I have an unhealthy level of obsession with McCormick Montreal spicy steak seasoning. Also I love marinating chicken, shrimp, or pepper strips in Kraft Zesty lime vinaigrette.

If you "dfc" why comment? :|

I'd like to know where I can get tickets for this event...

Lexapro made me gain weight like crazy. It doesn't just cause an increase in hunger but can also cause metabolic syndrome that can cause you to gain weight without eating more calories as well in some people. If you find yourself gaining weight or your feelings of hunger don't subside in a few weeks, talk to your doctor…

Vitamin K isn't contraindicated with warfarin therapy. It is only suggested that you maintain the same level of intake of it as prior to starting it. If you never ate leafy greens, don't start because it will reduce your clotting time to sub-therapeutic levels. If you were eating a lot, keep that same level because…

Actually, yes you should assume that it is harder to maintain weight after losing than actually losing the weight itself. That is why people are advising you to create long term habits instead of just trying to lose weight as quickly as possible. Without establishing new habits, it is close to impossible to keep the weight…

I'm just going to explain this in a little bit more depth from the perspective of a healthcare professional/competitive powerlifter. When you have too sharp of a deficit, your body begins to use the protein in your muscles for energy. This catabolism of muscle isn't compensated for and thus you lose muscle mass. When you…

If you want V8 and fear the sodium bloat, they make a low sodium version. It's actually very high in potassium as well so if you find you're lacking in that micronutrient, low sodium V8 is a great idea!

"Healthy juices" are just marketing ploys. They're convenience items that have latched onto the "health foods" fad. Seriously. If you want juice buy 100% fruit/vegetable juices in the large bottles and pour out what you want. Additionally, don't make the mistake of believing that you have to drink juices in order to…

Since seafood and turkey have already been mentioned, you can also do lean cuts of beef or ground beef (93% lean and up) or change it up and do some wild game such as venison. Bison is also surprisingly lean. You could also try vegetarian protein options. Tempeh is extremely high protein and very versatile. Or maybe you…

Yuck Brussels sprouts sauteed in bacon grease with shallots and garlic and topped with bacon and toasted almonds

Thanks for the advice! I'll add some extra squats in. As far as tapering is concerned, "soon" was relative haha! I generally taper for 3 weeks. 1st week = about 75% of normal programming, 2nd week = 5/3/1's normal deload week, 3rd week = rest.

I have a question about mobility work. I'm currently training for a PL competition at the end of January so I've been hitting the weights pretty heavily because I want to peak soon and then begin to taper off for the competition. I've been doing a modified version of 5/3/1. I'm 275 and my 1RM's are currently Bench: 180,…

Maybe those held in farts are where all of his sh!tty ideas come from.

I typically belt when I get to about 80% BW on squats and don't typically belt for deads and bench unless I'm really feeling it.

That's why I suggested the Charge HR. I bought the Surge when the Charge HR was out of stock and love it for its capabilities but would probably have liked the Charge too.

I would recommend the Fitbit Charge HR. It automatically tracks steps, HR, and sleep without needing to change modes. You can keep track of exercise on the app on your phone. I don't have experience with it personally because I used the Fitbit Surge but if you're not using it much for exercise, I think that would be…

This has me remembering my first meet. The worst thing was bench because I picked a weight too heavy for an opener and hadn't trained with a pause. So, I'm going to echo training with a long pause for bench. Something like touch chest, count 1-2 Press.

Summer Squash (goes great on the grill)

I like to steam shrimp together with some frozen california blend vegetables with a generous amount of old bay and pepper for a quick meal.

I live in SoMD and don't log crabs by weight either... that would be so tedious! I also don't weigh bananas if I'm taking them with me as the weight of the peel doesn't count and I don't want to bring the peel home and weigh it to subtract from the whole weight.

I won't say the very craziest... But a close second is moving 700 miles away to be with my then boyfriend who I met online and who I'd only been "dating" for 6 months and had spent only about 2 weeks total in person with. We broke up after 5 years of living together but I'm still living in the same area.

There are vegan weight gainer shakes that she may want to give a try. Otherwise, suggest making her own that she can take with her with protein powder, peanut butter, etc because drinks don't fill you up like regular food and she can drink those in addition to her regular meals.
