Chocolate covered insects are a delicacy! And we're getting them for free! I love the FDA..

Thanks for that. I gave up on trying to argue "nutrient timing" here. I know what works. As a college athlete, no one would have ever said "as long as you get enough electrolytes during the day, you won't need any gatorade going into the 4th quarter during a game in 100 degree weather, water will be just fine."

I know my peanut butter is legally allowed to have up to 152 insect parts and 10 rodent hairs per gallon, but I haven't slowed down on my PBJ's one bit!

Water, coffee, tea, even sodas, will hydrate you. Water still does nit's job. It's the other things in some of them that have adverse effects.

Just to be safe, I think I will start eating the tea bag and washing it down with water. but wait, it's going to start chemically changing in my stomach.. how long does that take? Do I count it as half-water then?

Hopefully a few more pounds.

there IS something that fills you up and suppresses appetite and you can have as much as you want.. water!

Good point. Also lots of stored glycogen was burned which flushes water with it, it can take more than 2 days for water levels to stabilize, it can even take weeks with drastic lifestyle changes. To lose 5 lbs of fat in 10 days, you'd have to be 1750 calories under every single day. Maybe you did?

96% lean beef is even better than ground turkey, less fat and more protein.

I don't want to say who is likely to hit their goal and who isn't, but... No. I've had 4 cheat days in 7 months. One was Christmas, one was Thanksgiving, one was my birthday (I got a pizza), one was by accident early on when my parents came in from out of state (Chinese food). I don't see why people want to potentially…

I weigh a couple times a week in the morning, right after waking up, after an "evacuation" and butt naked.

Damn, hot!

"The Situation" only drinks water. His abs made him famous. So I only drink water.

Monster Zero.. one or two a day.

I had a donut today instead of a peanut butter and jelly. I'll substitute, but a full on cheat meal can destroy everything you did through the week to cut a few calories here and there. I'll have aq cheat meal once a week when I get to maintenance.

Perfect example of why you need a program for your fitness level. I would cruise through power 90 without breaking a sweat. It wouldn't benefit me much. Insanity won't benefit you if you have to give up halfway through each exercise.

My last Army PT test (we run 2 miles) my total was 14:41... so about a 7:21 mile pace. I don't know if I could have kept it up for a 5k distance, maybe. I haven't timed since then, I'm sure I'm a little slower now. edit: I ran with the slow group. 15:10 was failing for my age group. We had a couple guys in the company run…

lol you don't look like you need any help at all.. you should be giving ME advice!

Mmmm... calf...

Well.. soreness = deal with it. Injury = stop. You'll know the difference. Besides, the soreness and stiffness you will feel is laectic acid build up in your muscles. It won't hurt you, and the best way to get rid of it, is to keep moving it. Farther into the program, you won't get the build up, and you'll be killing every…

We could "rest" in the up position, kind of like a downward dog position and that was ok. :)

I have friends who prefer Chalean Extreme and Power 90. I definitely recommend starting with one if you haven't done any programs yet. I didn't, but maybe I should have. P90X is definitely good. I did a round of it, could barely do more than half the exercises for full duration, then used a few dvd's in a modified program…

I suppose you can touch as long as you aren't taking any weight off your muscles. Speaking from someone with a military background where we were graded only on perfect form push ups, we could not touch our chest to the ground, nor rest in the down position. There's no rules for push ups per say, but if you are touching…

My home ===> goals ===> change goals ===> check "custom" hit continue ===> set carb/fat/protein percentages.

Yes. plus your muscles are screaming and trying to recover. Muscle holds water when it's recovering. That's more water weight.

ons, you're already married

I don't do cheat days. I have done 3 cheat meals in the last 6 months that I can remember. If you aren't taking a step forward, you are taking a step backwards. That's what I like to think anyway. If you ate at a perfect 1000 calories deficit (which is needed for your 2lbs a week goal most people set) for 6 days, you are 1…

Did you know the main carbohydrate in human breast milk is also lactose? Yet we still develop lactose intolerance.. so why is it lactose from cows that causes it? Haven't we been drinking breast milk for ages longer than cow's milk? did you know how bad the added chemicals in almond milk are? Did you know the calcium added…

Just skipped the whole thread didn't you.. kind of amusing to see you brng up points that were argued to death 7 page ago. To put it bluntly, you're wrong. So is her friend.
