  • If you have just eaten and are sure you are not actually hungry, try water. Not because it is a diet trick. Thirst can manifest itself as hunger. We get a lot of water from the foods that we eat, so if you are thirsty your body may signal to you to eat more. A more water filled snack may work for you, or have your snack…
  • It used to be a 6" sub from subway. Not anymore. The amount of sodium in every one of their breads is way too high for a kidney stone sufferer. So if I have to hit subway it is usually a salad with their weird looking chicken breast. I started getting a sushi roll to go, no soy sauce. I'm not a fan of raw fish, but it is…
  • Sorry, but that guy doesn't know what he is talking about. Egg whites won't bulk you up. For females it takes years of training with heavy weights, specific diets, and usually some form of supplementation. Egg whites are a good source of protein, something many women lack with changing their diets. They will keep you…
  • I always use dumbbells for stiff leg deadlifts. You have to ensure your form is great, arms are even with no wobbling, it adds a new feel to the exercise. It may not work as well for other forms, but there are ways around everything. Experiment in the privacy of your home with your form and something in each hand to see of…

  • Wow, I just have to say that person should really keep their advice to themselves. I am not a trainer (currently working on it though), but I know he is incorrect. Weight training is very individual, what works for one person may not work for another. If you belong to a gym see if you can get a free consult with a trainer.…
  • No they will not. They can change the look of your chest, and give you a more perky look. But it does not affect your breast tissue in any way. The breasts are supported by the Coopers ligament. If that is stretched do to lack of support it will cause the surrounding breast tissue to sag. Nothing can repair that other than…
