Post #2 today I have to find your fallacy in. People can stay on Atkins for life. It's low carb, moderate protein and fat diet. How much better does it get? The only problem with Atkins is it claims you can eat as much protein and fat as you want and not gain weight as long as carbs are low. We know that's not true as…

1) Never heard of this but it's all hemicellulose which is metabolically inert in humans. Nice find! 2) The evils of soy cannot be stressed enough. 3) All sugar 4) Green tea for the win! 5) Processed high GI carbs made worse by MORE soy. If it comes in a box, eat the box, it has more fiber. 6) More processed carbs 7) OK, I…

I never get sick. No shots, no medications, just diet and exercise. People tell me "Oh, when you get older that will change." No it won't, because I'll still be eating right and lifting heavy. Just like my metabolism, right? Whatever. Lymphatic fluid requires movement to circulate through the body and be cleansed in the…

I highly disagree. If he's new to weight training, which it sounds like, then his body has no real construct of true diet and training. He would then qualify as an individual whom I would say has the ability for "recomposition." A process when burning fat does happen simultaneously with hypertrophy because he's never done…

I'm a social deviant and bring tupperwared food. When people look at me I just laugh. Whatever, I look better and that satisfies me just fine. Or just eat before you go out and don't eat what's there. You won't be hungry so you won't feel as tempted to eat a burrito. Oh and alcohol is certainly its own ruin. It is possible…

Yeah they're not going for hypertrophy. And if they are, theyre picking up weights. Runners and bikers are skinny as twigs. Most cardio activity, especially that long of duration, is catabolic.

Ultimately that depends on diet. Hypocaloric = weight loss, hypercaloric = weight gain. So as long as your diet is tailored to a fat loss process then your exercise will promote utilization of stored energy on a deficit. That's fine, just be sure your macros are in check. Not sure about that fluorescent or incandescent…

^Great point! There's so many worse things I could be doing than drinking diet soda. Even then, why would I worry when my diet and exercise are vastly better than the average American? Example from last week: My friend "Oh my god, don't you know how bad that diet soda is for you?" Me "Not as bad as you being 20lbs…

Light weight is still exercise but hypertrophy (the process of building muscle) is best stimulated through resistance training to a fail point. Fail point being where you physically cannot perform the last rep. With that being said, a 10-15 rep range is sufficient to avoid injury but feel it out on what you can manage. 4-6…

Great point. Although I think the overall objective it to come up with ways to lower daily carbohydrate intake which is always a plus.

Bingooooooo

Second nyxrun's suggestions. I hate cardio - resistance training is more effective anyway. Start with isometrics or household objects for additional weight - when you get the hang out it check out craigslist/walmart/eBay and try to find some small weights being sold cheap that fit your needs. Of course it's gonna be tough…

That's not what was stated. Keep reading. And potatoes don't make you fat they just contribute to heart disease. Frequently eating over maintenance makes you gain weight. There's a lot of truth to this but there's also a lot of ranting personal perspectives and unnecessary vulgarity.

Nice! Are they breaded? If so, that defeats the purpose lol. Raw cauliflower grated with diced onion in sesame oil makes "rice." I love eggplant. You can make a nice veggie curried puree with it. All about mashed cauliflower, I make my own pesto sauce and add a tbsp.

The catch 22 of illness: you need to feed the immune system but you can't stomach the food. Take care of our condition and dont worry about the diet right now. Try try try to eat what you can - you need it now. Soups, crackers, ginger ale, whatever you can manage.

This. I'd bet money you don't eat enough.

Big fan of either Progressive Trance (Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, DJ Addison, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren) or the most brutal of metal (After the Burial, Between the Buried and Me, Within the Ruins, Born of Osiris, Periphery). Usually trance for cardio, metal for lifts.

I'm surprised no one mentioned water. Considering the body is 70% water we fluctuate about 5lbs per day just on that. Now throw in fluctuating sodium and carb intake will alter that as well. Also women have this thing called a menstrual cycle that contributes to water weight. Weigh yourself with consistency: Same day,…

Probably because you're eating too low and got used to it. No bueno.

Im all about tight curves. I'd rather have a little weight than a stick figure. Give me something to grab onto.

This.

The amount of formaldehyde is so insignificant that the little tid bit the FDA confirms show to be clinically insignificant. Equal (a/k/a aspartame) breaks down into aspartate and phenylalanine which breaks down further to formaldehyde then formate. The only truthful potential negative side effect is potential…

Two approaches here depending on your style: First off, unless you're entering some kind of physique oriented gig there's no reason to go obsessively "clean" or extreme dieting. Some prefer to just keep a consistent deficit daily that's not too drastic and progressively work on this. It eliminates potential for binge…

Not vegan but I like that chili seasoning combination. I would eliminate the sugar - no need for added simple carbs. I'll keep that in mind for my non-vegan chili.

I dont know about everyone else but when I have a cheat meal its go big or go home. Why the hell am I gonna eat crap fast food? I want a REAL MEAL. Give me a Cuban style Curracho steak with fried plantains and lime garlic butter served with your finest sangria. Or a full rack of ribs, garlic mashed red potatoes in the…

Eventually it will stop. And you will try harder and harder to lose. You decrease your calories thinking you need to eat less or increase activity trying to burn more. When fact of the matter is you've plateaued - you body no longer intends to try and survive on such a defcit. It's basic daily functions take priority and…

BMI isnt a gold standard method like it used to be otherwise I'm overweight year round.

I'm 4 weeks out from a show so my pill box looks like a cancer patient's: Fish Oil (3,000mg) Vitamin C (6,000mg) Acetyl L-Carnitine (1,000mg) Genomyx Gut Health (best probiotic on the market) Applied Nutriceuticals DRIVE (4 in AM, 3 in PM) App Nut Free Test (Test booster) App Nut HGHUp (GH booster) App Nut NeoVar…

Food.

Calorie free? How does that work? is it made of air?
