  • Similar to JM, but w/o all the yelling (lol) http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ashley-conrads-21-day-clutch-cut.html If u can't do pullups, a good alternative you can use is a dumbbell lat pulldown. There should be a video on the site showing how to do it if you're not sure.

  • Quest bars are def the best! A little expensive (~$2/bar), but anything of quality usually is. ;) If anyone wants to try Quest bars before buying, they brought back their free sample program. You can fill out the form on their Facebook page -- https://www.facebook.com/QuestNutrition?sk=app_733419926675832

  • That makes sense (about fat loss vs general weight loss). Never actually had someone explain it like that. Thanks! And so far so good, I LOVE the program! :)

  • ^ This. You need to know your lean body mass # in order to correctly calculate this. If you put your BF% in bodybuilding.com that number will be on your profile. I'll show you mine so you can get a better idea... CW: 171 lb BF: 28% Lean Body Mass: 123 lb Body Fat: 49 lb Carbs: 184.5g (123 * 1.5) Protein: 184.5g (123 * 1.5)…

  • Make sure you're getting b/t 7-8 uninterrupted, restful hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep will absolutely make you crave sugar. I wouldn't completely deprive yourself of sugar (because it can lead to a binge), but definitely limit it by only allowing ONE serving. Up your protein intake and definitely keep working…

I actually don't "need" it anymore as I have a pretty good handle on how many calories are in the things I eat and I pretty much eat the same 20-30 things throughout the week. It's just part of my daily/weekly routine at this point and to be honest, it helps me plan out my meals for the week so I don't…

  • I think there are a multitude of ways to define "clean" eating. Mine is eating foods that either came from the ground or had parents, with as little pesticides, hormones, preservatives possible.

  • I'm having a similar issue..I've been stuck in the same 4lb range since February. I have another 10-20lbs to go, but it feels like no matter what I do nothing's working. I've tried reducing calories, upping calories, increasing exercise intensity, etc.. I refuse to give up, but this is just so damn frustrating. :(

  • Has your caloric intake been the same? Is your workout intensity the same as it was when you started and are you doing the same workout? If you answered yes to all those, change your workout routine and/or intensity. You're body has most likely adapted causing the #s on the scale to stall. You might also want to up your…

  • How large of a meal are you eating and how soon before you run? If you're eating a large meal, wait 3 hours to run, small meal 1-2 hours. Refrain from drinking too much water before running. Also, you shouldn't need to drink water while running unless you're running for hours (or you have a medical condition). Hope this…

By working out you're giving your body yet another thing it will need to recover from.
