definitely. I've read if your at 80-100% of your vo2 max which is your heart rate- @21 yrs old 136 is the avg 80% vo2 max, for 40 yr olds its around 160 i believe. This is the heart rate you need to promote a significant metabolism boost! I check mine wiht the machine at the gym, google your age gr oups vo2 max and find…

Reset? you mean increase?.. theres a lot of things you can use to increase metabolism. smaller meals throughout day, green tea, caffeine in general, cayenne, ACV, fish oil, harder workout! HIIT! heavier lifts at the gym

no oats allowed tho.. ftw? thats crazy talk, given that exception I'd love to go paleo but I cant give up my oatmeal. nope!
-
yup! green tea extract caps are natural, safe, full of antioxidants, boost metabolism & not too expensive, & even better with real green tea on top of it- its tested & proven to help people lose weight; its #1 for health imo... also, cayenne pepper in your food is thermogenic & helps a bit too, Apple cider vinegar is…

Trader Joes- "just clusters" pecan granola cereal! Its the first granola I found without "soy oil" or any rolled "wheat" products... Just rolled oats! I love it!
-
Yes! :) protein!! no better substitute for carbs than protein. Why not eat more chicken breast? it digests slow, is lean, and keeps you full longer than carbs. You'll end up eating less cals overall, be more thermogenic and burn more fat!
-
Its true more nutrient dense foods, like veggies, usually have more fiber than less nutritious carbs- ie refined flours, which the fiber legitimately fill you up
-
you have to take into account so many other factors like the glycemic index of the carb your eating, the fiber, vitamins & antioxidants, the phytonutrients it provides, and its effect on your hormal level, albeit these are small factors and based on how often you eat chocolate vs spinach they make a difference in how you…

A good low cal snack is yogurt with fruit! almost everyday I go with: half green organic apple serving of Fage greek yogurt (23g protein!!- 130 cals) raspberries/blueberries dash of raw old fashion oats its only around 200 cals, super bomb, and the slow digesting casein in yogurt keeps you full for hours!
-
Yea I've read studies that say if you're drinking it to burn fat you need 6+ for any significant effects, thats why I go with a green tea extract pill from bodybuilding.com, i got it super cheap for like $8 for 100 caps. I also drink green tea cups with it all day for max effect. search green tea on bodybuilding.com n the…

oh yea i love knowing exactly what im eating, makes counting cals much more accurate n fun

turkey breast or chicken breast and 100% whole wheat bread for sandwiches and I know jennie-o has some decently healthy hot dogs if u wanna roast sumin:) also look for some healthy trail mix (organic or anything w/o hydrogenated oils cuz alot have them) nuts like almonds, macadamia etc skip the m&m's, and bring some string…

If I were you I'd: a. change my workout (cardio or weight)- more reps, more often, or more weight, maybe try HIIT b. change my macros- exchange some carbs for protein (but i wouldn't suggest raising fat over 33%) c. change my actual foods i eat- instant oatmeal to steel cut, whey powder to soy powder, cut out more…

protein is the first thing u need when u wake up! Egg whites+ spinach or a whey shake w almond milk, ice, and instant coffee usually does it for me :)
-
Senior @ USD feel free to add me :)

protein is the most important after 8 hours of fasting. I do a whey shake w ice & coffee, or egg whites w spinach to get me up and goin
-
it could be a lifting injury if you lifted too heavy w/o stretching, i kno beta-alanine can do that too but never had that heppen to me in keto, id see a doc
-
strength training burns a lot more calories than just cardio alone, theres ways to get it done quickly though. Have you heard of low carb, high fat, ketogenic diets? theyre great for dropping alot of weight- and you can do it eating great food too :) lost 20 lbs this summer doin it

On keto you dont retain any water so taking in extra sodium makes sense since its a vital mineral and its absorption would be hindered due to that. A glass of water at each meal would definitely help you out, also since your sweating a lot at every workout and the RDAs are made for inactive couch potatoes, I'd definitely…
-
I LOVE QUEST BARS! theyre so good, some have really balanced macros and all barely have any ingredients- mostly natural stuff! Coconut Cashew tastes like an almond joy, ima go eat one now :)
-
Ive been looking into this for so long and can never find a straight answer! Today, I did green tea and 12.5 g egg protein w moderate cardio fro 45 min... i dont think i used up too much muscle- heres an interesting post i saw the other day: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=537268&page=1

Green tea extract/6 cups + HIIT + 100 crunches a day & ur set

Get adequate protein (between 2-2.3 grams per kg bodyweight) and try to get a serving of vegetables (broccoli, spinach are great if your lifting), and if you have extra fat cals macadamia nuts and olive oil are awesome to fill the gaps. I did keto , ckd, tkd, and now im back to a more balanced 40c/30p/30f macros. Keto…
-
no way! depends what ur looking for.. macadamia nuts are great on keto but too many on a regular diet and youll blow up like a pufferfish. there are a lot of good ones tho, pistachios, cashews, brazil, almonds n macadamia r my favs
