how so? won't keep the weight off? how so? damage? how so?

.. another good thing that i try to remember... if you're hungry, eat.. simple, and effective.

what's the point of doing 2 hours of cardio, just to eat the calories back? might as well sit at home watch tv and i guess eat less..

I'd love to read the science behind your statement.

true... true.. actually BMI can be pretty annoying to follow sometimes... my 2 cents is still, "slightly overweight' means your body can use the stored fat as energy while on a calorie deficit.

^^^^ Body Mass Index...

^^^^ Im with ya about not catabolizing lean muscle.. But medical studies have shown that if you are overweight/obese your body will use fat cells as the primary source of energy conversion to keep your body moving, and it will not use lean muscle until other options have been depleted.. Now for someone who is lean, low…

this msg is for the OP... Im sorry if you already posted it and i missed it.. Do you know what your body fat percentage is? If you are at 5-8 percent body fat, then you are going to be slowing down your metabolism, but you will also be at 5-8 percent body fat which is pretty lean and shredded right? Im sorry, I don't…

some really good posts here! im glad to hear no one flaming the eating under 1200 calories thing, (sometimes,maybe not every day)... i can't tell you how many people i know say if you eat less you will not lose weight etc, blah blah blah.. it's pretty simple sometimes, if you eat less you will lose weight.. will your…

wait? why can't you go under 1200 calories?

I'm in

is this post for real?

I'm sorry.. but everyone who is saying this doesn't work is dead wrong and don't know what they are talking about. It absolutely will work. You are replacing potentially high calorie meals with clean low cal shake. You will melt the fat away. I would recommend adding a little fiber to one of the shakes to help fill your…

next time you see him remind him that technically speaking we are all on a diet! A healthy diet, a crappy diet, etc.. Everyones daily macros = their diet.

nice job!!! May i ask what your daily calorie intake was and did ya do any exercise? :) Great job.. I dropped 7lb last week.. but i'd love to get in that 10 zone! Not sure i can do that with my weight lifting-cardio-daily intake ratio

I don't trust the number on the cardio machines. Too inaccurate to go by it. And to an extent even a heart rate monitor. What I do is take the heart rate monitor cal burned number and subtract about 20% from it. Apparently studies have shown a 15-20 % readings on the high side for these devices. So I work a little harder…

I agree with the OP. I use pb2 with my protein shakes daily. Minus the almond milk for water and it tastes delicious!!! And it always makes me think of Reese's pieces. Calories 158

Anyone who wants to add me feel free.

Great post! I'm new here but I unknowingly did this with everyone. A few days before the start date. Weighed in last Monday at 319 and today I was at 312. 7 pounds down in a week. I'm happy and will certainly keep me motivated.
