Figuratively speaking, You're hitting the wall -- when means that you're depleting basically all of the energy storage in your cells. People have suggested using "GU' packets. I use these to make sure I don't experience the issues that you're talking about. If you do decide to go the Gu route -- be careful. Some have…

Menshealth... ehhhh? I got a two year subscription as a Christmas present from my parents. Needless to say - I didn't renew it when the time came. They print stuff to print stuff... literally, every month sounded the same. Often times the magazine recycled the same information and used obscure, weird studies as…

I hear what you're saying loud and clear.. (feel free to check out my profile and add me as a friend). Personally speaking -- if you want to get in shape and lose weight, nothing is better than running. On the flip side - when you're overweight and just starting out -- man, oh man, does it ever take a toll on the body.…

Not a triathlete -- just a runner and a cyclist. (I'm an awful swimmer!) I would say, similar to running -- start with the 'sprint' triathlons, before moving up to the longer Ironmans (70.3). Also, the key to training is consistency. Find out what works for you to avoid bonking -- a couple of examples: I like to use 'Gu'…

No, it does not necessarily mean that you burn more calories. When people are doing strenuous workouts-- one way to see where your body is with respect to recovery -- is how in line your HR when you wake up is... For example - I have a resting heart rate of 56. If my resting HR is in the mid to high 60s, it's a sign that…

I'm single and live with two friends from high school. One leads a sedentary lifestyle, and by my estimation, has gained about 50-60 lbs since graduating college a few years back. The other is active-- he runs, plays golf (walking the full 18) etc... However, both have awful diets. For the first, the results are clear. You…

I don't understand smoking after (or before) a workout. But, my father and my cousin (both moderate smokers) contend that their cigarette after working out is the best one of the day.

Huh? What's the debate? Driving a car is not intrinsically bad for you Open the windows if you're going to paint, although, I didn't think paint was toxic given that lead paint has been outlawed. Use aerosols with no CFCs Use the proper precautions when handling bleach or anything else that can damage the skin / eyes I've…

This says heroin does not damage the liver. Would it be from something like hepatitis? http://www.heroinhelper.com/user/health/disease.shtml#liver

You need to get out of this living situation. Period. It doesn't matter how you do it, just do it.

Sure - tip him or buy him a gift certificate to somehwere -- maybe a local restaurant or something.

For what it's worth, sculpting is something you do -after- you've lost all of the necessary weight, and in many cases, that you're body fat % is low enough and you're trying to accentuate specific muscles.

This has to be fake, right? For the sake of this being possibly 'real' -- I'm happy to share my brutally insensitive thoughts: Everyone needs to go, including your deadbeat husband. He sucks. Who gets fired from McDonald's unless you're blatantly stealing? If he can't hack it there, then that should be a tell tale sign…

Forgive my ignorance -- I'm new here. But what is TOM?

Yes, for instance: My cousin is a crossfit trainer and the workouts generally last between 15-20 minutes -- but it's a number of different exercises with no weights. I remember having to do 5 sets of 30 burpees and alternating them with 5 sets of 50 squats. It's go at your own pace, but you're not supposed to stop -- your…

Wow! Just wow...

Amazing job!!

I'm a huge fan of chobani and Fage Greek yogurts. Usually one brand of the Greek yogurts is on sale -- that stuff is naturally much healthier for you. I also get skinless chicken breasts for the grill.

The empty calories are killers. It comes down to setting limits for yourself.

200 miles in one ride?

You didn't put the weight on overnight. So, its not coming off overnight.

Crank water the following morning. If possible, try and get a workout in. Last but not least-- friends say that using a steam room or a sauna helps them cleanse. Just be careful about putting your body under too much stress. Also, not the funnest option, but try and schedule a workout really early the following day. Its a…

Yes- rotating drinks with water is the best thing you can do. Also, not sure what you drink, but if its liquor-- mix it with soda water, instead of coke or juice-- which has extra calories.

I had an aunt gain 50 lbs after she quit smoking. Smoking, as a way to relieve stress is one thing, but nicotine is also a huge appetite suppressant -- so it's normal to snack. My advice: try not to buy junk food. When you get a hunger pang -- snack on something very low calorie (perhaps carrots and hummus). Out of sight,…

Hi! Just to give you some context -- I'm a 26 y/o male. I'm not in the midst of taking protein shakes, since I'm training for a marathon, but I'd be happy to share my experiences. (1) I used protein shakes as post-workout snacks. They're best when you take them -right- after a workout or before you go to bed-- both are…

I'm not sure what you're schedule looks like, but if possible, try to eat 5-6 smaller meals every 2-3 hours, versus three large meals. You said 'mood swings' and other things in your profile. Most peoples' mood is directly related to how hungry they are... Eating the smaller, more constant meals should keep your blood…

What are you doing for exercise?
