Step or lay on the band or hook it/wrap it around something else. You may be pulling a different direction (for example, during a chest fly, the resistance would be going up, instead of down, if you are laying over the band), but you should get basically the same workout.

That's not spaghetti. That's black beans made to look like spaghetti. Also, black beans aren't paleo.

Healthiest: eggs, almond butter, milk, yogurt, grapes, there are usually strawberries in there as well, but not right now, just ran out Unhealthiest: half a Subway spicy Italian sandwich, Snickers ice cream bars, Hawaiian Punch

Yes. Another reason it wasn't sustainable for me.

You could get a set of resistance bands to bring with you. They weigh almost nothing. I'm thinking through 30 Day Shred and I can't really think of any exercise that you can't replace the weights with bands. I imagine most videos you could do the same, though you might have to get a little creative here and there.

I would be interested if it weren't so expensive. Our local Crossfit gym was running a holiday special for the bargain price of $250 for three months. I don't even want to know what full price is.

I'm on Level 1 Day 5 today! Once I finish, I'm starting up 30 Day Slim Down.

I tried it, but found it was too restrictive. If you can do it, awesome, but you have to be really committed to it and it's a lifetime thing, not a quick fix.

Where do you even get lard? The closest my grocery store gets is Crisco vegetable crap.

pasta or rice? Pasta waffle or french toast? French toast mashed potato or french fries? French fries strawberries or cherries? Strawberries snickers or Twix? Twix apple or banana? Banana coffee or tea? Coffee asparagus or spinach? Asparagus, but only marginally peanut butter or caramel? Caramel

Weight gain and weight loss is a calories in, calories out equation. There is not a single item that will make you gain weight if you are in a calorie deficit, just like there is not a single item that will make you lose weight if you are in a calorie surplus. Protein shakes are great for getting in extra protein. Unless I…

Despite what the two above me said, you do not actually need a ton of carbs to function. That said, my previous macro ratio was 50/25/25 f/p/c and I found I was getting really dizzy and shaky after working out (half an hour running/walking and half an hour on 30 Day Shred). I bumped my ratios to 40/30/30 f/p/c and I…

Ugh! Turkey bacon! Such an abomination!

Seriously, I have never had one of those faux recipes turn out. The zucchini pasta came close, but it still wasnt close enough.

I'm not weighing myself until I finish 30 Day Shred. Then I'll go another 30 days with 30 Day Slim Down. Then another 30 with 30 Day Slim Down...Some More. A weight loss would be great, but I'm more interested in toning up at this point than I am the number on the scale.

Eat them. They're the things that give eggs flavor and they are a nutritional powerhouse.

I don't know because I don't track it, but I think I'll start adding a note to my diary to see if it matches up in five weeks.

That's the thing though, your "opinion" is based on shoddy logic. If you wanted an accurate measure of calories burned, you should have purchased an HRM, not a pedometer. The fact that you then blame the pedometer for not being an HRM is completely illogical. Review the item for what it is, not what it isn't.

I'm 5'0 Starting weight was 160 Current weight is 130 Goal weight is 110

I hate reviews like this. That's like saying Magic Kingdom is a disappointment and a hinderance because you don't like the plants they used along the paths, but the rides and the food and the layout and the employees are great. You seem to love the primary function of the device (tracking movement). The calorie thing is…

My lunches are all over the place. Some weeks I will have a sandwich every single day. Other weeks I will make grilled chicken or do a stir fry. Some weeks are soup weeks. This week is going to be a soup week. I'm either going to be making chili for the week or chicken noodle soup. Probably chili.

I usually eat two eggs (usually either basted or scrambled), two pieces of meat (bacon or sausage), and full fat Greek yogurt with a bit of fruit and Truvia.

I wear zero drop shoes (just got my first pair of barefoots yesterday) and I land on the ball of my foot (the ball, not the toes).

The oils are blended in, not just melted, so the final product is very similar to a latte.

Usually just two eggs either basted, scrambled, or poached with just salt and coarse pepper. If I'm feeling extra adventurous, I'll make an omelette with ham, mushrooms, fresh spinach, and some sort of white cheese (havarti is delicious).

Yes, please.

That does not sound tasty. Also: "7Drink the shake immediately. The nutrient content is higher when the ingredients are fresh. Your shake should contain between 30 and 50 g of protein." I'm not going to say this isn't correct because I've never researched it, but, what? Parts of the shake don't just up and walk away so how…

About the only way to track net carbs, that I'm aware of, is to track fiber as well and do the math.

I'm not super low carb. My macro split is 50/25/25 fat/protein/carbs. That gives me 100g total for carbs (if I eat all the way up to my high end for calories), but I usually don't go over 20% of my calories from carbs (my fat usually hovers around 60%). It works well for me, but I know that's higher on carbs than what many…

The "guinea pig" made me smile. Apparently I've lost as much weight as an American averages in cheese a year. If I get to goal, it will be a small bale of hay which seems very anti-climactic.
