  • OP, I'm in the same boat. I however discovered this site to lose. I started my cut around February 2012 and I have lost 80lbs and leaned up nicely eating 404020 along with HIIT type cardio. My maintenance level is right around 2200cal (desk job) so I'm slowly creeping up to around 2400-2450cal over the next couple weeks. I…
  • Not really. Perhaps starvation is the wrong term being used here. "Metabolic Coma" is more like it. I will say that not eating breakfast is no good way to lose weight, but I assume that it can be done.
  • She goes into it every morning when all she has is that coffee.
  • I should have gone more into depth. It's what comes along with the sugar in fruit (vitamins and fiber) therefore making it a healthier option compared to a bag of skittles or something alike. Foods that are high in added sugar usually don't carrry much nutritional benefit i.e foods like candy, sodas, baked goods and what…
  • Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard is my favorite. It's a good fast acting isolate and it mixes very well. No fake taste here, no added junk that you don't need and they mix well with ice cold water. If you really want to be naughty mix it with milk. That's how good it tastes. flavors I've tried are: Extreme Extreme Milk…
  • one word convenience :bigsmile:
  • Why do you say that?
  • Try Pure Protein bars. They are 200 calories wtih around 4g of sugar and about 20g of protein. I'm not sure how long you wait in between meals... 200cal might be stretching it though. Another good bar that is under 300 is the Clif bar. They only have 10g of protein so they aren't considered a protein bar but they are a…
  • Eat foods with natural sugars and I think you'll be fine. Stay away from foods that have sugar added to them. If you have a sweet tooth turn to fruit.
  • 8oz boneless Skinless chicken breast 200g of sweet potato (small to medium sized) 1/2 cup of Brown rice 1/3" salted butter Turkey bratwurst (2) 1/2 cup brown rice 1/2 cup lima beans I can tuna sammy w/ whole wheat, egg, Olive oil mayo, real american cheese Those are just a few. Check out my diary as I eat a high…
  • Protein shakes are really good for you. Whey is the best for general use unless you have a lactose intolerance and then you can try Soy (I don't recommended Soy for men!!). The best time to have a shake is immediately after waking up and immediately after your workout. These are very important times to be feeding your…
  • Go for one with a 10lb capacity (you can never have too much and the scale will come into use for other projects) and make sure that it reads in Grams, ounces and pounds. I spent around $20 for mine at walmart.
  • Water 1 tsp of Itaja Hippy Natural Sugar 1 tsp of honey Whole grains with no fat that taste good it what I'm after.
  • I would eat foods that take a while to digest. Alcohol brings on the munchies and that is a big no-no if you are trying to lose weight. In the end you are drinking meaningless calories and they will affect your plan. sweet potato boneless skinless chicken cottage cheese Are my favorites.
