Because I had done the Atkins diet before and it had worked very well for me. after about a year, I started eating sugar again and gained most of my weight back. So, I had lost 28 pounds, which would then be my healthy weight of 185lbs (5'11"), gained it all back from eating 1 or 2 sugary deserts and that turned into sugar…

I thought I did the keto diet too extreme because I was doing 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carb. That diet was fine but the exhaustion at first was my reason for given up. I got nervous about the keto diet. There's so much information about every diet on the internet that it's hard to know what is true and what is false. So…

Rodney Yee, as some suggested, is excellent and has great yoga DVDs for the home. I also just started yoga, but taking classes. I love it!

I've done the original p90x about 4 years ago, then got inactive and gained weight., and have been considering the p90x3. Even though the workouts are shorter, does it still have muscle building resistance in it? I'm interested in increasing muscle mass and tone. Lost weight and need to tone up at get firm. Plus, I know…

It's now! Never is not a path that exist! Do it now, burn all bridges to any other options! Have a great new journey!

Hi Jen, what an exciting journey you have ahead of you! Something that has worked well for me, as I stumbled on it many times, was to have patience. I often wanted to rush the weight loss, so would jump to the next supplement, next pill, anything to expedite things and this hurrying just left me down and disappointed. One…

Hi, I had fatty liver too and I was only 30lbs over weight at the time. I was nervous about this so I did a lot of reading and there were some actual studies about what actually causes fatty liver and what's the quickest method of getting the liver to metabolize (oxidize) it's own liver fat. There's an excellent study that…

Glad you like the liver too. I get the grass fed liver from Whole Foods and love it. Taste delicious and probably one if the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. Love it! I had the keg a few months ago and now it's almost flat. I look in the mirror and sometimes can't believe it! Had the keg for a good 7-8 years. Just…

Great comments about fat. Fat is critical for good health. I have a tablespoon of Flaxseed oil, no cholesterol. I also have a teaspoon of high quality fish oil to get the Omega 3 DHAs that some say flaxseed ELAs don't produce enough of the DHAs. All healthy oils with no cholesterol. Then I really enjoy my eggs , especially…

I'm a runner, one marathon, a few 5Ks, but like to run slow and long distance. Run between 45-50 miles every week and can't stand to take a day off. Gives me complete joy and trains my mind for all areas of my life.

Another suggestion, get a good protein shake. Buy a big container of it. Or a meal shake. (Meal shake has more calories and your going to need some calories) It's powder, so you don't have to refrigerate. Then buy some fiber. Then just add water. Nothing needs to be refrigerated and if you get a protein shake ( probably…

I couldn't help but notice your picture. It's a picture of a warrior so it grabbed my attention. There are several archetypes that people have as their nature and "warrior" is one of them. I use this archetype as well as I most identify with Warrior. I use this archetype to lose weight and get fit. It may sound crazy, but…

I'm 51, my name is Paul. I'm 5'11" and was 217 lbs. As of today, I'm 185.8 lbs. My goal is 174 lbs. New to the community. Fitness Pal is great and is the only consistent tool that I've ever used. Most of my friends are in their 50s and as much as I like them, I don't want to accept being unhealthy and unfit like the…
