Oh yeah, I do it all the time. Look at my diary for yesterday. I was supposed to eat under 2250 calories but I had 3500+... It just meant today I wasn't as hungry because I was so full at the end of the day yesterday. If you are craving chocolate, then it's fine to eat it. What you don't want is to wake up at midnight and…

All great points and we are also delving into morality. The claims of the product or salesperson may be false. In fact, it could be a downright lie, ie that raspberry ketones cause weight loss. When we protest against a store selling raspberry ketones this is us making a moral statement, as well as scientific if we reject…

Yes. it is disgusting. In fact, the water I am drinking from this bottle of Evian is essentially recycled water which was sourced from the French Alps. Not really the pure "eau minerale naturelle" water is claims to be. If you want to eat McD, then that's fine. If you don't want to eat McD, then that's fine too. Another…

While I agree with what you are saying, you could say that about almost all companies. Gas, energy, oil companies get a ridiculous profit on most of their 'products'. The same goes for other supplement companies, coffee companies and clothing companies (and in fact, there was an article in the BBC about workers in…

Any update on this thread? Interested in responses.

Best thing to do is to go to your doctor and tell her about the lack of energy, low mood and depression you are having. There is a very high probability that she will identify an underlying problem and help solve it.

In the trash, ie eBay.

Sounds just like myself actually . Sprained my ankle, knee and the right side of my groin two years ago but I wanted to continue running because I thought it was the best way to stay in shape. Two years later and I am still suffering for my mistakes in my ankle. Some people just don't have the bone structure or leg length…

STOP right there. Stop. No. No. No. Assuming: The house is in your name You paid for the house with a loan in your name You have been paying for the house since then He has not been involved in the financial aspect at all He has not made any financial commitment to the house yet And most importantly, the relevant law…

It depends on your level on experience, how good your form is and a few other things. Most good routines call for you to start out with just the bar (20kg) and work your way up each workout or each week. I'm 5'5" and 149lbs and I squat 180lbs for reps, another person who is 5'8" and 180lbs may squat 300lbs, whereas someone…

Great work.

I thought you had a new video of George Bush dancing :(

Bump!

A youtube search will get you some good videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRfxeWZrODQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY31J5BeKrg

Damn son, damn! After looking at your diary, you don't eat much at all. Is there a reason you are on a VLCD or do you just not track everything?

This might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXth0Ab45o0 1st question in the video series :)

I get these sometimes but they aren't as bad as they used to be, In fact, I almost collapsed at work once from caffeine withdrawal. My manager saw me and she was so concerned she sent me home. I do not know if there any studies on the long-term effects of using painkillers like ibuprofen, paracetamol or advil for caffeine…

Don't worry about going over protein, worry about going over your total calorie intake. As long as you are under your total maintenance caloric intake you will lose weight. Read this http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/is-a-calorie-a-calorie.html

Think of it this way: The next time someone accuses a woman of "overreacting" to an advance from a man just remember that when a bunch of old, white and rich men couldn't agree on something they shut down the US government.

The best time to exercise is when you have time, energy and motivation. Your hormonal levels at differing times of the day will not be vary enough to make a significant difference to overall weight loss or weight gain.

Bump!

No way. No way!

There is no hard and fast rule about ideal body fat percentages to start a bulk. In this case, it would be advisable to slowly increase your calories each week by 100-150 until you reach maintenance intake, and then continue that increase until you reach a caloric surplus of 100-300.

If I can ask a related question to OP's, is there a guideline or general rule of when you would recommend someone follow 5/3/1?

I've done this routine in the past. I ran this routine for about 3 and a half months if I recall correctly (Feb-May I think), I'll have a look at training journal. It's a long workout based on the amount of volume, but I was in pretty decent shape at the time in terms of my endurance so I had no problems with the length.…

You have identified both the problem and solution. Problem: You can't sit down to eat a meal at work (but you can have snacks at work). Solution: Figure out why you can't sit down to eat a meal: (What is preventing you from doing so?) Are you self-conscious about what you eat around others? Do your managers not want you to…

What is your main goal? To become stronger or to increase your endurance? Are you trying to lose weight or gain weight? Are you in a caloric deficit or surplus? Focus on one for the time being as they are quite different. Pounding the pavement a few times a week and squatting once or twice a week is bound make you…

This. OP: If you are after quality products but without the big price tags go for BulkPowders. If, however, you still want to pay for the big brands and their overpriced protein then there are plenty of online suppliers of ON and Gaspari, eg monstersupplements and affordablesupplements.
