  • It's an inflammatory disease which can lead to autoimmune diseases. It's why those with celiac disease have several reactions when they eat wheat.
  • Those that under go the band to shrink their stomach probably eat about this amount in a day. If morbidly obese, 800 is commonly prescribed for a quick and fast weight loss. It's not sustainable but that's because it doesn't have to be. Surgery through layers of fat lengthens the procedure. Also figuring out anesthetics is…
  • First off, I've never had lyme disease nor have I done ketosis, but I listen to podcasts. (So not qualified but probably no less qualified to give advice than anyone else on this forum i.e see a nutritionist) However, Tim Ferriss did nutritional ketosis to fight off some symptoms of his lyme disease. I don't know why or if…
  • I know there are areas of error with my Fitbit Flex but I use it as a pretty decent guideline. One thing I've noticed is when I pet my dog I will get steps which he deserves. He is a great dog.
  • May I just note: I found out YESTERDAY that they reformulated and discovered today that the Peanut Butter ones I have are from the new formula. I never would have guessed it before. However, before yesterday I was thinking my memory of them was better and that maybe I had too many and didn't like the flavor anymore. Today,…
  • When i started running I just listened to high energy songs. Songs that just pump you up. It always pushes me to keep going or go faster.
  • Almond milk. I have Almond Breeze unsweetened for 30cal a cup and it makes a difference to water without adding calories.
  • I've heard of people sleeping in their gym clothes. One less excuse until you are used to the new routine. I set up classes that MADE me get up and was held accountable. Those were 530am so 600am is like sleeping in a little now that I have more flexibility. If you live alone set up multiple alarms across the room. Light…
  • Wait until tomorrow then tell us just your arms hurt.
  • People that mindlessly talk while I'm working on something. Why do I care about what your husband did last weekend?
  • I have come accustomed to the Chocolate Chunk. It wasn't great when I first tried it but now its one of my favorite flavors. Sept 29th they have a limited edition flavor revealed! I hope its pumpkin!
  • I had a simple Chest strap with watch and it was pretty accurate until I changed the battery. The brand claimed error to 10% so if it said 100kcals you write off 90. I recently got the Polar H7 chest strap without a watch and struggling to find an app to use it properly with. Polar's app was miserable. Anyone have…
  • Fish Oil + Vit D The oil helps absorption for Vit D and maybe a few others. I take a few of these on an empty stomach (yeah yeah yeah, eat with a meal for better absorption. Well i don't play by your rules!) In the beginning it helped my mood a lot but the effect has tapered since. Maca Root Yes its for libido, kinda…
  • I started in July and do not regret it (other than maybe halfway in a WOD). My box is super supportive and makes it fun. If you are competitive it really drives you to push harder.
  • The more I think about it that was about body health and no so much about calories burned. I would probably stick to 4 min high impact.
  • The best I've ever had was Nectar Syntrax Mocha Cappuccino oh man what a treat and they have a lot of flavors. You can get sample packets and try a few, too.
  • The calories burned during workout may be just high impact aerobic at this point. Most of the calorie burn is the after effect assuming you're hitting with everything you've got. Unfortunately, unless you have a O2 meter (or some other atypical measuring system) on all day this really cannot be accurately calculated. The…
  • Follow up with your doctor if you haven't already. Maybe take an iron supplement of low dose unless you eat adequate red meat.
  • I've been playing around with a few. Fish Oil Vit D Maca Root Gotu Kola L-carinthe BCAA 5-HTP GABA Alpha-lipoic acid Caffeine Magnesium sometimes Garlic Oil/Green Tea/ CLA I find it a hobby and like to monitor how I feel throughout the week.
  • Getting good sleep/solid rest? Your age group needs about 9 hours and with heavy workouts you definitely need it.
  • The only reason I run faster is to end it sooner. But whatever it takes to get the job done! I've done a half marathon this last spring and promised myself never to do it again. More power to ya!
  • A lot of those runners cross-train, too.
  • Your frame sounds like "skinny fat" where most of us envy you but you still feel the bulged. Cardio is great to condition your lungs and heart but you want to build your core for your frame change. Strength training will definitely help your posture. Slouching will make any gut look soft. I agree that you need to eat at…
  • Yeah I can run like none other but put me on a bike and my quads are yelling WTF! Make sure to stretch a good bit after that and pace yourself in the future. Your cardio sounds fine but your muscle memory needs practice.
  • Oh forgot to add, to monitor you exercise calories best I would suggest a Heart Rate Monitor. Even some of the cheaper ones have about a 10% error. It says 100cal burnt, you at least burnt 90. I like the chest strap and watch combo for constant information. You can put your age, height, and weight stats in and can give you…
  • It sounds like you don't want to continue on as you are if you don't have to. Minimum effective dose, looking for the least amount of work to get results. After going the way you have for a month, I would take it slow eating back your workout calories. You don't want a rubber band effect (all of a sudden you eat 1700cal…
  • I have seen the 21 day fix work for a friend of mine. I have tried other BB workouts and enjoyed them. Turbo Fire can be pretty intense but fun. The advertising is a bit annoying so I have more often downloaded torrents that have been edited out. I don't have those extra 5 mins in my morning to waste on commercials!
  • People eat back calories because it can be too extreme of a deficit to sustain. Can you imagine eating at the rate for 6 months straight? You may lose the same amount of weight in 3 months but if you go back to your old eating habits you may gain twice as much back. Slow and steady wins the race and is why people eat back…
  • Not to mention water retention if the meal was high sodium. If you drink water throughout the rest of the evening then you have flushed out some of the salt and less retained water.
  • Grab a pedometer. If you have a smartphone (and can keep it on you at work) you can turn step counting feature on and can give you a rough estimate of what your personal activity level is like at work. I use a Fitbit Flex and find its pretty good and keep me at my goals.
