A loaf of buttery bread :-P just kidding

Its not a book but i read mens fitness and mens health.

Congrats on losing 60+ lbs, but there is a point where everything that you are eating counts. As for people that have a higher BF% it doesnt matter as much but for those of use that dont or those of use that have single digit BF it does and there isnt anyone person that is the same. This was in no way directed at you just…

I think that it might have been worded wrong but i dont think that the OP was perpetuating carb-phobia just the a fact that consuming excessive amounts of carbs can have a negitive effect on forward progress towards someones goal. I do think that your last statment though is accurate. Most of the gerenal populous dont need…

PRECISELY why I despise threads like this one. <--- If you despise threads like this one why in the world would you keep coming back in and posting? MAKES NO Sence lol Just throwing that out there

Best adivce to give someone on here is go try it and if you dont get results then try something else. JUST BE CAREFUL with what you do and listen to your body.

I like to run alone that way i can run at my own pace and there isnt anyone holding me back, and if its a nice day I would deff take that as a sign that would should run either further or fastest then you have been. :) lol

typically you can eat any time of the day or night sometimes i wake up at 1am and drink a protien shake because im hungry. You body still burns cals whille your sleeping. So the best advice to help keep yourself out of the kitchen is stay busy until right before bed and if you cant do that I would select a PM snack…

Your body needs recovery to grow and repair itself, I wouldnt just stop atleast do a little bit of cardio at a little slower pace and make sure you streach it will help with the soreness. Streaching helps release latic acid that is built up in your muscles that is whats causing the soreness.

Yup it depends on your activity level there is no right or set amount but your body will tell you when its hydrated by the color of your urine it will be almost clear if not clear. I consume about 1gal a day.

If you are qutoeing my post please reread my post becuase the statment you posted is correct but the statment that I posted is also correct. Please everyone follow the link and read carefully for a good source of info on carbs. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/carbohydrates-full-story/ Most…

depends on the butter and what its made of? Generaly speaking people think of carbs as starchy food i.e. breads,pastas, grains and rice, but those are just complex carbs which are slow digesting and should be used in moderation for sustained energy levels. There is also simple carbs known as sugars and are digested very…

This is TRUE it will keep your body fat or from burning fat. That is why i think that everyone should have to take a class on what the food groups do for your body and how it uses them.

Depends on what you are trying to use it in, i have tried the 50/50 in like muffins and it all sank to the bottom and burnt lol then they didnt taste like anything at all.

http://faculty.washington.edu/crowther/Misc/RBC/protein.shtml here is a good site that will give you more info. Myself I am a triathlete so i run, bike, and swim many miles a week and every nutritionists I have seen or talked to while training has always said that as long as I stay with in 1.5grams per pound of body weight…

A huge plus if you guys do have kids and he is going active duty then they are free wont cost you a dime in a military hospital :)

I go on one run or cycling for a 1 1/2 hrs and burn 1100 calories and im very in shape it has to do what the activities you do and the rate you are doing them. I have a very hard time hitting my caloric intake on those days which is about 3 days a week I set myself at 1700 so a total of 2800 calories if i ate everything i…

Good info above. I can add also the process of starvation mode if you would like to see. The process. The body uses glucose as its main metabolic fuel if it is available. About 20% of the total energy consumption occurs in the brain. The rest of the glucose consumption fuels muscle tissue and red blood cells. Glucose can…

Depending on how long you have been on your current diet one day shouldnt hurt it that much and might acutally help shock your system, the best thing you can do IMO is just pick right back up where you left off on your diet avoid frispy kreme at all cost.

I would reccomend as of right now i wouldnt drink protien because you are hitting your goal, but if you do find yourself where you cant stop and grab lunch or a snack a protien shake would be much better to consume then not eating at all. Just a suggestion i do this from time to time. Watch the sugars in some of the shakes…

^ this is good advice, also you should eat back only 50% of what you burned though not all of it.

It is bad advice because you are advising on bad habits and congrats on losing 132lbs! To get your body to use food correctly you must feed if correctly other wise you will be stuck. Just because you went from a size 26 to a size 9 doesnt mean that it will work for this poster so if you carfully read what i posted stating…

This is horriable advice!!!! all food dont equal another you cant just consume 1200 cals a day and expect to lose weight unless you are way over weight especially if you are hitting a plateau.

There is some issues with this diet and it seems like tons of carbs also there is 2 kinds of carbs complex and simple. Normally you find simple carbs in refined sugars and arnt good for you but you do also find them in fruit which actaully is good for you but if you load up on fruits they convert to carbs. Milks and…

If we can see your diary we can offer some assistance. :)

Many people get this because MOST AMERICANS now days are over weight <--- thank you McDONALDS, AND BK

How did you calculate your BF%? The avg for female BF% is 20-24%

Congrats on deciding to lose 20lbs!! I think babriex3 is 100% right in saying that its a different journey for people that have say 20lbs to lose and somone that has 50+lbs to lose because its a matter of changing a lifesytle the more weight you have to lose and thus forth people think they have accomplished more, but when…

Being in the Army for 11years now I would say that its a great decision on his part but you both need to be in agreement and understand that is going to be some tough times especially with deployments but for me all the benefits out weigh the downfalls. I am currently finishing up my BS in computer science and havent paid…

This is the exact advice that nobody should follow because if you eat healthy for 6 out of 7 days a week then the last day you consume a ton of processed food and that will push you over your limit you just ruined a totally good week !! I have no idea where everyone gets all these crazy ideas but the easiest thing to do…
