I bought a low carb cookbook with 1001 recipes. Everything from breakfast to dessert. It cost me $20 but was worth it. So far my fab recipe is the sunflower seed crackers. Good luck.

I was very particular when I was looking for a trainer, I wanted someone with a nutrition background, not just their education in fitness/kinseology/physiology. Know what goals you want to set for yourself, this makes the conversation with the trainer easier. When talking with the trainer make it clear if your goal is…

Form, form, form...this is important for any exercise. Do what you can even if that means modifying the moves so that you can do them. You will slowly get stronger and as funny as it sounds, more comfortable and become more confident in your moves. They may knock out 10 moves to your 3, hit rewind and do another 3. It'll…

Best advice I enter took, I got a nutritionist/trainer. It ended up that I was taking in to many carbs and not doing enough HIIT. I'm not sure how thing work where you are at but here in America the majority of places will give a free consultation. Good luck.

When meeting with my trainer the other day to go over my fitness routine from the last week and the up coming week I was informed that strength training/lifting weights burns more calories than cardio. Do to this we switched my routine around to give me maximum calorie burn.

I combine body weight and dumbbells. I recently switched my routine from 3 reps of "x" body weight/dumbbell to 1 rep f either 30, 60, or 90 seconds. This week I was able to hold the plank for 60 seconds which is up from the 30 second of last week. Any use of dumbbells or other weights I strictly only do for 30 seconds, I…

I'm an April bride. Congrats and good luck.

I'm an April bride, I have 15lbs to go. You've done this before, just have faith that you can do this again.

I'm an April bride and still have a about 15lbs to go. As much as I love my groom to be and his cooking I do ALL of the cooking to ensure I make my goal weight and I have cut alcohol out of my diet. This is what I get for buying my dream dress a few years ago. Really it sounds like you have either hit a plateau or a tweek…

As you are a previous athlete there is something to keep in mind, muscle weighs more than fat. You are making muscle during your workouts. You may not see a weight loss, however, you may have lost up to a half an inch somewhere in your structure. No weight loss this week, but you're clothes feel looser is still a good sign…

I'm consciously thinking of making my family fried chicken for dinner tonight. It's their reward for eating healthy the last 3 weeks, and possible mine as I have not decided if I will bake my chicken. It's nice to have a reward day occasionally. I wouldn't stress too bad unless you do it more often than not. 1-2x a month…

You can use the bands instead of the weights. There is a modifier, usually in the back who uses the band, you'll want to watch that person. P90X is meant to be done within that hour time frame to maximize your cardio and strength. You're going from one move to the next with few breaks in between. You can also slowly build…

There are few days a year where it is nice to splurge or have a cheat day. As long as you are good leading up to and get back on track after I don't see why you cannot have the dinner you want. Just don't over do it. Even a doctor will tell you it's ok to have a cheat day, just don't make them too close together. Relax,…
