It's out of pocket. Hmm, I mean I guess it could have been covered if I was medically supervised. But I'm not, and I found a great company in LA who does it cheap - $45 for the DEXA, and $75 for the RMR. I don't mind paying for it though, I think it's totally worth it for that price!

This. Love my Charge HR. I have also used a Polar HR Monitor, and I admit I do still use it on my workouts and compare data from my fitbit. I'm a big stat nerd like that. It's all very motivating :smiley:

I would never rely on logging something "by the slice" as that is way too variable and subjective of a measurement to be accurate. We measure everything by weight unless it is specifically measured by volume...both of which are unquestionable measurements. We ended up taking the macro calculations for 100g bacon (raw) that…

Yup. This. If I consistently eat over 1800 calories and live a generally sedentary lifestyle where I'm not intentionally trying to exercise, and work a desk job all day, I WILL gain weight. Even 2000 is too high for me. I tested this from Jan - May of this year, when I went back to work after a 6 month break in which I ate…

What about avocado oil? I know the Primal Brand makes one now, it can't be that hard to make...

Yup, melatonin for me too. I love the natrol liquid one, it knocks me out in 15 min.

No but, for what it's worth, there ARE those people who say those things and that is somewhat what they actually mean! Whether it's a reflection on the work they would like to do (but aren't doing) themselves, jealousy, etc... I've gotten that kinda stuff A LOT from people over the past several years that I've made body…

BCAAs=Branched Chain Amino Acids Extreme workout people take them to help prevent loss of lean muscle mass (and therefore metabolism) when cutting down. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bcaas-the-many-benefits-of-amino-acids.html

I'm usually well under 20g net, and this is my 5th week.

Yes! And it's really chunky and crumbly too, they are my fav fruit flavor. The Cookies/Cream is my fav choc/desserty flavor. I've tried them all! For me it's a texture thing, some are smooth and weird, the crumbly ones are great though. I think you can just buy a case of 12, but they are totally worth it. If you go to GNC,…

We always Order a few other staples from there: Quest bars (especially white choc raspberry and cookies & cream) Natrol Melatonin (Liquid eyedropper) Tera's Whey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Alba shampoo (plumeria is my fav) Jason's Body Wash (tea tree oil) Coconut Flour Almond Flour Vitafusion Gummy Vitamins (prenatal) All…

But if you're at But if you're already at a deficit for the whole day, doesn't it all even out? Won't the fat you don't burn during non-fasted cardio because you're burning food, be burned later in the day because you're at a deficit and your body doesn't have the food that you burned during the exercise?

I've heard the natural supplement trifecta for weightloss is a good probiotic, omega 3s, and BCAAs, all taken daily. You do have to be careful not to overdo the BCAAs though if on keto since they do increase your protein and can convert to glucose/knock you out of ketosis if you are already pushing the macro ceiling for…

For what it's worth, when I was heavier (180 heaviest) I would hike a 1000ft elevation gain, 3.5 miles in 75-90 minutes, and I burned 900-1050 calories consistently on this hike, wearing a HRM. Granted it was uphill. As I lost weight, being between 135-145lbs that number is more like 750-850 for the exact same hike in say…
