  • Don't get discouraged!! There are always points in a weight loss journey where you don't lose pounds BUT you begin to lose inches and clothes begin to fit looser.

  • Salt can make a huge difference. The daily recomended intake is 2000mg and I do not use salt at all anymore and just naturally end up with a daily intake of 2000-2200mg from the foods I consume in my diary. I would say that the average person out there is consuming 4-6 times the daily recommended amount and don't realize…

  • I would suggest you add some protein shakes to your daily intake. A man should take in 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. I would suggest a Casein protein before you go to bed especially if you are working out. You need the protein for your muscles to heal overnight and so you body attacks the fat deposits…

  • Protein intake during weight loss is very important!! It keeps your body from attacking your muscle mass so that it goes for the fat deposits instead. a rule of thumb for men is to intake 1 gram of protein per every pound of body weight per day. For example, a 200lb. man should take in 200 grams of protein per day.

  • I would definitely recommend drinking between 64-80 ounces of water per day, but also watch you sodium intake because your body will hold on to it if you don't. Most people are dehydrated and don't know it because they don't drink enough water. Good luck!!

  • I would just double the number of sets. Example, 3 left and 3 right equals 6 sets.
