I like this site for tracking my food because they have an android app, but I prefer fitclick.com for exercise. it have a bigger selection and I think it is more accurate. then I enter it here as general cardio.

I eat a low protein high carb low fiber diet and can't seem to stop loosing weight. of corse I also manage a restaurant, and work out three times a week.

have you tried eating blue cheese with your beans? the mold breaks down the compounds responsible for the gas so they can be absorbed.

there are a lot of factors but the big one is that whole wheat flour has a good bit more fat in it. the other thing is making a yeast leaven bread from entirely whole wheat flour is virtually impossible. the reason being that the germ literally cuts the gluten strands so they have to use other additives to compensate and…

let me elaborate a little bit so that it doesn't sound so negative. honestly you could consider me a flexible vegetarian in that I take measures to reduce my consumption of meat, tho out of necessity and not by choice. most people would be surprised at how little protein the body really needs. on to what I was saying…

as long as your still producing lactase dairy, especially fermented dairy such as yogurt and cheese, is a very easily digested protein. these are rare, and I have yet to find an easily digested plant based protein.

every cell in the body requires cholesterol to function properly. the body does produce MOST of what is needed, but not all, in most cases. there is also a difference between what is produced by the body and what is consumed. actually its not the cholesterol that is different, its the proteins that carry it. most of what…

the recommendations for sodium, as well as weight, body mass index, and cholesterol, are all based on some fairly questionable science. the fact is no one really knows for certain what is optimal, given all the variables, most of which change drastically from person to person, its unlikely they ever will. as long as you…

if you want to hard cook your eggs in large batches you can also use the oven. put a dozen eggs or so in a roasting pan cover with water an place in a 400* oven for 20min. I've cooked 3 dozen at a time this way.

you'd be surprised how much arsenic one consumes in a lifetime. chocolate contains a lot of valuable vitamins and minerals as well, a couple of bites ever now and then is good for you.

there really is no one answer to this question. it all depends on what you do, where you live, how much strength training you do. if you live in a fairly cold climate, or work outside, or in a overly conditioned office building, a little extra fat in your diet may be beneficial for heat production. on the other hand if you…

here is ant interesting problem. bad gas but it doesn't want to come out. any suggestions?

hey man don't nock the juice. some days its the only way reach my goal.

one quick correction to your article. monosaccharides rarely exist in nature, and usually require a refinement process. the primary sugar in most fruits is sucrose, a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose. almost every plant contains sucrose on some level. white table sugar is also sucrose extracted from sugar…

I bake bread all the time, my personal favorite is an italian bread. the principal is the same no matter what kind of bread your making, the difference between styles comes down to the proportions of the ingredients. you start with the water and the yeast just let it sit for about ten minutes then add the rest of the…

personally I'd rather take my chances with pesticides than malaria.

what do you think gatorade is for? it was created to make it easier for athletes to drink salt water. the more you sweat the more sodium the body needs. you may also want to up your iron and potassium.

how about a jump rope with a weighted handle, or a medicine ball. if you want to maximize the bang for your buck pick up a medicine ball, or a kettlebell, and keep it moving as fast as you can control it. strength training and cardio in one foul swoop.

and more believe me. there are so many factors that effect what the scale reads, water retention, wast retention, fluid distribution, even how you stand on the scale. it is not uncommon to see fluctuations of five pounds, in the same day.

the sugar in whole grains and the sugar in refined grains are exactly the same substances, in exactly the same concentration. the difference is not the sugar, whole grains contain other nutrients, like iron, soluble fiber, vitamin B12, etc.. second sucrose, or plant sugar effects the body in the same way regardless of the…

canned brislings, never trust a can that just says sardines, look for the good stuff. all those little tiny bones are loaded with calcium. if you can get past the fact that your eating whole fish with little tiny bones.

this is going to sound like an odd one, but you have got watch your fat intake, fat slows down digestion making you feel full longer. athletic conditioning is the way to go for gaining density, and not just weight, but to do that you still need a calorie surplus. on a side note your not the only one here. I joined so I…

hey I'm currently in my fourth day of a liquid fast. do you feel a like you hungry, but at the same time not want to eat? if that is the case then a fast might be beneficial just to give your gi tract time to rest. I will say that juice and water only takes a lot of will power, but through in a few slices of bread, maybe a…

I strongly advocate that before taking any new medication you should consult your pharmacist first, most of the time they know more about how they work and what to expect than the physician that prescribed it. the way most of those drugs work is by inhibiting the body's ability to produce cholesterol, the long term effects…

fat adds substance to food, it slows down digestion so you stay full longer. too much however can leave you feeling like you just ate 2 pounds too much. over full and nauseous. going a little over on fat will prevent you from eating more, as long as you don't feel it it wont really matter.

loosing weight is the easy part. I know I have said this before, but the number one cause of obesity is malnutrition. as long as you get popper and actually listen to your body it will tell you when enough is enough, and when you need more. just my experience.

just stop getting those bags of microwave popcorn. any popcorn can be popped in a microwave, put a few tablespoons of kernels in a paper lunch bag with a little bit of oil and some popcorn salt, staple it shut and pop it in the microwave.

every time I do this it amazes me what giving my stomach a off can do. I mean I feel tired but that is to be expected, and after one day I can already feel the pressure easing, but that could just be my empty stomach.

allow me to introduce myself a bit so can understand why I do this. never in my life have I had issues with my weight, for most of my childhood I was working out a minimum of 10 hours a week, at some points it was closer to 30, and I always had healthy eating habits to go along with it. that is until a couple of years ago…
