really interesting read...thanks :drinker:

the protein factor is big also, a lot of greek yogurts also have active cultures you don't find in normal "yoplait-type" yogurt. it's called "probiotics" and can help with bodily functions particularly in the digestive system. that is why it tastes so much more tart than normal yogurt.

if you did it for 40 or 50 minutes it could probably burn 500-800 calories. but in the explanation it says they included the "after burn" effect in that 500-800 calorie estimate...

i love tea, i think i drink at least a liter a day. my favourite is anything with rooibos - especially rooibos with chai spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves etc.) i also love classic peppermint, green tea, white tea and, of course, black tea with a splash of milk! i can't do an exchange this holiday, since i live in istanbul…

insanity will make your body awesome, walking is low impact and won't train all your muscle groups like the plyometrics in insanity. but it is still fat burning :)

^you have a point there - because you're limited to maybe 5 workouts each month, the cycle can get a little repetitive. i dont' have a gym membership so thats one reason i'm doing insanity now. but for me the results outweigh the slight boredom of the same workouts repeated. i'll be starting the 2nd month soon which is…

basically everyone who has done it recommends it. it's awesome, tough, but great considering the workouts aren't really that long. i'm at the end of week 3 right now :D and i've lost like 2-3 inches from my waist, 2 from my hips ... oh and this is my 3rd time doing it in the past year...

basically none. maybe 20 maximum

i think your lack of scale weight loss is probably a natural result of the water weight/bloating and other effects of hormonal birth control. im sure it will stabilize. Since you've quit your pill entirely, i would expect you to lose some weight once it wears out of your system - I lost 15 lbs when i stopped ortho tri…

I definitely recommend the Insanity program (by Beachbody). I'm new to myfitnesspal but I did insanity about 6 months ago and it starts to show results in like a week...you just have to push through the first week or two of muscle soreness. It's harder than most workouts you could put together yourself at the gym... it's…
