I need motivation :(( Lol jk. I'm former ripped guy getting back to it after a series of events caused me to gain 60lbs. Down 36lbs in 100 days and I'm looking for people who are disciplined and know what they are doing. Add me if you are living the fitness lifestyle and getting that 8 -pack or pornstar booty is your goal.…

Thank you for responding. I must say it would have been easier if you'de just given a direct link to a pubmed study :D . Reading a non academic article is always someones interpretation, but this was a good read still. I did read through most of those pubmed studies and many of them were as I suspected, focused on body…

I'd really like to see your source for the claim that eating more than 1g/Kg of body weight is beneficial for promoting muscle hypertrophy in natural athlete that is already eating caloric surplus. His problem is not getting enough protein, its getting enough calories and staring at protein intake when he should be just…

Took about a week. Took about 2 weeks so every workout didn't end with me throwing up. I started to mix salt into water and drank some of that before the workout and I was a whole new person. I quit when I started eating maintanance/surplus. No way am I eating 3400kcal on one sitting :D Still ate everything after exercise…

This is all just from my personal experience: The amount of exercise should be adjusted to meet your goals and your ability to reach them. As a young student with sedentary work schedule and a lot of free time I've set a target of 450 mins of activity every week. My goal is to lose fat at rapid pace while maintaining…

I can do more reps with the same weight in leg press and visually my legs look bigger. I've been doing stationary bike at 120bmp few times a week in addison to training the whole body before refeed on weekends. I still am not quite assured that doing resistance training while fasted could lead to muscle growth if you do…

How and why does this happen? I actually think I made some progress in some of the lifts.

Why would you?

Yeah only water and coffee.

Care to elaborate why you think a doctor healing people with level 2 diabetes for a living is a quack? Wanna make a solid argument and not resort to name calling like a child?

The complete guide to fasting - Jason fung. You can find some of his lectures and interviews on YouTube and I recommend checking them out.

When you are on a regular caloric restriction diet and eat a deficit your body adapts to that deficit. This happens by lowering you metabolic rate and reducing musclemass. This is a well known fact. When you water fast for a longer period of time the body does the opposite and the metabolic rate raises up to 12% due to the…

I've done IF and OMAD succesfully and 52 days ago I started to diet again and decided to use variations of fasting as tools to shred the fat as fast as I can. Down to 101Kg after 5000Kcal refeed from 113Kg. I started by just going with 4/20 window, then after a month started to do every other day eating. It felt like…

If she has 60lbs of fat she can easily go on 2000kcals deficit without even losing muscle, so don't sweat it. Your body can use about ~35kcals per lb of body fat (74kcals/Kg) without having to break down muscle when on a caloric restriction diet that includes resistance training. But yeah that would put her in a starvation…

You are eating what someone who wants to lose weight would be eating: Fat and protein. This is a typical "hard gainer" mistake as foods that are packed with these are really dense and satiating. You need to start eating more carbs if you want to get more calories in a day. At 140lbs you don't need more than 70g of protein…

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. It's pure gold. Better than any modern self improvement book.

Naturally beautiful!

Looking for new MFP friends! I do strength training based on legit programs and cardio training to lose fat. I've been shredded once and on my way to getting there again: I've Lost 13Kgs in 44 days or something. Add me if you take fitness, training and nutrition seriously and like fellow minded driven people. I try to post…

I've successfully dieted using both systems, going keto and doing variations of IF. I think that IF is the way to go as lifestyle, keeping ketosis can be hard job and to me it just felt like a tool that can be used to boost fat burning for a period of time. I think doing keto alone is not worth all the hassle and is…

I actually bought a new fitness tracker today. I ended up choosing Vivosmart 3 over FitBit charge 2. They are in the same price range and have the same functionalities but vivosmart 3 is water resistant so that you can wear it 24/7 without taking it off for shower or swimming.

Hi everyone! I'm 25y student that has a summer project of getting fit. I've already lost 16lbs in the first month going from 250lbs to 234lbs ! I used to be in good shape once, but things happened and I find myself in the process of doing it all again. I'll get there even if it would take some extreme dieting and training.…
