I too,after 38 years in the fitness game, have been juicing for the past 5. In the short run...cool, very cool. I see and feel a difference that for me is unmistakeable. You're interest in protein due to my profession is and has always been the big gym myth. "Dude, you gotta eat 2 grams per pound of body weight to get…

Hey! No quitting. A break maybe...but never quit. I'm new to this thread but thought I'd throw out some ideas. This forum and My Fitness Pal is a fantastic tool to get ideas and pointers from friends along with killer supportive encouragement. But one thing is proper interpretation of the information given and application…

How much is different for everyone. The thing I strive for now...is "the least effective dose for the goal." Meaning do the least workouts no matter cardio, strength or yoga required to achieve the current goal with a given workload. When just starting out, two days at 30 minutes of "work" is all that's needed until the…

Its part outside intervention with exercise...mainly cardio to strip fat down to a level that most don't enjoy or have time to do with aggressive strength training using all of the previous exercises. but even before that is the diet. Learning how to eat in alignment with a fat loss goal (cellulite loss is fat loss) is an…

Our diet is THE whole ball game. You can do far less, look and feel much better with less effort in the gym and more in the kitchen. Truth. Emile Jarreau,aka, Mr. Fat Loss

Hey Candy, This will sound like something you may have heard before...but its a journey. My first question with my clients or new folks coming through is " How long have you had the desire to lose weight?" Most say..." A long time and Ive tried everything!" The big secret? Do not diet. Eat well, eat balanced and avoid ALL…

Hello All, Thought I'd throw my two cents in on this post. So...here it is. Dairy as we now see it in our local stores is mostly processed and not good for our body. ALL man made dairy is full of chemicals and flavoring to allow pasteurization and maintain shelf life. For general health the micro-nutrients can be obtained…

Yes, Get body fat checked to see how much muscle you have versus fat and also take before and after photos. This information will provide positive feed back to keep you moving in the right direction.

Hi ladies, I'm totally excited about your goals and see you all have a variety of ways you've started your process...and this will be a fantastic journey of self discovery for you! One thing I noticed is that beyond the short range goal of just being bikini ready by summer, the wedding, a reunion, postpartum, etc. is there…

Fruits fine. Just use low glycemic fruit (berries like rasp, straw,blue) immediately in the "post workout" window mixed in a recovery shake. Using low carb (vegan) type will help curb your cravings. Reason after workout? It's the time the glycogen (muscle fuel) is reduced to its low point and will absorb into recently…

Body Beast...its the end destination for the serious fitness enthusiast. But then again...then blend of P90X2 with the fat loss results adding Insanity...and of course the diet. The diet dialed in like your ARE THE PRODUCT OF THE TALK YOU TALK , WALKING THE WALK YOU WALK. I love to train and after 37 years...just 50 more…

See about a proper body fat scale or have someone check you body fat like a trainer in a local gym. Then along with the pictures I'm sure you took when you started this journey :) you have some good feed back tools instead of just weight on the scale. This side lines many people and it causes enough frustration to possibly…

Keto diets are big in the physique world and how its done with our competitors. It works well when understood and applied correctly. Training only needs to be 1 hour per day and can go as many as 6 days per week depending on where a person is with their target date. Too much will only invite injury and spike the need for…

One thing is to make sure that you eat breakfast with higher calories , along with mid morning snake and lunch having more quantity plus quality calories coming in specific to your goal , then smaller meals before bed. the snacks others have mentioned are good...but also eat on the front half of the day more calories than…

Hi elenaddp, No doubt the weather can be a challenge to get motivated...but is the goal important to you to achieve or...? Remembering our WHY is always the most important reason to stay focused. And then to leverage as many additional reasons as you can think of that meet that goal. Food and sleep are the first things we…

Sorry for late reply GusnJay, You situation is fairly straight forward. If the excess skin is uncomfortable visually and you want to change it, seeing a plastic surgeon to help remedy it is the best course of action. At a certain point of weight increase the skin also stretches and may not regain its original elasticity…

uh-oh....thats not good and you've already probably figured that out though. Have you ever thought the reverse and decided to get in THE MOST KILLER SHAPE so you're looking crazy good? Then giving him nothing but a thank you as you date someone else that's less damaging to your self esteem? Like they say...nothing is…

sounds like it may be time to strengthen the glutes more than thighs and stretch hip flexors to reduce to reciprocal inhibition that exists.

Ive made huge strides cutting carbs to net level of 62 grams per day...to strip fat. Once gone i'll raise them back up in a "zig-zig" or cycle fashion to maintain low body fat all year long.

It may also be the intensity of effort. Many times some us believe we are working hard based on perceived exertion level. Like the typical "I'm sweating so i must be losing fat, right?" Not so fast. What may have happened is the body has adapted to the workload and either needs a push with more increased set/reps with the…

Hey bro, Its common for a young guy to build lean muscle tissue and drop fat simultaneously when motivated.I see it all the time. You sound as though your diet may be on point, your work load is solid but haven't taken body fat checks. Have you? The test will give solid direction as to doing more or less adjusting to macro…

Hi You've done well so far. Did you take body fat, pictures and measurements? Sometimes just the scale can be deciding and we need a few more elements to give us feedback when we get discouraged. An easy one i recommend to my over achievers and stubborn believers...is get a pair of pre baby jeans that are tight. Like so…

Easy does it and give yourself a long runway to expect a permanent life change. Didn't happen on two or three months and it'll take some time done safely. Emile

Absolutely!. Yes you have some right now...just get the body fat levels down sub 15 % and you'll see them begin to peek through :) Emile

Hello Ladies, Its a reflection of the water combined with actual current weight. You haven't actually gained body fat weight and your weight will return to the usual in the morning. Good rule of thumb...weight yourself same time of day, best in mornings :) Emile, aka, Mr. Fat Loss
