No you don't you just need to be in a deficit. You can even gain weight in ketosis if you're overeating.

You can make them using vitafiber and protein mix. Just google homemade quest bars.

"Overfeeding can have profound effects on leptin concentrations in the body. However, not all macronutrients are created equal. Fat overfeeding does not elicit the same leptin response as carbohydrate does. In fact, fat has virtually no effect on leptin concentrations, and in some cases even reduces leptin levels.14,15,16…

When I wasn't able to control my eating habits IF helped me out with that. Timing my meals around the end of the day so I would go to bed full. However I don't believe it has any benefits to increasing the amount I've lost when compared to traditional dieting. Tested through a few bulking/cutting cycles. My experience with…

As long as you're hitting your caloric needs for the day it doesn't matter where your nutrition comes from. I would never go this route but say I had to for some unexplained reason I would go for a quality protein powder, whole foods carb powder, and I would also add in a whole foods greens powder over slimfast. Just my…

I believe you can if you pay the monthly fee with MFP.

Just adding this not sure if it was mentioned if your worried about the calories in artificial sweeteners, they offer liquid version which are 0 calories. The calories come from the fillers in the powdered form not the sweetener itself.

Kind of sounds like your talking about the serratus anterior muscles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serratus_anterior_muscle As you said you can't spot reduce and working on those muscles will help. You can lose fat in one leg and not the other, just keep it up and eventually everything will go.

This however if your REALLY anal about it you could weight the marinade before you put meat in and weigh it after. Usually tho as what I quoted said, its hardly any that actually sticks to the food.

Right now its a mind game to me, if I know I ate enough calories throughout the day I know I don't need to eat anymore. When I first started dieting tho what I did was Intermittent Fasting AKA IF unknowingly. I would time the majority of my meals around the end of the day. See I could deal with being hungry just not going…

Your gonna get a bunch of people saying it does nothing at all however the test results show different. Am I saying you NEED l-carnitine absolutely not and it isn't going to be THE reason that you lose weight. If you can afford to buy it then by all means go ahead, your also able to get it from foods. Video on it…

It's one of the hardest addictions to kick. A good thing to try if you haven't could be vaping as it has been proven to be 90% safer than cigs(not saying its healthy btw). It worked for me and if you have more questions about it feel free to msg me. Now onto smoking there are actually benefits to running or doing…

What I do which doesn't mimic a slushie completely but its a healthier version... I take some sugar free drink mix usually one of those water bottle packets. Throw it in a blender with some frozen fruit, something that compliments the flavor your using. So Say fruit punch ill throw in pineapple and a berry mix frozen.…

As others said its all about a deficit. HIIT cardio is really good in my opinion to aid since it induces the "afterburn." "The so-called “afterburn effect” is more officially known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption or simply, EPOC. And it isn't new in the world of fitness. Several studies suggest there's a strong…

Where in my post did I ever say eating clean is some magic to weight loss. The first link I posted even displays the opposite of that. Where they eat little debbie snack cakes as their primary source of calories and another where a guy is eating nothing but fast food in deficits. As I said in both cases they lost weight…

I agree thats what CICO actually is. However people do consider CICO to be a diet. With the belief that you can eat whatever you want as long as you're in a deficit. Became popular with the whole pop tart debacle.

If you've seen the documentary supersize me then I suggest watching…

I don't do IF anymore but when I did it worked. Not because its better than say a normal caloric deficit but when I first started I was an over eater. The thing that helped me with that was the feeling of being full. So if I timed my calories to be complete around the end of the day it gave me that full feeling. However…

Got a few “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.” “Excuses are monuments of nothingness. They build bridges to nowhere. Those who use these tools of incompetence, seldom become anything but nothing at…

Well its a thing with any new venture we all take. We tend to want to talk about it. Like when I first started working out I would tell my friends and family about what I was doing. They weren't interested. Why? Because they didn't have the same interest in what I was doing. Making friends who do have the same interests so…

"it a slow process don't make it slower by quitting" Just gotta stick to it figure out how your messing up and revamp. Some days/weeks/months will be challenging. Sure you feel better now then you did with 55lbs just imagine how much better you'll feel with the 54lbs off you. Look at it like this you haven't really taken…

Great for beards/hair too.

Yes that's what I mean they are flavorings used in those but most of the companies that make them were/are food flavoring companies. Shocked to hear someone else uses em on here lol. Their peanut butter flavor tho is probably the best I've tried(haven't tried any myproteins flavor drops)

Good to hear they are good, I usually go for their off the wall fruit flavors. Banana and pineapple were amazing. I would guess you might have used too much if its tasting chemicallish. Anothing company who makes a good pb flavor is http://shop.perfumersapprentice.com/p-6655-peanut-butter-flavor.aspx . I order flavors for…

You said you were still under your calories so everything is fine.

Doing anything new in life usually gives anyone that same feeling. The best remedy for me is to just keep going. eventually it'll get normal and you'll stop caring about other people. You might even meet some friends who would like to workout with you.

I would suggest as the person above to only use preworkouts on days you're tired. Only if you can afford it. If its gonna hurt your bank, coffee/caffeine pills do the trick. When I first started working out the sole reason why I was getting to the gym was preworkouts. All that extra energy that had to be expended. Was a…

Posted this before but here is a video on artificial sweeteners by Dr Layne Norton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dod6bUZYz4w

Ahh protein sludge! If you throw in the fruits frozen itll create that same feeling without having to deal with the stirring and time. Used to be my go to for breakfast... dip some rice cakes in it A+
