  • You DO NOT have a good understanding of nutrition if you are, for whatever reason, eating 900-1200 calories. Thats how much an average 10 year old needs. I suggest you actually gain some nutrition knowledge before your body starts shutting down, because it will.
  • I am doing Insanity for the second time and I'm in month 2. The first time was like 2 years ago and I was like you and lost only a little the first month but I didn't lose much more the second month so much as gained muscle and lost inches. I didn't really think I lost anything at first but my before and after pics were…
  • Any dubstep with dirty bass drops are great for intervals if you're running/sprinting or jogging/running. Great build up and then you just go full force when the bass drops :happy: Funny side affect of it though is when I listen to certain songs just walking to the store or something it make me want to run at inappropriate…
  • Your body is going to have to adjust so try giving it a little more time. Also although weight watchers is a great program it is definitely structured differently then calorie counting. With points you have been eating more calories then you think you were and in that case dropping your body to a lower calorie intake may…
  • There are many, many, many ways of getting enough protein without eating meat. It is very possible to get more then enough protein from diet alone. I actually find it amazing that you don't meet your protein requirements. I rarely even see vegan that don't meet their RDA (I'm a dietician/nutritionist), you fall into a VERY…
  • First off there is no such thing as negative calories. So there are two answers to this question. One: being a vegan bar (assuming you are also vegan) 16oz of those ingredients wouldn't make you gain weight. This isn't because it doesn't have calories but because you would have to eat 3500 over your calories to gain…
  • It's better for you then say, gatorade, but it's not great. From the plain to the flavoured they range from 45 - 60 calories, and from 11g - 16g of sugar per 8 oz. The plain one also says "less then 1% natural fruit sugar", which considering there is 11g of sugar in it make it pretty processed for a natural drink. Also it…
  • You really should be able to get all of your vitamins and minerals from your food. Seriously if you eat healthy you really don't need a vitamin supplement let alone two. If you have been told by your doctor to supplement something get whatever you need specifically. It really does take a lot to get into a toxic level but…
  • You should try spending a week, or even a few days, tracking all of your vitamin intake from your food and see what is lacking. Generally, it is very rare that you actually need to supplement any vitamin, there really isn't any reason you should be getting all of them from food. Basically if you eat even 2 meals in a day…
  • My breakfast is the same everyday: 1/2 cup of Special K blueberry on 1 source 35 calorie yogurt 1 egg scrambled with laughing cow cheese 1 apple coffee of course it's filling and I don't get bored with it.... For lunch my super filling go to are these: "grilled cheese" 2 slices of weight watchers bread toasted with 28g fat…
  • I am a year into my nutrition course and I always remember one thing that was given as a statistic in my first class: " over 85% of North America is sufficiently educated enough about nutrition and the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle to stay within a healthy weight their entire lives. Yet obesity rates are over…
  • You should try Special K cracker chips! I also love tortilla chips and salsa so I buy the cheddar flavour cracker chips and dip them in salsa, they're awesome.
  • They're doctors it's their job to help you without judgment. If they do judge you then find another doctor, but chances are they have seen alot worse then you today. Just straight up tell him/her and make sure you them ALL of the information from the last time you dealt with this so they can make the right decision for…
