  • Should really be weighing yourself once a week, first thing in the morning naked before you consume and food or liquids and after you use the restroom. This is your true weight, also understand your weight can fluctuate for various reasons and should only be measures once a week as a way to measure if you've plateaued or…
  • Green tea, or really caffeine i should say, does aid in weight loss. There are several studies on this, and it shows that caffeine increases thermogenesis, fat oxidation and suppressed leptin. . Is it a magical weight loss cure? Not in the least bit but it does have benefits. And honestly it more the caffeine than anything…
  • 1500 is way too low, find a tdee calculator and start there, at your height and weight you should be eating probably double that .. less is not better you need to eat to lose weight, also nutrisystem is terrible you need real food if you want to achieve and maintain your weight loss
  • Yeah just the length of them was super impractical, hard to do certain movements and get a full ROM. They're really long, but if you can find a great deal then hey go for it i used them for the time i had them but ultimately like i said i prefer standard dumbells
  • Not a fan, in my experience they were cheaply made, waaaaaay too big and not practical, plates get stuck and a plate fell out and i had to fight with bowflex to replace it... ended up selling mine and just bought real dumbells for my house ... there are some adjustables out there I've seen and a few I've used that are…
  • A few things, it increases my energy, body temp, and gives me multiple supplements in one that aid in fat loss like niacin, yohimbine, caffeine, b12 ... I'm cutting so any thing i can do to aid in that process is welcomed, my nutrition and exercise is dialed in now I'm looking to drop my bf down a little more to see where…
  • Yeah tiny little oval tablets over here, 37.5 mg
  • Aaaah ok i understand, yeah the sides can be brutal. The first 2 days back when i was taking it was a little rough and i had to definitely adjust but afyer some time they got manageable... did you try spliting a pill in half and taking one half in the am and the second at noon? I get it though everyone has different…
  • ? Evil crap... how?
  • Time to up that protein and carbs, eat eat eat ... best bet is go above tdee 500 cals to start with and start hitting the weights emphasizing proper form, compound movements, bench, squat, deads, high rep range and start with low weight to maximize proper form and time under tension... its a slow process but you can gain…
  • What's your point?....
  • 9lbs in less than a month is pretty quick... you have to get rid of these biggest loser expectations, all these lose weight quick schemes and bloggers and the media in general who just want to sell you something. Embrace your journey and be happy that you are losing and taking steps to the you that you want to be, set in…
  • I agree with that, i have no issues with vegans/vegetarians, and there are plenty of ways for them to get protein. I was kind of unsure if the original post was pointed towards that lifestyle or what the whole direction of the post was
  • Get sugars, and some bcaa's ... protein synthesis is a long process its not necessary to gulp down a shake immediately after a workout, but for recovery bcaa's and some sugar.. a few gummy bears or a pixie stix, fruit, peanut butter or something will help with gycogen levels. Glycogen creates atp which helps with the…
  • As a bodybuilder i cant stress enough the importance of protein, and thats not just as an athlete or bodybuilder but for anyone looking to lose weight. Number 1 protein is the number one most satiating macro there is, proper protein equals proper appetite, also if you are deficient in your protein intake chances are you…
  • You will only gain the weight back if you don't use the phentermine as a tool to train yourself into better eating habits, like i said in the comment above i took it off and on and in the time i took it i lost weight, havent gained a single lb back. Its not a miracle drug, its only a tool in your bag but you can't build a…
  • I have taken it off and on, it works but it also has its side effects that aren't so great... definitely helps in getting the cravings in check I recently have been cutting and have been using sst performix its in my opinion better than phentermine, doesn't have crazy chemicals and is cheaper than what I was paying for a…
  • I do it from time to time too, also i will sometimes bank my macros so i can eat more of one thing in a larger portion in a given week. Idk if its unhealthy or a problem but i know i love it and haven't had any issues or set backs
  • I've had mine for about a year and a half ... i like it .. its been pretty accurate from as far as i can tell, bf% isn't gonna be 100% dead on but it gives you a general range Syncs great with fitbit as well i haven't had any syncing issues and you can add multiple users
  • Whey protein L dopa Bcaa's Creatine Beta alanine Aakg
  • My bench has fallen off quite a bit since my injury and I'm trying everything i can to get it back up. I tore my Labrum in my left shoulder last year as a result of an injury i had in high school playing football, 17 years ago.... ugh 80% tear and really pushed myself to get my strength back up ... but my bench has never…
  • I've used it off and on, best when cycled because you build a tolerance and also ot is habit forming It can work but isn't a miracle pill, i was taking 37.5 mg at first, appetite was nearly non existent for about 10 hours which kinda sucked cause i had to force myself to get all my cals, but it did put my cravings in check…
  • Stop being so sensitive about a singular word, you're reading way too much into it instead of just taking what advice is being given, if its something you can apply to your situation or something you think you'd like to try then great... if not then simply disregard, no reason to turn someone's post negative when they are…
  • Jesus christ how is anything i said a "blanket statement" lol so much hate in this "community" when I'm simple just trying to help someone acheive their goals, figured I'd give it another chance and maybe the last time was just an isolated incident but i guess i was wrong, and now you have returned randomly to hate on me…
  • And i read OP's OP and they actually even said they avoid sugars ans processed foods, so this whole debate is moot at this point, unless you guys want to pick out another minute detail in my suggestions to berate lol
  • I didn't say " this is what you must do" lol What i said in my exact words was "cut sugars out of your diet as much as possible.." As well as "TRY those little tweaks for a few weeks and see if that helps" I'm pretty sure i was being suggestive and my advice wasn't framed as demanding or absolute in any way at all Also…
  • I chew hella gum and drink water like I'll never have it again in my life lol
  • The OP never even said they had a issue with simple sugars lol it was literally just me making a suggestion and was only one in a sea of great advice.... how'd we get stuck on this Why does this always happen when i comment
  • I agree with this, and like i said i have my sweet treat after the gym but, i think when it comes to making lifestyle changes its better to try and really make those changes and reverse bad habits as much as possible, as time progresses we always find that comfortable and happy medium and what works for us eventually
  • Satiety can easily com from protein, as well as more beneficial fibrous complex carbs and healthy fats.... simple sugars, processed sugars and simple carbs in general i think should be reduced as much as possible... again thats just me as i can see much more beneficial ways to use thise macros, adherence is will power in…
