No, protein shake is food. If you can get enough protein in your diet, you do not need a shake. However, they are tasty if you get the right brand and easy to consume if you don't have time to eat your protein. Plus, they are highly bio-available and fast digesting.

As I have no experience with dating men, I can't speak to that :noway: , but I do believe it's fair to say that men are picky too. But then again, a lot of men will literally go after anything that moves. I can't waste my time talking to a woman I'm not attracted to.

I found to be as vague as possible in my profiles. Being particular just allowed the women to cross you off moreso than it helped. Get to talk to them, create some attraction, and if she's into you, she'll pretty much accept you for who you really are.

Its all about the pictures. Seriously. And then, its all about creating emotions when you talk to them. When I joined my first dating site early last year, I was having no luck. But as I continued to improve my body, my luck began to change. Recently a couple of months ago (when I became single again) I joined again, and…

At rest extra muscle doesn't really burn more calories, but it has the capacity to do so, assuming you actually use it. Meaning. Someone with high muscle mass has the capacity to burn more calories. But at rest, I think I've read something like 2kcals per lb extra or something really low.

Absolutely. I lost 150 in 14 months, and I helped a girl lose 110 lbs in 12 months. But you have to be dedicated and extremely driven to have results like that.

Definitely incorporate a weight training regiment to your routine. Weight training while dieting doesn't really build much muscle. It preserves what you have and ensures optimal body composition changes. (Higher % of fat being lost vs lean body mass). In the end, you'll look better weight training while dieting.

Diet is 80% of the battle with weight loss, not exercise. Although I do agree that not eating back your calories is a good thing as long as you account for your activity into your daily goal. I'd recommend 1500 per day every day for a few weeks to see how that treats you. Learn how to diet properly 1st, then add in…

Yeah, what is likely the problem is you're consuming more calories than you think by not accurately measuring your food intake.

Do you own a food scale? Do you use it? Do you measure everything you eat in weight (down to the grams)? Do you eat back your exercise calories?

IF you haven't lost weight in 2 months. Eat less food. What are your current stats?

Love the hair, and YES!

LOL Chris!

Well, considering protein has a higher TEF than fruit, your body will "see" slightly less calories assuming the calorie content is the same for each item. Also, meat/protein is more satiating and also helps with muscle retention. But everyone can fit both meat and fruit into their diets. No need to choose between them IMO.

Learn how to use a food scale/measure your food properly. #1 tip of all time.

Learn to deal with hunger. It gets easier with time. With that being said, I've always found pounding water after my last meal kept me full longer, or really late, drinking a diet soda took the edge off my hunger pains.

The real question is has anyone in this thread said no? LOL

Yeppers. ;)

Yes, when I started getting really lean, I required a lot less sleep. But during the bulk of my weight loss, I found that the added exercise and less calories allowed me to sleep better.

Shaylee, I know you've already asked me and just wanted other opinions. Here's a great article on setting your deficit http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/setting-the-deficit-small-moderate-or-large.html In short, with an adequate diet, high in protein, the deficit doesn't really matter. There is no research that I…

Uh huh!!! Me too!

LMAO... Strong confusion! ^^^ Let's just say you are mistaken. Don't confuse what you think happens with what really happens. Science and common sense disagrees with you.

Quite simply, to lose fat you need to burn more calories than you consume. Diet mostly. But yes, cardio helps burn calories as well.

Lose fat.

In short, eat when you want to unless you're doing some endurance exercising. Eating before or after a workout is pretty much just a personal preference thing.

True story! ^^

You should find a new personal trainer if he is yours. Sugar by itself does inhibit fat loss within a calorie deficit assuming you have no underlying medical conditions.

Oh really? What kind of accent?

LOL, what? ^^^ Unless is specifies nutritional content is "cooked", use the raw content. You think bacon goes from being 50-75 calories per slice to what, exactly when its cooked?
