  • Exactly! Look at the below before and after shot of this trainer in Korea. Same girl, same weight, 5 months after she started training. I know exactly how disheartened you feel, as I myself feel the same when I get on the scale. But when I don't think about the weight so much, I can feel my clothes fitting better, and just…

  • There's no set percentage that works for everyone. Generally I try to take as much whole proteins (all kinds of beans and legumes, nuts, tempeh) as much as possible w/o counting. So much of our diet is carb-heavy anyway. I just try to consume only complex carbs, and for grains, I stick to the protein heavy types like…

  • I think women are more accepting of men's body types than vice versa in general. It also depends on what kind of women. If she's super athletic and fit, she probably doesn't mind some bulk. Fashion conscious types who only do Pilates probably prefer someone slimmer. If she's just in the healthy range but not athletic, she…

  • This sounds tasty/healthy. But don't tell a Korean person that this is "Korean". The biggest culprit being cilantro. Most Korean people cannot stand cilantro, just as most Chinese people dislike perilla leaves. Weird, I know. My American boyfriend makes fusion food and calls it "Korean" and I find the attempt cute, and…

  • I have the same concerns as OP, and from what I assume, similar type of diet. Because lately I've been trying to "cut", I've been limiting rice and pasta to twice a week, trying to stay away from bread all together, and having post workout smoothies with plant based protein powders (vega or hemp pro) Seems to be working.…

  • Get your grains, nuts, dried fruits in bulk. Way cheaper than pre-packaged. Stock up on in-season, hardy green vegetables when they're cheap and keep them frozen. Like kale, collards, spinach, chard, etc. Wash, chop them up, put in a tupperware or zip loc and just put it in the freezer. You won't lose much nutrition, if at…
