There are numerous studies out there promoting carbohydrate restriction diets, they work flawlessly; they can be a bit much for a first timer though, a step up would be carb cycling, playing with your macros throughout the week in a controlled manner adjusting carbohydrates as you go along depending on activity. I've done…

It works fine, if you record and calculate your macros like you should be doing while bulking or cutting; it will work great, keep track of your macros day to day - if the weights not budging, you'll know its time to bump the calories and keep a close look on what sort of tweaks you can make to step it up. Get big. -Dan

Running is great, but just know there are several ways of doing running/cardio - some MUCH better than others. HIIT always over low intensity cardiovascular - the substrate used during cardiovascular is not as important as the caloric deficit created by it. In actuality, high-intensity cardiovascular work is far superior…

And that in itself is where the problem lies, people want to be told exactly what to do to get things done, it's in my opinion the greatest thing about a healthy lifestyle, its not easy! You need discipline, commitment and a drive to really stick with it, it'll not only get you healthy, but it'll build a will of steel!

Everyone is different, there are no cookie cutter diets that work for one, but not the other - you need to go through trial and error, find what works and what doesn't - when you know what your body can take you adjust in small increments to find the sweet spot in the middle of gaining and loosing. Bump and jump till you…

Don't forget about that little thing called genetics - It can really help out! Every diet needs some slack, otherwise you just end up ditching it. Whats life without the small things? I don't know what I'd do without my pretzels.

Cheat days are only asking for disaster, but cheat meals are essential! (depending on your body-fat.) depending on how low your body-fat is, cheat meals are a great strike to implement in a diet, when you're on an extended diet your metabolism will eventually start to ware thin, this is due to a very large drop in leptin…

Protein is the building block of muscles and most all basic functions in the body, they are composed of amino acids... more importantly ALL 23 of them, they can help kill hunger, increase your metabolism and stimulate protein synthesis which helps in every aspect of weight loss and or gain. Despite what you hear, there is…

Eat Breakfast. End of discussion.

I've eaten raw chicken, cow, deer and fish. Never had an issue. Dont stress it. haha

There is no such thing as spot reduction, with a proper diet and good exercise routine you'll begin to see changes within the week. Dumbbell lunges help tone up legs and buttock area though, not spot reduction, but help tighten.

A Whey protein shake in the morning would be great, whey isolate is a fast absorbent protein that will be absorbed very quickly when you drink, in turn that'll get your body jump started for the day, also a protein rich breakfast will help kill cravings and leave you not so hungry through the rest of the day. Also, its…

Very normal, since you've essentially plateaued with what you've been doing you'll need to make adjustments, lower your calories slightly or increase your cardio slightly. I cannot see your food journal so i couldn't pick out what you should remove or replace, but judging from what you've said take the above advise.

A few things you can do within moderation and gradually progress into is remove all processed foods from your diet, thats most all frozen foods you warm up, they're trash plain and simple. Learn portion control, and check labels before you buy foods - also, if you're shopping do peripheral shopping, hug the outside of the…

It's all a matter of your calorie needs, if you're striving for fat loss then you'll need your 500 Calorie deficit, be it through exercise or minimal calorie consumption. You can mix both to increase the fat loss, if i'm going for loss; what i burn off with my cardio i keep off, but only if its withing my 500 calorie…
