Isn't a drag down.. You will be that lean again even if you don't end up the same measurements. My bf in high school was about 18%, but because I hadn't matured ( or birthed babies) I had an 18" waist. Will my bodyfat be 18% or less again? hell, yes will I ever have an 18" waist again? Hell, no...

To me it means, no processed foods, no dairy, no grain, no soy, no sugar, no booze and heavily processed foods were first incorporated into the north american diet after WW11 and mainly in the 1960s...not that long ago unless you are 6 :P

I have a buddy who lost 80lbs of fat and gained 25lbs of muscle while on keto diet. He went from 42" waist to 28" waist in about 18 months.

This is a question for a medical professional. Go see a different doctor, perhaps even a naturopath. Don't take medical advice from a bunch of untrained people on a website!

water with a wedge of lemon, green tea - esp Stash green chai, chamomile tea.... white wine spritzers- heavy on the spritzer!

Generally, I find the negative comments come from men who are over 40, out of shape and know they have no shot in hell in my EVER noticing they exist :P

nope...but I have a disorder that keeps me from doing ANYTHING unless I will finish in top 5 or 10%

The media has taken a lot of words and made them meaningless....there is nothing that is just boring and average anymore...it is all a major crisis. snowstorm= snow-pocalypse winning anything by more than 2 points= slaughter eating more calories=binge and when I was a kid, there was no such thing as a food binge. Binges…

If you want a precise bmr measurement, go have your bodyfat and VO2 intake measured.

exactly no machines= no stress

thank you with smiley

stupidity, meanness, bigotry, xenophobia...slovenliness, actually, pretty much everything

I am working out, I am not looking to hook up. A sports bra is UNDER wear.

Yes, so true. Women are very quick to judge someone in awesome shape as self absorbed narcissists or as potential psychotic abusers. Unfortunately, the self absorbed, narcissistic, psychotic abusers come in ALL shapes. Don't be slagging any man based completely on how he looks or how much time he spends in the gym. You may…

uh....no way anyone would guess this as over 10% bf!!

No cheat days for me. I have issues with food...and as long as I am eating clean, I seem to have things under control. Add in a cheat day/ free for all and I am done.

Awesome!!! I now know why my hands are so thin!

Exactly. If I compulsively eat 500 calories and then go puke it up, I have a binge purge issue.

I would like the entire top row, thank you! Honestly, my taste runs from huge muscles (think strongman competitors) to lean swimmer's bodies. The one thing I cannot stand at all is fat....not cute, not cuddly...it is just FAT. My body varies between muscled and cut to lean/athletic.

You can buy a boob change. I would love to be TALLER...am 5'5 and the shortest woman in my family for 4 generations Being called the runt and the pygmy is never cool

Buy pants that fit. The only reason you would have that problem is that the pants are too short through the rise and too tight.

sweet jesus

PRECISELY. Some of us have an unnatural relationship with food and we use it as a drug. One slip doesn't make you a failure, it just means you are human.

Either works well for me. Currently, belong to a gym as I live in a teeny apt.

When I see the research test subjects competing in the IBBF, I will believe the data.

this is the best example of magical thinking I have ever seen. You lost no weight, gained inches and expect your percentage of bodyfat to have DECREASED by 11%? puh-lease I like Covert Bailey's lean mass calculator. If you have no access to calipers or bod pod or submersion, it is the next best thing.…

Paleo....because it makes me feel good I keep my ratios high fat, mid protein and low carb. I am usually about 30g of carbs a day but I put in a cycle every 5 days to a high of around 175g. And yes, this is ketogenic as well. This allows me to retain my muscle and to shed the fat.
