I personally stay away from mixes and the like. I prefer to use an isolated whey protein powder for the protein aspect rather than things like body by vi or shakeology as a lot of them have carbs, and cornstarch and the like. (Not saying yours does, it's just my mantra ^.^) Start off by a cup of skim milk or almond milk…

WOW since nobody seems to know. BUMP stands for Bring My Post Up. And a good multivitamin is CRUCIAL during dieting in my opinion.

Really I thought my stance was quite clear, in lieu of research and education a doctor is your best bet. Just understand that if you turn away from informing yourself you leave yourself entirely in the hands of an individual who's motives, skill, and understanding are all things you cannot gauge.

Sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but you obviously didn't read my whole post. Read my response to another who posted the same thing as you did on the first page, (My post may be on the second) and maybe you'll understand. It was enough for the first person to remove his comment, maybe youll learn enough about context to do the…

You didn't take my entire post into account when writing this and obviously did not follow the logic. Not all businesses are biased, not all hospitals are there to maximize profits. That being said there certainly are a lot that are. When you go to a restaurant some restaurants are true to their word and only use fresh…

I wouldn't agree with this one bit. Not wanting your spouse or significant other to flirt has relatively little to do with being insecure. Yes for a lot of people it can come from insecurity, but people have different values when it comes to what constitutes monogamy. Who are you to say a person is insecure just because…

I have a huge problem with modern medicine, specifically because quite simply it's a business. A business has a job to make money, and as such is biased. Aside from the conspiracy on the modern medicinal society which you can get enough bullroar about by using google, I would also have to point to the statistics of how…

Actually I have to thank you for the site, I edited my previous post but had done so at the same time as your reply. It seems I've been following his diet pretty closely just from my general nutrition knowledge. Very few carbs, high protein, and snack on measured fruits and veggies. I always weigh my food, ALWAYS. Most…

You misunderstand I'm actually not trying to lose the fat quickly, It just seems to be happening that way. Also can you explain why you say it isn't healthy and what kind of problems I could run into? I already have heard it isn't healthy which is why I posted this topic, the question here is why, and what is it going to…

BUMP! :D

Garlic, Lime, and ginger tofu stir fry. :D

Well if it's a month and a week from now you can actually lose the weight simply by changing your goals here to 2lbs a week. Set yourself on sedentary since you'll be in recovery mode, and try and get in at least 3 hours of walking in the week and you'll be there by your birthday no problem. :) Just make sure to eat back…

Exactly the body I'm going for, lean, very toned, not overly large and encumbering muscles. Should get there in about 5 months given my current progress. :)

For the record nutritionist is not a protected term, anyone here can call themselves a nutritionist. If I were you I would speak with a dietician. Anybody telling you to cut out fruits because of sugars doesn't understand anything, and is just looking at sugar content and thinking sugar is sugar. Sugar in fruits is not the…

Thanks a ton becky, you really helped me out with the amount of sodium intake I should have on a daily basis. Based on your post I did some research and will be reducing my sodium intake. ^.^ Cheers. Z

So essentially it's not going to affect my weight having a serving a couple times a week so long as I'm not over eating? I generally don't go above a serving in a day, and I don't binge out and eat a ton of it. I also let it replace carbs and such, so it doesn't change a whole lot. I just didn't know if the ton of salts…

Sorry to bump, but I could really use an answer. ^.^

From my dietician: When losing fat your body begins to break down the bonds between the fat cells to make them more available, that combined with losing the higher density fat cells that are the main causes for cancer and illness are the reason why your fat is more jiggly. In the end it is a good sign! It means you're…

Honestly I have myself set as sedentary, I'm 6'4 and not a small guy by any stretch. MFP only alots me 1670 calories per day, which for most people seems like a snack, or at most a single meal. That being said I don't feel tired or uncomfortable in the least. The best thing to go by is how you feel, if you can sustain…

Honestly I do ALL my training outside the gym, I can obtain similar results to someone in the gym from home, it saves me time getting to and from the gym, and it's much more convenient to schedule in my work out. The hardest thing to keep up up at home is the intensity, and making sure you have a good workout plan! That…

If you can there are electric hand held devices that are very accurate! They deviate less than 5% from the 20000$ machines that olympic dieticians use. I bought one after seeing the dietician at my school, she has both devices as she is part time in the college, and part time with olympic lifters here in montreal. It's…

That's why they don't do it, it's much harder to track, and you're going to wind up fluctuating your diet a lot on a day to day basis instead of your body getting used to a certain level of intake. If you really need to fluctuate, what I would do is save up your exercise calories and use those when you want to eat a nice…

Honest answer? It entirely depends on what you're trying to accomplish with your work out. If you're training only to boost your cardiovascular system, then heart rate is really the key, and it will make little difference which you use. That being said unless you have a heart rate monitor most treadmills have these built…

Yeah it's not going to calculate it for you, the only thing you can do is multiply your daily intake that you're supposed to have by 7. Add the total amount of calories you would burn during the week from work outs. Then you can go from there. It's a lot less accurate that way though, and your body would benefit from a…

Here is a post I made in another topic about the same question, the person had added their height and weight so the references likely aren't accurate, but the knowledge in the post is still good. :) "Honestly 1250 calories per day is more than obtainable, and sustainable for your body. I'm 6'4 and 230LBS and MFP calculates…

Honestly 1250 calories per day is more than obtainable, and sustainable for your body. I'm 6'4 and 230LBS and MFP calculates only 1630 calories per day for me, and I can sustain that with relatively little issue. If I can do it at nearly a foot taller than you you can to. Given your height and weight your BMI is around 27,…

That's very sad! :( my condolences, I've lost both my grandfathers and it is not an easy thing. As for your weight loss goal, sure it's possible! Go to settings and set your weight loss needs to 2lbs a week and you'll be down in no time! Just eat right and get in some cardio and you'll be all set. Good luck! :D

The unfortunate truth of the matter is there is absolutely no miracle way to simply reduce fat in a certain area of your body. If you have a pouch this is because your over all percentage of body fat is high enough to create a visible fat deposit on your body. Everyone body is different, men tend to store fat in the lower…

Well I feel it may not entirely be my place to post here as this is your life I must offer you some advice. A lot of people will tell you to stay together for the kids, you're their role models, you married the person for a reason that person you married is there just you need to figure out what's keeping them blocked etc.…
