Yes, but only if there aren't any cartoonish features underneath :3

It really is that simple, assuming you're not eating foods you are unknowingly allergic to. Eat the foods you enjoy and have access to, try to acquire micronutrients through 1-2 servings of fruits and veggies a day, get enough fiber to make 2 or more BMs a day (srs). Admittedly, some people (myself included) do better…

If you want protein that is JUST protein/no filler blends: Giant Sports Delicious Protein - Whey/Casein blend, very palatable USP Labs Oxyelite Protein - Whey/Casein blend, VERY tasty, and very new, so may be hard to find GNCs Wheybolic 60 - Good for a house brand, 6/10 taste, has a few bells and whistles (carnitine,…

Sure, but can it just be between me and the belly button?

Squat booty, srs.

Second that on the potassium. Also to drink plenty of water, retention is often the result of slight dehydration. Your body will hold on to that which it believes to be scarce.

6 Month tranformation after a dislocated shoulder put me out, from April 2012 @ 200lbs, to October @ 155lbs . (Hopefully I did this image code right)

Also be aware, there is no such thing as "toning". Regularly engaging in compound movements for the upper body (push ups, chin ups, over head pressing) will develop the arms and you will see them tighten up a bit over time. The rest will come as body fat begins to dip as you increase lean mass. All the best!

Remind yourself of the weight of that gallon of water. Each pound of it is calorie free bodyweight that will actually equate to an extra, albeit small, caloric burn. Plus, your brain and muscles will function better, and you'll be much less likely to snack when you're full of it

@ Celtic Free spirited, artistic type. Animal lover as well, I would presume

OP, what would Goku do? Not srs.

I think it depends on the vegetable, and how consistent you are. I think it's a bit painful to make a huge effort to log reasonable servings of cruciferous, green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, kale, cabbage) that have a near null effect on calories due to their fiber content. However, much like anything else, if the…

Dark hair, beautiful face, toned midsection... the list could go on

Biggest things I noticed; Protein way too low Carbs too high in proportion to activity level Also, you note you don't want to build muscle, yet muscle will be the limiting factor for your metabolism. If you're worried about becoming bulky, stop. It's an extremely slow process to build size with strength training, and you…

I followed leangains with great results for 6 months and used BCAAs peri-workout. Fasted training may be a bit difficult at first, but it isn't so bad as long as you've eaten enough carbs within the window to replenish glycogen for the next session. I'm no longer doing IF, but I enjoy fasted training; I feel as though you…

Water, BCAAs (for something sweet and flavored), green tea, black coffee, and sometimes nescafe thrown in my protein shake :]

Any of these will do just fine; Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength (Get the book, it will teach you loads about form and kinesiology), Stronglifts 5x5, Jason Blaha's Novice 5x5 (if you can find it in the BB.com forums or youtube).

Thigh gap doesn't make up for a gap between the ears. Such an insignificant trait to aim for, lol. Just work hard, be fit, and be happy.

This is a good way to go, eating at and under maintenance while incorporating more strength/HIIT sessions will do wonders for a recomposition effect. You may not see the scale change thanks to the addition of lean muscle, but the mirror improvements will keep you going.

Coming up on a week. Though some profiles change so much that 2 days almost feels too stale.

nice creeper smile... jk, that's a very nice normal person smile :]

Sales and Asst Mgr at a well known supplement retailer, guitarist and vocalist for a tech-metal band and various solo projects, fitness and nutrition nerd allllll day

Gym membership and a food scale :]

IIFYM, food was meant to be enjoyed.

Oat Bran - as little as 1-2 tbsp will expand in the stomach, and keep you full for a couple hours

Plenty of programs include both of these lifts on the same day. I'm currently running a 5x5 variation that has you deadlift once per week, and performing the squats at the start of the session. I think it would be best NOT to compromise your lower back with deadlifts before performing squats to ensure optimum stability.…

Olive oil cooking spray if you want to minimize the additional cals. Otherwise, use a high quality oil for pan frying, and enjoy the healthy unsaturated fats, so long as it fits your macros.
