yoga. it's yoga.

as a 5'4", 145-ish, not-terribly-muscular lady, my tdee is around 2300. yours should probably be higher than that, given that you're a guy in your mid-20s. are you looking at mfp's numbers or did you calculate your tdee elsewhere (like here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ )? but, yes. if your tdee is 2200,…

hi there! just to let you know, your warm up should be 5-10 minutes of cardio followed by 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching, not 25 minutes on the elliptical with a sprint at the end. going into the phosphagen system will build up pyruvate which converts into lactic acid and makes you fatigue. you don't want to already be…

http://www.uhs.hku.hk/he/smoke/health_effect-eng.htm short term effects of smoking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_effects_of_alcohol short term effects of drinking. your second article is about how soy reduces the number of free radicals and is from the christian broadcasting network. that's not the question here,…

i did google, also google scholared. didn't find anything. also, loving them abstracts! especially where it says "although there is no evidence that this affects sporting performance in the short term, it may have longer term health consequences." to repeat, NO EVIDENCE for the short term, MAY in the long term. also…

source this *kitten*.

does your doctor say you can't eat after 7? because if it's not your doctor saying it and it's just something you read on the internet, it's false. you can eat after 7 as long as it's not something to do with your condition.

she said she usually eats at the 1100-1300 calorie range when her tdee is around 2250. i'd say that's a high calorie deficit. and yes! i'm being so nosey for looking at her profile and seeing the first line! shame on me. and i must be so, SO silly for thinking that maybe there could be a connection between the fact that…

just saw on your profile that you're recovering from an ed. if this is the case, you should be talking to your psychologist and your doctor about your caloric needs because the idea that you need to eat at a high calorie deficit could just be your ed. the idea that you can't eat high fat/sugar foods might be because of…

weird, she's eating cream cheese, whey protein, bacon, chicken, cottage cheese, s'mores luna bars (which i'm assuming are not vegan), pork chops, mayonnaise, etc. none of those are vegan. half of them aren't even vegetarian.

if you're not allergic to nuts, have two tablespoons of peanut butter. now you're at 1500 calories. you eat fat free products (which are processed to get that way- something you say you want to avoid). eat the full fat version. instead of almond milk, drink skim milk (if you're really that concerned about your fat intake),…

no, you're 500 calories below that number, which means you're eating somewhere between tdee - 45% and tdee - 51%. that's actually a really big difference from tdee - 20%. eating half the calories your body needs is not a good idea.

that's definitely good advice. don't waste your calories on food, just get drunk instead! maybe a long island iced tea? it's higher in calories, but there's plenty of alcohol in there for you.

i prefer smooth. boyfriend is naturally a hairy beast, but also an ex-bodybuilder, so he manscapes and generally keeps his chest hair trimmed. he's also working in a steel mill right now, so he's not allowed more than two days' growth of facial hair. sometimes he shaves off all the chest hair plus the arm hair. and i shave…

another option is to eat more than 1200 calories so that your body won't "adjust" to the low calories and will continue to function as normal.

check yourself into the hospital. they should be able to help with the dry mouth and pains, and if you tell them about your suicidal tendencies, they'll get you somebody to talk to. i have no idea what the deal with your eyesight is.

as a 20 year old who lives with her parents and is working on her undergrad, i agree with everyone who's telling her to either not eat the food or suck it up and move out. you can, most likely, afford to get a crappy apartment with some roommates while working part time in college. it won't be fun, but unless you're…

last night i had 25 minutes until the gym closed after i finished, so i did some negative pull ups and chin ups. that's only like another 5 minutes of work, but i take a sports conditioning class on monday and wednesday (i do SL tuesday, thursday, and right now sunday), and i also run on tuesday, thursday, and sunday to…

if you're just doing cardio and "minor" lifting, you likely don't need a high protein shake. if you want to try one just to try one, then pick one you think looks good and be prepared to spend too much money on it.

the only reason you should MAYBE care would be if it's something that you're doing that's making the treadmill be "too loud." for example, last march or april i was at the gym and there was a girl on the treadmill in front of me while i was cycling who kept stepping on the stationary plastic part right in front of the…

the past couple days you've tracked look pretty good. maybe try to increase your protein a bit. otherwise, drink water and tea and just wait it out. if you still get hungry a lot after a week or two, try upping your calories by 50-100 a day. it won't interfere with your weight loss and might give you some more room to get…

i still prefer the taste of the white and don't need to consume any more fat than i already do. if you have some magical tool that sucks out the 7g of fat but lets me keep the 3g extra of protein, you let me know.

i prefer the taste of the white and i'm usually more in need of protein than fat. if i have hardboiled eggs, i'll eat the whole thing. if i'm scrambling them myself, i usually do 1-3 whites plus one whole egg.

get an analog scale, one that you can tare. i have one and i usually step on and off a couple times, making sure it's tare each time i get off, before i accept the number. besides, you don't really need to know how much you weigh to the tenth unless you're figuring out how much water/poop you're losing.

you do realize that when you drown, you're dead, right? there's no treatment for dead. especially not smoke up the *kitten*.

NOT... AN UNMADE BED WITH A LAPTOP AND A STUFFED ANIMAL ON IT!!!!!! jeeze, guys. if you think that's a mess, you'd have a heart attack at the state of my room, since i've just moved back in and haven't unpacked yet.

i'm not drinking coffee because it tastes like *kitten*.

yep, this! and for all of you saying men and women can't be friends without having the burning passion to do dirty things to one another, calm down. it is possible to have platonic relationships with anybody, be they male, female, agendered, or anything in between. one person having a penis and the other having a vagina…

when my achilles is sore, i generally either take the day off, walk the miles, or do cross training. i'd much rather NOT risk really messing up my achilles which can result in surgery and/or taking off extended periods of time. but as mickie said, if you're willing to risk serious injury just to complete some 10ks, then do…

op, what is your point? you're not asking questions. you don't have a tale. you're not willing to accept advice or make changes. you're just being a grump because you're hungry and you have seen that people lose weight on very low calorie diets and others lose weight on higher calorie diets. are you just trying to get…
