I never read this book or even knew about it until today...but my doctor recommended that I consumed up to 15 grams of sugar per day. I had a major sweet tooth, so it was tough... I'm eating about 2000 calories per day, staying below 15 grams of sugar and have dropped 16 lbs since I started watching what I eat on Feb 12 of…

Another thing that I noticed, aside from the high energy, was an enhance sense of smell. Everywhere I went, I found myself being aware of so much that was around me just by my enhance sense of smell. I don't know if this is normal for everyone that tries it, but for me, it was. Perfumes that normally would not bother me,…

I did it a long time ago. When I did it, I was actually at the skinniest that I had been in a long time. I was working out with weights about 4 times a week and running 2 times per week. But during that whole time, I was taking a lot of supplements including Creatine, pre workout drinks, post workout drinks, tons of amino…

Feel the same way. Joined this site on Feb 12 and lost 16 lbs already. But that's how it normally goes for me. I lose weight fast the first two weeks (normally about 5-10 lbs), and then it stops. With this sight, I've seen it continue past the two week mark because I'm making better choices with what I eat. And it helps me…

So by tracking it, it makes me make better choices as to what I put in my body. Right now, I allow myself to have 15 grams of sugar per day. More if I exercise. I don't know if…

What brand are you using?

I had a similar issue when I used a brand that was made up of mostly Whey Concentrate. I switched to Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex and didn't have a problem at all. Maybe you should get a small bottle of a different brand of protein...and keep a close eye on their protein blend.

Thanks for your reply. Time to go shopping for a Heart Rate Monitor...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's an HRM? How did you come up with those number? That's what I'm trying to do. Have a basic idea so that I can stay within my calorie intake goals.

On the same line of questions, I have one of my own about P90x. I would like to do it, but how do I know how many calories I burned during the workout. I want to make sure that I don't put my body into starvation mode by burning too many calories and not eating enough...and I also don't want to over eat.... My treadmill…
