Another good reason to use coconut oil is because it has such a high tolerance to heat. Olive oil and a lot of other unsaturated fats become oxidized at pretty low temperatures which can cause all sorts of health problems when consumed, especially if you were doing this everyday!

STEVIA!

One reason you might not be losing any weight could be from having low gut flora. All the antibiotics you've been taking having probably been killing all the good bacteria you have in your body as well and its especially important for you digestive health that you 'recolonize' them. The good bacteria in your body is…

Have you ever tried taking a scoop of Jack3d? It will make you feel like an animal... sometimes you might even start thinking that you could easily throw cars around the parking lot!! I'm prone to anxiety, especially in public places!! I just always keep in mind that everyone else is probably worried about what they're…

Thats probably to ensure that the probiotics get to where they're going alive. I'd say wait about an hour, maybe a little more. That should give you enough time so the probiotics don't get murdered by hot water!!

Eating too much protein won't cause it to turn into fat. You really just want to eat enough protein to keep your body anabolic throughout the day... so depending on your weight, goals, and level of exercise, you'd want to eat a complete protein every 3 or 4 hours!! Once you start going over 300 grams a day, you're kidneys…

Your muscles absolutely need a break. If you're working out bigger muscle groups, like you back, chest, biceps etc... they usually need atleast two days, three would be good. If your really sore, especially from starting a new workout routine, you want to make sure that you're getting your protein post workout along with…

I am on Welbutrin right now. What I've noticed is that my appetite is lower, so I could see where I could not eat as much. What is stopping me from doing that is the fact that I'm trying to lose only a small amount of body fat and actually gain muscle, which requires me to eat quite a bit of food. I could definitely see…

A few things came to mind when I saw what was going on. I was also wondering how long you have been doing more cardio/running. The initial weight you lost, you said over 20 pounds, sounds like the weight that your body just really really didn't want or need! Suddenly watching your calories and then starting a cardio…

Yeah, if you're going to be doing any type of physical activities during the day, a good way to go would be .75 - 1.00 grams of protein per pound of body weight!! As long as you're not going over 300 grams of protein a day, you should be fine though. After that, your body really cant handle it!!

HAHA... I need help going to sleep mode.... faster, faster!! Here's some change for a cab ride!

EGGS!!! I love eggs and I certainly love talking about them too, ha! I eat at least one raw egg every morning! A raw egg!........ My girlfriend is yelling at me to get into the shower, ya know cuz we have class in 30 minutes... but here's a link to a previous post I wrote on eating eggs!! Good luck with your eggs…

I have certainly gone through all sorts of medications for all sorts of mental health reasons. I have not taken Cymbalta but it looks like it achieves a similar neurochemical affect to what I'm taking. I'm not sure if there's anything specific you can do to help with the side affects you're experiencing except to know that…

BEETS!! Beet juice will lower your cholesterol...... and of course RAW EGGS, my favorite!! There are compounds in raw eggs and beet juice that lower your blood pressure!! The only way I think someone can actually get beet juice is from simply eating beets, drinking the juice in the can might not be a great idea, but I…

I don't count the calories of what other people are eating, but I always seem to notice what other people are eating! I also always notice that when I'm in the grocery store, what people have in their carts always reflects very clearly on their weight and their health. It seems so clear what they're doing to themselves…

So you are trying to lose weight, right? I took a look at your food diary, at least for the 11th, and did see some things you might want to change. The first thing is that breakfast is your smallest meal. It should definitely be your biggest!! You'll want a lot of complete proteins like eggs or chicken along with some…

Yeah, nuts are great!! Also, don't forget about some other good fats!! There's fish oil, krill oil and coconut oil!! I like to put a tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil between two pieces of double fiber bread. Right there is about 40 carbs and a bunch of awesome fat your body will use immediately for energy!!

Water is going to be important to drink, whether its cold or hot. If you're going to be able to decide the temperature of your water, the best way to go is room temperature. Cold water can damage the lining of your stomach, slow down your metabolism and shock your body!! Something more important to consider might be where…

..... and with fiber, just make sure you're drinking enough water!! Otherwise things tend to get a little backed up on a high fiber diet!!

It would be pretty hard to have too much protein. I just wouldn't go over 300 grams a day, since that can get hard on your body. The one thing you just wanna make sure is how much sodium and cholesterol you're getting, as mentioned earlier. Also, not all proteins are equal. For instance, eggs, chicken and steak are…

I have a protein shake every morning.... here's what I do: 3 raw organic eggs 1 scoop Inner Armour Nitro Peak 1 cup egg whites 20 grams of AST GL3 Micronized Glutamine ... its pretty good and you don't taste the eggs. The glutamine is really helpful in not being sore, if that's an issue for you. GOOD LUCK!

Yeah, it really doesn't matter too much what time you're exercising. If you're talking about aerobic exercise, you might hear that the best time would be right when you wake up. The idea, I guess, is to force your body to burn stored fat instead of carbs, since you'll be running on an empty stomach. Realistically, the most…

Yeah, at first, eating raw eggs can be a little weird! What I do is get one egg in a glass at a time and just toss it back. After you break the yoke with your tongue, its pretty easy to just get it down there! I always have my chocolate flavored protein shake as a "chaser" which helps too! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.... and eat…

I first heard about eating raw eggs from Dr. Mercola. He is a doctor who practices out of Chicago and focuses mainly on alternative medicine. He has a newsletter and a website, that I would both highly recommend you check out, at mercola.com. Anyways, he's also a big proponent of raw eggs and in one of these newsletters he…
