its a biology/Ochem name thing - when the H+ dissociates from the acid, the remaining ion sometimes takes on an "ate" ending - and since in the body these are usually in solution, it's a habit to call them by that name instead of the "acid" name
lactic acid, lactate
pyruvic acid, pyruvate
(it is the "sour" in kefir, yogurt, and it curdles the casein to make curds - so you were in the right ballpark with that thinking too - lactate aka milk acid)

I like the other way of saying it better.

NEAT - one of my problems with this is the lunchtime walk. A 30 min walk at lunch is great - but some days it is too sunny and hot to walk outside at noon in work clothes (even changing shoes). So - I looked up walking up stairs (not running, just walking) - and 12 mins burns same about the same calories as 30 mins at 3 mph (about a lunchtime stroll pace). And there's A/C and shade on the stairs.
My daughter worked on the 13th floor and did that by stairs several times a day. She had buns o' steel after a few months of that job. LOL!! Nice getting back on track btw.
eats: right on
NEAT: good (after walk to come after this)
weights: Strength superset: DL & tall kneeling pulldowns (4x6)
Circuit: Straight arm pulldowns, db swings, bike pumps, push press (10 rep, 3 rnds)
abs: charlie's angel (or whatever those are really called) (2x8)
Week 1 report:
wt: -4.8 (but I only believe 2.5-3 lb of that (if that) since 2# were in the last 24 hrs)
energy level: good - took a nap each day on the weekend, but shorter than usual, and the remainder of the day was doing something rather than sitting around.
I think emphasizing NEAT over workouts is helpful at this stage. Like Julie, my past history is to work out hard and let everything else (cleaning, trash, walking the dogs) fall off entirely. Especially if there is excessive DOMS involved.
This time I'm trying to make sure I keep up everything else while eating on the deficit and add a few short strength-oriented workouts a week to remind my muscles to stay around.
Once I adapt a little [read, after a month or so], I think I will switch to a more structured training program and probably do a small calorie increase at the same time - still a deficit - but enough to offset the increased activity. Assuming I can keep up NEAT.
I think the references I found about shelled meant the outer hard shell - but it doesn't make sense to me empirically because the selenium isn't going to disappear just because it is out of the shell (as far as I know) - unless, as you say, it is speaking of some lost with the dark skin part.
this from a USAWeekend article which doesn't source its source
Quote:
-- Brazil nuts: For a super source of selenium, you can't beat Brazil nuts, especially those bought in the shell. One unshelled Brazil nut, which you crack yourself, averages 100mcg, says Cornell's Donald J. Lisk. A shelled nut, found in health food stores, averages 12-25mcg.
then I find things like this:
Quote:
Selenium becomes toxic at a dose of 2,500mcg daily. 2 brazil nuts are well below that threshold. If you bought the nut in the shell and you crack it yourself, the dosage averages 100mcg per nut. A shelled nut, that you bought in a health food store averages 12-25mcg. Huge difference.
seems to be quoting the same "source" but I cannot (so far) find the ultimate source that explains the shelled/unshelled difference.
That seems weird that it would have such a huge difference between being shelled and unshelled.

At least that's the plan today, week 2 day 1.
That's why I'm really trying for the activity. I mean, how much does a workout burn anyway, in that one hour? Versus the rest of the day a person is sitting on their ass...
Bad Lisa. You have so much valuable knowledge crammed into that oversized brain of yours and I love seeing how you apply it to your own life. Bad, bad Lisa.
Not that you should feel any pressure or anything...
