this is a good one. you can set it to cycle cals. http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/

i have made this recipe before, i give it a thumbs up,

truth. when i was cutting some and doing fast days my weight would jump 3-6 lbs from ONE day to the next. no worries, it is good to have a diet break. of course i have no scientific evidence what so ever to back that statement up ;)

not worth the extra cost, unless you do it cheaper that buying at a store or small can/bags online. I buy from honeyville grains in a 50 lb bag. it will keep in the bag just fine or you can store in a 5 gallon bucket with lid. the cost for a 50 lb with shipping is $57, which comes out to $0.07/ounce. bobs red mill on…

i bought the you are your own gym app, 2.99. i would say worth the 3 bucks. lots of exercises and create your own stuff, different types of workouts, interval, ladder, tabatas, etc.. all stuff you can do at home. all right on my phone. takes a little figuring out to get going how i like. i paid more for bad coffee before,…

let me count the slices - 2 slices sugar cream pie, 2 slices pumpkin pie, slice of pecan pie, slice of apple pie. 2 slices short of a whole pie. now i have a goal for next yr.

my method is working out to more of a 4:3, or ADF i guess. my TDEE is around 2200 cals/day, 15400/wk. i do 4 days at 2500 and 3 days at 750. gives me 12250/wk. a nice deficit that i have lost lb/wk at for the last month or so. helped me break through a level i had been at since feb. - march time frame doing 16:8 IF. that's…

i like the pic. not bashing it. just not detailed enough for me. not here to offend or play the i know more than everyone else game.

that's a nice picture and a start, but books have been written on this subject. that's what i could write here. one thing the pic does not cover is you can buy a chuck from your local supermarket and one from the local organic farmer down the road and the one from the farmer will taste ten times better, cut like butter,…

i have been using a sourdough starter i got from a lady at church since feb, and prob for the rest of my life. just made a couple loaves of bread last night. make cinnamon rolls from it, pizzas, sweet bread. eating my PB&J for lunch. fresh bread....so...tasty.....

yes please

this is a thread from a couple months ago, so i will reply directly to you. 5:2 can work for you. it is a mental game. you won't starve and your body won't shut down. it is only difficult if you let it be. prepare yourself mentally. keep busy. detach yourself from food. it is not really a diet, any form of IF is more of a…

More Protein. i used to eat smaller meals and was hungry all day, constantly eating little bits. i switched to doing 16:8 IF. i eat two large meals. much happier and not hungry nearly as much.

i like trutein choco PB cup and cellucor cinnamon swirl in water. didn't care much for ON in water, milk yes, water no.

stop focusing on the struggle. the more you focus on the struggle the more it wins. it's all mental. if you really want to kick it that is, i see no problem with a couple 2-3 cans of diet pepper a day. matter a fact i think i will crack one open right now.......

what, no elephant ear? beat your face

the Jeremiah verse is a good one, i have it outlined in my bible. i also like Philippians 1:22 "Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ". He can use you no matter where you are in life. you are created in His image. so maybe pray about how you could be used now, and how if you lost weight and were more…

as a dude, i have tried both. i prefer the way the Ripped is set up. and you get 4 routines instead of 3. but ya, harder than the shred. a lot more sweating involved in the ripped. i am only to the 3rd routine and my thighs were screaming.

sugar free coffee flavorings and splenda. cause i like it sweet. like it for cottage cheese too.

if you dont have a good meat thermometer use the finger test, http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/the_finger_test_to_check_the_doneness_of_meat/ steak seasoning, well it is all what your taste is. i have used soy, teriyaki, hidden valley ranch, montreal, salt & pepper, cumin, you name it. a good seasoned salt an pepper…

what i have used - ON, double chocolate - water and milk. mixes very well. tastes good. trutein, Choco PB - water and milk. mixes even better, thicker. good taste Cellucor, Cinnamon Bun(i think that is what it is called) - water and milk. needs a little more shaking to mix, but mixes well. taste is freaking amazing. tastes…

make your own- sourdough starter, water, flour, oil, salt. done. ok, well let it rise first, punch down, form, rise, bake, then done.

what to do, last week(and this week) i put myself on a cut cycle. why? so i could take my wife out for our 16 anniversary and eat - Calamari, pita chips with artichoke/crab dip, salad, maple smoked porterhouse with rice and snow peas, and of course a brownie sundae. the sundae was for both of us but she took one bite and…

pretty much everything. i had to change my mindset. what food is and what it means to me. what it does for me and to me. not easy and not fun. but i like the results of self control. unless someone leaves a pan of brownies laying around, then self control is out the window.

ya, i almost spit my tea on my keyboard. that's funny. maybe some broccoli frosting to go with it. i prefer my moms red velvet cake. no one makes it like mom does.

i have been doing IF for about 7 months now. it is great for controlling my eating. i had been eating 1700ish cals. but wasn't getting the results i wanted, less body fat. i upped my cals for a few weeks, two 1000-1200 cal meals a day. so right now trying to cut a little so doing two 800-900 cal meals also following IIFYM.…

my vote is Poop.
