Turns me unable to focus and think clearly. Constantly zoning off, trying to access thoughts but can't.

And that's what I was about to say, some people are just naturally healthy and skinny. Healthy/fit is what I agree your goal should be, no matter how you might look in the end (skinny, thick, muscular, agile, whatever). But things change over years based on a lot of factors (economy, social structure, etc). I just can't…

Emily: http://www.forbes.com/sites/rosspomeroy/2013/11/12/do-low-carbohydrate-diets-make-you-dumber/ http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/9136-2.html I went searching for your suggestion and I keep find info to the counter (the second one because I am adhd and I've noticed reducing the carbs helps me control my ability…

I just ordered a large triple cheese stuffed crust pizza with extra cheese/pepperoni/black olives. Having them deliver a 2l of pepsi and a large chocolate chip cookie round with it. Damn you pizza craving, damn you! That right there is probably like 3 days worth of calories totally going to destroy my awesome 11k deficit…

Elly: I'm curious where you learned 100g of carbs for "retaining brain function" I'm not challenging this. I really want to read the material. I will try to up it slightly just to get it real close to 100g as often as I can. (I know carbs are behind brain function and cognitive ability. I've been trying to find a good…

Calories consumed: avg: 1300-1800 Carbs: 75-85 Fats: 65-85 Protein: 85-100 And I can never seem to get enough freaking iron. Eating sirloin, salmon, chicken for dinner and lunch and eggs for breakfast (full egg). Usually cooked in a 1/4 tablespoon of butter (though that's the entire dish but I count the whole butter)…

And really that is what I was trying to communicate earlier: be healthy, I just stuck my foot in my mouth and failed to take the larger scope into picture. Healthy is different for everyone and is a range for the individual. Also please don't take what I said as glorifying mdd, I was stating on the comparison she made that…

Curious my wife is MDD, the goal is typically to be as happy (a terrible word to use so let's go with 'not feeling as bad'), it just doesn't often work out that way. Doesn't mean you can't hope for the best. Or am I being short sighted in my ignorance, feel free to educate me because I don't stand in these shoes so I've…

Oh fine, my point was to aim for healthyness not for a size so it came out wrong. Let me place a blanket apology for trying and failing to give advice.

Her goal is to be a size 0, my assumption there is that if she had an eating disorder her goal would be maintain or gain as the disorder would already be known. My thoughts also regarding that are addressed by parents doctors school and child protection services if it's reinforced by the parents.

The suggestions I have read are 1g/1lb LBM protein, bulk on weights days (+20%) high carb/low fat, cut on HIIT cardio days (-20%) low carb/high protein. Do weights and str training in the evening so your body burns fat not muscle during the day. And a ton of suggestions for resistance exercises. I am just now changing my…

It's serious advice but nah I was hoping you might get a bit of a kick out of it. Opiates smooth the lining of your stomach which basically stop the motility of your waste, slows down your metabolism, and laxatives won't work as they typically are stimulants and unless it's cocaine it won't get through whatever opiate you…

Take it from someone who was on painkillers for 6 years, take a stool softener if you will be on them for more than a week. Second, they supress apetite but you can still eat just set an alarm to remind you and opt for nutritional (high fiber). If you are having trouble stuffing it down just eat the minimum amount of…

Note I've been doing most of this routine or building up to it since early November (like I didn't start with Bulgarian split squats and it took awhile for me to get truly correct form, also just got access to a gym so gym items are new)

My exercise routine: Resistance: ~25m (Every other day) 3 sets of: hold 3 sec down/up where it applies (that btw is a mofo on some of these) 8 straight legs bench dips, 16 (8 each leg) bulgarian split squats, 8 Pike diamond push ups, 8 flat straight leg raises, 8 Diamond push ups (really should be doing decline push ups),…

Okay, 196g of protein seems kinda impossible, that'd required 3 protein shakes a day on top of what I'm eating :< Side note, yeah I have a pretty good every other day resistance workout (a bit more than what they say at start bodyweight). Male, 245lbs, 6'.

jhitt1975, that's what bothers me about the paleo diet. Nevermind carbs are seen as brain food from most nutritional sites I've seen out there, but about 5000 years ago (which is wrong btw, but anyways I get your point) we started to move out of the stone age and into an agricultural society, with that came breakthroughs…

Yeah, that's probably what's doing me in since there "precise" instruments are spoons. That's probably the biggest ticket, luckily I'll be going shopping tonight. So there we go! As far as muscle mass, well maybe I'm not cutting but my arms have kinda gotten huge and when I flex you can't really see any fat on them, they…

OH! The Monster burger! I see what you are talking about, yeah that's correct. That was my leftovers from two nights previous. Same with the lunch from that Thursday. The Chipotle is really small because I ate 80% of it the day previous. There are other things with it that makes it make more sense. In the end the entire…

brightsideofpink: Are you sure it wasn't 1/3rd lb of meat on the burger? I don't think I've ever eaten .33 of a burger :|. I do always take the bottom bun off my burger though, I also do that with anything that has a bun though (so my jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches are minus a bun but listed as full). PB&J the bread I was…

Regarding protene/fat/carbs, yeah I know. I actually started this diet on the idea of "semi paleo" mostly because I think completely getting rid of carbs is cheating your body (I also know carbs are pretty much what causes weight gain the fastest in me). And I'm just finding that difficult even though the heaviest thing I…

I do eat a ton of sodium, and I should be clear regarding muscles/slimmer. I say this because I can physically see my muscles in my arms/forearms/legs/calfs and clothes are "being less judgemental" as in my size 38 pants aren't digging into me anymore and I can fit a thumb in between the waist. But I also work on the…

Oh and it's mostly pre-packaged meals/Chipotle (what they list as nutritional facts). I travel a lot for my job, so getting somewhere to cook is rather difficult at times. However it kinda clears up "what did I estimate for my calories" vs "just consider I ate the whole meal when I actually only ate half because I got full"

Whoops sorry about that it's public now. I figured it was a default setting. Regarding measuring, I am but mostly using ounces and not grams. Because even if there is a +-200 calorie change/day, I'm still in a deficit. (Never mind if I list something as say 6oz, unless it was meat, I likely ate only 75% of it. I listed it…
