  • OP. Yes it would work. Just make sure your diet has the necessary vitamins, minerals and fiber. A diet without vegetables can lead to deficiencies.
  • Clean eating is hard to define. Someone who is eating "clean," but eats too much will still be overweight. Don't deprive yourself of things you like to eat or dieting will never work. Have your yogurt after working out as a reward. Above all, concentrate on staying at or below your target calories.
  • I'd just like to make a clarification on the gaining muscle/losing weight topic. Gaining muscle while losing weight depends on your initial state. If you have an excess of available energy (body fat) and little muscle conditioning, it's quite possible. (Watch an episode of Biggest Loser). If you are at or close to your…
  • Stop asking strangers for relationship advice. I know I'd be rather sore to learn that my significant other was asking Joe Shmoe for advice on how to deal with me (even if I'm a huge pain in the a**).
  • I do prefer natural blisters
  • Poison ivy... Ain't nobody got time for that
  • To answer your question, if you were to avoid any fat, it would be the trans variety. Nothing is inherently bad about saturated fat. If you don't eat seafood with any sort of regularity, a fish oil supplement wouldn't be a bad option.
  • Nothing I said was a slight against you. I'm very serious when I say, if you choose to believe a video on YouTube over scientific consensus, then the school system didn't do its job.
  • Your school system absolutely failed you.
  • Please tell the good folks here at MFP what state you are from. We need to know what senator to call.
  • One question for you: Are you more inclined to believe a video on YouTube made by someone with little to no credentials or a large body of scientists who have cross-checked one another and have conducted extensive tests?
  • I sincerely hope that you will click on the link above. None of us on this board are trying to deceive you or disagree with you for disagreement's sake. We only want you to be informed.
  • You're welcome and I hope you take the time learn more about it... from an objective point of view, of course!
  • Yes, you have a right to your opinion, whatever it may be. And the people responding have the same right. Unfortunately, science is not conducted by asserting opinions. For example, your opinion on whether drug A will cure some cancer is inconsequential. Instead, peer-reviewed, double-blind studies are conducted…
  • Of course you know to eat a certain amount of calories every day. As long as you stay at or under you're target calories, you will achieve your goals. Timing is not nearly as important as how much and what. If timing was important, many would say a post-workout meal is beneficial.
  • This is very troubling. This shows not only a lack of information, but also a strong propensity to be misguided by misinformation.
  • Many people choose to do it that way. It's a preference thing. You can enter your workouts as strength training under cardio for calorie tracking purposes.
  • Try keeping a log of what foods you consume, when you consume them and how you feel after eating. It may help to identify the offending foods.
  • The 5x5 stronglift is a great program and is the one I still use. It keeps weight training simplified and straight-forward without neglecting body parts, which is excellent for those beginning an exercise program. As other members mentioned, having a coach to help you with proper form is a great idea. Also, don't forget…
  • The fundamental rule of losing weight: Calories in < calories out. CONSISTENTLY and HONESTLY follow the Myfitnesspal calorie recommendations and exercise regularly. Bodybuilding.com is a good resource for exercise plans and tutorials on how to perform those exercises. Just stay away from the supplement section. There is…
  • It depends on your current fitness status. Beginners can most certainly gain muscle while losing fat. LeanButNotMean44's idea is spot on. iifym.com is a great place to start on your fitness goals.
  • The best way to identify your problem would be to consult your physician. MyFitnessPal is not a good source for medical advice. With that, I hope you get to the bottom of your problem, solve it and strive on. Good luck!
