The tingling sensation is due to the Beta-Alanine in these products. It's pretty common in pre-workout boosters. I've read that the sensation gets less intense in time.

Hi, I maintain a list of over 200 pre-workout boosters on my blog. It might help you find something new. I've tried C4 before, but my current favorite is N.O.-Xplode http://foodfastfit.com/top-10-pre-workout-supplements/

Hi. To drop some fat, I'll add 30 mins of cardio 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Hello! I created a browser extension that adds a pie chart to the (website) food diary. It works on both Mac and PC and is available for free in the Chrome Web Store. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/myfitnesspal-x-foodfastfi/pjhcgkchlaggpkjioockflccjfkmnccn With your feedback, I'd love to make it a better tool.…

Hi. I just made a small change to explicitly set the 4-digit year. This should help Excel correctly infer the date. Please let me know if this works for you. Thanks. http://foodfastfit.com/myfitnesspal-x-foodfastfit/

Hi. I wrote a tool to export the reports data as .csv files for use in Excel or similar programs. No fancy graphs, but it should work on both Mac and PCs. I just finished writing it a few hours ago, so with your feedback, I'd love to make it a better tool. Thanks! http://foodfastfit.com/myfitnesspal-x-foodfastfit/

Like. Thank you! Bump.

He looks like he can bench a lot more than 200. How are you cutting fat?

The caffeine content of 1 scoop of NO Xplode is 225mg. Hyper FX contains 270mg. A can of Red Bull has 80mg. The effects of caffeine become less effective after prolonged use which is why BSN recommends cycling off the product after 12 weeks of use for 4 weeks.

Hi, to drop some fat, I do an additional 30 minutes of cardio 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It seems to do the trick. My water weight fluctuates around 10lbs during the day, so I don't use the scale to gauge fat loss. If I notice a little pudge, I'll do the extra 30 minutes. Hope it helps :)

Logging became such an ordeal that I now eat the same meals 5 days/week

Another thing you can try is 30 minutes of light cardio upon waking before any meals. This small addition to my daily routine seems to melt the fat off.

Thanks for the links! I enjoyed watching the videos. I also have a love hate relationship with sugar :/

Me. Logging body fat percentage in addition to weight when I check-in.

Found a link to the documentary: http://documentaryheaven.com/eat-fast-and-live-longer/

I'm also a 5:2 dieter after reading "The FastDiet" by Dr. Michael Mosley. I find 5:2 easier to follow than daily calorie restriction.

If you're a low carber, then you'll be fine eating fewer meals. However, if you're not tracking your carbs, then dividing up your daily intake into many smaller meals will help to keep your blood sugar from spiking and also your energy level and mood stable.

No, you shouldn't care. Be smart about your workout. Once you're doing it, it will be obvious you had nothing to worry about.

I agree with cutting first and bulking later. I don't like carrying around too much excess.

I'll be dropping some fat next week also. 500 calories below maintenance and 1g protein per pound of body weight. I'll aim to lift at least as heavy as I usually do. I might also do 30 minutes of cardio after lifting to help hurry the process along.

I love 5:2!!! I also combine it with 16/8 and low-carb it.

Search for "cat vomit abs" on youtube. I find it helps pull everything in. Every little bit helps?

I love the ready-to-go food from Whole Foods. I'll also eat burgers without the bun.

Sorry, I missed your question. I do aim for good fats like olive oil and almonds. I've heard good things about coconut oil and might try incorporating that also. However, for fat loss, I don't think the type of fat matters. I've experimented with butter and heavy whipping cream and still got the same results. I love…

For the long haul, my goal is to pack on muscle. So, I always try to get in 1g of protein per lb of body weight. I also try to keep my body fat % in the "athletic" range. If I'm feeling a bit pudgy, I will go on a low carb diet and aim for a 500 calorie daily deficit. So, with constant protein calories and low carb…

The only time I ever intake less than 600 calories per day is during a fast day when I'm on the 5:2 diet.

For fat loss I aim for a 500 calorie deficit. 10% carbs, 30% protein and 60% fat. I also inconsistently hurry it along by doing 30 minutes of low intensity cardio upon waking. I also tried to maintain strength with weight lifting. This routine took me from 13% to 10% body fat in about 6 weeks.

Hi. I'm a low-carber, but am thinking of slow-carbing to amp up my weight lifting.

Omlettes are quick and easy with a lot of variety. Ill get the Colorado omelette at ihop when I'm lazy. But you'll be surrounded by pancakes :/

I had to slowly cut back my carbs. Carbs gave me an uncontrollable craving for more carbs. Another thing that helped was not eating out of the bag.
