http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Educate yourself on common mis treatments and what all of the tests that are needed to properly diagnose what is going on with your thyroid

Agree with Gaucho for the most part..but something that is always touted on just about any weight loss furum is " you cant gain muscle while in a deficit".. this is simply false.. yes you can.. no mention of how large a deficit or how much muscle gain but it is very much possible. Now will you pack on Mr Olympia style…

Pork skins, jerky, greek yogurt.. quest bar. Eggs

The USDA is flat out wrong sorry. My opinion. Most studies will show diets higher in protein are better at retaining/preserving LBM, especially when in a calorie deficit. If you are going to er, er on the side of MORE protein.

Im 200+ on protein. I wouldnt say its easy, but you have to commit to basing each meal around protein. Egg beaters n bacon for breakfast. = 60g Salad with 6-8oz chicken breast = 40-60g Maybe quest bar snack =20g Pick you meat for dinner, pork, chicken, beef ,fish etc. 6-8oz. = 40-60g Post workout shake 2 scoops 50g.

The single reason these actors are able to workout at the intensity you describe at their advanced age (mid to late 40s, some even older) is BECAUSE of the compounds they are taking, plain and simple. Steroids enables that, its rather a matter of genetic potential. If you look back to the bodybuilders of the pre Arnold…

Good article from Lyle McDonald on deficit size http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/setting-the-deficit-small-moderate-or-large.html/

Hashi here as well. Know that hashi causes hypothyroid, and alotbof autoimmune diseases originate from diet. Look up leaky gut http://www.holtorfmed.com/leaky-gut-linked-to-hashimotos-thyroiditis/ http://chriskresser.com/the-thyroid-gut-connection/

1500 cals, with 200 pro, 60 fat, 50 carbs. A 200lbs man would not lose much if any muscle mass.

Yes, I had mine done at a place here in Waco. It was on a Reevue machine. Also had to be fasted, and the test took 10 minutes of consistent breathing into a tube. 42yo male 6'2. It said my RMR was 2310 or so, hard to agree with it though.

A great article from Lyle McDonald that talks about the amount of muscle gains to expect per year from 1-5years with proper training. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/whats-my-genetic-muscular-potential.html/ 5 lbs is "probably" not all muscle, possible but not likely. Probably some water retention as well. As…

I think the terms "tone and tighten" in the context that youre using them is not really accurate. If you want more definition, then you need to reduce overall bodyfat. You cant really spot reduce. But some exercises for the arms are: For biceps- Dumbell curl Barbell curl Preacher curl For tricep- Tricep extension Skull…

You can look into natural supplementation to complement your T4 only medication. From most any vitamin/nutrition store can try Thyroid complex B5 B-100 complex Adrenal support Also Bovine or Povine thyroid health from nutri-meds. More importantly, find a new Dr. Our Dr works for US, not the other way around. If they are…

Coffee black, 4-6 servings southwestern egg beaters 4-6 slices bacon. Everyday without fail!

In the end it really is just about calories in less than calories out CICO. And if your not accurately tracking everything, you have no way of truely knowing how much your consuming on a daily basis. Estimations dont usually work for the majority. If it did, then 60% of the population would not be obese.

Chocolate chip cookie dough quest bar FTW. Super delicious, 20g protein around 17 fiber and only around 5-7 net carbs. 190 cals

This.. I used it back in the 90s when it had ephedrine in it. Then it was banned as a supplement.... clean diet and cico is all you need

^^^ This My story is similar, if you have a significant amount of weight (fat) to lose then it can be done. It doesnt mean youre going to gain it all back, that is false dogma. I dropped 4-5lbs a week for 3 months, and as others have said it will level off. The body makes adaptations, and the reduced body size requires…
