  • 80% food 20% exercise 100% calories in / calories out Losing weight is great on the scale Losing inches on the body is awesome Losing bodyfat percentage is the ultimate I see the best results when I combine the gym with diet.
  • Sure you can do that. Casein absorbs slowly and keeps you full longer. Its great for overnight fasting. Casein is also traditionally cheaper and richer tasting than whey. Whey and hydrodized whey are great for after workout. Save money but do not put garbage in yout body. Avoid cheap fillers and cheap protein. If you are…
  • That depends on what you want to accomplish... I'm 60/35/5
  • Macronutrients is the next level of weight loss for you. This is an important thing because it in large part will be the dictator of the energy. The exercise certainly plays a part, if for anything, vitality. Weight loss is tough on the body so you really need to start to focus on feeding your muscles... Need the right…
  • I have the Microsoft Band 2 also. The Band 2 is extremely accurate for workout... it's calorie daily tracking algorithms are not that great compared to others in my experience (I am a Microsoft employee by the way.) I find it consistently under represents my daily calorie burn and it even tracks calorie burn when the band…
  • It's a marathon... Not a race. When you get that part you stop micro managing the details.
  • Because fat is awesome! Check my diary. I eat 60% fat in my diet and have lost 35 pounds
  • Can you continue to eat like this at that low a calorie consumption? If you cannot it is a fad
  • Weight is funny... It doesn't come off the scale all the time. Stick with it. If you have a deficit then your body will fall in... Its just a matter of patience and time.
  • Weigh yourself same time each day...
  • Maybe it is about what you are eating... Calories are very important... But macronutrients are super important. Get your body fat percentage and eat your lean body mass 1.2x in protein. You know what makes you feel full? Eating fat. It's 60% of my diet. I cannot eat many of my calories a day but I really try. It's super…
  • Think of it this way... Myfitnesspal creates a hypothetical calorie burn based on your age, height, activity level, and sex. It gives you a number to start off and then starts subtracting or add based on calorie intake and outtake. The number is hypothetical and may or may not reflect your actual activities day to day. A…
  • Often the culprit is the emotional state which no one really gets. The physiological differences. The psychological differences from person to person. You can live in your head thinking that it's a lazy thing. People who say things like, "they are lazy," often lack the emotional maturity to understand that food, in today's…
  • Negative adjustments. If you are wearing a device all day it'll track things and adjust as necessary
  • 1. Advise him to see a doctor for an annual physical and have blood work done 2. If he knows what his goals are... Show him the body fat percentage that he needs to be at 3. Watch what the doctors say about his LDL cholesterol... 4. Tell him it's all about calories in and calories out 5. If he doesn't change move on... Let…
  • Take supplements?
  • Here let me make a bit more... Fair and balanced... It's a sweet science!! *smirk* (I know... Man on top, woman on bottom... Sexist stereotypes!!)
  • Hello, I'm a 40 year old bachelor living in the Rotten Apple. I eat paleo style on a strict 60 / 35 / 5 ratio. Lost 35 or so pounds and want to lose another 40 pounds of fat but I want to gain 10 or more pounds in muscle getting there. Basically I want to cut my body fat % in 1/2. I lost the first 35 pounds through a very…
  • If you want to keep your muscles then macro ratios are important. Losing weight is certainly easy with a calorie deficit. Keeping it off and having your body look great requires exercise, protein, and plenty of healthy fats. Calorie deficit also doesn't reset you hypothalamus. Your set weight is very different to get past…
  • I stand corrected. But they want us fat.
  • Stay away from polysaturated fatty acid with high omega-6 : The Good Coconut, animal fat, ghee, olive oil, butter (all from grassfed and pasture raised animals that do NOT have an unnatural or processed veggie diet) The Bad Corn, vegetable, grapeseed, soybean oil All promoting bad cholesterol and inflammation
  • Post workout there is nothing like a protein shake... Just make it a habit. Get that shake ready....
  • Lo-carb and paleo is pretty much my life style. I don't do net carbs... I just carb court and stay between 20-50. This app doesn't do a great job with fiber or easily helping you determine net carbs... Grassfed, free range, organic, local, wild You are what you eat so I put only good fats in: Avocado oil, walnut oil,…
  • Mm... breakfast... Bullet coffee... Ghee, MCT oil, espresso blended 2-3 large free range local farm eggs 2-3 slices of grassfed beef bacon 2 500mg psylliums husk tablets 400-500 calories of delicious fat focused macros Full easily until 11-12pm Movement like clockwork Nom nom nom nom
  • I was going to mention psyllium husk in a shake mix is also a great way to get fiber for a great #2.
  • Ghee is better and has virtually no carbs. It also tastes a million times better than avocados in coffee. Google Bullet Coffee
  • It's the kissing it goodbye that most people cannot do because lo-carb is considered a diet. I'm keto for weightless and paleo normally (I live my plantain chips too much)
  • If you can stay in ketosis (hence that's the real important part of lo-carbing) then does it really matter? I count gross carbs. I aim for the 60/35/5. Sometimes I go bit over but generally speaking I'm watching my ketosis through analysis to ensure purple.
  • I don't go net carbs but you can do benefiber to keep things moving. I personal drink a lot of water and couple that with a lot of fat. Those two things can resolve any slow Downs
  • 60/35/5 Get good fat... Grassfed and oils like avocado oil, walnut, coconut. Fat is good.
