agree.

Going 100% raw isn't for everyone. Unless you live in a city which contains raw vegan cafes, as well as a adequate funds... A 100% raw diet will be tough, unless you are willing to sacrifice the eating out. I am a raw foodist, which means 80% of my diet is raw food. I enjoy this life style and it isn't to hard for me to…

Well, Think about this... A long distance runner vs. a sprinter, compare a photo of the two. In my experience, you are going to maximize your fat burning ability while retaining muscle mass by following a high intensity cardio training routine or "HIIT" (High intensity interval training). I'd say 20 minutes worth 3 times a…

welcome, and good luck on your journey!

I agree with the other guys, It is really just up to you. If you are doing 8 week bulks, you'll have plenty of time to get a good one in before summer (which is when you really want to be cutting). On another note though, depending on your BF% I suppose...I can't imagine you are going to gain all that much fat at a 250 cal…

Either way, just remember...If in doubt, always under sell how many calories you burn.

What do you consider "healthy eating"? just curious Also, I'm not sure how much you workout, but over-training can make you feel pretty crappy. This is probably not the cause here, but it may contribute...

True starvation doesn't happen in a few days like that. If you think you are starving, It is most likely because you have fed your body extremely regularly for years and years. In my opinion it is mostly mental, and partly food addiction. some religious monks fast for up to 30 and 40 days before encountering "true…

Have you priced cancer, lately?

Hmm...Instead of peanut butter, you could always just put some ground nuts/seeds in there. Also, you could look into adding some oil flax,olive,coconut. These would provide a good amount of fat/calories, but I'm not sure about the taste. If you don't like PB, you probably wont like almond or sesame butter either, but it…

Yes, Carbs will become your best friend! ha ha I like it a lot, Go easy on the agave (it is about 4x sweeter than sugar) ! :P See, the rolled oats give you a nice amount of carbs, the peanut butter is going to provide a good amount of fat, and the raw cacoa is one of the highest antioxidant foods on earth. Also, it is a…

I'd put about 12 bananas and maybe a few dates in a blender and drink it down a little while before the event! seriously. The only problem with that is, If you haven't conditioned your stomach to that much intake at once, it may prove very difficult to consume that at once. If you are conditioned, the advantages of fruit…

Are you talking resistance machines, or cardio machines? If you are talking about weight training machines, you should really focus more on repetitions than time. Example: try doing 3 sets of 15 repetitions with 30 second rest periods between sets, or 4 sets of 10 repetitions. You will get much better results and form a…

I have news for ya man, anyone can be healthy in their 20's. Guys that dominate their diet with meat are not the guys who are healthy and in the gym at 70-80 years old. They are the ones having heart bypass surgery and living in nursing homes. I always laugh when people say "I just don't like fruits and vegetables". My mom…

Single, not dating.

Whole fruits whole vegetables raw nuts raw seeds legumes (no cans) raw fish Milk is super processed...

^--- This. Yeah, It just depends on your goals, man. Right now I am bulking, so I walk for 30 minutes, then I lift. I like walking first because it help get my blood circulating well. during a cutting cycle, I'll lift first then do some moderate or HIIT cardio after because it gets me pumped up for the rest of my day..

Cow's milk is for cows.

I normally refer to myself as a raw foodist, clean foodist, natural foodist, etc. I live in cattle country and noone knows what vegan is anyhow, ha ha. Technically, yes I am a vegan. It is truly the only diet that ever made sense to me, and I enjoy it very much.

Good point, agreed. That is why I don't bulk up so well, I just love my endurance cardio too much! I can live with that though!

Ok guys here is the truth. Long ago, I started out on the typical body builder diet of lean meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, brown rice, oatmeal, peanut butter, greek yogurt etc. I've cut out carbs and starches. I've been a vegetarian I've been a vegan I've done 100% raw diets and 80/10/10 as well. I have seen hands down…

Great question. 3 favorite raw foods would have to be Bananas, Pink lady apples, and good homegrown tomatoes. I love broccoli steamed, but I just can't eat it raw, ha ha. I have tried so many times. Sprouts are also hard for me. Specifically mung bean sprouts, they have a very strong flavor that I don't find appealing. I…

It doesn't just happen on some online messageboards. Nutrition companies and fad diet guru's started 90% of these false claims in the first place. The spit out misinformation, everyday. Example: "YOU NEED MORE PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN, WASH IT DOWN WITH PROTEIN!" -Protein powder company No, What you need is to strength…

1280 calories and you're doing insanity!? Are you eating back the calories you burn? I did insanity and my weight only shifted 4 or 5 pounts for the whole 2 months. I was just replacing the fat with muscle at the same time, muscle weighs more than fat.

Fruit is nature's fast food. With none of the ammonia or cholesterol.

^this

That's pretty awesome about the indigenous people. I think years of synthetic chemicals and other toxins have blocked many of our body's natural defenses and senses, like the eye sight thing. Our bodies are so powerful at healing themselves naturally, to a degree that we may never understand. If native cultures and wild…

For me, It has nothing to do with thin vs. overweight. I spend a lot of time and energy on my fitness and health. These are very important aspects of life to me. With that said, I personally don't think I could be with someone who doesn't.
