I had great results with the 17 day diet! I did it for about 6 months starting last June and lost 25lbs on it (16 in the first month!). I've taken parts of the diet and incorporated it into my every day life, like now I just eat minimal grains/breads and lots of lean meats and vegetables. When I felt like my metabolism…

Guilty... :tongue:

^^This. I hate showering at the gym too, but I will if I happen to go before work. If I go after work, I will wait till I get home to shower

1928 + 30 = 1958

:laugh:

I drink close to a gallon of tea a day while at work! I count them all as water except black and mate teas, which have higher caffeine content. I'm hooked on MightyLeaf teas at the moment :)

Haha me too!

It's great in chili too

Mine either! I was starting to think I was the only one. Height is accurate though :bigsmile:

Totally trying this!

Contrary as it may sound to your instincts, it's possible you aren't eating enough.

Totally agree

^^this - I'm pretty much at my goal weight, but I have absolutely no definition in any of my muscles. It's time to get fit and strong, not skinny!

These sound awesome...I can't believe I never thought of adding cinnamon. I LOVE cinnamon!

I've been doing this for the better part of a year. I don't completely deprive myself of carbs - I will eat a piece of pizza occasionally (I just love love love pizza) or a bowl of cereal or something on occasion, but it's not a regular part of my diet anymore. So long as I stay within my daily calorie intake, I haven't…

This is pretty much exactly what I did. I cut out almost all breads/pastas and most grains and I feel SO much better. My energy is way up as well, I almost never crash halfway through the day. Sure I'll occasionally indulge in a bowl of mac & cheese or a handful of doritos, but a year ago almost my entire diet was pasta…

I am 5'8"

Thanks! Also I am 5'8" and my BF% is 23% according to the fat2fitradio calculator. My goal is to get in the 18-20% range

Ignore the ticker, I've reached my original goal :laugh: I'd be ecstatic if I could reach my "new" goal but I'm ok where I am too! Just want to get stronger. I joined MFP in January, which is why the ticker doesn't show the full 30lbs lost

Bump....really helpful info. I upped my calories by a few days ago because of informative posts like this

Mine is simple, I have it for breakfast several times a week: I take my shaker, fill with ice and pour hot coffee over it (from my Keurig), add a scoop of chocolate whey protein powder and shake it up! Delicious mocha protein

I like Dymatize Nutrition Elite Gourmet Protein - Milk Chocolate 125 calories 21g protein 6g carbs 0g sugar I mix a scoop of this with black coffee and shake with ice for a mocha protein drink in the mornings. It's delicious and usually holds me until lunch (I used to just drink coffee, so this is an improvement for…

It really is! I get my morning protein boost AND my beloved caffeine all in one!

I do this probably 3-5 mornings a week, since I rarely have time for a real breakfast: 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 8-12oz black coffee Lots of ice! Shake it up, and I've got a delicious mocha protein drink!

My movie husband and my favorite show! You have good taste :)

It depends how active your lifestyle is normally. For me, since I have a desk job and get very little exercise throughout the day, I always log my walks and things like that because it's not part of my typical day. If you have a lightly active or active lifestyle/job though, I probably would not log it.

I get weird reactions when I have my carrots with peanut butter too! I never realized it was a weird combination until someone pointed it out

I do this too!! Or work triceps against the counter

^^I do this too!
