eat protein at every meal with your carbs, you'll feel full longer. If you have say, a bag of chips with no protein, you're going to be hungry a lot sooner after. Even half a serving of a protein shake with your snack will do wonders.

I stay on schedule if I'm hungry or not. I eat every 2 hours, so if I'm hungry I'll look at the clock and say to myself "only 30 minutes til I can eat" then drink 8-16 oz of water, that usually squashes hunger long enough. It's a trained thing, it works well for me. I also pre-log meals so I know what to look forward to,…

Low carb works pretty well, but 100g carbs per day should be your goal, the rest with lean protein and good fats. http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/one_hundred_gram_carb_cure

You are right, it doesn't matter for WEIGHT loss. However I'm more concerned about FAT loss, so it DOES matter.

You are right, I should have said energy not glycogen. What I wanted to add came from this article: "The first thing the body burns is protein, mainly because protein cannot be stored in the body. Proteins from alcohol are burned first followed by other proteins. These nutrients are dispersed in the bloodstream and any…

Yes, to maintain muscle, you should aim for 1g protein per lb bodyweight. For myself, it ends around 50%, and I was at 20% carbs, 30% fat since 100g carbs per day is kind of a magic number to keep your glycogen supplies up for daily activities, yet deplete them from exercise, forcing your body to convert fat for glycogen.…

The "trolling" isn't saying he's wrong, just that what he is saying is common sense talked about here daily and he talks about it as if it's groundbreaking material. It's widely known that you lose if you take in fewer calories than you burn and it doesn't matter where they come from. Thank you Law of Thermodynamics. I…

What did you think would happen when you put a bunch of hungry strangers on a forum with anonymity debating views about topics with mostly no true scientific facts to back them up?

oh my god, shut down the message boards, the problem is solved!

There so are! It wasn't my intention to put a wet towel on the thread, sorry if I came of that way! I'm certainly not here to argue lol. Your results are beyond impressive my friend!

great job! I have my 6 months coming up here in 2 weeks myself. just one thing, the no carbs after 5 is kind of a wive's tale.. a possible myth. I'm happy it worked for you, but there are few "laws" to losing weight. Keep it up, you'll reach your goal!

I'm 6 ft 4, wrist is 7.5, forearm is just under 12.5, no idea if they look small on me

I never said carbs affected cholesterol. They are often associated with foods that do raise cholesterol, so rather than make a list of food I tried to keep it simple.

From the Harvard Health Publication of the Harvard Medical School: Myth: All that cholesterol goes straight to your bloodstream and then into your arteries. Fact: Not so. For most people, only a small amount of the cholesterol in food passes into the blood. Saturated and trans fats have much bigger effects on blood…

Dietary cholesterol has almost no effect on blood cholesterol. Neither does a low fat diet. Cut out your refined carbs and watch your cholesterol get better. Eat 4 eggs a day, no sugar, no white flour, no cakes, no candy.. and watch your cholesterol get better. It's not the cholesterol number in your food at the end of the…

Also my fav snack is an apple with peanut butter.

I think I love you lol.. True story, at Thanksgiving I hadn't seen many of my family since before July 4th when I started. I'm down a lot, but was at roughly 20% bodyfat still, 22 pounds and 10% bf away from my ultimate goal. You'd swear I was annorexic by some of the responses I got. I can't possibly drop another 20, I…

I've had my carbs set at 20% (fats 30%, protein 50%) which nets around 100 carbs. After reading an in depth article about the magic 100 carb number on testosterone nation, I was also convinced that was the way to go. It works for most people wanting to build muscle, and for those wanting to lose weight. You won't go keto,…

Scrambled Eggs.. I eat 2 to 3 dozen a week!

Fitness Blender on Youtube.. I'm about to fire up one fo their workouts right now. They DO kick your butt!

Maybe you have a high belly button or low hip bones, because if not, your nutritionist measured wrong. The waist is at the soft spot between the top of the hip bone and below the rib cage. Your waist doesn't care where the little hole in your skin is on the front, and it isn't in the same spot for everyone.

stand in front of a mirror and bend to the side. where the skin creases is where your waist is. It is usually around 2 inches above your belly button.

Maybe when you miss your goal it can say: "Soandso has completed his/her food and exercise diary for 12/xx/2012 and was over his/her calorie goal but they tried, so here's a participation trophy to make him/her feel better!"

It should turn yellow 100 calories before your goal, and at 0, but red for even 1 calorie over. If you are even 1 calorie over, you didn't make it. If your bank account is 1 penny over drawn, It's in the red. I swear people just don't want to accept their failures. If you can't stay under your goal, accept that you don't…

Remember you eat for nutrition, not pleasure.

Several of these suggestions will maybe net you the same protein as a couple eggs but will triple your calories and take out half or more of your daily sodium. Be wary of advice on forums. Punch a few things in the mfp calculator, see for yourself what different breakfasts contain. Dairy has some protein, but it also high…

I have gained 10 pounds water weight from 1 Chinese food binge as well. It takes about a week or so to flush all of it out. Drink lots of water and tea. A really good sweat will get rid of some as well.

<--- invite that guy

ONS, might be a bit young for me, couldn't keep up for more than 1 night :)
