no, think I'll look it up - it's always a good idea to do your own research...:)

you have to eat to feel hungry and when that happens it means your metabolism is finally kicking in and it's an amazing feeling ie ' I'm so hungry' so then you feed that hunger every 2-3 hours. It's so important for glycogen levels and to continue losing weight. Once that efficiency kicks in and you increase your lean…

If your protein is 'clean' whole food then it's ok to go over but make sure it's in portions that are not too big. Watch your fats and sugars. Protein builds and repairs muscle so it's essential to eat in all meals. Depending on your calories 90 to 100grams of protein x 5 is essential :)

It's great to read that someone else know's that it's all about the measurements.....I haven't moved on the scales since i started 6 weeks ago bt my clothes have gone down a whole size. I wish I'd now got measurements done (ie; calipers to measure body fat) to keep an eye on lean body mass which is my aim....I will…

Hi and well done for recognising your needs. I can give you many tips on what to eat in terms of the Paleo way of eating which is: 6-7 small meals a day, 2-3 hrs apart each meal is protein (eggs and meat) and veg/salad ( i personally love veg and it's more filling) 1-2 pieces of fruit 1-2 slices of wholegrain bread little…

cinnamon is also a great metabolic booster...great to have in a pure whey protein drink as a pre or post workout drink!!! .....Metabolism-boosting spices such as cinnamon, curry, cayenne pepper, ginger and cumin can aid in losing body fat. Cinnamon is perhaps the most widely recognized spice for boosting metabolism.…

I love your tips 'ramius'...i try try try and I wish i could breath, I feel so oxygen depleted when i run...body is fine it's just the lungs......and I've always had this problem!!!!
-
I just don't eat the exercise cal's - i only log them for my own interest. Professional advice has told me that you have to be pretty lean to be able to eat them!! :)
-
I definitely am....and i really feel the difference!! how are you going with it? I find it helps me to stay off the rubbish i shouldn't be eating anyway!! :) hope all's going well with you!!

organic oats are a great start to the day especially if you are off to the gym or going for a run or exercising somehow...blueberries are great for antioxidants...it's a great idea not to add sugar! sugar leads to wanting more sugar and it really inhibits weight loss. Cinnamon is a great natural metabolism burner.:)
-
as per advice from Precision Nutrition, you shouldn't eat your exercise calories unless you are lean and then they will boost your metabolism to work harder. You should, however, eat all of your required calories and make sure you have enough EG, I know from other professional advise and experience this App didn't set…

wow...you're doing so well!!! You must be feeling so fabulous with those goals and your persistence....keep going,.....hey check out Crossfit in LA, I'm sure they have one...I do it in Aust.....you sound like you could give that challenge a go, and a great way to get muscle tone while enjoy your cardio aspects!!! An Aussie…

i agree with everybody...but what do you really want to do??? Why don't you ask your sister if she would mind if you take your own food and enjoy the company. I've done that at a friends place and, being the friend that she is, she didn't mind at all and neither did anyone else. That way i would also enjoy 1/2 glass wine…

once your body gets used to ta regular and fairly intense exercise regime it is important to boost your calorie intake with the correct calorie mix, protein and complex carbs. When you don't that's when you plato. Increasing calories gives your metabolism another kick up the butt (so to speak) to burn more fuel and thus,…
-
I cant see any foods in your diet that can cause stomach cramp other than almonds...they don't always but can sometimes if you suffer from IBS??? Otherwise, I agree - see your Dr!!

...thanks Tonymobile, I'll keep that in mind as well - because my 100cal's was just a guess!!!:)

Hi I'm a crossfit addict and I just log in a half hours worth because as you know a small amount of intense strength work gets the heart rate going. Also, the warm up often adds to the workout in terms of the overall time worked!!. I just log 100 calories whether that's correct or not. I'm going to ask my friend how many…

......researchers found rats lived longer on plain water than with puffed wheat cereal. The study found rats lived over a year when fed unprocessed whole wheat. Yet when that wheat was puffed into a cereal and fed to the animals, it killed them off in less than two weeks. Rats fed plain water lived for two months, far…

Oats are your only healthy cereal. add some banana or whatever fruit you like. Other packaged cereals are high in sugar and carbs. You could also try eggs on toast for a high protein start to the day.
-
Protein shakes can be valuable in a very active life. I take a pre and post protein shake because the workouts I do are quiet intense. Mine is a pure whey protein, recommended and bought online through Myopure.com I add a small amount of berries or half a banana. I blend them together with crushed ice for a yummy 'creamy'…

you can do it - and yeah, i know what you mean - it's either the reflection in a shop window or a phot that loudly screams 'reality' so it's great you're giving it a go. It's quite fun check in the foods and exercise and I love the way it makes me accountable. I'm pretty healthy anyway but it stops me from adding cheats to…

Hi and good on you for wanting a better life for yourself....remember not to be scared to eat... because the more you fuel up with healthy foods the better you'll feel AND you'll lose weight. Remember also, that veggies and protein in 6 small meals throughout the day will really help to boost your metabolism. You're making…

Hi Emily - I'll ask some questions for you as I know someone who is my food/exercise adviser and has a wealth of info about so much. He is a professional so I'll see what i can find out....:)
