  • Just quoting the whole thing because it's right on. Also I stick to the "no eating for 2 hours before bed" rule.
  • I tried Whole 30 twice and lost a good amount of weoght but then gained it all back. Had no weight loss when I went gluten free. Calorie counting daily is the only thing that's worked for me. Calorie count and ultimately make a goal to decrease fat and carbs. Avoid simple carbs at all costs. Don't eat processed food as…
  • -Quinoa -Brown Rice -Oatmeal -Cheerios
  • Other calorie counters say the same for someone at 300 pounds. Yeah you'll want to probably not want to get lower than 2000/day. What can haopen is your body slows your metabolism down so much that you will no longer lose weight and then you'll burn out and gain it all back. Here's some good higher calorie snacks: -Bananas…
  • Check out the first few paragraphs of this article. If a bodybuilder is saying diet slow, I'd listen. http://www.simplyshredded.com/layne-norton-the-most-effective-cutting-diet.html
  • Well nothing is useless. There's just always something better. If you want to get good at pushups someone did the hard work of the math for you: http://hundredpushups.com/test.html Also I might advise putting your calorie intake at 1lb lost per week and then begin jogging a mile 2-3 times/week. My concern is that 2lb…
  • Hey I'm Kevin. Im 5'9" and 178...the lowest I've been in years! I'm working to get to 165, which I used to think was impossible before calorie counting. Really I just want my body fat to be low enough that I have a defined six pack.
  • Short term: -Get to 180 pounds (finished!) -Lift weights consistently 3x/week (last week was my first 3x/week success) Long term: -Get to 165 lbs and/or have a visible six pack -Increase muscle mass, specifically in my arms -Run a 6-6.5 minute mile with a 20lb weight vest on
  • I found this to be a good source for healthy recipes http://www.thefoodee.com/tag/whole30/ We have an 18 month son, and live with my in-laws to help with some medical needs so I get the struggle. Would love to share some thoughts, but what are you looking for more specifically?
  • Also I avoid fruit as a snack or anything with a high GI level. I found that high GI foods give me hunger cravings maybe an hour after the snack, and sometimes gives me headaches. Also sometimes I bring string cheese or unsalted mixed nuts if I'm feeling extra hungry that day and my calories for the day allow it.
  • I work in the car and know the mindless eating struggle. I pack three or four sandwich bags of snacks and a small hot meal for my lunch. The sandwich bags aleays have veggies in it (carrots, zucchini, spinach, bell peppers, cucumber, and brussel sprouts are my go to. All raw). I snack on those throughout a 10 hour day, and…
  • Yeah I always use duct tape carefully placed and trimmed to not cause friction

  • Same here
  • I've heard the reason stuff like The Biggest Loser shows don't work is because it slows the person's metabolism down too much and the workout is too intense for the normal person to maintain. Because of that I avoid fasting days. I want my metabolism to speed up not slow down. I do a cheat meal once or twice a week. I try…
  • My wife and I have done the Whole 30 twice. Food: Go to this website to find good Whole 30 meals http://www.thefoodee.com/tag/whole30/ I did lose the bloated feeling you get after eating. That was amazing, I loved being able to move around easier, but you'll also miss that feeling. I recommend sweet potato fries you make…
