I AGREE!! haha.. like the media trick they say to everyone about candy! the fancy packaging now has this bright yellow stamp! "FAT FREE" haha candy has always been fat free.. it's loaded with sugar. Fat is not evil :) TOO much is evil, and TOO much of anything is bad. a serving size of anything should be the size of your…

I agree with the Granola Bar... As well as the dessert.. and no sugar added means there's still sugar in there, but they just haven't added any extra... um. Your cereal is HUGE on sugar.. add me as a friend let me se you daily food diary :) I'm in nutrition.. and have taken many personal training courses. I can help a…

in some circumstances yes.. but try not to have them on a regular basis... I don't weight train as much anymore as I'm spuer busy getting ready for a horseback riding competition... You still need to eat regualr food.. It's a quick fix... something if you don't have the time. but don't make it a habbit all the time.. you…

have you chagned your food/workout plan recently? the body adapts to thing after about 4-5 weeks of the samething over and over again... thus slowing down weight losss.. orr when you have more weight, the easier it is to loose.. I always compare myself to the people that i see loosing like 4 - 5lbs a week, and get…

On weight training days, I have a protein shake before and after. Pre shake has 5g's of BCAA's and 5g's of L-Glutamine. Post workout the shake has 5g's o BCAA's and 10g's of L-Glutamine. On cardio day's I'll have a meal with carbs proior to cardio session and then a protein shake with 5g's of L-Glutamine. Make sure that…

will not eat the calories i work off... weight loss = calories burned - calories eaten... you always want to burn off more calories than you consume...

Try some crystal light :) it'll help with getting used to water, or changing the type of water you drink; for example.. aquafine to fiji water :) etc. but Disani I know for a fact is not the best bottled water to drink. right on the ingredients of the water is SALT. not just sodium... be careful.

Weigh in today: Starting weight - 172lbs Current weight - 170lbs Christmas weight - 142lbs Yay down two pounds :D

8 glasses a day to me is the bear minimum that someone should be drinking. i personaly drink 4-5 liters a day, which is equal to about 12 - 14 glasses. I find this helps to flush the system on anything that is not supposed to be there, and a lot of people have been known to mistake hunger for thirst.. they will eat…

I second the greek yogurt.. it's better than regular yogurt and if you're not one to have enough protein with breakfast it's a great alternative. Opt for the natural/plain flavours thought, the ones that have fruit on the bottom on loaded with sugars and carbs.. (20g's) and if you're trying to stay away from the carbs then…

I don't like all the extra ingredients that are packed in them. For example in the Glazed Chicken... COOKED CHICKEN TENDERLOINS (CHICKEN TENDERLOINS, **HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP**, WATER, **CORN OIL**, **MODIFIED CORNSTARCH**, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATES, **SALT**, CARAMEL COLOR, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, GARLIC,…

calories are not the issues with alcohol. it's the sugar in most spirits.. and the carbohydrates in beer... spiking your glycemic index will cause you to crave sugars for longer periods of time after. cutting alcohol completely out of a diet is the best way to go until you've reached your fitness goals..

i'm hypothyroid as well :) only 21.. put on about 30lbs in the last 6 months and went into sever depression... doctor blamed it on birth control and me having an eating disorder when I was younger... i'm currently on 50mg of levothyroxine and 10mg of liothyronine sodium.

this is me in a nutshell.. i eat so much some days that I swear I can't bend over.. worst day ever way the day my ex and i broke up... and then my friend passed away 2 days later... I went to A&W - 2 teen burgers, large fries, onion rings and a large rootbeer milkshake McDonalds - bigmac, chicken nuggets, fries, 2 apple…

1 - 1.5 of your ideal body weight. not the current weight if your looking to loose. the protein is to preserve the muscles that you want to keep and recharge them :)

not entirely true. if you had 400 calories worth of candy versus 400 calories worth of vegetables it's completely different calories. To me calories are bull$*&%. It's what the calories are made up of and what TYPE of calories your putting in your body.

Whole wheat flour is a powdery substance derived by grinding or mashing the wheat's whole grain. It is used in baking but typically added to other "white" flours to give nutrition, texture, fiber, and body to the finished product. Usually, whole wheat flour is not the main ingredients of baked goods, as it adds a certain…

I'm going to add to myown post and say... RED VELVET CAKE... CHEESECAKE... and ICE CREAM UGH! AND not to mention they have put coldstone creamery IN tim hortons now.. so i'm pretty much F#$%$% if I go to binge on doughnuts.. haha

every diet "product" will work unless you don't follow a proper diet and nutrition plan.. but some don't work well with people's bodies... I prefer a very simple and plain E.C.A stack.. (FYI If you don't know it's, ephedrine, caffine and asprin) I've tried "ripped freak", "Lipo-6", "RX-6", "Hydroxycut", "Rapid Cuts" Etc..…

my vitamins are USANA vitamins - there specifically labeled with EXACT conent in them, unlike a "One a day" or "multivitamin" I take; -mega antioxident -multi-mineral -procossa (joints) -proflavonal (immunity) -poly c (Vitamin c) -Bio-Mega (omega 3) -vitamin d -chromium -vitamin b complex -vitamin b12 liquid as well as I…

Popeye's Supplements has a powder that tastes like blueberries - called veggies greens... it's an entire days worth of the nutrients from vegetables (but you should still eat veggies :) Just saying

Raw peanuts would be good for you (probably better than peanut butter) as peanut butter has a high amount of sugars. 1tbsp a day is ususally all that will give you health benefits (well this is for me and i'm 5'7" and 170lbs) opt for things like almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts. GREAT for you! :)

Always had an addiction with the scale, my ex boyfriend and trainer were going to hide it from me and not let me see if for a good few months... but he's now my ex and my trainer want it to go to the ex's house so I got to keep it :P haha. I am an ex - anorexic, but still have some anorexic tendencies.. like counting food,…

whether it's a fad or not, HCG is hard to begin with if you have a normal lifestyle. 1. they recommend that you use no products with oils or fats in them.. (book says not to wear makeup, apply lotion, can't use certain toothpastes or wear deodorant.. eww.) 2. it's just something that's not right.. men should not be taking…
