Kill it!! Weights destroy fat! Don't worry about the scale.

Pb really doesn't have that much protein.

Cardio without Strength training: my thoughts on this topic are simple. Runners/ cardio bunnies are not only soft, but objectively fat (skinny fat) now the issue of health arises. Fat secretes estrogen (fact) estrogen promotes heart disease and cancer (medical fact) so I think that brings me back to my main point. It isn't…

J. That comment was to Grama and the misinformation about sugar.

skinnier? What is your body fat %? Running typically metabolizes any tissue thats easy for it to burn (which is not always fat) its easy for your body to use stored glycogen and muscle for energy. In my experience (60 plus clients including tri-athletes) runners still remain soft and squishy STRENGTH TRAINING is the real…

Do not focus on weight. What you can do is train specifically for recomposition. You can def trim down your hips but instead you could do that and increase the size of your shoulders creating a really nice taper . I always tried to fight my true frame until i learned to embrace it and improve it.

Any 8th grader that paid even a little attention in biology knows this is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Perhaps you attended school during a time when we didnt have the knowledge and information we do today. I am also a fitness professional, and am stunned by this statement. It is scary-wrong and i would recommend until you brush up…

perfect! I was 163 at my heaviest but 15% BF. i'm 5'3 LOL if i cared about the scale i would have had a heart attack! GREAT ADVICE

Cortisol (stress hormone) is high in the morning. I think it is best to get a few meals in before you workout. That doesnt mean a few sips of a shake followed by some light cardio and breakfast shortly after is the worst thing in the world....lifting probably not before a meal. I personally prefer to W/O much later in the…

watch those crystal lights!! They still contain aspartame

The best advice i can give is however hard you think you are already working, times by 10 and go harder. Your mind will tell you to stop faster then your body. PUSH and PUSH MORE

Here's my recipe for egg muffins i posted yesterday breakfast "muffin" Carb-less too! grease muffin tin crack one egg in each tin sprinkle loose turkey sausage (about 2oz) in each top with 1 oz cheese bake at 350 for about 10 - 15 minutes let cool and pop them out! keep them in the fridge. Grab and GO!!! When i'm eating…

"HINT" water Poweraide Zero Zevia Soda Water with ginger or water with XTEND

Keep it up. Great work You could end up with a competitive physique! Best advice i can offer is work on BACK like its the last think you'll ever do. Women have a hard time building lats. Get on those pulls up like its your JOB!!

Cess, michael and I are 100% italian taking away cheese just wouldn't be right. HAH When i'm cutting for a show is the only time i cant have it. We are honeymooning in europe. I plan on making it my TOUR DE CHEESE

I use to. Haven't had my menstrual cycle in about 13 months! When you get down under about 15% body fat a lot of women lose it! Doc assured me it'll go back to normal when my body normalizes at this body fat. Hope so! Getting married in February and babies shortly after!!!

Too many people are afraid of cheese. Not this girl!! Lol

As mentioned in previous posts, while you may not GAIN weight , you are likely not promoting proper nitrogen balance. I think all MFP members need to realize NOT hitting your calorie goals is not necessarily a good thing. Be more focused on where it's coming from and when. Consider spacing your food out and making protein…

Typical week 2 days on one day off but lately it's more like 6 days (shoulders, back, chest, legs, off, touch up day (calves rear delts abs and repeat shoulders (whatever I want to grow I hit twice per week) I lift by the book hypertrophy style typically (supplementing with circuit training occationaly) 5 sets heavy as…

It gave me a good laugh

Wow thank you so much. It's nice to share this stuff in a place that people actually care to hear about it!

If you read my reply to the other poster you can see my story, my situation is a little different considering this is not just for general fitness for me. Regardless. The same rules apply to any lady looking to build. To answer your question it was a little more like year and half.

Hello. A few months after the before photo I had competed in two figure shows. After being at such a huge deficit for so long when I normalized my eating I added A LOT of weight. I had a strategic plan since I knew that post show it was easy to gain fat and start to look sloppy I increased my protein slowly over a 6 month…

And thats FAST For a woman!

TIME! The most important point. I have been doing this a long time & I happen to have a cool before/after shot. TWO YEARS to get to that point and still working... Slow gains!!! <a href="http://s1174.photobucket.com/albums/r602/dfantabenefit/?action=view&current=c08e2ad0.jpg" target="_blank"><img…

I appreciate that. Thank you.

Thanks cool reply! I put my time in and love what i do!

Yes ma'am. Do you have a Whole foods in tucson? Check there or any local nutrition store! Its amazing they have "dr. Zevia" tastes just like Dr pepper (my fav), cream soda is heavenly and several other awesome flavors!! It is sweetened with stevia!

Hello I use several different types of protein for different times Post workout I will use Optimum Nutrition's EGG protein (i respond well to egg) or Isopure ready to drink bottles in Passion fruit Before bed i use Optimum Nutrition's Casine in Vanilla. Casine is a slow digesting protein good for periods of time you will…

Thanks, It really does the trick! I honestly think you could even fool kids with this one!
