I forgot to say that you need to eat good fats: nuts, peanut butter (just with nuts and salt in it, not the crap hydrogenated fat pb's), olive oil, avocado's etc. Healthy fats and keep cholesterol and saturated fats at the American Heart Association levels. I try to eat .75 grams of protein per pound of body weight. My…

Hey Tom, I lost 50 lbs since January 1. A New Year's resolution change for me. First time I've ever kept up a resolution and now it feels like a life style. Here's how I did it: Nutrition plan - tried to eat whole foods, tried to avoid simple carbs, just had complex carbs . Ate more veggies, had chicken, fish, turkey, and…

Dear Mocha Mommy, Try eating food with only one ingredient. Use a food scale for 100% of everything you eat. You might just be at too low a daily caloric intake. 1500 should do the job without stressing the body to shut down/slow the metabolism way too much. You do a lot of exercise and you burn calories besides the work…

I'd experiment slowly and add 200 calories in one week and see how it affects your weight. Slowly add and monitor because you don't want to slip into bad habits and have a weight gain rebound if you eat too many calories. Maintaining is an art and a science.

I totally disagree with your comment that Athlean X is a scam. The comment is beyond ludicrous. Everybody has different goals. If you want to be ripped and in shape like an athlete, then he's your man. The guy knows more about physiology, physical therapy, and psychology than most of the so called experts. As you become…

Great job! What were your daily calorie, macro goals?

You can only eat in surplus for so long because you gain fat and it coats the muscle. Once you get too fat, then you have to find your basal rate and subract 250 calories from it too lose some of the fat. Easy to get a beer belly and get stronger lol

I have stopped exercises that put a direct strain on the tendon: 1 arm rows, bicep curl, pull ups and substituted with less stressful exercises. Elbow is improving.

I like the Kirkland Protein Bars which some have said are similar to Quest Bars but less costly. Sold at Costco.

Use this calculator and subtract 20% from the maintenance calories to arrive at your daily caloric intake. Monitor your weight and after two weeks if you're not losing weight subtract 100 calories a day . You Want to shoot for half a pound to 2 pounds a week weight loss maximum. Anything more than that is unsustainable and…

Not to be rude, but you provide little information in your question. Are you snacking with unhealthy foods? Healthy foods? Is it a mental health issue related to stress, anxiety, or depression?

Nice info

Besides the chemicals, phosphoric acid can contribute to enamel breakdown and possibly contribute to osteoporosis in the long run.

Try this book from your library: SPARK from John Ratey. It could be very helpful.

You put your left foot in you put your left foot out.....oops wrong technique lol

An African airline charges their ticket price by the weight of the passenger. Stuff is coming down the pike that is heavily going to discriminate against overweight and obese people. In the U.S., we have only begun to see the penalties that will begin to form for those that are overweight and obese i.e. premium surcharges.…

A weight gaining boomerang effect once she stops exercising.

I totally agree. Bingeing, eating poorly etc, is an addiction just like cigarettes and nicotine are an addiction to smokers. When I get high and mighty about disgusting smokers are (killing themselves, stink up the joint, personally smell), I just think of how I'm eating, and work on myself, before I pass judgement. I do…

"Since the dawn of time, there have been women who used men like ATM machines" Some lunatics would call that "justice".

Every one pays in the end lol

Congrats on your amazing accomplishment. Very inspirational!

Hot washboard abs on super smoking babes!!!!!!!

Looking so good!!!!!

Today is day 78 for me on P90. It works. Just be consistent and of course 80% of success is built in the kitchen.

Exercise 5-6 days a week for the rest of your life, eat a clean healthy whole food meal plan, use MFP to monitor your overall calories, protein, carbs and fat intake, eat plenty of low fat protein sources--turkey, chicken, fish, nuts, beans, brown rice..eat complex carbs...minimize simple carb foods, don't eat after 7pm…
