Are artificial sweeteners bad for your health? And to be more concise, by that I don't mean stuff like Aspartame being bad for teeth, I mean endocrinology bad Personally, I frecuently take coffee, and sometimes soda, before or immediately after a workout. One of the main points of the detractors of artificial sweeteners is that they raise hunger levels and fools your body into expecting a rush of insulin which may lead to Diabetes type 2. TL;DR: Do artificial sweeteners raise hunger levels and increase insulin resistance potentially leading to Diabetes?

So, long story short, I want some advice on planning my exercise routine on Wii Fit U. Pretty much what I have been doing is spending the first hour, every morning doing 10 minutes of "aerobics" (Usually playing a regular Wii game that requires motion controls), then 20-30 minutes of actual exercising (In Wii Fit U), then another 10-20 minutes of "aerobics" (Again, in a regular Wii game). Reason I've followed this routine is because one of the fitness instructors at the gym I used to go to recommended it as the "best" way to get a workout. Another thing they recommended is that I don't do the same exercises every day, otherwise my body starts building an endurance against those specific exercises. So, the routine I've been following for the past few months is just selecting randoms exercises in WFU, five days a week, with Satudays spent going hiking/jogging for an hour (Plan on increasing that time as the days get warmer). Outside of that, I currently work at a fabrication facility, so I spend most of my days walking and lifting (Though, it looks like I'll be let go within the next few weeks). <So, here is my dilemma, what exercises routines would be best recommended in order for me to receive the most benefits? As far as my body's circumstance, I'm currently 5'11", average around 205 lbs. The only real "goal" that I have is that I want to reduce my waist size. Outside of that, I just want to build up the rest of my body, especially when it feels like I spend too much time building up my legs because of everything else I do (Apparently I average around 8000-10,000 steps each day). Also, I only have the chance to set up two routines because the first slot is already filled with activities that do not require the Fit board because, in the past, it seems to become very finicky whenever I change the batteries and it refused to connect or turn on. So, what are your recommendations?

George Floyd Do you figure this barbell placement is approximately the position of the "neck" that Chauvin's tibial tuberosity was on?

Is your physique just for your own ego or is it actually put to use? What sports do you train for? Hopefully not the kind people buy expensive tat for and drink while watching.

Lets post and recipes, feedback and suggestions. /fit/ related cooking of course.

Is it possible to obtain a strong build with merely calisthenics. I've been doing it a year or two and I've gotten a lot buffer and lost a lot of weight, I used to weigh over 14 stone now I'm in the 10 stone region. What I want to know is if I can build my muscles using just calisthenics so I don't have to use any money on buying impractical weights and not waste any money going to the gym. Better to use just your body than things that are completely unnatural imo.
