Yeah, it is good for the Bs. The signs in Ireland often read, "Drink Guinness, It's Good For You!"

:smokin:

And scotch, I love me some Lagavulin or Laphroiag!

Soda usually tastes gross to me now, even real sugar soda... but if you like it, drink it. Just stay within your goal calories. I will have a quality ginger-ale on occasion, and Guinness is at least once a month!!

Churros. You should ALWAYS eat churros whe you go to Disneyland. And then go to Blue Bayou.

I would try to make sure I have the room available for my recover shake after my workout. My shake runs about 350 calories. I usually only have a smoothie and some chocolate before I work out... and now a scoop of protein. But the 30 minute window after a workout is great for nutrient absorption. I would utilize this if I…

I found the 40 carb 40 protein 20 fat ratio impossible, and switched to a 40 carb 30 fat 30 protein ratio. I do much better with macro goals now.

I am doing it now. I restarted it at the end of December. I am doing the M version, so it is 30 days 1-2 30 days 3-4 and the added 30 days 5-6 It is going well. The first week I did, back when I first started it at the end of September, whooped me. It was quite a bit easier after week 1, though. I now do weight training…

Hehehehehe! The Pizza Hut is a couple times in the last few days, and the Chinese take-out seems like a norm to you as well! LMAO

Also, I do not struggle with fast food, if I want it, I eat it. No struggle here.

If I eat a salad, there will be half an avacado, some sauteed steak or chicken thigh, and salsa or ranch and cheese on it. Healthy? Yes. I get my protein, my fat, and some of my carbs. Good fat, good protein and good carbs... for more than 500 calories...

Actually, that isn't true about Taco Bell.

New Balance. Love 'em.

I switched to non-fat and low-fat milk at first, and gradually worked into just drinking water most of the time. Also, this will get some derision, but a 14 to 30 day juice fast will reset your palate, and that can help a lot.

If you want the nutrient content of bee pollen get bee pollen granules. They go good in protein shakes and smoothies. And, it is a whole food more than a supplement. It doesn't have wacky ingredients either.

No, it isn't bad. Depending on how you work out, you may wish to change the % of your intake of your macro-nutrients.

I added a protein shake to my breakfast, because I needed higher protein intake. And, I am drinking a night-time protein shake (I concoct them into meals, except the AM one, it is in water). My post w/o shake is an insane nutrient dense power meal made with a lot of real food and a scoop of protein!

It is all about eating less calories than you are expending. Herbalife shakes, in place of meals, cuts your calories back. But, so does portion size with the food you love already. What happens when you lose the weight and ditch the shakes? Get back o your old weight? Train yourself to portion better and adopt better food…

Herbalife is nasty, and not nearly as nutritious as they will try to sell you on. I agree with the post above me. The only shake you should drink for health is your protein shake after you hit the weights!!

I drink nearly a gallon a day. Sometimes more...

Well, if you eat cyanide you won't ever do it again… But you can eat it.

Pot can induce atrial fibrillation. It is rare. It happened to me. It is something I must now deal with. Pot affects the growth of the brain through the mid 20s. This is permanent affect. THC stores in the fat cells in the brain, and impair it's proper function. It is really bad for teens and young 20s. That is just the…

Thank you! I am allergic to gluten… so I only use it lightly in my food… I love gluten products, and gluten is the best for bread and pastry consistency, but it KILLS me… I haven't written it off completely, but I extremely limit it. If Vitamin World caries that Vega, I am gonna try it! I will try that garden of eatin as…

Depends on whether it is sativa or indica. Pot gives me anxiety an panic attacks, so I do not partake. You can eat it in food. If you understand infused butter/fat, it is easy to do. You can also get a vaporizor.

so Shakeology is no good. That is a bummer, as I am thinking about becoming a Beachbody Coach… Maybe I will try to get P90X Certified… NASM is offering a class this month, but I am not ready for it yet. I hope that it comes up again when I finish some of my goals!

Thank you! Anyone else have any ideas?

Looks good. Why not set it a little higher in your goals so it doesn't look like you are going crazy on protein, because you aren't!

You can do a vegan diet for a month. I did that once, and it worked wonders. Another I have tried is comprised of this: Juice of 10 lemons Hottest Cayenne Pepper you can find 1T B grade organic Maple syrup 1T 1 gallon distilled water per day for 10 days That worked well as well. Just cut out processed foods you did not…

I just started to do my MFP recommended calories. I am always under, but try to hit it as close as I can. I do now eat back my workout calories, and find that I am much stronger and have more energy.

I am forwarding my experiment. I have 2 weeks worth of aloe prepped for smoothies. Last month I started taking cayenne pills for borderline high blood pressure. My indigestion flared up… or so I thought. I quit using the cayenne, but I fear I may have induced an ulcer. The burning is in a much deeper place… right where my…
