  • do you have restless legs? do they ache a lot? I don't think they are varicose veins. What's your BF%? Probably pretty low based on your profile pic, meaning you don't have anything "padding" your veins. It's probably just fine, unless you are hurting or have "restless" legs.

  • I've hiked and camped by myself many times. Always bring a whistle, and a dog is a great hiking companion. Bring extra food and water if you can, in case you get lost/off track/just want to stay longer than expected.

It's gritty and grainy and pretty much sucks to drink with anything but cow/soy/almond milk. Five days of ramping, then one teaspoon a day. I think it really helped me with muscle and joint soreness after workouts.…

  • Lifting doesn't help with stretch marks, but it does help with loose skin. Apply cocoa butter to stretch marks to help reduce their appearance as you loose weight and build muscle.

  • Does anyone have any tips/tricks for filtering out the seeds from fresh fruit from their smoothies? I love blackberries with kiwi, but the little seeds are so annoying! I may resort to picking them out before adding the fruit. This morning's smoothie: 1 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt 75 g blackberries 80 g kiwi 50 g banana 4 oz…

  • Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is the best Whey Protein for the dollar. 24 g of protein, 1g of sugar per big scoop. The Cake Batter flavor tastes awesome, and feels like drinking a dessert! Mix with some raspberries, and it's heavenly.
