You'll get an overall better workout on the stairs for HIIT training and weight loss. Give the choice of either, stairs every time as they are more demanding and provide a better workout.

Oh my, a nineteen year old, book burning nazi airs her view. Why stop there? Why not those who are overweight by a certain amount? Are they not encouraging people to eat when they post they can't stick to their diet and consume more than is necessary? Why stop there? Delete their account, log their I.P. address so that…

And you can retain 3 grams of water per gram of carbohydrates, that depletes when the carbohydrates are used.

That is all you need to do.

Introduce carbohydrates little and often to get used to processing them again. A sudden surge of carbohydrates and your body will store what it can. Reintroduce them to get used to processing them again, you should be fine.

What is wrong with, erm, food?

Be proud of every pound you lose, you worked for it, earned it and thus deserved it. Celebrate!

And like everything else, your body doesn't build up a resistance to caffeine? Been jittery after a cup of coffee lately? Didn't think so either. Drink the coffee, you'll still take on water just not as much as a glass of water in the same size cup. Rank this with another broscience/hoscience myth along with the pound if…

Yes, it is a diuretic but not enough in caffeine to stop the body absorbing the rest of the water in the drink. Negative water? Perhaps you should rephrase this?

What is negative water exactly?

So besides Carbohydrates and protein to a lesser extent, what does the human body tap into for fuel? Magic beans? Kittens and sparkly moon dust? Absolute nonsense, you should find new friends.

High intensity intervals for the benefit of raising your metabolism and keeping it high after you've finished your session. A 45 minute session will take time to warm up then tap into fat cells for energy and stops as soon as you do. High intensity, short bursts will give greater results.

To cause health problems, you'd have to consume a ridiculous amount of protein. Firstly, a quarter of the protein is used for consumption and metabolism by the body and what's left is either helps muscle fibres or used as energy depending on what and how you exercise. Also, any excess is secreted naturally and you'd have…

Wrong. You can't state muscle mass then fat without using fat mass as the comparison. Muscle fibres are tightly compact, thus taking up less volume meaning they occupy less space for their weight than fat. Taking an equal amount of volume per each, say the size of a bag of sugar then the muscle will weigh more due to the…

Of course, that is why countless threads of people moaning saying they haven't lost weight or the diet isn't working or I've reached a plateau and what should I do litter the forums. There will be an exception as you stated but generally, you won't get results from doing nothing to help yourself which so many on here…

The definition of a diet is food and drink considered in terms of its qualities, composition, and its effects on health. It will be either a good or a bad diet. Everyone has a diet but one with a single food source is ridiculous.

Not once have I exceeded my daily calories and never have I eaten 1 calorie back from exercise and I regularly drop between 1 to 2lbs a week so how can anyone say that you should eat back what you've worked off? Create a deficit with exercise to compliment the adjustment to your diet and then eat back what you've just…

Macronutrient of alcohol is 7kcals per gram compared to 4kcal in protein and carbohydrates and 9kcal in fat.

This has to be the hardest myth to kill on this site. How can an equal volume of something weigh more than another? A pound of fat is a pound in weight as is a pound of fat and surprisingly a pound of muscle weighs surprisingly, a pound the same as a pound in weight of something else. Density is the issue not volume.…

There's a sucker born every minute and this is just another gimmick to exploit the fact. In the never ending line of health fads, the gullible and lazy will throw money at something if it saves them time and effort which is why they got into the state they did in the first place. And by the look of most on here, they will…

An overpriced meal replacement, can't believe people actually pay good money for this? Really? Try Reflex diet whey or their meal replacement progen for a better alternative at a fraction of the cost. Or you could try eating healthy food. Just a thought.

The amount of excess protein you'd need to cause kidney damage is ridiculous. As long as you are meeting your water requirements, your kindeys will be fine regardless of protein. Any excess is either used as fuel or secreted naturally. Don't cut proteint when trying to lose weight. As stated the 1-1.5 g per day, even 2.0 g…

Not an argument, it is fact. The Misnomer of muscle weighing heaver is ridiculous.

So muscle weighs more than fat now? Muscle has a greater density and takes up less space than fat pound for pound but it doesn't weigh more. You're losing fat and also adding muscle, lose 1lb of fat and add 1lb of muscle and you have made progress just haven't lost weight in the way you expect. You body composition has…

I know quite a few.

Wow! Racism on the board! I'm certain the term is Irish, not paddy.

She has answered her own question, don’t eat them back. Reduce the calories in your diet to meet your BMR to sustain your body’s dietary needs without going into starvation or catabolism then exercise to burn off excess weight accumulated on your body to assist the pounds or kilograms reduction. Why would you go to great…

Maximuscle is expensive for what you get, there are a lot better brands out there for which you would get more for your money and the profile isn't too good but they are promoted very well indeed. Holland and Barrett are quite high in their carbohydrate content, a lot of sugar if I remember correctly. Reflex Nutrition's…

Without the proper nutrients, you'd be losing muscle as well as fat fasting for two days.

[/quote] I've heard the kidney thing is a fallacy. [/quote] It is but I was being polite in my post. I can consume 150 - 200 grams daily and it doesn't impact exercise, health, diet or weight loss. As the CMcBryer stated, he eats up to 200 grams a day and I know people up to 300 grams a day and have been doing this for…
