"everyone's different" and "what works for one person" are for people who don't know enough information. Noone should try a fad diet unless they like doing unhealthy things(in most cases) scientifically unsound and or unsustainable things. If that or experimentation is your thing then do it. Most people don't want to be…

You're 6, 9? and 230 lbs now, after losing 100 ? time to stop worrying about BMI. You're sweating another 10lbs....which is an arbitrary number. Remember your body doesn't care what you want to look like. It's trying to survive and protect your DNA for another day. plus your metabolism is going to slow down anyways, up to…

A pretty good article that I mostly agree with, no fluff, no pseudo science, no food fear....refreshing. And yes there's nothing wrong with some cardio.

You should have been lifting heavy from day one. You would have already lost your other 17 lbs.

You look great. Damn great. There are no workouts to add weight anyways so don't worry about it. You'd still need to eat extra calories. No need to do that if you don't want to. You look prime to start lifting weights. It's the best type of workout. No you won't get bulky. Stay healthy...

If you're not measuring your food with a scale then it's time to take it to the next level of seriousness. 20 bucks or so if you don't have one already. From decades of analysis and meta-analysis we know that the number one problem is mis accounting for our intake. When we first start out, anything works because it's a…

To anyone who happens across this thread I meant to say most people are NOT addicted to food....

Neither. Lift weights. Way better for you in every way. No it doesn't make you bulky.

Unfortunately this is incorrect. Food timing doesn't speed your metabolism, nor do you need protein with every meal. However making one believe it does is a great way to make people buy a protein shake.... The metabolism doesn't work this way though it seems logical that it would. What matters is that you get it in. The…

IF it's not a medical emergency which I doubt it is if you're asking random people on an internet forum, then DON"T DO IT!!! It's easy money for the doc and it's sold as a fix all but most people I know and see that have had it either start looking unhealthy, because it is, or they have complications. Mark my/our words.…

100 calories per 10 minutes tops I would say. I used that as a guide 30 minutes of jogging is about 300 calories on average. Consistently accounting for it is the key, not being too perfect. I think that will get you close enough for any moderate activity. Higher of course for higher intensity stuff like soccer, lower for…

lol

It's 2014 and people are still finding justification for fad diets. Oh well we can't win them all... You lose fat from a caloric deficit not from drinking juice. You lose weight by losing fat and or muscle and or water. Causation vs. Correlation 101. There's nothing magical or special about a juice diet other than for once…

And a mobidly obese person doesn't need to eat 500 calories. And if so it should be with a doctors supervision and supplemental support. Morbidly obese isn't an arbitrary statement either. Morbid is based on 35 to 45% BMI. And lets face it, that's about all BMI is good for, that and charging more for insurance.

First off congratulations with your success and for having the steadfastness of being CONSISTENT which is the key regardless of whether you're "right or wrong." Now...with that being said....ahem... Welcome to the fitness and health industry and the internet. Not just for this thread but in general. This is long. But try…

What do you disagree with? And no we're not 100 percent sure about the op's intent, I'll admit that but i kinda admitted that, or so I thought, with the way I phrased the statement. When any of you spend about 20 years training people and seeing people get hurt and screwed over, and hear and repeat nonsense based on…

Got a question. Ask it here. or go to youtube where I show my face and I can answer it there. Otherwise, hey you made a cute remark on an internet forum. how did that happen?

To make a long story short, noone needs to lift anywhere close to failure to achieve just about any goal. Period. Like someone said above, unless your goal is powerlifting or something of the sort. If it is, then you should already know how to get a spot, and lets face it, we know this is not the op's goal.

And yes, please NEVER squat in the crap I mean smith machine! I don't care who told you or who supports this idea.

If you're 50 and you're worried about needed a spot, you need to fire your lame azz trainer with his/her lame azz programming. What a lame. Sorry. Welcome to the fitness industry! Where anyone can pass some weak test and start fiddling with people's physiology while not knowing jack squat about basic physiology. Good luck!…

High protein and Lift weights. Shorter but serious workouts. Ditch stuff like running and cardio. Just lift weights with less rest if you need to get that feel.

Life is too short not to eat this and that...but there's also a yin to the yang. Balance. Did you more than likely borrow a lot of those choices from your future to over fuel your body in the past? The answer is yes. Sacrifice is going to be paramount. Just a reminder...

Depends...but at any given moment, you would maintain if "within limit" or whatever means maintenance. The issue becomes lean body mass loss which still could come in to play. But since this is a totally theoretically hypothetical question it's all a moot point. But to make a long story short it is indeed about calories…

Also if you're like most people your protein has been way too low for your goals and training and you need to up that. You should be trying to get to 150grams minimum if you like running. Nitrogen balance, there is such a thing. Either you're recycling your nitrogen or not. If you're recycling it, aka burning muscle to…

This is simply because you've trained your metabolic set point to be low. Happens all the time. Now you have to eat super low to lose weight. Not only is this an energetic problem but a nutritional one as well. you need to slowly increase your intake

This is because strength is largely due to neurological factors and not muscular gain or loss. One doesn't need to gain muscle to get stronger. And during the "noob gains" phase no logic applies to nutrient and strength partitioning, i.e. where calories end up going to after being eaten.

Yep, one of the most important and most forgotten about...and not really in much chemical components of carbs and fats by basic and even complex definitions. DNA can't replicate with carbs and fats alone. Ahhh...

Why?

I'm very familiar with Athlean. The thing is that yes it's very true you can build muscle while being at a caloric deficit. It's also true 100% that green tea extract helps you burn fat. 100% The question is....how much though? Enough to notice? If you're trying to gain muscle while training for a marathon, good luck with…

1. Eat 2. Keep eating 3. Lift heavy stuff 4. Rest 5. Repeat 6. No seriously. 7. Oh wait you're vegetarian? Eat again! 8. See if you can get 150 grams protein being vegetarian 9. See number 1
