Increasing vital fats in the diet is very beneficial to the body. It aids the hormone productions in the body which allows the body to function at peak performance for longer. A success story is Dorian Yates for one. He had a strict low fat, high carb, high protein diet and was 'happy' with his results. Then a year later,…

Pepsi max isn't too bad to drink to be honest. It won't put on any significant weight drinking 2lt a day. However, less is more :) If you want, you could try taking Scivation Xtend formula and mix that with your water. It's a tasty flavour and is enriched with Amino Acids that help benefit your body in a positive way!

Depends what kind of training I'm doing to be honest!! High intensity, I listen to high intensity music i.e. Metal - If I'm going heavy and low reps: metal / Cardio is a mixture between classical, romantic era and bob marley. If I'm doing biceps and am hitting them hard, I tend to listen to rap. But yeah. Depends on what…

Definitely true. I went on a very strict, very clean diet for 10 weeks. Lost 38lb and at the end of it, tried to eat something that I thought was 'easy to eat' because I could eat it before the diet change and I could barely eat a quarter of it before I was completely full.

=] Congratulations! I love it when people achieve something they're proud of and keep a picture of it as a memory! It's an absolutely remarkable feeling!

I don't understand it either. I mean, I know a few people who couldn't give two shakes if they cheat or not and I just wonder, well why bother having a relationship? I take pride in knowing that I have never cheated and I take faith in knowing that I never will. I would much rather be there for someone who loves me rather…

Also - A good place to start if you're in America would be http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/protein.htm < This will show you a 'list' of protein supplement categories and their roles with how they benefit you. Stick to WPI though. It digest within 40 minutes of consuming it, unlike other, soy based proteins, that take up…

All right. Post workout is the anabolic window of opportunity where your body absorbs the most from nutrients in foods and vitamins from what you eat. Your body will be completely depleted and need something to recover from. This is the anabolic window and it closes very quickly within 20-30 minutes. Your BEST bet for this…

I remember being bullied as a kid and I just took it as a grain of sand. I took the high road, got my parents involved and since my father is quite the protective type for his family he sorted it out really well by addressing it directly with the parents of the individuals and the school. I firmly believe that bullying is…

For me, I started doing Muay Thai when I were 14 and did it til I were 15 and stopped due to lack of money. Then I started Krav Maga when I were 17 and have done that for 2 years along with other combat training - did that twice a week on tues, thurs night when classes were available. I now do Muay Thai once a week - I am…

My mistake, you are right! They are my opinions. Also, I didn't take into account her goal time-frames either, that would've been a good angle to look at and I'll remember that, thanks :) Chad

Just a general guide for a 'short-term weightloss goal' you should consider cutting out a few things i.e.: Dairy - The lactose has quite a lot of SUGAR in it (Cottage cheese is okay, though as it has a casein protein in it, recommended eating it before bed) White bread - The process of white bread and how it is made…

Hahahah, no.... I did not take meth for 10 weeks >_> I have the consistency of my entire diet for the 10 weeks posted on my blog, here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Chadwick891/view/motivation-to-your-new-body-180907 I was doing very heavy strength training and did Rugby Union training 2 nights a week w/ 5 nights a week…

hahaha, how could you all think I am not legitimate or it's not healthy? The 10 week period is a short amount of time to lose the weight (I even have the before/after photos in my profile and can show you photos from the actual contest). It is completely fine to lose this weight in a short amount of time as long as you're…

Well - There ARE more effective ways of losing weight at a faster rate but a lot of these weight-watchers programs don't incorporate it because they assume that no one ever touches a weight or uses gym equipment. I lost over 38lb in just 10 weeks by focusing on my portions of Protein and Carbohydrates and only taking…

Hey, I couldn't help but see your post!! Look, I'm going to send you an invite to add you - because in a period of 10 weeks I lost close to 40lbs (17.20kg I lost in total) and I am looking to inspire others to help them achieve their goals! I would be more than happy to help you along the way and give you advice and…

Ah, that's a good thing to keep in mind! It's just that I've been working out solidly for months at the moment and I still feel DOMS in every other muscle area and especially in my hamstrings and quads toward the knee region. Just thought I may be going a bit light on my biceps or my routine is ineffective.

Hey there! My routine that I was doing a few days ago consisted of the following for my back/biceps split - First two sets for MOST are warm ups and I try to go to failure on set 3 and/or 4 if I adjust the weight correctly I also emphasise the negative and squeeze at the contraction of the movement: Reverse Grip Lat…

Well I am unsure how much of what I was eating but I will give as best of a run down as I can using the MFP database to count the calorie intake! I think my meal for one day would look something like this - I only ate 2 or 3 times a day, so I'll take the latter and write 3 meals that may have been consistent pre-dieting:…

Sounds great! Nice and quick :)

I forgot to mention that you WILL lose a LOT of weight in the first week with any clean diet. It's all the fluids being washed out of your system. For e.g. with my diet in the first week I lost 4.7kg and the following week my body plateau'd and the week after I lost more weight, again! So, yes, the first week of a clean…

Read my post here!!! If you're not losing weight, I suggest reading my blog update and then following the links - they work quite well, I mean, look at MY progress pictures over 10 weeks!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Chadwick891/view/motivation-to-your-new-body-180907

Elliptical burns more calories due to the movement with the arms and the stride length. It also is a more effective movement to target the quads, glutes and hamstring portions of the legs when resistance is added. The advantage of a treadmill is the fact you can do HIIT on it, where an elliptical, you'd be pretty crazy to…

Looks amazing, but too many sugars for my diet!!! Could I substitute brown sugar with stevia or splenda? And have sugar free maple syrup? Or sugar free jam? I don't like too many sugars, I have enough in my fruits!

I'm... just... lost for words... I mean, I've just joined this site today!! hahahahha. Never considered it :)

Hey there! I'm a new member on here and have just composed a blog on my recent results and I recommend that you have a read of it too :) I dropped 17.20kg(Just short of 30 pounds) over a period of 10 weeks - Please view it and feel free to add me if you have any questions! I'm happy to help anyone and everyone!…

Wow, amazing results! You have left me and everyone else speechless! That's a remarkable feat in a 3 year period! I would love to read a story of your journey if you ever decide to write one! Just remarkable!

There are a few solutions to keeping excess skin to a minimum (Or minimize the amount of excess skin for big weight-loss situations) and one for around the stomach that I was taught was doing twists - 150 after each cardio session. So I would wake up, eat breakfast, 30 minutes later, go for a 20-30 minute walk, get home…
