I feel I have to point out that these teas are drunk by about 5% of Brits. What we drink millions of cups a day of are things like Yorkshire Tea, Typhoo, Tetley or PG Tips. :)

I used to, as a transition from Pepsi to water. Now I just drink still.

I do prefer an HRM but it's nowhere near as convenient. I wear my HRM just for my elliptical sessions.

It's free.

Next Saturday

I've had the One (lost during a car accident) and now have the Flex. I think the One was better as it could measure you going up stairs, where as the Flex can't. But the Flex is more convenient and wearable.

Done! http://www.fitbit.com/user/254XN8

Qualify it how? You mean fat or muscle? If you're not weight training then it's likely you're losing 50% fat and 50% muscle. If you are you can mitigate how much muscle you're losing.

Congratulations!! Very well done.

That's it in a nutshell. Eat less that you burn. You can't target where you lose it from though.

Use half a scoop?

As long as you're healthy, I only care about what's between your ears.

Most impressive! You look fabulous!

Just be careful as low carb usually means high fat (your body needs one or the other for energy). It's easy to eat a lot of calories from fat without realising if you're not counting.

The big water weight loss from low carbs is only in the first few days. Then it's just like any other diet. and when you say "fat" loss I should point out that it's likely to be 50% fat / 50% muscle unless you weight train and eat plenty of protein. I lost an average of 2.5 pounds a week for 8 weeks on low carb. I…

totally.

yes.

Only if you want to. I can't think of any other reason. For instance, if you were conservative originally but you've stuck really well to the regime and figure you can do it another few months. Maybe then you'd change your goal to a few more pounds lighter?

When you eat and how often you eat is irrelevant. Also when you eat protein (in relation to exercise) is irrelevant. sources : Alan Aragon and Lyle McDonald. Edit : However if it helps you to stick to a routine that way, then go for it!

Start 152 now 132 8 weeks. about 2.5lbs a week, every week. edit: nevermind! Should read properly...

=================================== Calories Burned From Normal Daily Activity 1,700 cal/day Net Calories Consumed* Your Daily Goal 1,200 cal/day Daily Calorie Deficit 500 calories Projected Weight Loss 0.5 kg/week ==================================== MFP has estimated, from the data you gave it, that you burn 1700…

almost always 4 days for me. If I have > 100 carbs on a Sunday, for example, then the weight loss that is hidden by the extra carbs will magically drop off on Thursday morning. This includes 4 days of 500 cal deficits and 1000 calorie burns. They just do nothing for 4 days and then bam. 1 1/2 pounds disappears.

I'm about 2lbs off! :D

you will get lots of opinions on here about that 1200 calorie goal. Find a TDEE calculator on google and enter your data. That will give you how much you can eat in a day and neither lose nor gain weight. under 1200 : not recommended - but some petite women have no choice. 1200-TDEE : lose weight TDEE : maintain weight…

I've been in ketosis for 8 weeks now. I'm losing 2.5lbs a week. Plus I do pretty heavy cardio without a problem. It works well for me. However, even the man that wrote the Ketosis book, Lyle McDonald, says there's NO difference between a low carb diet and a keto diet for fat loss.…

Your body weight in pounds worth of grams of protein. (if you weigh 150lbs eat 150g of protein) as little carbs as you want / can (between 50 and 100g is good) allllllllll the rest as good fat (as little saturated as you can) BTW: I've been in ketosis for over 2 months and I eat between 50-80g of carbs a day. as low as 20g…

Summed up pretty well.

If you think you're eating low enough calories already then the only option left is burning calories. Exercise!

Some let you lift heavier weights. Some give you the energy to train harder. There are lots of reasons. Read the links I posted ^^^ up there.
