute travel plans to arise, especially if you happen to work within the business world. One issue that can be a problem is having a passport ready by the time a person’s supposed to travel, which is why some turn to overnight expedited passport methods.

Documentation

Nowadays, you can process your documentation through the mail or in person. However, a lot will also depend on whether or not you meet the necessary qualifications to send your application through the mail. For instance, those who are under 16 will need to go to an agency facility directly. Things might also depend on how much you’re able to afford as well as the amount of time that you have to work with.

Options

People who have more than a month’s time to wait will sometimes use the standard processing option, since it’s generally the least expensive. Even so, this can take four to six weeks to go through. Having the process expedited is also a possibility for some people, which will require an additional fee. Having your documents expedited will take about two to three weeks to process.

Expedited Processing

Those who need a foreign work visa in less than four weeks or those who need a passport in less than two weeks will need to visit the Regional Passport Agency. However, those who are able to have their items expedited also have the option of having their items deliver to them through overnight delivery. This can be an ideal way to cut down on delivery time and will cost a small fee. You can do the same if you have a damaged passport.

Exceptions

Several factors may contribute to the way you apply for a passport. For instance, if you were under 16 and your document was issued more than 15 years prior, you will need to apply for your book in person. The same can also be said for those who are currently 16 or if their book was lost or damaged.

Necessary Documents

If you need to process your documents in person, you’ll need to fill out the proper form. This form must be signed in person. A photo ID and two photographs will be needed as well, along with a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship.

Quick Delivery

Last-minute travel plans can put many people in a rut, particularly when it comes to getting their book on time. However, there are options that you may potentially be eligible for. For instance, you could use a company that specializes in speedy document processing.

Agree or disagree with Barack Obama’s policies, there’s no denying he’s an effective speaker.  Tuesday’s (January 24^th) “State Of The Union” showed, again, that Obama knows how to deliver a message.  As in anything, we can get better at communication skills by watching people who have mastered them.  Let’s break down some of the techniques the President used as he addressed the nation.  We’re not concerned with content, only with delivery, and will focus on three broad areas:  demeanor, mechanics, and techniques.

Demeanor:  Obama was calm and relaxed as he entered the Chamber of the House of Representatives.  As he smiled and shook hands on his way to the podium, he looked comfortable and in control.  Optimism was the theme of the day and it was carried through the entire event, from beginning to end.  Of course, you don’t get to be President without confidence, and Obama certainly seemed to exude poise and self-assurance.  He did stumble a few times in his delivery; but, over the course of an hour, one can expect that.  Mostly, his delivery was smooth and assured.

Mechanics:  The President has mastered the mechanics of public speaking.  He showed solid “technique” in his use of gestures, eye contact and stage presence.   His vocal skills were good; pitch and rate of speed.  I also thought he made good use of the technique of highlighting a point by pausing and using a LOWER tone of voice.  Most often we tend to “crescendo” a particularly important passage in a speech.  Obama talked at such a high energy level that taking it even higher would have been harsh.  Instead, when he wanted to emphasize a point” he often used the “spoken whisper” as a highlight.  It worked.  I thought, as a mater of speech mechanics, that he reached his high energy level too quickly.  Sustaining that energy tires an audience.  But, Obama managed to hold the energy up; in part by effective pausing, giving us all a chance to rest.

Techniques:  The president’s speech was an interesting construction.  The “introductory” portion was long.  But, once in, the President did what all speakers should:  tell us what you’re going to tell us, tell us, then tell us what you told us.  He also used a repetitive “theme statement” when he spoke, often, of an economy or America “built to last.”  He made frequent use of alliteration.  He never used that tool boldly, but often in more subtle ways.  For example, when talking of tax breaks for energy companies he said the tax breaks were going most heavily to companies that “had never been more profitable” instead of those “that had never been more promising.”  Of course, the President made frequent use of the story.  He told the stories of people who had overcome unemployment by making use of a government/private partnership.  He had these people in the audience and directed us to see them; to put a face on his message.

There were, in my opinion, some flaws.  I was a little surprised he didn’t use bigger, grander stories.  But I can appreciate his choices.  The President tried to use humor; talking about a regulation that inadvertently equated milk with oil, requiring dairy farmers to submit a plan to clean up a spill and quipping, here there was good reason to “cry over spilled milk.”  Obama is not Letterman, and though I applaud the effort, it was only fair at best.  I was a bit disappointed that, for me at least, the President did not spell out a clear over-arching vision.  But he did carry through the twin themes of optimism and “built to last” and that seemed to be enough.

There is no doubt the President is a skilled and very effective communicator; and I will leave you with one thought on something I thought the President did particularly well.  He tried very hard, and I think he succeeded spectacularly, in identifying with large segments of his audience.  Several times he spoke of national concerns and expressed his own frustrations.  He essentially said, for example, that: you’re mad at Wall Street, and so am I…you think Washington is broken and so do I…you want the bickering to stop and so do I.  In my opinion, his attempt to make common cause with broad groups and prevailing national opinion was his single biggest accomplishment of the night.

The State Of The Union was a solid performance.  We’d all do well to take bits of the Presidents techniques and incorporate them into our own presentations.

It is a universal requirement that a traveler crossing borders into another country have valid travel documents. In the US, passport renewal is done for those who have one that they obtained at the age of 18 years and above. If it expired more than 5 years, a new one will have to be applied for. Sometimes, one may need to travel as a matter of emergency and they may not have the time to wait for their travel document to be renewed in the amount of time is usually takes. In such cases, expedited U.S. passport renewal services are necessary.

Timeline

There are three ways one can go about getting accelerated renewal. The first option is by mail and the second is sending an application at a regional office. The third and fastest one is using the services of a private expediting services provider. You can get new passport pages faster too.

Postal Service

If the application is being made by mail, one needs to fill out a Form DS-82, the expired document, photos and the required fee. This is sent out in a padded envelope. The word expedite should be clearly marked on the envelope. To shorten the time it takes to get renewal done, this should be sent by overnight express to the national processing center. With a mail application, the process will usually take between two and three weeks. This is not certain however as sometimes the offices are very busy such as around major holidays when many people are traveling.

National Processing

The second alternative is to make an application for expedition to a regional agency. This option is advisable if the document is needed in two weeks, which is the time it takes to get the renewed document if an application is made this way. The first step is to call the national information center and request an appointment.

Travel Seasons

The second option is to have the expedition done by a regional agency. This is the ideal option if renewal is required in less than two weeks. The process is started by making a call to the National Passport Information Center to make an appointment.

DS-82

Depending on circumstances, the document may be needed within a much shorter time like a few days or even one or two. The best option then becomes going to a private expediter. Most of them also offer visa expediting services. This is also a handy option for those who are not near a regional agency. Once it is processed, the expediter mails it to the client.

Private Service

The third option is to hire the services of a private expediter. This is the way to go if the passport needs to be renewed in a very short time such as within a week. It is also a convenient option if one is not near one of the regional offices. Most of these companies also offer visa expediting services. Applying through such a company gives the expediter the mandate to appear on their behalf at the regional offices. Once the document is obtained, it is sent express to the client.

One game system that is very popular has a problem known as the red ring of death, which leads to the system being unusable. Fortunately there is a simple solution to the problem. The information contained in this James Dean 3 Red Light Fix Review, will help you to decide if this is a good solution for your particular situation.

The issue that has so many users looking at their systems like a friend that died is called the three rings of death, charming name right. In short what happens is that the system tends to overheat and as a result will shut the system down. Conventional thought was to wrap a towel around it; this led to bigger issues in the past. It was finally a computer programmer that was able to find a solution to this problem without sending the system to the maker to be fixed. More about this product can be found through the review site.

Because so many users were having this issue, the maker of the solution decided to make it public and in return help other users that had been left without an operational system. The alternative is to at your cost often times send the unit to the maker to be repaired, this is a great idea if you have plenty of time to waste waiting for the unit to be fixed. If you are unsure that you know what you are doing, then this might be an option to do in an effort to fix it correctly. It is also worth noting that this fix that you commence will void any warranty that you have on the system.

So in the end the answer that you are wanting is does the fix work and is it worth the money? The answer is often times a resounding yes. The reason for this is due to the fact that it beats the alternative of shipping it off at your own expense to be repaired.

Ketamine is used primarily as an anesthetic in human beings and in animals. The ketamine medical detoxification has been shown to be effective in patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), a debilitating chronic pain syndrome. It has also been used in the treatment of acute pain, addiction and experimentally to treat depression. It is sometimes used for recreational purposes. It is known by the nicknames, ‘K’, ‘Ket’, ‘Special K’, ‘Vitamin K’, ‘Pony dust’ and others.

Penalties For Possession

In terms of its legal status, it is a Class C drug meaning that it carries lenient penalties for personal possession but it attracts a custodial sentence when found in possession for onward distribution. A few years ago, most of the drug used recreationally came from Mexico. Today, they come mostly from India.

Helpful Uses

The main use of the drug is in anesthetics. It suppresses breathing considerably less than other anesthetics and is often used in children and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma. It is also used in emergency medicine on the battlefield, on occasions when the patient’s fluid status is unknown (at the scene of a road traffic accident, for example) and for patients who have suffered a severe trauma and who are trapped.

CRPS/RSD

CRPS/RSD is a severe, chronic, progressive pain condition. It has autonomic, sensory, dystrophic and motor components (the term, ‘dystrophy’ refers to the degeneration of muscle tissue). The pain is continuous and worsens with time. It may be accompanied by swelling and changes to the skin. It may start in an arm or a leg and and spread to other parts of the body.

Treatment Techniques

There are two recognized approaches to the use of ketamine in RSD/CRPS. One technique involves placing the subject into a medically-induced coma and giving them a large dose of the drug. This modality has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration but is widely used in Germany and in parts of Mexico. The other approach is to give a low dose by slow infusion over a period of a few days. This can be done in a hospital or an outpatient clinic. There is also drug counseling.

Studies

Ketamine has been used successfully in patients with refractory depression. This effect was first noticed when patients being treated for RSD/CRPS reported lower levels of the depression associated with their condition. Because the primary outcome measure in that study was a change in the severity of pain, the improvement in depression was not documented.

Successful Uses

Doctors in Russia have reported promising results using ketamine to treat both heroin addiction and alcoholism. Sixty out of eighty-six alcoholic males remained abstinent for one year using a combination of ‘K’ and psychotherapy. Similar results were achieved with heroin addicts.

If you’ve taken my advice and gotten your busted ass into the gym…

…there – did you survive?

Can you make it through another day? Or did you succumb to complications of terminal self-consciousness and the shame of looking like a goof?

Don’t be fooled by my intoxicating internet charisma and love of dirty jokes – in life, I’m actually quite shy, and like most shy people, I find the thought of being stared at or laughed at positively mortifying. That can make working out in public especially challenging – my body moves differently than most bodies, which tends to attract attention.

And while that attention is almost always kind and well-intentioned, hearing “Are you doing OK, ma’am?” from the sweet little knock-kneed freshman pressing 50 lbs on the next bench over kinda deflates my fantasy of looking like Grace Jones in Conan the Destroyer. Or maybe Lou Ferrigno, with better hair.

Of course, self-consciousness isn’t just the domain of the crippled. Really, anyone whose body looks different – very large or very small, older, in some way not like the manic spandexed Hitler Youth that seem to populate most gym ads – can feel a bit intimidated or awkward in the gym, especially when just getting started.

Thing is, the best way to shake that self-consciousness – the best way I’ve found, at any rate – is to confront it head-on by doing something that looks bizarre and letting the normals stare. Making a spectacle of yourself, in other words.

So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to share a few of my favorite ridiculous exercises for crips and gimps and other weirdos.

The “equipment” for each is cheap or free, and especially beneficial to crippled folks. The “exercises” are silly and fun and they will kick your ass. I have (oh GOD) included pictures to illustrate. Caveat: I’m no expert in wellness or exercise or anything else, so if you wanna try any of the dumb shit I do, please be careful.

Ball Smackin’

Whatcha need: A SOFT medicine ball, like the one here. This one’s 10 lbs, but they come lighter and heavier. I got this one for on sale.

Whatcher gonna do: While sitting, toss the ball as high as you can and catch it as high as you can. When you catch it, slam it to the ground. (If you do it right, your cat should walk out of the room in disgust.)

Alternatively, try tossing as you squat (how’s that for eloquence?). (Don’t knock over the Christmas tree, or you’ll get yelled at – trust me.)

Crip Approved: Because the ball is soft, it won’t hurt you the way a traditional dumbbell or kettleball will if you accidentally hit yourself with it or drop it on yourself. I’ve bashed myself in the face with this sucker plenty of times and gotten only light bruises at worst – a dumbbell would have broken my nose.

What else can you do with it? Any exercise you’d do with the same weight dumbbell: throw and catch with a partner, terrify your pets, etc.

Lowridin’

Whatcha need: A box big enough to kneel in comfortably. Boxes are available at packing stores, warehouses, and fine liquor stores throughout the country.

Whatcher gonna do: Kneel in the box, lean forward, stretch arms and place hands on the floor in front of you, pull self across the floor. (Purple fedora optional, but recommended.)

This is also a fun one to take outside and use to scare folks at the park. (“Ooh, I gotta make it to the swings before Jimmy Tennerman or else I’ll never get a turn!”)

Crip Approved: This is great for when your legs are too weak or sloppy to use safely. Plus, you’re already on the floor, so you needn’t worry about falling.

What else can you do with it? Fill it with something heavy for lifts, get a bunch and have a box fight with a partner, bring your groceries home from Costco.

Frankenstein’s Monster

Whatcha need: A rig and a tree. This rig is something called a speed trainer – I picked it up on clearance for . You can also make your own rig with bungees/resistance bands and a weight belt (tie bungees/bands into a long rope, tie one end of your bungee/band rope to tree, put on weight belt backwards – flat part over your stomach, buckle in the back – and tie the other end of your rope to the belt).

Whatcher gonna do: Run/walk/shuffle away from the tree as fast as you can. As you get further away, the resistance of your rope will increase, making it harder to stay on your feet.

(“Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA? Is that what you’re telling me?!”)

Crip Approved: Walking with any sort of resistance is great for both strength and balance, and with this the resistance increases gradually, allowing you to rest or move as slowly as you need to.

What else can you do with it? Turn around and play tug-o-war, construct an ill-advised but really cool giant catapult.

There you have it, my lovelies – some activities sure to help you get strong and entertain your audience all at the same time.

Because honestly, that’s what your self-consciousness really is: stage fright. Not the fear that people are looking at you but the fear that they don’t like what they see.

If you look different, for whatever reason, folks are going to look at you – you’re always going to have an audience. So you’d better give them a good show, hadn’t you?
