Here is a little secret. A lot of the companies don't actually manufacture the whey. They package it with their other ingredients. Find one that doesn't have added sugar and whatever you don't want to eat. The genetic whey probably came from the same place as the brand name.

What I said was not arbitrary. If she wanted what she said she wanted, she had many opportunities to help me help her. Instead she wanted to change her story and snark. Fine, I don't care what she does with her life. Others chose to snark as well. That's good too. Everyone can do what they want as far as I am concerned.…

This topic and the "I like to drink" topic make my hair hurt. Do WTF ever you like. Don't ask permission. If you really think this is the way to be for you, why are you saying anything at all?

Why would you possibly care what your clothes weigh?

This made me gigglesnort

You love an angry snarky outburst after asking a question and not liking the answer you heard? Perhaps you should check yourself too. When you ask a question, take the answer and either use it or disregard it. The fact that there is such an emotional backlash associated with hearing something you don't like really should…

If this is a serious question or something: Here is what happens if you go over your limit once for one day: Nothing. Don't do it again and you are fine.

Wow. 4-5 beers two or 3 times a week isn't much either huh? I am done here. Good luck.

So is it a glass of wine once or twice a week? A bottle of wine once or twice a week? In any case consider wine to be like sugar because that is what Alcohol is basically. So, you have the same issue as a Mtn. Dew chugger. It is fine if you plan and burn it, but if you make it a habit, it keeps your from reaching your…

They way you put it, it sounds like a drinking problem. Are you REALLY drinking 7 bottles of wine a week?

Only if you build your exercise in. I told her not to in order to keep the formula more dynamic, thus more accurate.

Common mistake. I help people with this on a daily basis. You will start to see results. Add me if you want and I can keep helping you learn what to do and how to do what works for you.

If you eat 20% less of what you calculated you will loose weight. If you eat what you calculated, you stay the same. That being said, (I know I told you this, but it is worth repeating) you have to eat back what you burn exercising.

No worries! We all start somewhere, but no one gets anywhere without trying.

This is not true for everyone. Some people need dairy, some people do great with soy. Depends on your body. Many of the "don't eat this ever again" things are simply fads. I have seen hundreds come and go. Almonds may be the most super super food ever invented, but if I eat them they will end me. Everyone is different.

This is really good! Maybe have yourself some eggs in there some days. But it is good you have diverse sources.

Ok, eat about 20% less than that and you will loose fat. On the days you work out you MUST eat the calories back OR you will loose muscle and not burn fat. That is bad. Not what you want. Protein that is good in shakes, supplements: Whey and Casein. Soy is fine, but it can keep your estrogen up. Doesn't do it to everyone,…

WHAT??!! Damn! :brokenheart:

Hard to say. I am told this by lots of people, and then it turns out that their actually not. Once again, what is it that you are eating? Does it have all 20 essential protogenic amino acids?

Ok, that was a rough one, but I think we are getting somewhere now. You also havn't said what your BME is or how much you burn when you workout and how you arrived at that number. Gaining muscle is the only way to loose fat, so if you do not want to gain muscle, I don't know what to tell you. Cardio will not help your…

Theses things are common, not strange.

Katy has such a cute puppy. I just want to fluff it and tug its ears.

I am a similar body type. What will happen if you don't enough is that you burn the muscle and don't build it back, keeping the body fat. You need to eat, and you need the right things. Lots of the advice people will give you about fruit and such will likely not work very well, especially if you do low intensity labor all…

Ok, I don't know if you are understanding the question, so here is the stick: When you exercise, you must replace that or you will start to starve. When you starve, you burn muscle and don't build. When you don't build, you don't burn fat, tighten skin or anything good. You will slowly loose weight, but it is lean body…

Soreness is from the buildup of waist in your muscles. As you become more fit, it happens less, or it is more accurate to say, your muscles become stronger and more efficient and therefore do not get sore like they did unless you drastically increase the effort. Cutting: loosing the fat. As apposed to bulking, or…

Are you eating back the exercise? That is the key question. Someone asks this same question here every day, so your answer is important in order to receive a reasonable answer from us.

It is possible to have too much of anything. That being said, you are not anywhere close to too much fish. Log the cals, watch your numbers and rock on.

Eat more. You lack food. The program you are using is called starving to death.

It is important to get all 20 essential protogenic amino acids. If you only want to eat vegan, I would strongly suggest getting supplementation that will accomplish getting the proper protein.

Good for you too start getting yourself in order. If your doctor hasn't done this with you already, go here: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html That will tell you what you need for the day. Given your condition don't go nuts. I would gradually reduce your calories, starting at 10%. not exceeding…
