Not trying to sound like I'm marketing or promoting really hard but I just happened to log onto the forums tonight because I had free time and saw a lot of posts about protein bars. For anyone looking for another alternative to Quest (I'll never go back after everything they've changed and done over the past year) there is…

The Lion's Choice. www.thelionschoice.com They are free from gluten, dairy, soy, corn, peanut, and eggs and have a really nice texture and also have probiotics in them. I personally like the birthday cake batter flavor the best but they rotate new flavors in monthly. You can also write in the additional notes section on…

Yes, it's possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time while doing a lifting program. It's called carb cycling. Look up Heidi Powell I think her name is and Chris Powell. You need to be able to follow it though or you won't see results as is the same with any style of eating or training. Good luck to you.

I've never had positive gut effects from using Glutamine. Sounds like a load of bologna. I supplement it after a heavy weight lifting session. Sometimes I find it helps with recovery and sometimes I don't notice a difference. My pre-workout and intra/post workout amino acids already have glutamine in them anyway.

Diet diet diet. That exercise isn't going to matter if your diet is CRAPPO. 80% legit nutrition (think, micros!), 20% fun foods. Or if you really want to be strict you can eliminate the fun foods altogether.

In for a 10 minute chair massage that will give me a 6 pack :D

Wow, that is a really long time to swim...ESPECIALLY with flippers. Why do you swim that long in the first place? It sounds like it gets painful after so long so why keep going? Seriously, I used to be a competitive swimmer and we only broke out the flippers for fun. 80 minutes with those on sounds like torture. If you're…

TROLL.

The thing that irks me the most is the continuous capitalization of Whey Protein as if it's a proper noun. And welcome to the MFP forums! Where your original topic will be irrelevant by the 2nd page of comments. :p This post is great though, good work.

You are really reaching here friend...You have a tape worm, you've grown multiple inches, and burn 500-600 cals a day fidgeting. There is a point where googling can go too far and in your case I think you've reached it! On another note, weighing cups of things isn't accurate enough. I used to do that too until I got a food…

This. Just do it. Mind over matter. You're sabotaging yourself already by labeling yourself as "lazy." Start saying to yourself "I'm NOT lazy!" "I WILL/CAN do this" Positive thinking goes a long way!

GO WINGS!!!

Ketosis can cause feelings of euphoria. I was high as a kite on that diet. Now I'm just regular high IIFYM style. Congrats on your weight loss btw!! Keep it up!

Oh no not this again!

Flavored Stevia drops. NOW foods has a bunch of good flavors.

Absolutely fantastic transformation!!! Very inspiring and you look happy :)

Actually many people take the extra time to weigh everything. One thing in my diary for tomorrow for example says 3/4 cup of pasta. But, the side of the box says its weight in grams I think it's 56 g so I'm going to weigh it in grams. Give us OCD people some credit!! We put a lot of extra time into weighing our foods and…

LIFESAVER THANK YOU! I also emailed MFP about this the first day I tried to use it because it was so full of bugs. Give it 2 weeks and it will either be fixed or the old recipe calculator will be back up for an option. They just shouldn't of released it until it went through further testing.

YES.

Still haven't gotten a confirmation email though so I'm not holding my breath -_-

INTEQK13C -- I heard that code works but don't quote me on it because mine worked without needing the code. http://slickdeals.net/f/7265612-swanson-health-products-coupon-25-off-50-24-ct-quest-nutrition-protein-bars-25-free-shipping?v=1 The OP's first link on the first page of this thread worked for me it had the correct…

IBS!!!!!! I thought I had acid reflux and all these other things my whole life and just found out it was IBS last month. Been on IBS medication and have had 0 issues since. And your pain in the top of the stomach sounds like what I had. IBS can have many different symptoms. Don't be like me and disregard something the…

Almost?? Or IT IS. Wake up people! Realize what your own country is doing to you. Ever wonder how they control our massive population? They've got to kill some people off and they don't care how.

I'm curious if anyone has ever tried the caramel syrup. I was going to use the thicker one for brownies if it was tolerable.

It takes me a minimum of 3 days to restart. I overdid it one Friday and it wasn't until Sunday or Monday morning that I was back to a lower weight. But I also worked out hard for the rest of the weekend. I like this diet because it makes you determine needs vs wants. Like is that cupcake really worth a minimum of a 3 day…

Maybe you're eating a lot of extra fiber and your net carbs are putting you into ketosis. Ketosis happens at a different stage for everyone depending on their weight, height, etc. Being Paleo it's really not that crazy to think you are in ketosis...

Here! :) Always looking for more supportive friends !

I also second Jillian Michaels dvds and Jackie Warner DVDs (she does 100% strength no cardio but I burn more calories with her DVDs AND still get into cardio zone) Both kick your butt and are apartment friendly. Oh BTW I'm also a Senior in college and live in an upper flat and have had the roommate problem for 4 years…

I used to NEVER want anyone to know what I weighed not even close family members. Now I'll tell anyone who asks because I could care F**in less what their reaction is or what they think. Am I happy? Good. All that matters. LOUD AND PROUD OVER HERE!

I JUST read last week or so that those fancy medical research people have concluded that "body frame" is irrelevant. If you're trying to use one of those calculators online and it's asking you to figure that out, maybe find a different one that doesn't ask for body frame? Je ne sais pas!!
