One of the most studied supplements out there, got for it. Only downside, check with your doctor if being treated for kidney issues.

I didn't demonize anything. My suggestion was to ask him to keep them out of the house until you develop appropriate habits. Is he buying these things or are you making them? Should not be an issue for a loving spouse to help his partner. If you feel you can't ask him, yes then therapy may be appropriate.

You can't "ban" them but you can ask your husband to support you by not bringing them into the house, or hiding them and eating them out of your sight. At least until you develop appropriate habits. This is a health issue for you and I would expect he would support your efforts to live a healthy lifestyle. Good luck.

They can't sell books or get clicks if the "advice" doesn't change.

Sorry you are going through this. Do you have a physical therapist you're working out. Might be the best source since they will know what sort of limitations you have as you recover.

I posted this in another thread today on motivation I steal a comment on motivation from Dan John, a former educator, world class trainer, and Olympic lifter. He, like me is in his 60's. His (and my motivation) is to dance with our granddaughters at their wedding (and we don't want them to be teen brides). Our…

In most places in the US,one can call themselves a nutritionist with no training whatsoever, you want a Registered Dietitian which requires a Master's Degree and passing an exam. Timing of food intake is a pretty small part of nutrition (unless there is some health issue involved, diabetes as an example). As suggested,…

My kids are out of the house but I agree with this. For years I was at the gym when the door opened at 5AM to workout for an hours or so before going to work. At 5AM generally nobody wants you for anything. After work you can concentrate on the family.

@AnnPT77 has some good ideas/points, I'm around her age. I steal a comment on motivation from Dan John, a former educator, world class trainer, and Olympic lifter. He, like me is in his 60's. His (and my motivation) is to dance with our granddaughters at their wedding (and we don't want them to be teen brides). Our…

And look what the health of the typical American has done in the last 50 years, gone down the toilet.
-
The above is correct. Probably not being a weekend warrior is the best answer.

Would tend to agree, but then we have this: "The CDC found that only 10 percent of adults were eating the recommended servings of vegetables, with 12.3 percent eating the recommended servings of fruit." Full article:…

Where is the fiber that helps you poop like a regular (no pun intended) person?

If you're napping instead of working out when you get home, go to the gym.
-
Not my post, but looked at the programs. Ideally, for most people, one wants to hit the major muscle groups 2-3 times a week, emphasizing compound lifts, with at least 48 hours between sessions for the same muscle group. The programs posted fit the bill. The Pallof press mentioned is an "anti-rotation (core) exercise.…

@Retroguy2000 I think we are much closer to the same page than not. All my earlier posts suggested a 200 or so calorie bump above maintenance and compound lifts targeting major muscle groups 2-3 times a week. When you mentioned bulking I misread/misunderstood you to be suggesting a high calorie bro style bulk for the…
-
My thoughts are in my post you quoted. I think you need a slight calorie increase from your maintenance, consistent lifting, compound movements hitting every muscle group 2-3 times a week. Do this for 6 months and reassess. You need to build a good foundation. Good luck.
-
And that's fine. He's 40, from all his comments he has not been consistent lifting. I would consider him a new lifter. Plus his bodyfat is above the generally accepted range for bulking. If he bulks with a lack of consistency on the lifting he will just add fat. That is why I said workout and recomp for 6 months and then…
-
To be honest, a recomp, lowing bodyfat and staying at the same weight but with more muscle would probably give him the appearance of 4-6kg heavier he was looking for.
-
And for the love of all that is good, please don't focus on a percent or 2 difference in BF% or if you should eat something 30 minutes or 45 minutes after working out, if you need a min-cut, etc. This is just crap that is taking your thoughts away from what you need to do. LIFT 2-3 TIMES A WEEK, MAINLY COMPOUND EXERCISES…

If you like 150 extra calories a day vs 200 that's fine, but to me it's majoring in the minors. Remember in the US (believe the poster is non-US) calorie labels can vary +/- 20% of actual calories so 150 vs 200 is not material. My point would be, keep calories the same or slightly increase. Eat mostly clean foods, which…
-
It takes about 3500 excess calories to gain a pound. So if you add 200 calories a day for 30 days you should see about a kg in a month.
-
You mentioned earlier other than the purposeful exercise, you're sedentary. You would want to set you activity as sedentary and add the exercise for MFP I believe.
-
To be honest, for 10 years of "on and off training" (and I don't know what that is) you don't really appear to have much muscle except for your arms. I would ditch the bro split with all the isolation exercises (that generally emphasize the arms) these typically contain and get on a program with heavy (for you) compound…
-
To be honest, nutrient timing around exercise, for 99%+ of the population is majoring in the minors and a waste of effort. Is there evidence there is some benefit, sure but considering most people don't have their nutrition and training dialed in perfectly timing is just a distraction. This person isn't training for top…
-
In some cases this is true but as a society we have developed bad habits and want at pill to help us rather than take personal responsibility for our health.
-
Being disciplined is so hard ---> Most things worthwhile are hard. Keep grinding, good luck.
-
So what action(s) are you taking today to lose weight? Lower calories, more movement, etc?
-
So you think someone on 1200 calories a day eating 160 calories daily isn't shortchanging themselves nutritionally? I don't agree.
-
My point is if someone is on a lower calorie allowance the 159 calories represented by the cookies every day could cut into their caloric needs for health. If someone is needs and is eating 3000 calories a day to maintain, yeah eat the 3 Oreos. The lower # of calories one is consuming means they have to be very careful…
