Quercetin has been shown to increase energy expenditure in rats, but only for short periods (fewer than 8 weeks).[29] Effects of quercetin on exercise tolerance in mice have been associated with increased mitochondrial biogenesis.[30] In mice, an oral quercetin dose of 12.5 to 25 mg/kg increased gene expression of…

It's unfortunate that you have to put up with mental abuse while trying to better yourself. And don't try and call it something else, it is mental abuse! Words like that stay with people for a long time. For some it stays forever. I can't tell you ignore it, because when it comes from someone you care about, you'll hear…

Here's what I do. It's not terrible to be just under your goal. If I'm not hungry I won't eat. If I am, at night, I have a protein shake. I stay away from carbs before bed most of the time. Though I have had a piece of wheat toast from time to time before bed. (No butter, light jelly)

that's what mfp is for! It should give you a daily target to stay at or under.

Did 75 in 2 minutes at my peak (Army physical fitness test) age 27 I am back into the mid 40's now (46 so far) age 36

Work for what? They work to build your ab muscles. Unless you lose what's covering them, you won't see them. No such thing as target weight loss. Don't work them out more than twice a week on a hard training regiment. On a normal one, once a week. You wouldn't do squats every day, would you? I would rather do a few planks…

Last time I took "fat burners" were when they worked.. well! IT was in the hey day of the ECA stack. Xenadryne. It was like speed though. I quit when I got an irregular heartbeat from it.

I drink around 2 gallons a day. I might pee a dozen times during the day at most. I learned in the military that any more than a light shade of yellow means you're dehydrated. We were made to drink LOTS of water, and I like how I feel when I'm saturated with water. I also drink it for appetite suppression. A lot of times…

The vampy look is hot

Simple carbs, if not burned off, are the first things turned into fat storage. Though, thanks to the laws of thermodynamics, if the calories are green you should lose weight. It does seem like a lot of sugar for one day though.

You either want results, or you just kinda want results. I don't have cheat days. I want results.

River Pheonix when I was a little younger, after that I got David Borneaz and Nicholas Brendon.

At 213, water weight can vary up to 10 pounds. I think she needs to start logging her sodium intake before she worries about a hundred calories here and there.

Weight loss for me is a ratcheting effect. Stagnant for a 4-5 days, then 2-3 pounds drop. Stagnant for 4-5 days, then 2-3 pounds drop. I think when the scale starts moving for you, the bottom will fall out. Eat clean foods and exercise, and there is no way you won't see benefits. Hope you are taking measurements!

I love these stories. Not just because I can relate, or because they're funny.. but because I can feel the emotion in a lot of these posts. It also reminds me to never be that guy, because words can really scar people for a long time. Kudos for sharing with everyone.

actress! you have the look

I had to drill another hole in my work belt so I could keep my pants up!

When I need to push myself, I weigh myself every morning. I know you aren't supposed to, but for me it's a reminder to stay on my goal. I drink more water, because it satiates and I eat less. It also flushes out excess sodium so I retain less water overall. I eat more protein. Protein also uses more water to digest. It's…

I've never ever once looked for a thigh gap on a woman in respect to her being attractive or not.

I don't think I've ever seen a more BS report. A couple snipets and some he-said she-said by one doctor, glamorized for ratings. Tell you what, you do what has been working for you, and I'll do what has been working for me. Here's a tip.. posting on message boards doesn't burn calories.

Right, no reason to worry because you heard something somewhere once..

I'm not doing keto yet, but I'll be starting a cycle for a few months in December. Feel free to add me :-)

Lots of great points in this thread. I aim for 2+ gallons a day myself, but I am a lot bigger than most people.

Cheat days are only cheating yourself out of the hard work you've done. You can't take the weekend off from your diet like you do your job. Log it, earn the calories back through exercise, accept the fact you blew a few days of your diet, and you will probably carry a pound or two of water for a week because of the amount…

Lipton cold brew, and ice water.. Mio, Crystal Light, and diet Soda all have the same nutritional profile. Propylene glycol, Acesulfame potassium, and Potassium sorbate. Not good things for you.

50% carbs is too much, I'm sure he meant 50% protein and 30% carbs, which is about the right ratio of aiming for 100g carbs a day or just under.

100g of carbs per day, about 1g per lb bodyweight for protein, and natural fats. http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/one_hundred_gram_carb_cure

36 here, will be 37 in december
