I'm sure someone else has mentioned it, but there is a product called "Dreamfield's Healthy Carb Living" pasta, which has a lower glycemic index due to the nature of the wheat and the amount of fiber. This **basically* means that your blood sugar wont spike from eating it like it would with traditional noodles. I actually…

Hello All, After trying, unsuccessfully, to drop my post-college weight through calorie restriction, I'm now willing to listen to you "crazy" people and try eating more to lose some weight. About Me: Well, I'm a middle school lacrosse coach(Go Dragons!) and student working on my Masters in Journalism. I also do some…

OK. I would like to thank all of you for the advice. Here's what I'm going with. - 2190 Calories per day. (4x a week) - No eating back calories. - 40/30/30 Carbs/Protein/Fat ( i selected this because it had about the right amount of protein for my Lean Body Mass. However, I should be able to eat under the allotted carbs…

Disclaimer: I am a CrossFitter. I don't do Paleo. I'm a copywriter, so I'm pretty sure I won't be dodging bullets or saving anyone's life anytime soon. Is it worth it? Yes, but only if you need it. And I'll tell you why. I hate traditional "exercise". For me, the 7 Circles of hell all feature jogging or swimming in some…

I'm in St. Petersburg. Moved here from Manhattan in 2002 for college, got sucked in, yada yada. I hate it here now. As SOON as I can leave, I will. I'm living on a month-to-month lease so as soon as I get a job where there are seasons and it isn't 95 degrees and humid in April. BUT, if you love it here. Kudos to you.

If you are just walking at low pace, eat first. It helps with digestion. If you are doing a proper metabolic/strength workout, I would eat a small snack before for some quick energy, and then eat a big meal after. My reasons are, IMAO: - You don't want to feel heavy and sluggish. - You don't want to throw up. - Your…

I hate most healthy vegetables, but I have to eat them for fiber, yada yada yada. - Grill asparagus with some lemon juice and Herbs de Provence. Get a nice char on there and, if you close your eyes, it's almost like eating meat. - A LOT of Spinich will cook down to a dense little package. Just force it down. It takes 30…

IMAO, Cheat "days" are what kill my progress every time. I've been on here for over a month, and I always end up screwing myself over because I think I can have a cheat day because I was so good throughout the week. It always ends up becoming more than one day, and it becomes even harder to get back in the swing of things.…

I have a black-tri Aussie Shepherd named Adelaide, or Addie for short. Couple more things: - Bella is the worst name for a dog ever. - Chihuahuas aren't dogs. They are rats. Get a real dog or a pet mouse.

My bodyfat is done by one of the trainers at my CrossFit affiliate, with calipers.

Yarwell, Thanks for that information. One more question... Because we factored in my workouts, I should NOT be eating calories back right?

Hey All, I'm Chris. I'm originally from Manhattan, but moved down to St. Petersburg for college in 2002. Got sucked in, and have been here since. I'm currently 5'7", 168 pounds. 17.4% Body Fat. Goals: 156 pounds, 10% Body Fat. Feel comfortable enough to take of my shirt at the beach and not feel self-conscious. I recently…

Hey Everyone! I'm Chris, and I'm in St. Petersburg proper.
