The biggest loser was extremely dangerous, even under medical supervision. Kai Hibbard has said a lot about what they went through and even Jillian Michaels quit the show three times because she was concerned about the poor care of the contestants. From less then 1,000 calorie a day diets, there first workout was 4 hours…

I felt a difference in about a week. I avoid grains, processed foods and dairy(since I'm lactose intolerant). The biggest thing I've noticed is my mood and energy levels are a lot more stable. I have a major sweet tooth, so I enjoyed my two days of gaining weight during Christmas but have been a bit depressed on the second…

I've lost 120 pounds out of 140 over two years, so I'm having two cheat days. My Aunt and Uncle traveled half way across the country to get here for Christmas. It's going to be a nice Christmas dinner tonight. Yesterday was spent with my girl friend and her mom and we had a nice buffet out. I'm hoping to have lost the last…

I went through a 9 month period of time when I would throw up after every single meal. After throwing up I ate crackers, was in pain and would force my body to sleep while holding down the crackers. The first 3 months my general practitioner was testing out different acid reflex pills on me. When that didn't work it was…

I agree with this. Surgeons have people do the liquid diet before a weight loss surgery(example : gastric bypass) so that the liver shrinks. Typically liquid diets aren't as filling as whole food so it makes it pretty hard to stick to long term. Another thing about dieting is not only about weight loss, but how you plan to…

Well that's really good information to know. I didn't know that. One question I would have is when doing lunges, if you go down far enough, would that also work the hamstrings?

I weigh daily, at 9am without eating/drinking anything, after going to the washroom and without clothing on. It's very consistent that way.

For thighs lunges are great. Do you have stairs at your place? For calves stand on the stairs with your heel off of the edge and raise your body up with your Calves. Then as you go down, the further down you go the more stretch you'll get in your calves. Googling home workout exercises works as well. On a separate note…

Yeah, whey protein is a food source, but I'm talking about whole food sources that'll keep people fuller for longer should liquid calories not fill a person up that much. Whey protein goes through your small intestine in an hour and a half which is really fast. Either try mixing it with other things to slow it down or…

I don't think it really matters as long as it keeps him full for long enough. Generally speaking whole foods take longer for the body to breakdown/absorb then a powder. If he gets hungry fast after having the shake, you may want to try whole try switching to whole foods. Otherwise I'd just continue what you're doing.

I think it's to do with the emotional connection we get with having animals as pets. I have had a rabbit, chinchilla, dogs and cats. I couldn't ever imagine those types of animals being eaten without being sick to my stomach. I haven't had any emotional connections with cows or chickens so it makes it easier for me to eat.…

Usually when talking about how much protein per pound of bodyweight, it's per pound of lean bodyweight(your body with no fat left). For me, as a 6 foot 2 man, I estimate my lean bodymass to be at around 162 pounds so 120 protein a day is just over 0.7% From my experience that much protein is more then adequate to put some…

Generally speaking for an adult, 100bpm or higher is considered too fast. The average is usually 60-90bpm. Your heart rate can fluctuate by the minute which is influenced by whether you are sitting, standing, laying down, medications if you're taking any or even how stressed/relaxed you are. Just to be safe, I'd recommend…

Nuts like walnuts and almonds are pretty filling so I measure out some of those and also drink 900ml of water. Apples also are very filling if I don't feel like having veggies for supper. I plan for a snack while making my supper. Usually when my stomach is really empty, gum doesn't really work because I need something to…

So the first thing you're going to need to know about muscle building is proper nutrition is needed and you're going to be needing to eat enough. There is 9 essential amino acids that we need to supply our body with, these are the amino acids that our body can't create. If we workout and don't supply our body with enough…

There was a quote that stuck around in my head from Athlean X on YouTube who is one of the best fitness trainers on YouTube. I'd actually suggest you look him up for different excersizes so you can learn how to do excersizes safely. The video was about 5 things ripped lean people do. The one quote was lift what you should,…

Yeah, I'm pretty much doing the same thing. One cheat meal is for Christmas and one is for my two year anniversary with my girl friend. Since we are doing 500+ calorie deficits, a 1,000 calorie cheat meal isn't too bad because it's two days worth of dieting so we should still lose weight throughout the week. Just can't do…

Drop your bodyfat percentage down to about 10% and do some ab exercises. The diet which is easiest depends on you. I'd say find good foods you like and make a diet around it. Like for me I have a major sweet tooth so doing Paleo with tons of fruit is easy to do because I constantly enjoy all of the fruit I eat. But if you…

Here is a tip for you. When you're having a cheat meal, aim for maintenance calories for the day, don't cheat to gain weight. This way you aren't going backwards from your goal, but you still get a treat. Do understand if you have a lot of sodium in a meal from a cheat that it'll still appear as if you gained weight. But…

I know two people who have done Keto and boy is there a lot of bro science regarding that diet. The first time on Keto they found this youtuber by the name of Stephanie Keto Person. She recommended having 200g of fat daily for 6 months to a year to get a person fat adapted but you had to gain fat for the first 6 months of…

I like tighter fitting clothes better. (shows off my pecs and arms) I'm seriously ill and hate not being able to go to the gym. A silly cold can't stop me from from going to the gym. I'm almost in Onederland again(120 pounds down, 2.5 pounds to go) ^_^

If the thought of eating 2,100 calories makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to jump to it right away. Try increasing your calories by 100 or 200 weekly so it's not a big jump, keep track of your weight and you'll learn what works for your body in the process. Just take it at your own pace as you get more comfortable…

Awesome, thank you very much!!!

I'd really recommend looking up Athlean X on YouTube. He's a physical therapist and pro athlete trainer that I've been following for the last year of my training. He's one of the most credible fitness guys on YouTube. He also has a deadlift check list video if you want to check it out for proper form.
