I O, Lebanon, between Cincy/Dayton. So you pick the adversary of "the mindless sheep" along with the other mindless sheep... Good decision, clearly.

Optimum Nutrition Casein and Whey. I love the Extreme Milk Chocolate Whey protein, toss in 8 ounces of water and drink, tastes phenomenal.

Eggs... The beginning of life... I'll go ahead and continue eating without worry that it is somehow bad for me but not the thing it is designed to create.

Where is the study that shows animal source protein leads to osteoporosis quicker than other sources of protein? Pretty skeptical about that... As for the 45 lbs of muscle gained in a month and got manly, clearly troll-tarding. If someone legitimately believes this, they are the most naive human being ever... Gaining 45…

Yeah, they said to be there a couple hours early for it... I think I am just going to pass, I am not functional at 5 AM. I should have prepped better for this, oh well.

I'm going to have to do a morning drive up.... Not ecstatic about this at all. Bleh. So I just read that packet pick up is Thurs/Fri... Didn't realize that was going to be the case, I can't really get a detail if they will do it Sat morning or not... I sent an email asking what I can do to see about you guys possibly…

Bumping for later....

What time are you ladies thinking? I need to get this planned to see about when Brooke and I would be getting up there. My cousin is in Hilliard so I could crash there Friday night(assuming there is no conflict with them, just need to check.) But would love to get some details down so I can plan. I get off work 5:30…

Sounds like more of a processed food intake thing, not so much an increased carb thing. You can load up on carbs through lots of natural foods that aren't going to have these kinds of issues. (Or at least I'd think you'd be less likely to have this issue as bad.)

TENNIS. I can put in 2-3 hours without even realizing it on the courts. Even if you're bad at it/learning/not that great it burns nicely and is a blast. If you take the game more serious like I do, you can blow calories out and really feel progression. The hardest part is finding a partner that fits. And this part is…

Muscle Milk isn't bad, it just isn't cost effective or all that great. If you absolutely cannot buy a blender bottle and a tub of Optimum Extreme Milk Chocolate and take <1min to make your own drink, okay. 8oz Water+1Scoop ON Extreme Milk Chocolate+Blender Bottle=Easy 24g protein hit with like 4g of carbs and 1.5g of fat.…

People insist on being too cerebral about weight loss IMO. I am all for primal concepts, but I wouldn't even begin to say you have to do it to lose weight. 4-5 years ago I ate a large thin crust Dominos pizza everyday, a South beach diet pizza, along w/ regular meals and snacks, no counting, and lost 50 lbs in 3.5 months.…

You need a surplus of 3500 calories to gain a pound. An occasional treat isn't going to hurt you. You can even lose weight by eating all crap all day as long as you keep your calories in check properly. I wouldn't even remotely recommend it, but it has been done. Just focus on making healthier choices a bit at a time and…

I eat 2100-3200 calories a day. 5'9" 230 lb male. Girlfriend, 5'1" 115-118 lb female, eats like 1400-1900 a day... I think you'll be just fine if you go over.

Natural stuff? If you're really set on keeping to natural products, it is probably not bad. But IMO, it isn't very cost effective. I also would recommend focusing on nutritional intake long before supplementing with protein powders. That being said, protein powders can be a nice addition to the day. It depends a lot on…

Eat what MFP suggests, eat your exercise calories back as much as you can with quality foods. If you're still feeling hungry after that, I'd think something else is going on.

Bread was by far the easiest thing to just drop. I still occasionally have it from buns for burgers, but I am not really sold into a huge "100% committal" approach to anything. Lost 50 lbs in 3.5 months eating a large thing crust pizza a day+other meals and not counting a calorie. Eat something full of energy, just go work…

I now kind of have a man crush on you for sharing this one. Total, gem.

Carbs, carbs, carbs, and something very small protein/fat... My personal experience is the same thing. Eat a carb heavy load, <2 hours later starving. I'd advise a good protein and some healthy fats. That would be my solution anyway.

1 Cup Fage Full Fat Greek Yogurt 1/2 Cup So Delicious Coconut Milk 3-4 Blackberries 1/2-1 Strawberry 3-4 Raspberries 1 Scoop protein of your choice. I used Casein vanilla from Optimum. Tastes incredibly smooth.

Check urine color. If you are light yellow/clear, you're hydrating well enough.

So damn funny.

When you feel hungry, try drinking water first. If you feel hungry 20 mins later, eat. Being thirsty can be confused for being hungry. Keep a water bottle or cup with water around you at all times. When you see it, take a small sip or something to get in the habit of drinking it. Challenge yourself to do more. Being a…

I always here this... What makes them way healthier than a potato? I have tried looking at them broken down and I see some difference, the biggest difference I have seen is that sweet potato is mildly anti-inflammatory while potato is a bit inflammatory. Sweet potato has sugar, potato doesn't. Otherwise similar on the…

Pretty surprised so many people are actually supportive of the positive reinforcement of poor habits. I know negatively commenting on them isn't very useful, so I don't... But to actually defend the general "GJ" on an under calorie day without paying any attention to what it is, that seems insane. I just assumed the great…

I remove grains as much as I can, haven't even had a desire to eat them really. I don't avoid them, but I certainly don't hunt them out. My grocery trips have very little interest in even going anywhere near grain based areas. I hit Fruits/Veggies(more for her than me, except there are fruits I like) then meats, greek…

Oh really. So my girlfriend goes Primal, starts eating like 40% fat, has lost 5 lbs and been smaller than she ever has in her life... But clearly dietary fat=fat.... You need to do some research on how this stuff works. Oh she also eats like 1400-1700 calories a day and over 2k on work out days when she gets around to…

They have food. I have no idea what they have, I skip it. Just about everything in there is going to be overpriced and unlikely to meet my needs as I see fit(either in yummy value or nutritional value)

If you want a low carb fiber hit, psyllium husk. Tastes weird, is a pain, and I've taken it. How much fiber are you trying you get in a day? I have 25carbs/40fat/35 protein and really don't have an issue, and I don't even eat nearly enough veggies(working on that)

You do realize that veggies are insanely low calorie for volume of food? And fruits are carb heavy.... Nice reply. Nuts, nut butters, meats. Easy.
