  • That book made/ruined my life at the same time :( haha i.e fruit juice, commonly thought of as being healthy... BUT its just fructose that’s left in the glass, the fibre is all in the part you've just thrown away. Sultanas similar, all fructose very little fibre. Those little boxes we put in children’s lunchboxes = 127…
  • HIIT may be a good quick way to burn calories but without a good cardiovascular base from LSD training you'll be doing more good than bad for your cardiovascular system. The quick rise in BP and Heart Rate will be similar to lifting weights but for the heart. The heart muscle will hypertrophy and put unnecessary stress on…
  • Read the book "Sweet Poison" by David Gillespie You'll be surprised how much of what you think is healthy is loaded full of sugars and why it makes you fat. "Natural Sugars" aren't better for you, they're still sugars. It's the fibre in the natural products that helps counteract the effects of the sugar. Remove that and…
  • well for every cup of coffee/soda you should have two cups of water :) You'll be okay haha, i drink about 4 Litres of water a day. But train/drink coffee daily too :D
  • Log the total time under "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" in the Cardiovascular section. As for treadmils working out calories burnt, I wouldnt trust those either. Pretty general. Doesn't take into consideration height, weight, age, sex. etc etc
  • Perth, Australia :D Sunny and warm!
  • Do you exercise daily, drink coffee, diet soda? All these things dehydrate you, therefore drinking more water is required! :)
  • Surprisingly going over on your calorie intake 1 day every so often is a good thing. It Keeps your body on its toes. If you continually maintain this low calorie intake for a long period your body goes into a state where it thinks its always going to be starved of calories and starts to store them. So giving it this…
  • Avocado's good in moderation ;) Good source of essential fats and also contains L-Carnatine, naturally occurring amino acid which is used to push fatty acids into the cells for energy, which in turn burns them off! haha
  • SHBoss1673 is on the money, replace those processed pre-made snacks (Special K Bars etc) with unprocessed natural carbs. Carbohydrates from natural sources i.e. fruit and veg are almost gimme carbs, slow digesting and full of fibre and wont be stored away. Just like diet soda, these packaged "health" snacks aren't as good…
  • And who said you can only eat salad when dieting?! ;-) Nice list mate, this should be made a sticky thread that sits at the top of the forum.
  • BOOM! This guys on the money!
  • If you are hungry... Eat. Simple. Just make sure you eat smart. Fruits good, vege's are good. The carbs in them are gimme carbs easily burnt off unlike your white breads, chips and what not. Your body is hungry for a reason, starving it will force it to start storing fat due to it thinking its always going to be starved.…
  • :-) No worries at all! Just try not make them too often :-P Remembering if your good 95% of the time, 5% wont hurt. and if you're good 100% of the time... You go crazy!!! haha
  • One meal won't kill your diet. If anything one high calorie meal mixed in with all tyour hard work will be more good than bad, If you continually eat your quota day in day out your body will start storing thinking its always going to be eating this lean. So one "cheat" meal will trick/shock your body into thinking its…
  • Are you weighing yourself at the same time every day. Remembering 1mL of water is 1gram of weight carried. (Im Australian sorry for the metric measurments :p ) You might just be loaded up on water weight (Which is a good thing as water has no fat!)
  • Interval training is realllllllly good! especially as it shocks the body from the long consistant burn. Look into Tabata intervalls they're great to work to :D As for knee strengthening just using body weight exercises (add medicine balls for extra resistance) will help build supporting muscles. Depending on what part of…
  • *Natural Peanut Butter. The processed crap is loaded with sugars.
  • Not so much low carb. Just early carbs and Low GI ones. Load up on your carbs in the mornings. But make sure they come from a Low GI Food. This will offer a constant energy level throughout the day. If you need carbs in the afternoon eat fruits again, Low GI fruits. Basically, Low GI Carbs in the morning + High Protein All…

  • Aghhh! Stupid keyboard... haha Starting again. In a nutshell. Bodyfat management at its most basic level is about calories in versus calories burned, but more factors than that must be considered when it comes to the specific needs of dieting bodybuilders. Calorie reduction is only step one. Next, you must increase protein…

  • In a nutshell. Cutting = High protein Day and Night whether it be in the form of Powder, Eggs and Lean Meats Low GI Carbs(morning only), Natural carbs throughout the day (Fruit n Veg), Low

  • Try setting a weekly calorie intake goal. As aposed to daily. If you constantly eat the same amount of calories daily your body adjusts and starts to burn less calories daily. Keep it on its toes. Some days over eat, other days under eat. Allow your cheat days to fall on the weekend as this is the time we all give in to…
