I always thought Shakeology was just for the lazy? It puts all the stuff you need in one shake that you drink and move on...right? Nothing wrong with that....is it worth 130$? Depends on how much you value your time. I'll be the first to admit I'm lazy...but not lazy enough that 130$ is worth it to me....but then again, I…

Hi All, New to the group. I've been doing Krav for a little over 4 years. I've recently moved to Indianapolis from Phoenix and found a new location and I must say....it is true what they say about schools making the difference. The Indianapolis school is far inferior to the one I belonged to in Phoenix for 3 years. I'm…

This also depends on the style you are learning. For example in Krav Maga, technique matters much less then reaction speed and aggresiveness....so if you dont pluck perfectly, at least throw that groin kick hard to buy yourself extra time...things like that. I agree that under non protected situations, you should always…

I would ask this same question. You said in your original post you wanted all 3, but you typically cant do all 3. For self-defense I highly recommend Krav Maga...I dont think there is ANYTHING better then Krav for practical street defense...I'm sure people will argue this, but in my opinion it is the best. For Art you…

I think she ment 655g of protein...she is a professional body builder.

I love Jimmy Kimmel LOL

I think it also has to do with the whole "spilled milk" type of thing. If they have already lost all that weight and they did it too fast or poorly....why bash them now? They will figure it out and their time was already spent doing it. Great job on the loss and move on. If they have not started yet, and are asking for…

Right back at ya! :) I hope the OP has good luck with it...this place can do wonders if used correctly.

Have tough skin on this website...I know you said you just joined...so I want you to be prepared...if you post on here you will get good advice, bad advice and troll responses. Keep the good advice, discard the bad advice and ignore the trolls is my advice...now you need to decide which of the 3 I am. :)

If you are working out, you want to eat 1g of protein per pound of LBM...you can find calculators online to figure your LBM roughly...or you can do a BF% test to figure out exactly. A good ratio for calorie breakdown is 35% carb 35% fat 30% protein. Some people go 40% carb 30% fat 30% protein

Mmmmm McDonalds is so good...I'm jealous of you

Drinking on the weekends is the reason my weekends never stay in the green.....but I'm not about to give up drinking with friends...I am still losing just fine with 1-2 days of 800-1000 calories in drinks. I'm not fixing what ain't broke!

Ummm. You just asked what the point of all this hard work was right after saying you feel great and toned. You need to ask yourself if you care about a magical number or if you care about looking good. I dont know if maybe you have a medical condition that requires you to be less weight or whatever, but typically most…

I'd follow this advice. Reading the numbers you posted, you were eating 1200 calories and your BMR was nearly 1300...AND you exercised on top of this. You lost in 5-6 months 84 pounds.....that is a huge amount per month...if you did any damage to metabolism, at least it was only 5-6 months....wont take too long for it to…

Dont forget us dogs!

Yikes...took a look at your diary....you dont eat anything! 700-900 calories on average it seems and you have 200-300 calorie workouts on top of that. ugh.

Chinese is soooo good...I'd say I have Chinese 3 times a week....yes Sodium is high, but other then that its fine. Rice can get you so go sparingly on rice...but other then that just stay away from the fried stuff like general tso's. I love Kung Pao, Beef with brocoli, mongolian beef/chicken...oh man forget it.....the list…

If you did streneous activities the last couple of days, your muscles are probably retaining water to help repair. Weigh yourself again in 2 days or so.

Well, I'll state the obvious and say that anything is better then nothing. Are they better then lifting weights? no...do they create resistance and increase strength? yes. Could they, in a surplus of calories increase muscle mass? Yes assuming you increase the resistance bands to create a decent load for the muscle. Again,…

This. Exercise has nothing to do with weight loss. Staying in a proper deficit will create the weight loss. Use cardio activities like Zumba to increase your daily allowance and use strength training to tone your body.

Must not be Israeli couscous....because that stuff knows Krav Maga.

I believed what you wrote until I read that line....now I'm guessing this is a troll post?

His issue is he is already 155 at 17%, this will put him around what 25-26lbs of fat? If he cut down to 12% he would be around 130-135? That is far too low for a 5'7 guy. I dont see why he wouldent bulk now to 185-190 and pack on LBM and then cut down to 150 or so. At that point he should be much closer to a 12% goal…

Did you just wake up in your avatar picture? Because you look perfectly fine there. But like Acg said, when you take up you have been fasting so you will look thinner...soon as you start putting liquid and food into your body you will expand a bit...I dont think as extreme as saying 3-4 months pregnant (I'd need picture…

Moderation is the word you are searching for there. Too MANY carbs...can be a problem but in general, no, carbs are not evil.

I eat whatever I want...its only 1 day...consider it a cheat day....if you want to go punish yourself at the gym for it...all the better....I'll probably be doing that also...if you dont...who cares..its 1 day in a month. Let me clarify: I am assuming you aren't talking about putting down 10-15K in calories. To me, binging…

Yeah I agree, it is all personal preference. For me, IF would not work...I am hungry by the slightest smell or sight of food. I need to constantly shut the beast up in my stomach. I drink alot of water to keep myself full and snack/graze throughout the day. Unfortunately this makes it impossible for me to enjoy a big full…

Yes this topic is done. SideSteel basically summed it up perfectly.

Oh my....I'm excited to hear they will make more. I was under the impression Lucas said no to 7-9.
