  • How about some home made muffins/cookies/granola bars ? Or maybe a breakfast cake (http://www.bodyrock.tv/2009/11/13/bodyrock-tv-breakfast-cake/). I like to cook eggs and have mashed eggs with a touch of mayo ready in the fridge for a quick snack. Works well on a tortilla when you're heading out. Beside, any fruits +…

  • Is this the product you are taking ? http://www.optislim.com.au/modules/mastop_publish/?tac=VLCD_Shakes_Chocolate_more_info If so, the website do state it is 150 calories per serve / 450 per day if taking 3. Maybe they are recommending to do the shakes with milk or add something, which would bring up the number of calories…

  • The pill prevents you from experimenting the mood swings and other "side effect" of menstruation, currently known as PMS ;) I always thought I was a very lucky women for not having those dreadful PMS. It changed when I stopped taking the pill ! Some months are easier. Others are terrible. It's all about hormones. If you…

  • Having a water cooler at home changes everything for my and my husband. I hate the taste of tap water refrigerated in the fridge. With the cooler, I never go long without refilling my bottle which I carry with me everywhere. I also drink about 2 x 20 oz a day of flavored water (Crystal Light, Nestea, etc.), it helps !

  • It's good to add Vitamine D during winter if you live up north but you multi-vitamin may already include enough. You shouldn't feel too concerned about missing vitamins if you have a balanced diet containing mostly fresh and whoole food.

  • I'm with you Estelle ! I'm fit (Zuzana's follower too ;), don't really have any weight to lose, pretty decent BF% , I eat well about 80% of the time but I still have that wobbling around my hips, butt and tights. Do you have a desk job ? I'm suspecting these last 15 years spent mostly seated are part of the reason my…

  • Weight can fluctuates by a few pounds every day for a number of reasons. Maybe if you jumped on the scale yesterday, you'd see a 2 pounds lost instead of a 1 pound gain. My point is don't focus too much on the number. and rather look for a trend. Keep pushing !

  • Hi guys ! Today is my day 5 of my modified Inferno Plan and... I woke up with a rumbling stomach today :laugh: But just so that it doesn't scare anyone, I haven't been starving at all these last days. It's the first time I stick this long to a very low calories diet and so I honestly spent quite a bit of time day-dreaming…

  • Can too much protein make fat? Yes, too much of anything will eventually turn into fat... with the only exception being water ;) I would personnaly not go behond 30% of protein, since I would be affraid to be missing on a lot of essential stuff only fruits, veggies and legumes can give you.

  • Like you, I always wanted to run, but every time I tried I found myself feeling miserable and thought running and me were just not compatible. I gave it a new try this year after I came accross a free guide from New Balance, for beginners. The guide contains a schedule where you go really progressively so your body has…

  • I can't eat anything solid closer to 1.5 hours from a run or I'll get those nasty side cramps. Since you run early morning, unless you feel like waking uo 2 hours earlier, I'd suggest you drink something, maybe a smoothie or a protein shake. Try to give at least 30 minutes between drinkable food and your run.

My own DVD collection is growing fast :laugh: I'm sticking with Beach Body products though, but probably just because there are so many DVDs to chose from out there, it's easier to pick from a single source.

  • Raphi do you just do the cardio workout, or do you do the complete Turbo Jam schedule ? If you include Turbo Sculpt and Ab Jam 2-3 times a week, you get a pretty good toning. I got a 6 pack doing Turbo Jam and went from 32% body fat down to about 22% in 100 days without even counting calories. But it took 100 days to see…

  • I read about possible water intake during meal causing bloating. Since you pay attention to what you eat and had to go to restaurant, is it possible you've been drinking quite a faire amount of water WITH your meal ? That could be causing the bloating since it dilutes the stomach acids that are required for proper…
