  • ^^ This. I have done the same thing with similar results. A ratio of 2 to 2.5 is typical depending on brand, type how long you cook.

  • BOTH!! I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. Food is meant to be enjoyed. Just do so in a moderate, healthy way such that it properly fuels your body :-)

  • The difference between 30 minutes of cardio and 40 minutes isn't very much, actually. The average person burns around 10 calories per minute doing a moderately intense cardio workout. Adding five minutes a day results in difference of only 50 more calories burned. Adding ten minutes results in 100 more calories. That's…

  • Once you have been exposed to poison ivy there is no way to 'get rid of it'. You just have to let it run it's course. It takes about 1-2 weeks for it to stop oozing. Then another week for it to be gone entirely. That's just the way it is. I used to get it all the time when I was mountain biking a lot. There really isn't…

  • ^^This. Look at the ingredients. It really should just say "Peanuts". Nothing else is required to make good PB. If you have Traders Joes in your area, their house brand is very good. They also have other nut butters like Almond, Cashew, Sunflower, etc. If you don't have local TJs, another good brand is ADAMS. Most markets…

  • Trek makes good bikes. As does Specialized, Cannondale and just about any other brand you find at a Bike Shop (not Wal-Mart or other mass retailer). The most important thing about any bike you buy is how well it fits you and how comfortable you are riding it. Because if you aren't comfortable, you won't ride. Go to your…

  • What do you mean by 'treat'? I eat foods I enjoy every day. Do you mean sweet foods? I have Kiwis or Stawberrys almost every morning for snack. Pineapple or Mango in the afternoon for snack. Sometimes I'll have grapes instead. In the evening I have an Apple with Peanut Butter on it. I love that snack! I also have about 1…

  • All of the online calculators for BMR and TDEE are based on formulas that ESTIMATE the values. They are APPROXIMATIONS, nothing more. The only way to know exactly what your TDEE is every day would be to constantly measure it. This would be unrealistic since you would need to live in a lab to do so. The good news is, you…

  • 45 pounds in 3 months works out to be about 3.5 pounds lost per WEEK (45/13=3.5). One pound of fat takes roughly 3500 calories to burn off. That works out to a DAILY calorie deficit of 1750 calories (3.5*3500/7=1750). This means if you eat 1450 calories per day, you need to be burning a total of 3200 calories per day.…

  • You should be pooping every day. Once a week is not healthy. Just think of all the toxins in your body that cannot get out! I used to have the same problem, actually. No amount of fiber helped. What did help was an all natural, herbal supplement called Dr. Schulze's Intestinal Formula #1. I take one pill every night and…
