Run. Burpees, chinups, pushups, hindu squats, lunges and run some more. I also do lots of monkey bars for grip and hand strength. Incorporate sprints & hill sprints in your running as well.

So funny that people comment that peanuts are not nuts and then recommend almonds, which are also not nuts, lol. Peanuts and almonds both have nutrition benefits, one is a legume, the other is a seed.

I don't eat anything in the morning save a cup of black coffee. Wake up at 5:00 AM and break my fast between 12:00 and 2:00 PM. The whole "must eat as soon as you wake" mantra is BS.

My only lower body workout has been running. My legs are muscular from it. Muscles can also hold a lot of water and glycogen that can attribute some weight gain. Don't stop running. Just give it time. The catabolic effects of running are more indicative of longer distances. Look at a marathon runners body then at a…

Mine is open. I am pretty high on the protein side especially with they whey I have been adding in recently but I am recomping nicely. :)

Losing weight is about diet. Cardio is good for you and will aid in weight loss but I can run at high intensity for over an hour a day seven days a week and maintain my weight by simply eating enough calories to fuel what i burn.

I pack a piece of salmon or lean chicken breast, steamed broccoli, portioned almonds, a bag of edamame, blueberries, sugar snap peas, baby carrots, cucumber slices etc., a blender bottle with protein powder, yogurt, apples, peaches. Really, just about anything who would use as healthy staples at home can be placed in a…

I fast 16 hours every day with an 8 hour feeding window between 2 and 10pm. It has been doing wonders for body composition for me. Your mileage may vary. :)

Barely worth calculating. Has like 6 calories per cup ... :)

The scale is a tool but not the only one. A tape measure can also be great to track progress. You are likely building some muscle tissue right now that is offsetting any fat weight lost but will not continue for long. Muscle gains come quick and easy for a short time and then fall off dramatically which will cause you to…

Important to get enough energy and nutrients. Too low of calories will actually hinder healthy weight loss and energy levels. I recommend erring on the higher side and gauging results by the mirror/clothing fit and scale over a couple weeks. If you are not getting the desired results decrease cals slightly or increase…

Sent you a request. Longest run is 12 miles and that's about as far as I ever really want to go. Prefer the physique of a sprinter over marathon runner. Was running an average of 35 miles a week off road on dirt trails before injuring my ankle. Signed up to do a Tough Mudder event in September so hoping to be healed before…

Gimmicks are, well ... gimmickey! Slight calorie restriction with good diet of lean proteins, healthy fats and limited grains along with some moderate exercise as a lifestyle will yield a healthy and aesthetically pleasing body.

i yield good result on body composition with 40-50% protein, 35% healthy fats and the rest carbs. I do however limit breads, pastas and sweets to a couple meals a week.

I'm in!
