I enjoy beer, bourbon, and Irish whiskey, many varieties, at least one drink per evening, and whatever I'm in the mood for; it's nice to have several brands to choose from. However, if you're following a P90X program, is one beer a day going to make a difference? For me, it's about what you eat before or after a cocktail.…

*based on my own experience* I've been counting calories to maintain weight for many years, and I recently purchased a Nutribullet. Although the calorie counts are relatively high with the 'nutriblasts', I'm definitely experiencing a small increase in my metabolism (a little more energy). My typical blast is almonds,…

I like adding coconut water, pineapple, and banana to help with the taste. For some reason, adding few ice cubes, and letting the nutriblast chill for an hour seems to improve the flavor.

I would check it out. After some research, I purchased the Nutribullet Pro 900 two weeks ago. I find it a great tool to consume at least a small percent of the rda every morning. Blending the mixtures is relatively quick, and the cleanup might set this "nutrient extractor" apart from all the others. I'm a noobie, but I'll…

If you can, weigh before. But I usually cook an entire box for the week, and I've determined that roughly 2 oz dry pasta equates to 4 oz cooked. I may get a lot of feedback on this, since pasta takes on moisture at different rates, depending on the type, and cooking time. So this is what I've determined specifically for…

Since there are multiple sources of back pain, you'll have to do some research after considering these responses. You'll eventually find what works for you. Hopefully, just adding daily stretching, and gradually building up the core will relieve the pain, or at least allow you to meet your exercise goals without too much…

My weight swings drastically (1-5 lbs) from morning to night, and day to day. Although I weigh myself every morning because that scale is staring up at me, I only log Tuesday mornings. I watch the graph over time to see if the trend fits my goal. For me, body weight is only a portion of the evaluation of progress.

I always use my hrm. Also, this is a common topic on these posts; if you do a search, you'll find a great deal of opinions and references on the subject.

HRM, Polar FT7!

Green tea and almonds seem to work for me during the morning-afternoon. Post-dinner hunger usually eliminated with two Hershey kisses. If that doesn't work, I'll eat a few jalepeno pepper rings; can't feel my tongue after that! Add notes to your daily log and document how long after a meal/snack you're hungry again. Good…

That's too funny. There's a few good brands out there that come with multiple bud sizes; try each one until the fit is right. And one ear canal could be a little bigger/smaller than the other so don't feel weird mixing the sizes. My issue is snagging the earbud wire and ripping the darn bud but of my ear-very annoying.…

I stopped factoring the calories burned as estimated from my hrm. Check with the experts, but I believe the calorie burn value estimated from heartrate is based on a statistical correlation. I do use the hrm to monitor and maintain my calculated target heartrate during cardio. But for me, I just make sure that I keep…

I purchased the Chefmate® 3-in-1 Digital Scale based on some detailed research. Very happy with the device after 4 years of use! Amazon rating is 4.7 out of 5

Exactly.

I eat jalapeño slices. It doesn't take too long before my mouth is burning, and eating doesn't seem so appealing! It's no more than 10 calories.
