  • Diet and do HIIT cardio versus LISS
  • You're exactly right...what you wrote is what i meant to write.
  • Haha!!! Ditto! I have a friend who is training for a marathon and is already thin with a fast pace 6-7min mile. He's gained 10lbs he says but that it's "probably muscle". His best friend who is running with him says "yeah right, you had a whole pizza after last nights run". It's b/c you are overestimating how many calories…
  • C'mon you have to be more patient then this or you will drive yourself crazy!! You are introducing your body to new things and it will take some time before it realizes what is going on. I once trained a woman who tracked everything she ate for 9 weeks straight. She did 60 mins of HARD cardio(spin classes) 4-5x/week and…
  • can you not do a cardio machine while reading? If you can balance on a exercise ball I would think you could do a cardio machine as well. At my gym there are many who will go for an hour or more when engaged in a good book. I know for me though its sportscenter on the TV that keeps me going longer.
  • For the same reason you don't see many women lifting upper body heavy, and doing nonstop cardio. They want to work their "problem areas" and never focus on their true weaknesses. Anyone who ONLY lifts is usually afraid of getting small, anyone who ONLY does cardio is afraid of getting fat. It's really ironic when if those…
  • Have you seen this guy people? He's a powerlifter of which almost all lifts involve the legs/glutes. I feel you man I have had a big *kitten* my whole life, but also enjoy lifting legs heavy and often ever since competitive sports from college/high school. It seems as if guy's jeans this day and age are made for women. I…
  • Vince Vaughn from "Wedding Crashers"..... Janice: I've got the perfect girl for you! Jeremy Grey: [sigh] Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on…

  • Thank you for this!
  • Unless you're willing to go thin crust the calories are always going to be higher. Try using the La Tortilla Factory - Smart & Delicious Soft Wraps - Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Whole Grain White = 100 calories and tastes great! It'll be somewhat like having your pizza on a tortilla chip but still does the trick for me. I love…
  • Uh no.......unless you want to take a chance on explosive diarrhea...chachacha
  • hahahahaha....i was thinking the same thing. Bump
  • You should strive for a lean protein, complex carb, and healthy fat for most meals but especially the first meal of the day. How much you should eat depends on your size and goals. I would shoot for at least 20-30 grams from a lean source. I prefer egg whites, skim milk, or a whey shake is an option. My only aversion to…
  • From WebMD: Exercises to Avoid if You Have Rheumatoid Arthritis Are there any kinds of exercise you should avoid if you have rheumatoid arthritis? In general, you should be careful about activities that put a lot of stress on a joint, or are "high-impact," such as: Jogging, especially on paved roads Heavy weight lifting…
  • It can also be a sign that your body has gone into Ketosis. I've done this before when dieting extremely hard for a amatuer BB contest. Your breath will be bad, sweat will stink......not exactly the best thing either b/c it also means your body could be breaking down muscle for energy. Just means you need to raise your…
  • Anything cheap, with the least ingredients, and without maltodextrin. Pure Protein from Target is what I'm currently using. It tastes good and is readily available.

  • I'm pretty sure it means different things to different people. Eating clean for me means cleaning up my diet from unneeded junk. Eating less processed and more whole foods. Definitely no added sugars....I honestly don't know what some people's big hang up is on dairy. So long you are within your calories and macronutrients…
