  • Have you had a medical doctor diagnose you with metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance? If not I wouldn't take what you read on the internet to heart. There is no real reason to force yourself to eat 6 meals unless that works for you. I find that I function best on 2 or 3. At the end of the day the best diet is one that…

  • You make the assumption that you are dealing with rational individuals that have better things to do than argue over the internet about semantics.

  • Personally I think this concept is a little old fashioned and let me tell you where I am coming from. When this tradition started men were most likely working professional, higher paying jobs and women were most likely still living at home, working part-time or in lower paying positions. Now that women are in the…

  • I think a lot of the negative reactions towards eating 1200 calories or less comes from men who naturally are burning more calories or people of significant height and muscle mass compared to shorter women. Why would a woman who is 4'11" burn nearly the same number of calories as I do being a 200 pound male at around 20%…

  • I personally like my coffee with heavy cream or half & half. I also love a good latte or REAL cappuccino. I cut back because it was the easiest way to cut calories out of my diet. I still have on average a cup or two every other day. My wife is also staying away from caffeine so I have a hard time going through fresh beans…

  • I think if the primary goal is weight loss one should do their best to stay in a SKD diet. I have been on the road the past 3 weeks for work and did not bring my pre-workout powder. Nevertheless, I was able to keep up with my 5/3/1 lifting plan and put up some decent reps on my primary lifts. That being said, I did feel…

  • Well if you can run a 5k you will be fine as far as the running is concerned. You could always add in some hill sprints to help you crush the steeper portions of terrain. Otherwise I would focus my time on pull-ups, vertical jump training and other body-weight exercises. The Warrior Dash isn't that hard honestly if you are…

  • I brought up the same discussion yesterday on /r/ketogains and there is tons of great knowledge there. You will probably have a few good weeks of "beginners gains" as your body is getting used to the lifting movements. After that you can slowly introduce some PWO carbs (TKD) if you feel the need. I am going to start taking…

  • The first 33 pounds that I lost were by making small adjustments to my diet and not snacking on junk food. The last 25 pounds have been lost and maintained by eating a lower carb diet with the occasional cheat day or meal. When I say "low carb" I don't mean meat and fat only. I eat a ton of vegetables to get lots of fiber…
