you got to BELIEVE

put into greek yogurt to give it more flavor... put very little water in chocolate powder it until you make it the consistency of peanut butter and make a peanutbutter chocolate protein powder sandwich... or for that matter just make it into a sludge/spread for numerous things like rice cakes or put oats in it

it will mess up your teeth... that's all I got tho, I drink it all da time

lol easiest to be on a diet when you have a broken heart.. I speak from experience :(

^^^ good vid right there. and honestly with recomping or just trying to gain strength while putting on minimal weight is difficult.. just track calories and how I go about it is by trying to add as many cals as I can, as slow as I can, without gaining weight... do that for a while and ul be surprised how much more you can…

don't give yourself a choice to say no. just like going to work, or going school,.. or brushing your teeth lol... you cant just NOT go to the gym make it mandatory, create the habit, then it becomes easy

has to do with the glycemic index and insulin response.. faster carbs with a higher insulin response are considered high GI such as white potatoes, bananas, pasta, juice.. and slower carbs would be like complex carbs such as vegetables, apples, berries, brown rice or whatever...foods with more fiber basically the only…

no

what kind of a stupid *kitten* picture is that lol

in reality one cheat day can set you back an entire week or more if you splurge too much.. keep it to a cheat meal and then don't plan having one. it will just happen then adjust calories accordingly.

back when I was overweight I used to think I had a larger frame, but in reality I have smaller ankle and wrist joints

nothing wrong with slobbing if you are one with low appetite and cant get enough food in... just remember to eat your fruits and veggies too lol.. but srsly you need fiber and micronutrients

two eggs are 140.. people input their own foods into the bank of foods you have to be careful. just scan the items barcode

ive done keto before.. got some good results but its not a lifestyle to sustain.. honestly the only way id recommend it Is if you are extremely insulin resistant, pre-diabetic, or very overweight to help improve insulin sensitivity along with strength training and then once you drop weight and improve hormonal functions…

the lower the rep range the more rest you need between sets.. heavier sets with lower reps you need to allow your body recover longer before you can go again.

bread is not bad... white, wheat, whole grain, sourdough, rye whatever you want is not bad... what is bad is overconsumption of most foods

it sounds like to resolve your problem you should just stop having cheat days.. maybe just have a cheat meal. or don't plan your cheat day and they will sometimes happen and within the next few days you adjust your calories accordingly.

love peanut butter more than anything in the world.. unfortunately that has caused me to completely get rid of it when I try to get lean because its sad to see how little you get for one serving size. makes me realize that i consume like 3-4 servings at one time. I cant eat it in moderation it haz to go.. did same with ice…

I suggest you don't track calories burned because there is no way you can really do that accurately. just track consumption and be aware of how much cardio you do or time you put in at the gym.

throw in some more fats youl gain weight in no time.. butter, olive oil, mayo, peanutbutter.. throw that in your meals and you will hit bodyweight goals in no time

just make protein shakes and throw stuff like peanutbutter and ice cream in it.. drink one of those between meals ul be good. don't skimp on fruits and vegetables tho still need those. fiber is necessary especially on high cal diets

has anyone else notices egg prices going up?

yea I meant per day per week... reverse dieting is important too

the answer is NO... unless* you are diabetic or pre-diabetic or very overweight... in that case you have built up an insulin resistance and going relatively low carb will help. healthy adults generally should eat their carbohydrates as it is great for training and WILL fill you up if you have proper hormone function.

the slower you cut the better for many reasons. 1. you keep more muscle mass/ strength 2. your body can adjust to calories and you don't feel as hungry as dieting aggressively 3. doesn't fudge up your metabolism or hormones and is an overall healthier way... only time aggressive cuts are necessary is if you are trying to…

are you diabetic/ pre-diabetic or overweight? and how long have you been training with weights and high intensity?

well do you train to build skeletal muscle as your main goal? that's bodybuilding.

well if you are losing weight without resistance training.. you are doing it wrong.

youre right nvm I get strong as hell eating anything lol

the more you exercise the more volume your body can adapt to.. so people who have been training for years, their workouts should be far more intense and at a higher volume because their body has adapted to training. some signs of overtraining are irregular sleeping patterns, get physically ill, low sex drive... my opinion…
