Haha, touché.

Yup, studies have linked artificial sweeteners to weight gain. http://www.purdue.edu/uns/html4ever/2004/040629.Swithers.research.html That was followed by a Time Magazine follow up a couple years later: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1711763,00.html For a Yale piece:…

You will have to find the cause of your problems. Metabolism is controlled by your hormones. At your age, if you have a slow metabolism, its likely caused from not eating enough. And judging from the picture, you don't have an issue with a slow metabolism. It sounds more like you have a psychological issue with food. If…

That's difficult to answer. It depends on your current body composition and what you think "runners legs" look like. It will also depend on your genetics, how stubborn your lower body fat is, and how easily you gain muscle. Because of all those conditions, I'll throw out a number of 6 months, just to throw out a number.

There always seems to be some sizing up in gyms, unfortunately. But don't let that bother you. You might get more stares just because you're a woman, but that's just like you said, there's not many women in there. Just focus on you and you'll be fine. And most of the guys in there don't work out right anyway. I've seen it…

Downing some BCAA's usually helps maintain muscle mass. Or exercise at night.

Potassium supps are limited to less than 100mg per pill. So in order to get your RDA requirement of 3500, you'd be downing 35 pills a day. Not cheap. But I guess its lower carb than my usual bananas, potatoes, and V8.

Yup, I saw that. Well done!

Yup, we're getting somewhere. Google, you take so much less time than posting on the forums. Thank you for being so...google :)

Depends on your goals, current health, and body composition. Not knowing any of that, my answer will mean nothing so....eat them.

Seriously? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient

HA! Seriously?

Eat less. Yes, in any hypo caloric diet you will lose muscle. But that's what happens.

No, you gain weight when you eat more calorie than you burn. If the net effect of the two days come out equal, then you will stay the same weight. Its math.

Proteins, fibers, and fats help you feel satiated longer. Try some cottage cheese right before you go to bed. Since a bulk of cottage cheese proteins are the casein variety, as opposed to whey, the body digests them slower and may keep you feeling fuller in the morning. If that doesn't work, eat more.

If a hypocaloric diet is not working for you something is wrong. If its not biological its psychological. Meaning, if your body isn't the problem, you are. Calories in < calories out = weight loss.

Maybe true. I'm overweight according to BMI. But its for a majority of people. Once people get to a place where they're fit, they're in a place where BMI doesn't matter and body fat, counting carbs, fats, metabolic slowdown, ghrelin, leptin, ec stacks, etc matter. For the majority of the people on this site, BMI is a good…

I've never heard of any of those. I'm going to guess your pres contain caffeine, creatine, beta alanine, l-tyrosine, arganine, maybe? And your post contains protein, maybe some glutamine, and maybe some carbs?

It depends on if my supps have any calories. If they do, I'll log them. If not, I don't. Its pretty simple. What kind of stuff are you taking? D-anabol, test, clen, caffeine, water, protein, creatine, food, etc? There are beneficial effects to many supps out there. Most won't do anything other than have a placebo effect,…

Like I posted yesterday on the same topic, the one study that has been done on them was done on mice. Plus, they had to feed the mice a ton of raspberry ketones, 2% of the diet, in order for anything to happen. So in order for these pills to be effective you'd probably have to down a bottle a day, at least, in order to be…

Eggs for breakfast. Maybe some ham/bacon. Yogurt, cottage cheese, greek yogurt for lunch. Chicken/turkey for dinner. Maybe some frozen yogurt for desert.

Eventually, they'll be charging by the sneeze, cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat, etc. Everytime you think of taking a break from the gym/exercising it'll cost you, literally.

Blythe same token, there are a number of smokers out there, my grandpa comes to mind, that can smoke and never have any smoke related health issues. But are those people "healthy"? If you consider the financial impact weight has on the medical community as a whole, by the pound, by the cigarette, by the drug is a great way…

Increasing speed and incline will increase your heart rate. Increasing heart rate burns more calories. Burning more calories will cause more weight loss. 5km/h? That seems slow, maybe my math is off.

The unfortunate side of that is that a lot of obese people ARE sick. From diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, to joint problems, obese people deal with more health related problems than those of the slimmer variety. Does every single overweight person out there have these issues, clearly not. But do the…

True. So many times I've tapped out way too early. But recently I might make it 3 rounds.

There has been a long running debate in my house over the usefulness of fighting in the sport. My girl says its proper and its the way we've always done it. I say it should be more of an art and art doesn't follow old fashioned rules. Eventually I give in and enjoy the game, with or without the punching.

Yeah, I'm not finding a strong red zone defense, its the ability of the offense to put it together to drive it home.

Are any guys afraid to score while their girl is in the red zone?
