Why are you being given steroids? Have you discussed alternative treatment options for what you are being treated for? I'm sure that there are other alternatives that wouldn't have just nasty side effects... When the side effects are greater and worse than the effects of the medicine.. They cease to become *side* effects.…

Ok, you're 200 pounds, and you want to lose weight. FANTASTIC! we're with you!! the question is, how fast do you want to lose the weight? I'm just guessing that you want to lose 60 pounds or so? something like that? taking a small cut, like 200-300 calories per day less will take you over a year to make that journey.…

That's almost exactly how much I have to lose to get to 15% bodyfat, we stand as one!

cattle prod. worked for me. seriously, the question is, do you want it, or do you enjoy eating all you want, more?
-
nope, not at all. You are trying to calculate what your bodyfat should be, but measuring what you WEIGH. a 16 oz large glass of water weighs one pound. Eat more salt today then you did yesterday and your body will retain water, making you weigh more. any food you've eaten but not yet gotten rid of will also make you WEIGH…

BMR = Basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories you burn by EXISTING. TDEE = Total Daily Energy Expenditure. This is your BMR plus walking around/working out/being active a 10% cut will not show you any Lean Body Mass (muscle) loss. If you can't lose more than 30 pounds then the math is off, and you are eating too…

No no no no, NO I'm sorry, I don't mean to keep posting but.. THEY ARE NOT SUGAR. sugar, glucose, carbs are sugar. Alcohol/ethanol is SOOO MUCH different. ethanol --> acetate + CO2 + water + acetyl CoA It's not. It's the same ballpark.
-
don't dismiss this. Take an empty milk jug, and fill it with water. Weigh yourself on the scale. Then weigh again holding the full jug of water. You should weigh 8 pounds heavier. This is why you see huge swings in weight changes. Scales show us how much we weigh, what you are really asking is what is my bodyfat…

Fine, but we aren't talking about binge drinkers or alcoholics here, we're talking about us, average joes and janes who like to unwind with a drink or three every now and then. I took my 10% idea from the study cited in the leangains article, where they calcuated that only 3% of the calories consumed from alcohol would get…

http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html It's not 7 calories per gram. There isn't a metabolic pathway to turn ethanol and acetate into fat. Can't be done. So, the 2400 calories in the bottle of jack... isn't really. Honest to christ, we aren't sure what the calorie count of alcohol is,…

Sry cmeirun... No. They calculate alcohol calories based not on how much energy they release when burned, the old school way of directly measuring calories. They did that back in the 1900's. It is fail. We have evolved so much since then, but we haven't updated how we count alcohol calories. You can't turn ethanol into…

It's like you're james bond and one of the charachters from duck dynasty all rolled into one. Plus it helps hide when you have a pooch. For chest hair. Butt hair, back hair, excessive arm hair, toe and finger hair all go into the "con" category of the pros and cons list.

I could write a big long thing, but I'd just be repeating him. Yes it's long and somewhat brainy, but there's no broscience in there.

With alcohol, there's something you should know. I'm a moderate drinker, It depends on the week, but usually 1 or 2 nights a week I'll drink... a half a bottle of something delicious. It never starts out that way mind you, but I wake up in the morning saying "damn, I didn't mean to drink quite so much hooch." I lost 40…

The special K ones aren't bad, I like the strawberry. You have to find a brand that tastes right to you. And you can always make them with skim or 2% milk, makes the chocolate kinds taste phenomenal. With you working out as much as you do, I wouldn't worry about gaining weight, you'd have to eat in a surplus to gain fat..…

Err, what? no.. I just... Read a lot.. >.> <.<

The basics are Eat less, and move more. I know it sounds like a *kitten* answer, but it's really not much harder than that. To help you eat less, add vegetables and protein to your diet, and try and avoid deep fried carbs and sweets. You're a man. we do men things. Lift weights. Grog lift, get stronger, impress Jane.…
-
Perfect!! BTW, I was only poking fun because I love you Nor'easter-ners =) ditch the dry carbs for stuff that has water in it. Do you have access to a microwave at work? The steamfresh bags that you can buy are lifesavers in a clinch. Personally, I'm having a love affair with the steamfresh bags of edamame, they're steamed…

Starting a weight training regimen, escpecially with heavy weights means that you have torn your muscles on a microscopic level. Your body needs protein, water, and glucose to repair the tears in a timely manner, and make the muscle stronger so that it doesn't tear again. You are only gaining weight in that you weigh more…

Hahno.

I agree, scales suck, they only tell you how much you WEIGH, as in how much water your skin is holding, how much food you haven't evacuated yet, and how much your bones and fat weigh. As you lose weight, fatty acids are constantly moving in and out of your fat cells. As you spend more calories each day than you eat, you…

Depends on the strain, if you get something on the sativa side, you get a heady high and you avoid the couchlock and munchies. If you get some skunk with the greatest painkilling potential, those are indica.. which have an intense stone, pain killing effects, and are a great appetite booster for people who find it hard to…

LOL I know right. Not to beat you up OP, we love you, you just made our brains hurt as if we had just slurped an icee too fast.

I re-fed from thanksgiving to mid April after losing 40 pounds, I just burnt out, maintained, and felt fantastic going back into my cut. If you're okay with where you are, there's no reason not to take a break, and let your body adjust to it's new size. Like Jack said, the choice is yours. There is no right or wrong answer.

Shaving sucks, on day two you itch EVERYWHERE, Hair removal cream only lasts a day or two longer than shaving, with the same F'in itching. Wax it. it lasts a month. maybe 3 weeks if you grow hair fast. Srsly, wax it if you want it gone. Otherwise you'll be shaving your body longer than your gf/wife shaves her legs, which…

Sry, he's right. just have to cut like an emo having a good day..
