Can't believe you all fall for this in yet another thread.

Sorry? Testosterone in whey protein? And bulking up just by taking protein? If it were only that easy. You get what you pay for, check out Reflex's Diet protein, perfect and unisex as is all whey protein.

wonderful, For all those too fat and lazy and as 35% of Americans prove it you have no need to exercise or avoid stuffing your face just take a pill. Absolutely pathetic.

Why do people always assume that you're eating under your bmr to lose weight? What if you are eating correctly, feed yourself with enough protein ensuring the macronutrients are correct, say 1.5 or 2.0 g per kg lean mass weight? And training correctly to encourage muscle growth. Add cardio to burning of excess body fat on…

Each micronutrient has a different calorie value per gram so that should be a good indication that each one is not equal; carbohydrates and fats are used as fuel and protein is used to repair and rebuild the body. Can't be bothered to type it so here is a copy and paste: CARBOHYDRATES: Carbohydrates have six major…

Once you change your diet, you realise how much sugar is in the food or drink you used to consume. Embrace it! Especially if your body finds the taste replusive, think of all those unwanted calories you won't be taking!

So the bashers get bashed, hypocritical don't you think? Not bashing but you can’t blame people for correcting others when they post ridiculous and complete nonsensical content. Honestly, some of the facts posted on here are complete garbage so that will attract comment from others. Granted, it isn’t done in the best way…

Yes you can, I do it. You have to monitor your macronutrients on a weekly basis and alternate weeks between high carbohydrates and protein with the exercise to match. Can be done but takes effort and dedication. I've got pictures, body fat, muscle mass weight and BMI readings since I started. You need to balance both…

A realistic goal is expect to lose fat at the same rate you gained it. Get there early and better for you.

A friend of mind started cardio and bang, five years later was infected with an STD and died in a car crash five years, three weeks and two days to the day. Ruined his sex life and killed him because he took up running. That is as plausible as the link to the article in the first post.

Why are you relying on protein shakes? Eat a decent source of protein in your diet, does everyone on here throw money away?

You have to stress the muscles, cause tears in the microfibres through exertion which is also known as lifting weights heavy enough to promote this stimuli. Then they will grow. Think of body fat as a huge bucket, when you burn fat then the total amount reduces as does your body fat. Get it to a low enough level and you'll…

So introducing yourself, are you Natalie or Jillian or is this the wrong forum?

Why not just post the link instead of copying more tips later?

What is wrong with making a group on here?

Contender for you shouldn't post when drunk thread of the year, along with this one: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/651947-a-few-tips-i-ve-learned?page=5#posts-9473606

Where did this myth of breaking your metabolism originate? Form and function people, The metabolism is the rate at which the body breaks down energy and converts it into ATP. This is a biological function of the body. Break it and you have no energy, how do you keep your body alive when you sleep if you have no metabolism…

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not again! Aaaaaarrrgh

Anything else you'd like to cut and paste?

Why do you have to drink alcohol? Depends which is more important, drink or losing fat and being healthy? The choice is yours. If they are your friends they'll understand and support your decision to not drink alcohol.

Thank you for posting this. I've been saying this since I started on here to no avail. A refreshing change to see someone with common sense on here!

Mine has only changed once since I started! I adjust myself and it has worked up until now. Congratulation on the 60lbs, that's very well done.

When you see results, that's when you should increase your efforts. Simple but effective rule. If fat loss is your goal then reduce your carbohydrates, not to ridicuolusly low levels but ensure they are fewer than your protein and increase cardio work. If your protein is enough, then you'll minimise the muscle loss when…

With a decent diet and regular exercise, you can lose up to 2lbs a week. A 500 kcal deficit a day from both exercise and calories consumed will see a 3500 calorie loss over seven days with should result in a drop of 1lb. So, to expect 5lbs a month is a common sense approach. It becomes harder (well, it doesn't but people…

Read this and then lock the thread, couldn't have explained it better myself!

An invaluable source of iron and great for muscle building. Anyone serious about adding muscle will eat red meat, steak in particular.

/sigh /rolls eyes Predictable answer from the masses who do disregard the OPs post. Knew it would happen.
