Eating After working out ????
I avoid eating after working out as long as possible for the "fat burn". The center I take Kickboxing classes, started selling a protien drink. They are saying to eat a protien within 10 minutes after working out. Point being your body will use the protien to fill in the tears in your muscles- creating a leaner body,…

Can you help me describe my normal daily activities?!?
I'm a little lost with this... The options are: Sedentary: Spend most of the day sitting (e.g. bank teller, desk job) Lightly Active: Spend a good part of the day on your feet (e.g. nurse, salesman) Active: Spend a good part of the day doing some physical activity (e.g. waitress, mailman) Very Active: Spend most of the day…

I'm turning into a nag.........
Now that I'm holier than thou in the fact I've lost 14lbs and learned so much on this site and seeing as though I'm now a mathematician, scientist and a doctor, I can't stop nagging my husband. He has a big belly and his eating habits are the pits. He's never gone on about me for years but I can't help it because you chaps…

Help! I've stopped losing weight
Hi, I have lost 13 pounds in about 25 days, but for a week now the scales haven't moved. I know I lost those 13 pounds quickly so maybe I am just being impatient. I haven't done anything different, I eat 1400 calories a day. My friend suggested I "switch it up" and eat 1600 calories one day and 1200 the next to encourage…

PMS!!!
I know I'm not the only one out there that has to deal with this, but I would love to know how everyone copes!! I do not get PMS in the sense of moodiness, etc. What I do get is an absolutely ravenous appetite; not necessarily for chocolate or salt, but just for food in general. I have found it really tough this week to…

The more you lose the harder it gets?
Is this true? After losing a respectable amount of weight does it get harder to keep losing? Or the weight loss slows down? How can I fix this?

Should I fast today?
Hi all! I have been loosing a lot of weight recently (for me anyway) and then my husband and I went out of town on a business trip this weekend. For 3.5 days straight I ate horribly! I usually bring snacks and my own healthy food but we just didn't have enough time. When we ate out I ended up making horrible choices at…

Sustainable weight loss
I was reading another post about liquid diets and below 1200 calories a day and the question that always pops into my mind is "how can that be a sustainable weight loss" what mindset do people have when they start such diets, what is their ultimate goal. A quick weightloss? I'm not judging although I disagree with that…

Question About Building Muscle
I've read a few posts on here where people have said you can't/won't gain muscle if you're in a calorie deficit. Can someone explain that to me please. Background to the question: I'd MUCH rather lift weights than do cardio. Hands down. I prefer it. I'm on a low carb/high protein/mid-fat eating plan. With the high protein…

Gastric Bypass Patients
I had gastric bypass surgery 6 1/2 years ago and have, fortuntely, kept the weight off. Gastric bypass is still fairly "new" and there isn't a lot of information out there about the post-surgery time/effects past the first few years. I find that I am always experiencing changes - can eat broccoli one day, and the next it…

To eat or not to eat?
Generally I find that if I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner I am fine. Just those three meals and I may be hungry as I get close to the next meal but that's it. When I had my meeting with my personal trainer at my gym she said no matter what, eat a snack between breakfast and lunch and another snack between lunch and…

Is it too late for breakfast?
I've been meaning to ask this question for a while now so I figured I better get it out while it's on the brain now. After waking up, how long can you wait to eat breakfast before your body triggers starvation mode? I normally don't eat breakfast until 2-3 hours after I wake up (I know, bad bad...) but I do have a coffee…
