- estvir, on 02/04/2008, -2/+21It's not a stupid word, lifehacker is just full of retards who misuse it daily.
- bowe, on 02/04/2008, -1/+15the site is lifehacker. Everything is a hack to these people.

..can we please stop calling everything a "hack"? - adrian67, on 02/04/2008, -1/+12Whoops - thanks FameMoney - my apologies to all.
- ouorama, on 02/04/2008, -0/+9This just in: Excercise and moderate eating helps you stay lean and healthy.

(no really... latest I heard was that the 8 glasses thing was *****) - zomgflamer, on 02/04/2008, -0/+7"Don't drink alcohol" .......... fail.
- romistrub, on 02/04/2008, -0/+6Trying too hard to appeal to Digg users, I guess.
- ronaldmonster, on 02/04/2008, -0/+5Any movement is good for you're body.
- debuggercll, on 02/04/2008, -1/+6This is more of a turnkey synergistic enterprise solution.
- inactive, on 02/04/2008, -2/+7Eat more frequently, but healthy foods and in smaller portions, and exercise. Everyone knows this--it's the application that's lacking. Do we really need an article?
- Marijuana, on 02/04/2008, -0/+4I like hacking my body.
- likwidfuzion, on 02/04/2008, -0/+41. Clean, well-balanced diet
2. Weight train and cardio
3. Desire, discipline, and dedication
4. Results - cotaskmemalloc, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3... blank stare ...
- clkou, on 02/04/2008, -4/+7Also worth mentioning:
1) Drink 8 glasses of water every day
2) Get 8 hours of sleep every day - NOT too much MORE or LESS - piesforyou, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3but then you kill them and lose all that weight in one go. it's disgusting though.
- Akintunde, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3Good, i've been trying to get my metabolism back up...
- endlessoul, on 02/04/2008, -0/+3I like hacking AT my body.
- capiCrimm, on 02/04/2008, -1/+4I'll one up you and summarize it in two words:
Tape Worms. - ours, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2"moderate eating"
That's contrary to what the article says. And I agree with the article. I've tried it and it works. Workout hard, eat harder. But eat healthy! Quantity != quality. - starf, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2Because they're talking about 10 minute interval training, which a lot of personal trainers advocate.
Personally I think a mixture is better (sometimes doing interval training also referred to as hiit, sometimes doing regular). - lonedust, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2I like my door-mounted chin/pull up bar. I do a few whenever I need a break from surfing the web all day.
- themastersb, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2gb2/1950s/
- smoger, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2i hacked 60 pounds off my body in the past year, so far.
- RobotBuddha, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2I could easily be wrong on this, but I think tapeworms don't really work very well for weight loss. They're grabbing far more nutrients than they are calories, and can wind up with a fair amount of mass themselves eventually.
- romistrub, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2your biceps / lats must be disproportionately large :P ... you should add some push-ups to that.
Sorry, I've been on a workout binge, I can't help but spit my two cents. - ProfessorFoo, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2Buried for using "Buried for ______"
- romistrub, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2Lots of people think "moderate eating" means 1500 calories per day, though.
- Terr01, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2Amen. My rule of thumb: If it's not related to algorithms and technology, it's a misuse by people who think it endows their efforts with some sort of mystical "hacker aura" of leetness.
Except when referring to writers, in which case it's grandfathered in. - romistrub, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2I don't know why, but I had to read your post 3 times to understand it. You can't burn fat and gain muscle at the same time, though. They are opposing processes in the calorie requirements.
- ProfessorFoo, on 02/04/2008, -0/+2I agree. It's just so easy to just do a set of pull-ups/chin-ups every time I walk under it. Now I just have to work out my shoulders, triceps, chest, legs, abs, and go running and I'll be good ^_^
- starf, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1Instead of avoiding high intensity exercises, focus on low impact exercises.
And hiit cardio burns a lot of fat too. I don't know what the percentage is off-hand, but 20 minutes of hiit burns more fat than 20 minutes of slow cardio. - healthplus, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1That's scary! I guess I should pop in at some point then.
I'm still a young'n though, so it's plausibly just that. more url health ... http://www.anxiety-site.net/edition/related-health ... http://www.free-birth-control.net/edition/related- ... - donna1234, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1You can bolster your metabolism by eating enough

http://www.t30.info - dadioflex, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1I agree it's bull that drinking more than 2-3 glasses a day has any benefit but water has it's uses. For instance soup is a good dieting food because the water bulks it up without adding calories. And drinking ice cold water requires some fraction of a calorie to warm it up to body temperature. Hmm. I can see my ice cold soup diet being a big hit.
However the 8 glasses per day myth is so firmly entrenched in the public mind that there are simply many many people who won't accept it's a fallacy. - jancaballero, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1Eating more small meals frequently definitely helped me lose weight! And I lost 30 lbs...
- Tippis, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1"hack
3. vt. To bear emotionally or physically. “I can't hack this heat!”
4. vt. To work on something (typically a program). In an immediate sense: “What are you doing?” “I'm hacking TECO.” In a general (time-extended) sense: “What do you do around here?” “I hack TECO.” More generally, “I hack foo” is roughly equivalent to “foo is my major interest (or project)”. “I hack solid-state physics.” See Hacking X for Y.
5. vt. To pull a prank on. See sense 2 and hacker (sense 5)."
( http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/H/hack.html )
The general sense (4) seems to apply rather well. - starf, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1It is a misconception that slow exercise will burn more fat. A higher percentage of what you burn will come from fat, but the overall calories and overall calories from fat will actually be less. (Well, at least for the difference between 10 min hiit and 30 min slow-- 10 vs 60 might be another story.)
- starf, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1you didn't read the article, did you?
First section is about NOT lowering caloric intake too much, which is a mistake many dieters make. - ProfessorFoo, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1This article is not about losing weight or improving your cardiovascular system or strength. This article is about boosting your metabolism (which is more related to gaining muscle than losing fat). Eating less will not boost your metabolism; it will crush it. Eating small meals throughout the day and doing intense workouts will keep your metabolism high and gain muscle (which will increase metabolism in the long run).
- tian2992, on 03/06/2008, -0/+1well, except when it comes to wood...
- ProfessorFoo, on 02/04/2008, -0/+1I don't think the article was saying to completely stop eating carbs. It sounded more along the lines of increase the ratio of proteins:carbs. Of course you need proteins, carbs, and fats to function correctly, but to gain muscle it helps out if you have a lot of free protein floating about.
