HIIT is high intensity interval training. There are many different forums and workout routines you can follow for this. Essentially, you rapid cycle high intensity intervals with low intensity intervals. It helps to actually burn more calories than cardio. I've used a couple different supplements, primarily Fat Fighters,…

What got me past the plateau was hitting up more HIIT, less strength training, further calorie restriction, more water

Say what you want but I've gotten some pretty decent results with those things that supposedly don't work.

Just as an update, I finally busted past the plateau of being at 205 for nearly a month. I weighed in at 200 this weekend. Now that I've hit my initial weight goal, I'm going to ramp up strength training for a few weeks before going back to HIIT for a few weeks so I can continue to change it up.

Never used soyrizo before. Lean ham sounds like a good substitute. I may go back to using turkey sausage or something similar.

Thank you for the info

It always sucks to not see the needle moving on the scale. Though we see the benefits in how we look and feel, we're naturally concerned with the scale and that can get us down. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't down about hovering at 205 for the past MONTH. It's seriously pissing me off, regardless of the fact that I know…

My blood markers are good. I was just concerned with the restrictions MFP was telling me I should stay under. I'll continue as planned unless indications change to show I need to reduce cholesterol, fat, etc

That's actually a great question. I just realized they were flagged. I'm still getting used to MFP and didn't even realize there was a flag button down there.

I'm still a long ways out from actually getting serious about taking any. I've still got a long way to cut, but I just thought I'd get opinions from my fellow MFP'ers.

To be fair, water doesn't help directly with weight loss, but if you constantly operate dehydrated, then your body won't be as productive at removing toxins, digestion, etc. which compounding issues lead to weight gain. Right?

- I take a vegan protein from It Works. It's yellow pea and sprouted brown rice protein. I like it because I don't have some of the bloated feeling that I used to get with whey. - For BCAA's I sometimes use the generic GNC brand, grape flavored

Thank you!

Thank you for the tip! I'll go in and adjust my protein

MFP currently has me at 1850 calories. I will continue to work on cutting down BFP and eat at a deficit till I reach a good percentage. I don't know that I've ever been at 12% but I sure will try.

That's what I thought. I got 134g yesterday and it was showing red like I had too much protein, which is confusing.

MFP currently has me at 94g protein recommended. Should I be doing 1g/1lb weight or the recommended 94g?

I definitely know that BFP is entirely too high, but would packing on muscle help to burn that faster if returned to a deficit in 6-8 weeks?

The supplements I've been taking helped to increase metabolism and burn fat as well as prevent absorption of fat/carbs. Not only did I lose 30 lbs but I dropped 4 notches in my belt. I'm not discounting water and diet as having anything to do with that weight loss, but a portion of it is due to supplements as well. I tried…

I'm using a vegan protein powder because I don't like the bloating of whey. I'm also using BCAA's for post workout to go along with protein. Aside from those, I'm taking greens to help supplement nutrients, multi-vitamin, a couple natural weight loss supplements to include a thermogenic fat burner, and a fat blocker that…

Dang! I was going to drop by after work and check it out.
