Carb Strategy's was interesting0

Just read no carbs after a certain time, I don't think this works. Ive tried this eating the same amount of carbs on different times and I personally think that carb timing without training is just a load of crap, also consuming no carbs before your workout isn't always the best way to train, if your going to eat a certain amount of carbs per day AND train I think its more beneficial to consume some of them before training for extra energy levels/etc.0

weight training*
cardio won't do much its more alongside of lowering the number on the scale.
added weighted carbs and targeted specific areas work a lot better needless to say you're burning calories whilst doing so anyway.
gaining muscle overall tends to bump up the number of calories your body burns per day whilst doing nothing - on rest.
E.g. back arm fat: tri exercises1 -
I love all of this! I had been struggling with getting in shape because I am TERRIBLE at cardio, which I thought for a long time was the only way to get thin. I'm glad that people are trying to educate women to strength train.
Does anyone have a beginning strength training routine/schedule?? I need to get started, but I don't want to push myself too far at the beginning. Is three days a week good to start with?1 -
Hey, Amy, I am Amy too! I would check out bodybuilding.com, they have some great ones. I liked Jamie Eason Live Fit Trainer.
I think 3 strength training sessions each week would be enough.1 -
These are some awesome websites, thanks! Have anyone done any of the Bodyrock challenges? Looks like they already started their 21 day challenge but I'm gonna try their 7 day routine.0

for a look at the difference between a cardio queen at 117 and a powerlifter at 142.
this is a fantastic article! thank you for posting. definitely a must read for girls "just trying to lose that last five pounds." it's not always the number the the scale. this girl is a weight that some might think sounds "heavy" but she looks awesome!
Agreed! Great article! I cannot tell you how many of my friends avoid the weight-room because they are afraid of getting "bulky".1 -

Posted on my wall, but thought you all would like to read it as well. Very technical, but incredibly interesting article (with links to some equally great studies and resources): https://medium.com/personal-growth/longevity-and-diet-9b5011afc222
