The Hacker's Diet Dieting as an engineering problem[edit] Walker describes the diet as approaching weight loss "as an engineering problem",[2] claiming that his approach enabled him to reduce his weight from 215 pounds to 145 pounds in a year, and keep it stable afterwards.[3] Walker considers the problem of weight loss and maintenance as a control system problem. Simplifying the problem to the barest elements, he models the human body as a "rubber bag," where variables such as food type, frequency, metabolic rates and even exercise as considered negligible.

Abscess | Urgent Care, Newport Beach, Dr. Doonan, Walk In. Abscess Abscess Overview An abscess is a tender, easily pressed mass generally surrounded by a colored area from pink to deep red. The middle of an abscess is full of pus and debris. Painful and warm to touch, abscesses can show up any place on your body. The most common sites are in your armpits (axillae), areas around your anus and vagina (Bartholin gland abscess), the base of your spine (pilonidal abscess), around a tooth (dental abscess), and in your groin. Unlike other infections, antibiotics alone will not cure an abscess. Abscess Causes Abscesses are caused by obstruction of oil (sebaceous) glands or sweat glands, inflammation of hair follicles, or from minor breaks and punctures of the skin. The middle of the abscess liquefies and contains dead cells, bacteria, and other debris. People with weakened immune systems get certain abscesses more often.
