  • I'm a SEC UT Vols fan stuck in Buckeye country. Oh the madness!
  • True enough. The "Pink Slime" or Boneless Lean Beef Trimmings product is a recent example. It may be approved by the USDA but I don't want to eat it if I can help it. Just give me choices. You just have to be smart when wtaching any documentary these days. Most times there is an agenda being driven. Eating healthy is a…
  • BoomBoom , lol...that's funny right there !
  • We didn't know any better...wouldn't have it any other way !
  • Was this directed to me ? Good grief lady...lol. Lighten up, life is too short!
  • At 48 these all ring true except the TV remote control...I was the remote for my Dad. Son, change the channel...lol
  • I've thought about watching on Netflix a few times but just can't bring myself to to do it. Just think how much worse it will be become as the population grows. Soylent Green I tell ya ! ; )
  • Something else good to add to oatmeal and protein shakes. PB2 , powdered peanut butter. lot less calories and fat than the jar PB. Good stuff.
  • Is there a reason your're looking for low carb in the morning ? I'm cutting right now but I still get 30% of my daily calories from good carbs.50% comes from protein and the rest, 20%, from good fats. Most days I have 2 scoops of Whey Protein isolate, 240cals, in water , mix in the blender with ice or (1) whole Egg and six…
  • Don't mean to preach but dont be just good enough! Go the extra mile and dial in the nutrition and you'll se exceptional results. While the workouts are tough it's only an an hour a day roughly. The hard part is eating right the other 23 hrs. off my soapbox : )
  • Here's the thing about white breads, enriched pasta and white rice. They do make you feel full but also spike your insulin which when you come down really makes you hungry. I don't see how anyone gets by on 1200 calories especially if you’re active. If possible substitute the rice for brown rice, white bread for whole…
  • Great job on the weight loss. Sounds like you've hit a plateau. You can try decreasing the number of carbs and increase protein. or add another 200 calories every other day for a week. Make sure you are taking in enough calories to begin with.
  • To repeat what has alread been said. You won't see the lowers until you dial in your nutrition and lose the excess body fat. For men it's usually below around 12 to 10 percent BF. If someone wanted to look like Rob here then low single digits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGKSgRquY9U
  • 5:30AM. yeah, it's not for everyone but I get it done and have no excuses at the end of the day why I couldn't work it in.
  • Had my rotator cuff put back together Jan 2011 after a bad skiing accident. Took 9 months of therapy and healing to be able to lift again. Don't rush it and heal first. Ask your Dr when you can get back at it.
  • Are you taking in carbs and protein after you lift...like a recovery drink? You should be replenishing. Some fatique is normal though until you adjust.
  • Too much is when it starts interferring with other priorities in your life. I would say most people are excluded from that definition. As far as working out on a rest day. If you have the energy then by all means. Do it all the time. I normally work out 6 days a week and twice on lift days which is on M,W,F. Sunday is my…
  • An old wrestlers trick to lose weight just before the weigh in is to not take in any water and excrete all the fluids they have. Also using a laxative a day before. You have to be careful as not to dehydrate yourself. Other than that there isn't much in the way of 'tricking' the body to shed weight. You could starve…
  • It is difficult as I've said and takes sacrifice. At the end of the day it comes down to personal goals. If you want to eat clean 60, 70, 80% of the time then that is your personal choice. I can read countless posts on here of people asking how to lose weight but yet don't want to take the time and effort to plan out their…
  • Hi, Of course you don't have to eat like this . However eating clean is the quickest way to succes. An old axiom is abs are built in the kitchen. Bobdybuilding is my hobby and this is the type of diet all top builders use with tremendous success. It does take some sacrifice...no argument there. I understand there are some…
  • To keep as much lean muscle as possible then weight train and eat 50P/30C/20F... or at a minimum 40/40/20. Eat only foods with one ingredient , ie; chicken, fish, turkey, broccoli, spinach,egg whites, etc. Stay off the red meat even if it's lean. Stay off the bread....it's tough I know. Lift at least three days a week. Try…
  • Done several rounds of P90X and currently on day 23 of Insanity with some 2nd workout lift days thrown in....I'm sadistic : ) With P90X you should have access to a pull up bar and dumbells for the full experience. Bands will work also but IMO more resitance is desirable. Only your body resistance required for Insanity. I…
  • On day 23 so no issues in my carpeted family room.
  • True, however, eating one meal a day isn't realistic to achieve results over the long term. For me anyway. A person could eat junk food and as long as they create a calorie defict will still lose weight. Muscle and all. So yes you can eat carbs late into the night and as I stated, for me personally, I chose to cut them out…
  • Hang in there. If you want to shed fat you need to get strict with the diet and be consistent in tracking everything. Don't allow yourself to cheat . Some people think just one little bite of this wont hurt but it snowballs and sets you back to square one. You have to plan your meals out ahead of time and eat 5 times a…
