Mate, the main forum is very anti-low-carb. Just come join us in the low carb forum if you want to be low carb. It's cool. There have been tons of studies that revealed that low carb GENERALLY works better. That said, these were studies that took place over months of controlled diets... 2 days isn't very much. Weight loss…

My cycle used to be so much like clockwork I could call it down to pretty much the time of day it would start. It was so regular I knew the two points during my actual period that I could remove my cup and keep it out for a half a day-day because I wasn't actually bleeding at that point. Yes, it was that regular. Then I…

Yeah, my big concern is that... well... her mom could be screwing up the coach's program, and also, SERIOUSLY, she's 12, worry about her weight when she's a little older than that. Puberty is only JUST going to come along and screw with all of her hormones. Eat healthy, stay active. This is no point in a child's life for…

How about making a Meatza? In short, you use hamburger as the crust. YEAH.

Oh, oh, this is my specialty. Is there food in the fridge? I can do something with ANYTHING. I would do this with the eggs and cream cheese... http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/easiest-souffle-ever-132493.aspx You do not need to use the spread cream cheese, you may just have to thin your block a bit, and add spices…

Liposuction? A corset? Lose the weight, reevaluate on the other side of ten pounds and regain it if you don't like it? Work out so hard that your ab muscles just get SO BIG?! There are many options! But I feel like if you're lifting and getting muscles, it's probably unlikely to do it healthily and keep up your current…

Oh, I hear you... It's cherry season now, and cherries are my ONE WEAKNESS. I can be happy on bacon and cheese forever but then bring out the cherries? Yeah, I'm done for. My spring/summer groceries consist of ice cream and cherries. D: The ice cream I can survive without but NOT MY CHERRIES. I'm just gonna... yeah... I'm…

PF is not a Stronglifts gym. They ban deadlifts, man, eventually you WILL outgrow it. In the meantime, if you insist, I recommend getting one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Everlast-Ankle-Wrist-Weights-Adjustable-5-Pound-pair-of-2-5-Lbs-each-/231575617554?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35eafb8012 (not affiliated with…

I can eat almost nothing on CICO and lose NOTHING. In fact, I gain weight, somehow! Seriously... it's ridiculous, unsatisfying... Then I go low-carb and suddenly I feel a lot better, and well, that sure makes all the difference in the world. I enjoy my food, I'm excited for my meal of bacon and eggs with some bacon on that…

Oh, your eyes are up there? I hadn't noticed.

Yeah, my pounds only started dropping off once I started lifting. She can suck it. Keep being awesome. I would've snapped, "Because that's what my dream body looks like. You work for yours and I'll work for mine." If she bothers you again, tell her off.

I wear a pair of full leather shoes from an obscure German brand. They're leather, beige, with a crisscross pattern on the front that makes them look like some 80 year old man's shoes. They are flat, with a little bit of a heel lift, and once broken in, they fit my foot like a glove and provide all the support I need to…

Starts other people's lawnmowers and chainsaws. You are in fact correct!

Designer ice cream flavors.

I've taken a couple of days of 'troubleshooting', mainly on my deadlift, so the last workout was 5x6 90 pound speed deadlifts at a deficit to try compensate for my lack of initial power. If I can get it off the ground I can get to lockout 90% of the time. I just lack the initial followthrough of power, and then worked up…

Yeah, if it's heavy, you're not going to be able to whip up and down, mannnnn, I'm doing squats now with 245 on the bar (I tend to hang out until I make sure I am getting my form right before going up too, like you guys) and it's not a fast movement. It's controlled down, controlled up, and if I hit any point of struggle,…

I often IF and skip say, eating until I'm home from work at around 5. Because I'm just not hungry in the morning and I don't have any 'breaks', because I'm the only one here most of the time. I have kind of messed up and stopped doing it lately though, right now I'm eating most of my calories for the day in one blow right…

All I do pre-workout is try to not eat, because if my stomach is full I feel like crap when lifting. And I take a creatine pill before and after, and after, try to suffer through a protein drink. Anything expensive is a waste of money. Now, taking supps like Vitamin D, fish oil, Theanine, Korean ginseng... they can help…

Every day is leg day. Every day is squats day. Rawr. No, I recover SOMETIMES.

Sure it is! You just end up eating rather differently. For example, a standard day for me ends up being coffee + 12 full fat creamers until 5, bacon and eggs for my first meal after work, and then whatever variation of meat + veggies I feel like for dinner... and fruit/nuts/etc as snacks in the middle. It's just, we tend…

Ugh, diet soda. Never touched the crap in my life. While I'm pretty convinced it might be causing brain tumors, because everyone I've met who drinks diet soda like water is either lazy and suffering from chronic pain or... a doctor. Wait. Hmm. Anyway, I got to being 255 without drinking pop at all. Not diet, not regular.…

You should put yourself in then! And the site just made me feel bad about myself. Yeesh. Yeah, screw my 135 goal, I need to get down to like 110 to look good... ergh... so that's like 115 more pounds to go. Although I lift weights so chances are 135 will look fine.

It's normal to drop a lot of weight at first. I dropped a ridiculous amount of weight when I first started (though I wasn't tracking), mostly water, I assume. Anyway, losing 2 pounds a week is perfectly reasonable, don't panic. And if you're starving, eat more food that'll stick. I'm losing weight at a reasonable pace and…

Heh, try not eating sugar for a few weeks and then taste an orange. You'll realize where all the sugar is. Oranges taste like CANDY to me now. Man, don't worry about it, enjoy your fruits unless you have a medical reason to be tracking every and all sugars. Better to have a fruit than a candy.

Do you feel full and satisfied? Then it doesn't matter. You won't lose less weight because you didn't eat enough... it doesn't work that way. Trust your body. If it's like 'yeah, we're cool'... listen, because someday it'll be like 'NO, I AM STARVING FEED ME FEED ME FEEEEEED ME', and it'll all balance out. ;) Don't force…

There is no scientific proof to back up "3500 calories = 1 pound of weight". None. There was this guy who contained a bunch of health organizations and asked where it came from and none of them knew. It's arbitrary, and there are many studies that have demonstrated that people who are put on say, a diet of 2000 calories,…

I love wearing skirts. I don't love wearing tights or leggings all summer to keep my thighs from chafing and bleeding. I would also really like to be able to see things like my collarbone and knuckles (which I can now see when my hand is neutral) I don't give two craps about what anyone thinks when I head into the free…

There's no such thing as the paleo police (now, watch out for the vegan police...). Have at your yogurt if you want it. :) I eat mostly paleo right now, I'd say 90%... there are a few things I let slide... peas, corn (in my opinion these are vegetables and they don't bother me, I found after some careful testing), soy…

Beer and sourdough bread... and yes, I DO have to give them up, because I'm gluten intolerant. Funny, I thought it was just normal to have a sore throat all the time until I went low-carb. D:< And I fraekin' love craft beers. But I also love having enough energy to go to the gym and not have to nap in the afternoon…

I find cardio so seethingly boring... and well, I'm also pretty large, so it hurts my knees. I force myself to do 10-15 minutes on the elliptical every time I go to the gym, and I try to get 5 minutes on a rower (which if you do it right, HURTS EVERYWHERE), and at home I play DDR... ...but the reality is, I love lifting. I…
