Calories consumed < calories burned = weight loss

Most people need rest days. If your body says it needs rest, like now, then rest.

Its a glitch in the Matrix. MFP merely sets a warning at 1200 cals no matter if you've exercised for them or not.

Ride the newbie gains wave as long as you can.

Nope. The ONLY reason I'm cutting is to look better naked.

Raspberry ketones? You mean I can get my ketone bodies to smell/taste like raspberries? EDIT: HAHA, I just found the one study on raspberry ketones. Its on rats, and hasn't been studied in humans. Why would you take this pill, and not just lower your fat intake? AND 2% of your diet would have to come from these things.

Well she was in the wrong thread earlier then, and should have posted her own thread about her husband. Better yet, have her husband post his own thread. AAAAAANNNNNDDDD ........boom goes the dynamite.

Yes, we'll have to wait to see what percentage of the yolk he ate to give it a proper name.

Off topic or wrong thread.

It didn't happen without pics.

Just 1Lb? Nope. Now that he's found a trademarked diet plan, he'll lose 5% body fat and gain 10lb muscle in a week. Keep us posted?

Use the search tool. This has been asked before.

I'm agreeing with you Jenn. Progressive overload is still "switching things up". If he wants to believe everything Tony Horton tells him, far be it from me to keep him from his daily DOMS.

6-8 sets of 3-5 reps each. Again, EAT MORE.

Which it does.

It isn't necessary at all. It is used to supplement your diet with added protein. A chicken breast or any other meat will give you the same benefits as a protein shake. Additionally, protein shakes, by themselves will not cause weight loss. The added protein will add in muscle repair, but it has no direct effect on weight…

This.

I take it and love it. Half of the fats in coco oil are medium chain triglycerides, as opposed to the standard long chain variety. Unlike longer chain fats, MCTs go the liver and are available for use far more rapidly by other tissue. In addition, MCTs are preferentially used to produce ketone bodies which can be used…

I'd say hourglass too. Even once you lose your love handles you still got your hips and I'm guessing a booty on you. So, hourglass.

Your measuring device is likely off. If not, see your cardiologist. You should not be training above your maximum heart rate.

So many variables contributed to that conclusion.

Broccoli, lettuce, or pretty much anything green. Fruit doesn't have the greatest calorie/fiber ratio.

1400 here. Just don't look at my diary on the weekends, cause it won't be anywhere close to 1400.

Yes, you will burn body fat when you burn more calories per day than you eat.

I use Quest Protein bars. Lots of fiber, very little net carbs.

Yes, essential fatty acids are fat (hence the name) and should be counted towards your daily fat allotment. Anything you put in your mouth counts towards your daily caloric allotment.

Then why would you post anything here? To the OP, a standard cut diet would last about 6-8 weeks long. 1.5g/lb protein, 50g carbs, and about 50g fat. Workouts will vary depending on person. To those talking about creatine, creatine ethyl ester (CEE) has not been found to be any more or less effective than creatine…

What's "artificial" to you then? I've seen you mention it a couple times, but I'm having difficulty figuring it out. What are the artificial ingredients in these bars? Are they harmful?

Dance, sing, chew gum, tap your feet, just try to keep moving as much as humanly possible while in a sitting-down-while-concentrating-on-not-dying mode.

Ghrelin causes you to be hungry and binge on sugar, pizza, and pasta. Not insulin.
