wholewheat rather than white pasta but why eat it anyway its full of carb and tastes crap
-
yeh its great isn't it !

no you use 20 sprays or so for 20 cals, and still get the fried effect
-
You only gain weight if you eat excess calories, so I guess you are estimating what you eat. Weigh all your food and log everything you put in your mouth, even if its a tic tac. Carlkrobbo above tells the truth
-
looking at your diary you are eating a lot of carbs - try and keep them below 100g a day (net of fibre) and eat more fat (mono) and protein. Also you are probably not lifting heavy enough, lifting light weights is a waste of time. Also try and do compound moves

use the 1 cal spray ! http://www.frylight.co.uk/olive.html Don't know if you have this in America

The body repairs itself when you sleep - this is how calories get burned and fat loss occurs, particularly if one does heavy weight training which results in a number of chemical reactions to repair and rebuild the damaged muscles. This is why weight training is better for fat loss than cardio

At least you have a date, some ppl are never happy ....

No need to buy videos, just look on you tube!

Kettlebells are awesome for fat burning circuits, and yes the routine you linked is a pretty standard good one. Main thing is to do the exercises as quickly a possible using heavy weight, with minimal rest, concentrate on form, and the fat will melt off.

protein powder and water

Keto was unhealthy for me - I was tired all the time, struggled at work, loss muscle mass and my gym work outs - cardio and strength training were affected. Low carb is generally considered to be less than 100g. I was ok with this but less than 50g affected me badly
-
A high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet works, although I think very low carb / keto is unhealthy
-
OP I have also heard several times not to bring the weight too low as you can seriously injure your shoulders (rotator cuff). Like all exercises involving heavy lifting, form is the key. I agree the "proper" way only feels like half a rep but its better than not being able to do any reps at all due to injury. That said,…

yeh, gives you nasty burps

Then not den

Compound moves - using barbell to bench press, deadlift, military press, squats and bent over rows. Google "strong lifts 5x5". Forget the isolation exercises such as tricep extensions and bicep curls for the time being. Definitely increase your calories, get plenty of protein and good mono fats
-
Too much carb, try and drop it to 100g net of fibre and increase the fat and protein
-
1) You're not eating enough 2) Do some proper strength training - i.e lift heavy weights with compound moves

BMI is bad science, which is only used by health insurance companies to put premiums up

Ask this question again after 6 weeks

30lbs in 4 months = 2lbs a week

Almonds to make up the cals

Free weights are far better than machines because they recruit stabiliser muscles. That said if you have injuries, stick to the machines and/or get a trainer
-
Steady state cardio burns muscle and should be avoided as less muscle = lower BMR. That's why doing 20-25 mins HIIT is more effective as it burns more fat and less muscle, therefore better results for less effort and time. Doing lots of cardio is counter productive to fat loss because the body needs energy as quickly as…
-
HIIT gets easier the more you do it, and is great for fat loss, and takes such little time compared to steady cardio, I also find it less boring (I hate cardio). You only have to do 20 mins. Perseverance and consistency is the key If you are struggling just sprint for 30 seconds then walk for a minute and a half. As you…

The original question was "Does BMR drop as you lose weight?". Several people answered yes. My point is this is not necessarily the case, because if you exercise while cutting, BMR will increase. Calorie burn just does not come from the exercise itself, but also comes from the "afterburn" in the hours post exercise when…
-
Are you seriously denying that if you start an exercise regime or increase an exercise regime your metabolism will not increase, irrespective of a calorie deficit and fat loss? Otherwise what's the point in doing any exercise!
-
He's right if you say you want endurance - 12+ reps for endurance, 6-12 reps for size, up to 6 reps for strength. Maybe you have some mis-communication going on as you seem to suggest you want size, then go onto say you want endurance for puny tendons.
