You can use any gym, but you must upgrade to the £24.99 per month package. However, for those in/near London, you pay that already, so you effectively have it already. Those further out need to upgrade to use multiple gyms though. For reference, I'm a member at Pure Gym Walton-on-Thames, so I get access to all Pure gyms…

2,500iu every day here, regardless of whether I'm in the sun or not. I just take it in a supplement. They're tiny (smaller than half a 5 pence piece) and gel-encased. Easy to take.

Eat raw vegetables instead.

Male cow faeces, to be honest. "Willpower". People need to learn the word.

It genuinely amazes me how many people on here are single. Not those by choice, I mean, but just by situation. I mean, so many people I've met here have amazing characters and look gorgeous even before they started their new lifestyle. Makes me wish I was US-based sometimes, hehe. :)

Rubbish. Going over on protein is fine. Just make sure you drink a lot and you'll be fine. Going over 30% is fine also. I regularly go over my threshold, and I'm on 40% of my caloric intake just with protein! If it were the case, you'd be seeing more serious muscle/body-builders keeling over dead in weeks!

I have. I help train her. :)

Fidget. I do it all day long. I am constantly tapping my foot by lifting the heel up and down repeatedly very fast (essentially makes the whole leg move, engages the calf muscle) That or I twist a pen between my fingers. You'd be surprised how small, quick movements can very quickly add up.

If she has any moral conviction, she will tell her fiancee. It's unfair to enter into a relationship with someone with something this big hanging over it. If he's OK with it, then fine. But he deserves to know.

Less stress helps, as Cortisol is known to be a chemical to hamper fat loss.

South-East English here, although when I speak Italian, I talk in the accent too. Very strange.

Just has a look at these. Nice product. I'd love one, but I'm not paying a subscription to read the flipping data of a product I've bought!

And for those who don't like the name Burpee, the exercise is also known as a Squat Thrust, which I prefer to use. Burpee sounds too childish. The term Burpee comes from the inventor of the exercise, American physiologist Royal H. Burpee, who developed the "Burpee test".

I just take whey protein with L Tyrosine and BCAAs. Of course, not everyone will be into supplements here, but it's an option.

People here confuse Starvation Mode with Adaptive Thermogenesis. Unfortunately it seems no matter how often it's repeated, people just don't want to accept that they are NOT in starvation mode.

I take L Carnitine every day. Whilst the weight loss side might still be up in the air, there are other benefits to it already mentioned.

I'm coming up on my 4th litre of the day now, and I've not even got home to train yet!

No, the above isn't true. Your body can process about a litre an hour, so you won't have trouble even if your urine is clear. Just moderate the speed of intake, that's all.

I drink about 3 litres a day, not including training drinking. That's over double this challenge, and I take it in my stride, so it shouldn't be too hard for people to drink 1.8l (64 fluid ounces).

I love this thread. You are all so FREAKING HOT! :love:

English Italian French German Spanish Portuguese Mandarin Yeah, I like languages. My father was the same when it came to learning them, he found it very easy; I think I picked it up from him.

Jeez. Losen up, everyone. Don't loose sleep over it!

I use the Katch-McArdle formula for my BMR. Needs a pretty accurate reading of bodyfat though (I used the 8-point method for that). BMR = 370 + (21.6 x LBM)Where LBM = [total weight (kg) x (100 - bodyfat %)]/100 From there I work my TDEE in, then remove a percentage for weight loss. Then I split those calories into…

Just bake them. Taste delicious. My favourite vegetable, by far. I just wish my father (he's a chef) would make Sweet Potato Pie. Hmmm, brb, got to make a phone call.... :)

If you are going to train fasted and don't want to lose muscle, I would suggest investing in some BCAA supplements, otherwise you'll end up consuming muscle when training. I won't comment on the other stuff like the diabetes things because that's not something I'd know about.

Single. Working on the "sexy" part. :)

Personally, if I use oil, it's Coconut Oil. If no oil, then I use a ceramic pan. :)

Eat what you want, when you want. If it fits your calories and macros, just eat it!
