  • I drink 1 1/2 or more gallons a day. It's rare to overhydrate. If you aren't drinking so much because of diabetes then you should be fine. You might possibly want to add electrolytes, I do about every week or so because of my workouts, if you find that you are dehydrating even while drinking what you are.

  • I really enjoy ice cream. It is my downfall. I don't keep it in the house. I went to Dairy Queen and ordered a large blizzard. Afterward I realized it was upward to 1500 calories. It wasn't worth it to me because I felt like I had undone a lot of hard work (I burn close to that a day in exercise). Since then, I keep a type…

  • If you are going to use whey protein make sure your water intake is sufficient. I prefer protein shakes but I do a lot of fitness and use it to help keep muscle.

  • you are right. I am trying to get my walking weight down to 155 but right now am at 185 but continuing to drop. I am also a 38 yr old female who has been training less than a year but fell in love with the sport.

  • Great job. How many sets is that. I know 1 set is 8 rounds 20 sec on 10 sec off. When my partner is in training mode we do supersets which is 64 rounds about 30 min. Just be careful with the over indulgence. My instructor likes to say you can't exercise off a bad diet. It doesn't take long to ruin an entire day's worth of…

  • There is no way you're doing 6 hours training a day and being the size you are in your photo. Or if you ARE doing 6 hours, its very low activity. @gc 384 Your statement isn't correct. I am training to become a fighter and regularly train 4-7 hours daily in Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu jitsu, weights, swimming, cardio etc. I am…
